Published: August 2022

BackgroundThe first 2 years of life are a particularly sensitive period for the parent–child relationship as well as a healthy, age-appropriate child development. Both have been shown to be linked to postpartum depressive and anxiety symptoms, while the role of obsessive-compulsive symptoms, which are also common, is still largely understudied. In addition, fathers have been neglected in this area of research. This study, which includes both mothers and fathers, aims to investigate the longitudinal associations between postpartum obsessive-compulsive symptoms and different domains of child development, as well as the mediating role of the parent–child relationship.MethodsData were drawn from the prospective longitudinal study DREAM, with 674 mothers and 442 fathers from the general population completing self-report questionnaires at four measurement points. Longitudinal associations between parental postpartum obsessive-compulsive symptoms 8 weeks postpartum, the parent–child relationship 14 months postpartum, and child development 24 months postpartum were investigated using regression and mediation analyses. A number of potential confounding variables were considered, i.e., age, academic degree, postpartum depressive and anxiety symptoms of the parents, preterm birth and temperament of the child, as well as COVID-19 pandemic-driven adversities.ResultsWhen adjusting for confounders, neither maternal nor paternal postpartum obsessive-compulsive symptoms had adverse effects on the respective parent–child relationship and child development. Further, no mediating role of the parent–child relationship between parental postpartum obsessive-compulsive symptoms and child development could be confirmed. Instead, we found that the mother– and father–child relationship were differentially related to specific child developmental domains. For mothers, a poorer mother–child relationship was prospectively related to poorer fine motor development. For fathers, a poorer father–child relationship prospectively predicted a poorer overall development as well as poorer gross motor, fine motor, problem-solving, and personal-social development.ConclusionOur results suggest that negative effects on the parent–child relationship and child development may only become apparent in full-blown postpartum obsessive-compulsive disorder. Given the differential impact on specific developmental domains, our findings also suggest that it is crucial to consider both parents in clinical practice as well as in future research, rather than focusing only on the mother–child dyad.

Published: August 2022

BackgroundHollowing temples are common in aging Asians. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) gel is a novel, mechanically processed adipose-derived product containing condensed adipose-derived stem cells and native extracellular matrix, allowing improved fat grafting. The present study evaluated the effectiveness of SVF-gel treatment on temple hollowing.MethodsThis prospective, single-center study included an SVF-gel grafting group (n = 34) and a Coleman's fat grafting group (n = 29). Temple contour was assessed using preoperative and postoperative photographs. Temple augmentation was quantified using three-dimensional (3D) technology and an MVS-600 3D scanner system. Patient satisfaction was assessed postoperatively.ResultsAt 12 months follow-up, the minimal forehead width/forehead width ratio and the width of the temporal peak were increased in both groups (p &lt; 0.05).; and the retention rate (41.2% ± 8.4%) of the SVF-gel group was significantly higher than that of Coleman's fat group (32.6% ± 8.8%; p &lt; 0.05). Moreover, patients in the SVF-gel group reported higher satisfaction scores than those in Coleman's fat group.ConclusionsSVF-gel is effective for temple contouring and augmentation., with increased efficacy compared with Coleman's fat.

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to develop and internally validate a prediction nomogram model in patients undergoing lumbar fusion surgery.MethodsA total of 310 patients undergoing lumbar fusion surgery were reviewed, and the median and quartile interval were used to describe postoperative length of stay (PLOS). Patients with PLOS &gt; P75 were defined as prolonged PLOS. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used to filter variables for building the prolonged PLOS risk model. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was applied to build a predictive model using the variables selected in the LASSO regression model. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the predicting model was calculated and significant test was performed. The Kappa consistency test between the predictive model and the actual diagnosis was performed. Discrimination, calibration, and the clinical usefulness of the predicting model were assessed using the C-index, calibration plot, and decision curve analysis. Internal validation was assessed using the bootstrapping validation.ResultsAccording to the interquartile range of PLOS in a total of 310 patients, the PLOS of 235 patients was ≤P75 (7 days) (normal PLOS), and the PLOS of 75 patients was &gt; P75 (prolonged PLOS). The LASSO selected predictors that were used to build the prediction nomogram included BMI, diabetes, hypertension, duration of surgery, duration of anesthesia, anesthesia type, intraoperative blood loss, sufentanil for postoperative analgesia, and postoperative complication. The model displayed good discrimination with an AUC value of 0.807 (95% CI: 0.758–0.849, P &lt; 0.001), a Kappa value of 0.5186 (cutoff value, 0.2445, P &lt; 0.001), and good calibration. A high C-index value of 0.776 could still be reached in the interval validation. Decision curve analysis showed that the prolonged PLOS nomogram was clinically useful when intervention was decided at the prolonged PLOS possibility threshold of 3%.ConclusionsThis study developed a novel nomogram with a relatively good accuracy to help clinicians access the risk of prolonged PLOS in lumbar fusion surgery patients. By an estimate of individual risk, surgeons and anesthesiologists may shorten PLOS and accelerate postoperative recovery of lumbar fusion surgery through more accurate individualized treatment.

Authors: Karolenko Caitlin E. , Wilkinson Jade , Muriana Peter M. 
Published: August 2022

Validation studies conducted within a food processing facility using surrogate organisms could better represent the manufacturing process than controlled laboratory studies with pathogenic bacteria on precision equipment in a BSL-2 lab. The objectives of this project were to examine potential surrogate bacteria during biltong processing, conduct biltong surrogate validation lethality studies, and measure critical factors and intrinsic parameters during processing. Beef pieces (1.9 cm × 5.1 cm × 7.6 cm) were inoculated with four-strain mixtures of Carnobacterium divergens/C. gallinarum, Pediococcus acidilactici/P. pentosaceous, and Biotype 1 E. coli ATCC BAA (-1427, -1428, -1429, and -1430), as well as a two-strain mixture of Latilactobacillus sakei and other commercially available individual bacterial cultures (P. acidilactici Saga200/Kerry Foods; Enterococcus faecium 201224-016/Vivolac Cultures). Inoculated beef was vacuum-tumbled in marinade and dried in a humidity-controlled oven for 8–10 days (24.9 °C; 55% relative humidity). Microbial enumeration of surviving surrogate bacteria and evaluation of intrinsic factors (water activity, pH, and salt concentration) were performed post inoculation, post marination, and after 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 days of drying. Trials were performed in duplicate replication with triplicate samples per sampling time and analyzed by one-way RM-ANOVA. Trials conducted with E. faecium, Pediococcus spp., and L. sakei never demonstrated more than 2 log reduction during the biltong process. However, Carnobacterium achieved a >5 log (5.85 log) reduction over a drying period of 8 days and aligned with the reductions observed in previous trials with pathogenic bacteria (Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7, L. monocytogenes, and S. aureus) in biltong validation studies. Studies comparing resuspended freeze-dried or frozen cells vs. freshly grown cells for beef inoculation showed no significant differences during biltong processing. Carnobacterium spp. would be an effective nonpathogenic in-plant surrogate to monitor microbial safety that mimics the response of pathogenic bacteria to validate biltong processing within a manufacturer’s own facility.

В статье приведен обзор литературных данных по регистрации и течению различных аритмий у пациентов с COVID-19, частота развития которых была от 8 до 17% и достигала 44–60% в отделениях интенсивной терапии. Описаны основные патофизиологические механизмы, которые совпадают с клиническим течением COVID-19 и могут предрасполагать к развитию аритмий. На сегодняшний день лечение нарушений ритма и проводимости сердца у пациентов с COVID-19 должно проводиться в соответствии с текущими национальными и международными рекомендациями. В статье приведены шкала стратификации риска лекарственно-индуцированного удлинения корригированного интервала QT, а также список наиболее часто используемых препаратов, удлиняющих QTc. Сделан акцент на необходимости выявить и скорректировать модифицируемые факторы риска, к которым прежде всего относятся: гипокальциемия, гипокалиемия, гипомагниемия, одновременное применение препаратов, удлиняющих интервал QTc, и брадикардия. В статье подчеркивается важность рационального выбора лекарственных средств клиницистами и оценки их взаимодействия, а также важность мониторинга ЭКГ у пациентов с риском развития аритмии.
The article provides a review of the literature data on the registration and course of various arrhythmias in patients with COVID-19, the incidence of which was from 8 to 17% and reached 44–60% in intensive care units. The main pathophysiological mechanisms are described, which coincide with the clinical course of COVID-19 and may predispose to the development of arrhythmias. To date, the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disorders in patients with COVID-19 should be carried out in accordance with current national and international guidelines. The article provides a risk stratification scale for drug-induced prolongation of the corrected QT interval, as well as a list of the most commonly used drugs that prolong QTc. The emphasis is on the need to identify and correct modifiable risk factors, which primarily include: hypocalcemia, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, simultaneous use of drugs that prolong the QTc interval, and bradycardia. The article emphasizes the importance of rational choice of drugs by clinicians and evaluation of their interactions, as well as the importance of ECG monitoring in patients at risk of developing arrhythmias.

Ready to use (RTU) shredded iceberg lettuce is a perishable product with a short shelf-life. Expanding the shelf life to seven days of this product as an economic need for the producers is the aim of this research. Fresh samples were harvested from the field and prepared according to the standard protocol of minimal processing fresh produce (receiving, removing dribs and pre-washing, washing, de-watering, packaging, and storing). Several concentrations of sodium hypochlorite were precisely optimized by oxidative/ reductive Potential (OPR) automated dozing pump under controlled neutral pH and cold temperature during washing regimen. Samples were vacuumed packed and kept tightly sealed at 4 °C for further analysis. Aerobic plate count and coliform as well as sensory evaluation were performed. Results showed that at a chlorine dose level less than 700 mV ORP, the shredded lettuce deteriorated due to elevated microbial load as well as from a sensory point of view. The level of 700 and 800 mV ORP extended shelf life for 7 days. Washing with chlorine levels higher than 800 mV showed alteration in sensory attributes although the microbial load was under control.
Results of this study show that the automated ORP chlorine dozing “in form of sodium hypochlorite” at 700 mV (50 ppm) and 800 mV (100 ppm) within controlled pH and temperature, followed by storing the vacuumed well-sealed packs at 4 °C, were the best measures taken to increase the shelf life of the shredded iceberg lettuce from 5 to 7 days. Furthermore, there was no significant difference between the uses of an ORP reading of 700 mV vs. 800 mV of chlorination. However, it is preferable to use the 700 mV ORP reading because it will release less chlorine in the washing water, hence, it will be healthier and more economical.

Improving the quantity and quality of olive oil extraction is considered crucial for producers not only in Jordan but also worldwide. The present study aimed to enhance olive oil yield from olive fruits without compromising its quality by applying an enzymatic treatment technique during the malaxation stage of the oil extraction process.
The enzymes that were used in this study were cellulase, pectinase, and a mixture of both enzymes at a ratio of (1:1). Each of the enzymes and there mixture was added at concentrations of 0.02 %, 0.04 % 0.06 %, 0.08 %, 0.10 %, and 0.12 % (w/w). Two Jordanian olive cultivars, Nabali Baladi (NB) and Nabali Muhassan (NM), in their immature state, were selected for the enzymatic treatment. The olive oil yield increased significantly (P < 0.05) after the enzymatic treatment. The increments in yield were 4.38 % (at an enzymatic concentration of 0.08 %), 3.29 % (at 0.1 %), and 5.25% (at 0.12 %) for NB treated with cellulase, pectinase, and 1:1 cellulase/pectinase, respectively. The increments in oil yield were 4.08 % (at 0.1%), 3.09 % (at 0.12%), and 4.5 (at 0.08%) for NM treated with cellulase, pectinase, and 1:1 cellulase/pectinase, respectively. The percent increments were significantly (P < 0.05) higher for NB than for NM. The quality parameters in terms of acidity, peroxide values, and UV-extinction coefficients at 232 and 270 nm were not significantly affected in any of the treatment groups when compared to those of control samples. The content of phenolic compounds, α-tocopherols, chlorophylls, and carotene was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in both oils in all enzymatic treatments than in the control, resulting in increased oxidative stability, as revealed by Rancimat analyses.
What to Know about Food Flavor? A Review
Authors: Al Saqqa Ghada S. R. 
Published: August 2022

The primary function of flavors is to add taste or aroma to foods, as they have no nutritional properties. According to Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA), flavors have a place in the food supply to meet consumer demand for a variety of safe and tasty products. This review provides an overview of the three flavor groups; natural flavors, nature-identical flavors, and artificial flavors, where they are added to replace the flavor lost through processing and to develop new products, while flavor enhancers are compounds with no intrinsic aroma or taste of their own, but when are added in low concentrations to appropriate foods, they improve the palatability of the food distinctly, a popular example is monosodium glutamate. The food industry is constantly striving to improve the quality and taste of modern food products through creating new flavors and improving existing ones. The flavors of commercially produced food products are usually created by florists who work for flavor companies. Among these commercial flavors are those that are often added to elderly food to offset the losses in their sense of smell and taste. Encapsulation can be used to treat flavors and protect them from evaporation, reaction, or disappearance from food. Flavors manufacturers need to know which ingredients are allowed in the community that includes restrictions and specific requirements for use in food applications.
