Authors: Pengpid Supa , Peltzer Karl 
Published: February 2022

Introduction:
The goal of the study was to estimate the prevalence of anxiety-induced sleep disturbance (AISD) and assess its relationship with psychosocial distress, socio-environmental variables, and health risk indicators among adolescent schoolchildren in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Methods:
Cross-sectional data from the 2016 UAE “Global School-Based Student Health Survey” (n = 5849) were analyzed. The nationally representative sample of all students in grades 8–12 in the UAE was selected through a two-stage cluster sampling procedure. Schools were included with probability proportional to enrollment size, and classes were randomly selected, with all students present in selected classes being eligible to participate.

Results:
The overall prevalence of AISD was 16.2%, 11.9% had AISD among males, and 20.5% had AISD among females. In adjusted logistic regression analysis, older age (16 years or older), lower economic status (hunger), loneliness, frequent bullying victimization (10–30 days), frequently physically attacked (≥6 times), parental emotional neglect, parents never check homework, parental disrespect of privacy, passive smoking on all past 7 days, sedentary behavior (>8 h/day) during leisure time, and multiple (≥4 times) injuries were positively and being male was negatively associated with AISD.

Conclusion:
Almost one in six participants reported AISD, and several factors associated with AISD were identified.

Published: February 2022

Introduction:
Although Bangladesh has made some significant progress in the health sector, home delivery of pregnancy is still a widespread tradition in Bangladesh. The objective of this study was to find the effects of sociodemographic factors associated with mothers' delivery at home utilizing the data extracted from the three Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHSs) conducted in 2007, 2011, and 2014.

Methods:
The present study was based mainly on the three BDHSs conducted in 2007, 2011, and 2014, which used a two-stage stratified sampling design for data collection purposes. For the analysis purpose, frequency distribution and multivariate logistic regression were considered.

Results:
The prevalence of home delivery among Bangladeshi mothers had dropped from 82.60% in 2007 BDHS to 64.17% in 2014 BDHS. In general, older mothers at their first birth, highly educated mother and father, women from the richest household, women who take 4 + ANC (Antenatal Care Service), and women who accessed media were a lower chance of home delivery than their counterparts. The study also showed moderate advancement in the use of institutional conveyance care among mothers in Bangladesh during 2007, 2011, 2014 BDHSs. Large variations in outcome measures were observed between rural and urban areas.

Conclusion:
Our research convincingly confirms that Bangladesh's delivery system implementation level is improving day by day, but the Sustainable Development Goals goals are still far from being achieved. Therefore, to overcome this problem, policymakers must take effective measures to improve maternal education level, wealth status, and maternal health-care service, including family planning.

Published: February 2022

Introduction:
This study was aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the emergency activity restriction policy implementation to slow down the daily incidence and mortality of COVID-19 in the East Java Province of Indonesia.

Methods:
An ecological study design was used for this research as the data were acquired from the daily confirmed cases and mortality reports of COVID-19 in 29 regencies and 9 cities in East Java Province of Indonesia from June 14 to July 25, 2021. Interrupted time series using autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) was used for the analysis.

Results:
The mean of COVID-19 daily incidence and mortality was increasing during the implementation of emergency public activity restriction. The result of the ARIMA interrupted time series reported that the implementation of emergency public activity restriction significantly (P < 0.05) affects the increase of COVID-19 daily incidence in 18 cities and daily mortality in 9 cities. Analysis on the provincial level showed that there was no reduction both in daily incidence and mortality during the implementation of emergency public activity restriction.

Conclusion:
The study reported that the implementation of emergency public activity restrictions was not beneficial in reducing COVID-19 daily incidence and mortality in the East Java Province of Indonesia during the 1st month of policy implementation.

Authors: Lee Bradford W. , Kim Jane S. , Scawn Richard L. , Korn Bobby S. , Kikkawa Don O. 
Published: February 2022

PURPOSE:
The purpose was to study the effects of removal of the lateral orbital rim in patients with prior three-wall decompression for thyroid eye disease (TED).

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This was a single-institution retrospective case series of patients presenting with symptoms and signs of residual symptomatic proptosis that had previously undergone three-wall decompression for TED. Data collected included patient age, gender, presenting symptoms, ocular history, proptosis reduction, and complications.

RESULTS:
Eleven orbits were identified. The mean preoperative exophthalmometry for the operative eye was 24.0 mm with 2.7 mm of relative proptosis. Removal of the lateral orbital rim resulted in a mean reduction in proptosis of 2.5 mm (range: 0.5–5.0 mm, P < 0.001). There was no significant change in diplopia, lagophthalmos, margin reflex distance (MRD) 1, MRD2, or exposure keratopathy. No canthal deformities were noted. All subjects reported satisfaction with functional and cosmetic outcomes of lateral orbital rim removal, and none reported problems with external contour irregularities of the lateral canthal region.

CONCLUSION:
Removal of the lateral orbital rim as part of a maximal orbital bony decompression adds to the decompressive effect of proptosis reduction with minimal side effects.
Stereotactic navigation in orbital decompression surgery – Does it shorten operative time and improve outcomes?
Authors: Chen Ying , Topilow Nicole J. , Lee Bradford W. 
Published: February 2022

PURPOSE:
Stereotactic navigation is being increasingly used for orbital decompression (OD). Recent studies have cited clinical benefits of navigation including greater proptosis reduction but have differed regarding effects on operative time. This study aimed to evaluate navigated vs. non-navigated OD with respect to operative time and proptosis reduction.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Retrospective nonrandomized comparative trial of navigated vs. nonnavigated OD. Operative time and proptosis reduction were recorded and analyzed for all patients.

RESULTS:
A total of 30 orbital decompressions were included; 14 were performed with stereotactic navigation (SN), and 16 were performed without SN. On average, the SN group took 19 minutes longer for 3-wall decompressions (p = 0.185), 25 minutes shorter for balanced decompressions (p = 0.025), and 18 minutes longer (p = 0.067) for lateral wall decompressions. Mean proptosis reduction (PR) in 3-wall decompressions was greater in the SN group (p = 0.02). Among balanced wall decompressions, mean PR was 4.25 mm and 3.67 mm for the SN and non-SN groups (p = 0.30), respectively. For lateral wall decompressions, mean PR was 2.63 mm with SN and 2.50 mm without SN (p = 0.45).

CONCLUSIONS:
This study showed no difference in operative times between navigated and non-navigated OD, although empirical experience showed variable times required for registration and intraoperative troubleshooting of the navigation system. This study also found that navigation increased proptosis reduction for all types of OD. Further randomized controlled trials are needed to better understand the impact of navigation technology on operative times and surgical outcomes.

Authors: Matao Paul , Reddy Bijjula Prabhakar , Sunzu Jefta 
Published: February 2022

This article investigates numerically the effects of Hall current and rotation effects on radiating and chemically reacting unsteady MHD natural convection flow past an accelerated infinite vertical permeable plate in the presence of Soret and Dufour effects. The dimensionless coupled non-linear governing partial differential equations of the problem are solved numerically by employing finite element method. The influence of various physical parameters influencing the flow on the primary velocity, secondary velocity, temperature and the species concentration are displayed graphically whilst the numerical results of the primary skin friction, secondary skin-friction, Nusselt number and the Sherwood number are presented in tabular form. Results reveals that magnetic parameter, radiation parameter and chemical reaction rate tends to depreciate both primary and secondary velocity components whilst Hall, Soret and Dufour effects have reverse trend. Rotation parameter tends to retard fluid flow in the primary flow direction and accelerate fluid flow in the secondary flow direction. Thermal boundary layer thickness decreases with increasing radiation parameter whilst the reverse trend is noticed with increasing Dufour effect. Thermal diffusion effect causes to improve concentration boundary layer thickness whilst chemical reaction rate has reverse impact. These parameters have similar effect on the primary and secondary skin-frictions whilst opposite effect was noticed on the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers. This model problem finds an important in engineering and industrial application such as MHD generators, food processing, heat exchangers devices and internal rotation rate of the sun.

Authors: Muangrat Worawut , Obata Michiko , Hashimoto Yoshio 
Published: February 2022

Nitrogen-doped double-walled carbon nanotubes (N-DWCNTs) were synthesized by floating catalytic chemical vapor deposition (FCCVD) at 1300 °C using ethanol and urea as carbon and nitrogen sources. For comparison, the undoped double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) were synthesized by FCCVD using ethanol as carbon source. Synthesized DWCNTs and N-DWCNTs were separately dispersed in ethanol and separately dropped onto printed circuit board substrate. The fabricated sensors were detected to ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH), acetone and ethanol vapors at part per million level. The sensor response results show that N-DWCNTs are highly sensitive to NH4OH. In the case of volatile organic compounds detection, DWCNTs and N-DWCNTs exhibit similar response to acetone and ethanol. The fabricated sensor from N-DWCNTs to NH4OH vapor was 4-fold higher than that of fabricated sensor from undoped DWCNTs. The sensing mechanism of N-DWCNTs can be attributed to the charge transfer between N-DWCNTs and NH4OH molecule. Nitrogen site has a higher response, resulting in an enhancement the selectivity and sensitivity to NH4OH. The total atomic percentage of N-DWCNTs is approximately 0.90 at%. The results suggest that the heteroatom-doping of nitrogen is a promising approach for improving the sensitivity and selectivity for NH4OH detection.
HIGHLIGHTS

N-DWCNTs were synthesized by FCCVD method using ethanol and urea
Nitrogen site in N-DWCNTs is highly sensitive and selective to NH4OH
N-DWCNTs enabled 4-fold improved NH4OH compared with undoped DWCNTs

Published: February 2022

There are ongoing efforts and studies to mitigate post-harvest losses of the banana through post-harvest employment and processing. Organic acids play some crucial roles in reducing enzymatic browning, biochemical and microbial activity in the dehydration process. This study was conducted to investigate Amritsagar banana powder prepared from ripe bananas and prove the hypothesis that pre-treatment of banana powder improves the storage condition based on the retention ability in physicochemical properties. Bananas were pre-treated with organic acid solutions (0.5 % citric acid (CA), 0.1 % potassium metabisulfite and a blend of both respectively) for 10 min. We observed 2 physical, 5 chemical and 6 mineral content retention properties over 180 days with 60 days intervals from the beginning. By combining ANOVA with Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test (DMRT), we assessed that the blend of 0.5 % CA and 0.1 % potassium metabisulfite secured the highest yield and maximum retention of the physical and mineral properties of the banana powder. This blend also yielded higher protein and carbohydrate but lowered the moisture and ash content. Besides, 0.5 % CA was found excellent in lowering fat content with retain ability. Dehydration was previously considered as an efficacious preservation method for perishable crops like bananas. From the comprehensive assessment, this study concludes that pre-treatment with the blend of 0.5 % CA and 0.1 % potassium metabisulfite increases the efficiency of the dehydration process and also increases the shelf life of banana powder maintaining an appreciable quality.
HIGHLIGHTS

Amritsagar banana was pre-treated, dehydrated, and transformed into powder intended to reduce its post-harvest losses
Soaking in a blend of 0.5 % Citric Acid and 0.1 % Potassium Metabisulfite for 10 minutes was the best pre-treatment process for banana slices
Pre-treatment with organic acids resulted in higher yield, better physicochemical properties and increased shelf life for Amritsagar banana powder

Published: February 2022

In this study, the effects of sulfuric acid on cellulose yield, lignin removal, and lignin recovery in solvothermal fractionation of eucalyptus (EC) were studied. An acid concentration of 0.04 M sulfuric acid (H2SO4), temperature of 180 °C and residence time of 30 min resulted in maximum lignin removal from the solid phase, at 87.7 %. Lignin recovery in the organic phase under optimum conditions was 84.6 %. It should be noted that H2SO4 was the best catalyst in the optimal solvothermal process, and it increased the cellulose yield to 95.2 % in the solid phase. Additionally, the physicochemical and structural properties of the extracted lignin were analyzed using FTIR, TGA, elemental analysis, GPC, and Py-GCMS methods. Thermal degradation analysis showed that recovered lignin is primarily composed of syringyl, guaiacyl and p-hydroxyphenyl units cross-linked by C–C, inter-unit α-O-4, β-O-4 linkages. The weight average molecular weight (Mw) analysis of recovered lignin demonstrated a low molecular weight for recovered lignin (2.19 g/mol). However, the main phenolic derivatives in the extracted lignin obtained from EC were S-units (i.e., syringol, 4-methylsyringol, 4-vinylsyringol). In addition, G-units (4-vinylguaiacol, 4-methylguaiacol, phenol, 2-methylphenol, and 4-methylphenol) were obtained after release from H-units. Py-GCMS analysis showed the predominance of G-units (32.8 %) over S-units (57.4 %). This work demonstrated the potential of fractionated lignin in the production of valuable chemicals in biorefineries.
HIGHLIGHTS

Eucalyptus was fractionated with solvothermal process with different conditions
The maximum lignin removal of 87.7 % was achieved in the presence of catalyst of 0.04 M
Organosolv fractionation enabled an extensive and selective delignification
The structural changes of lignin were characterized comprehensively

Inclisiran (Leqvio)
Authors: Reimbursement Team  
Published: February 2022

CADTH recommends that Leqvio should not be reimbursed by public drug plans as an adjunct to lifestyle changes, including diet, to further reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in adults who are on a maximally tolerated dose of a statin, with or without other LDL-C–lowering therapies, and who have heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) or non-familial hypercholesterolemia (nFH) with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
Evidence from 3 clinical trials showed that treatment with Leqvio lowered bad cholesterol (LDL-C) in adults with HeFH or nFH with ASCVD who were already being treated with the highest possible dose of statins and in those who cannot tolerate treatment with statins.
Patients identified a need for treatments that can reduce bad cholesterol (LDL-C) and cardiovascular morbidity and death; however, there was not enough evidence to show that Leqvio would reduce cardiovascular morbidity and death. Results from 2 ongoing studies (ORION-4 and ORION-8) will contribute valuable information regarding the long-term safety and efficacy of Leqvio when results become available.
