Purification of fumarated rosin
Authors:   Ingevity, Wang Bing 
Published: October 2022

Fumarated rosin can be manufactured by Diel-Alder reaction of rosin, a by-product from kraft paper pulping method. There is always about 50% unreacted rosin left in the process. Recently, there is renewed demand for higher purity of fumarated rosin, due to its multifunctional character. We have developed a new and scalable method to increase the purity of fumarated rosin. We will be discussing the details of this inventive method.

Soybean is widely recognized as a valuable crop and plant protein source due to its ideal amino acid profile. However, deficient methionine content in soybean seeds limits the nutritional utility. Therefore, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) utilizing 311 soybean accessions from maturity groups IV and V was performed alongside genomic prediction models to determine genetic underpinnings and breeding potential. Additionally, sulfur fertilization source and rate were evaluated for their impact on methionine content in soybean seeds. Across four environments, 23 novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified as being associated with methionine content, and average prediction accuracy (r2) ranged from 0.03 to 0.62 for genomic prediction models. Across six locations, soybean plots treated with ammonium sulfate (AMS) exhibited statistically increased methionine content when compared to other sulfur fertilizers. When combined, these results highlight the complex genetic and environmental controls for methionine content in soybean seeds and will positively contribute to protein quality improvement in soybean.

Published: October 2022

Improved oilseed processing has tremendous potential to improve nutrition, food security, and incomes in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA); however, processors face limitations that hinder their growth. For example, only 56% of soybeans produced in SSA are processed. The Soybean Innovation Lab survey highlighted constraints to agro-processors' operations such as access to raw materials, cash flow, cost of entry and operation, and lack of equipment. But while agri-food processing in SSA is still lagging, Reardon (2015) observed an incipient €œquiet revolution€ in such midstream activities. Today, agro-processors in SSA demonstrate great potential to support economic growth€”from large, international companies, to medium/small enterprises supplying districts and towns, to micro enterprises serving communities. These enterprises also provide income-earning opportunities for women, youth, and vulnerable populations, directly impacting their food security and nutrition. To spur growth, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and other donors have invested in improving agro-processing in SSA. In Southern Africa, the American Oil Chemists' Society (AOCS), Soybean Innovation Lab, and USAID-funded Farmer-to-Farmer Program implemented by Cultivating New Frontiers in Agriculture (CNFA) are conducting a pilot to connect AOCS volunteers with processors. This presentation reviews the experiences with the partnership and describes how AOCS members can support African agro-processors.

Background
Patients with colorectal cancer who undergo surgery face many postoperative problems. These problems include the risk of relapse, side effects, and long-term complications.

Objective
This study sought to design and develop a remote monitoring system as a technological solution for the postdischarge care of these patients.

Methods
This research was conducted in 3 main steps: system feature extraction, system design, and evaluation. After feature extraction from a systematic review, the necessary features were defined by 18 clinical experts in Iran. In the next step, the architecture of the system was designed based on the requirements; the software and hardware parts of the system were embedded in the architecture, then the software system components were drawn using the unified modeling language diagrams, and the details of software system implementation were identified. Regarding the hardware design, different accessible hardware modules were evaluated, and suitable ones were selected. Finally, the usability of the system was evaluated by demonstrating it over a Skype virtual meeting session and using Nilsen’s usability principles.

Results
A total of 21 mandatory features in 5 main categories, including patient information registration, periodic monitoring of health parameters, education, reminders, and assessments, were defined and validated for the system. The software was developed using an ASP.Net core backend, a Microsoft SQL Server database, and an Ionic frontend alongside the Angular framework, to build an Android app. The user roles of the system included 3 roles: physicians, patients, and the system administrator. The hardware was designed to contain an Esp8266 as the Internet of Things module, an MLX90614 infrared temperature sensor, and the Maxim Integrated MAX30101 sensor for sensing the heartbeat. The hardware was designed in the shape of a wristband device using SolidWorks 2020 and printed using a 3D printer. The firmware of the hardware was developed in Arduino with the capability of firmware over the air. In evaluating the software system from the perspective of usability, the system received an average score of 3.8 out of 5 from 4 evaluators.

Conclusions
Sensor-based telemonitoring systems for patients with colorectal cancer after surgery are possible solutions that can make the process automatic for patients and caregivers. The apps for remote colorectal patient monitoring could be designed to be useful; however, more research regarding the developed system’s implementation in clinic settings and hospitals is required to understand the probable barriers and limitations.

Published: October 2022

Background and objectives
Membranous nephropathy is a rare autoimmune kidney disease whose increasing prevalence in industrialized countries pleads for the involvement of an environmental factor in the development of the disease. In addition, the predominance of men in membranous nephropathy, classically attributed to biologic or genetic differences between men and women, could also be due to different occupational exposures. To support this hypothesis, we sought to describe the toxic occupational exposures of patients with membranous nephropathy.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements
In this observational epidemiologic study, we compared the occupations and toxic occupational exposures of 100 patients with membranous nephropathy with those of the general population, consisting of two cohorts of 26,734,000 and 26,500 French workers. We then compared the characteristics of patients exposed to an occupational toxic substance with those of unexposed patients.

Results
Patients with membranous nephropathy worked more frequently in the construction sector than the general population (33% versus 7%, P<0.001). This difference remained significant by age and sex. They were also more frequently exposed to toxic substances, such as asbestos (16% versus 5%, P<0.001), lead (9% versus 1%, P<0.001), or organic solvents (37% versus 15%, P<0.001), than the general population. The predominance of men in the subgroup of patients occupationally exposed to toxic substances was not observed in unexposed individuals (organic solvents: 80% men versus 41%, P<0.001; asbestos: 90% men versus 55%, P=0.004). In addition, patients with phospholipase A2 receptor 1 (PLA2R1) epitope spreading were more frequently exposed to asbestos and organic solvents than patients without epitope spreading (32% versus 7%, P=0.02 and 74% versus 43%, P=0.02, respectively), with a dose-dependent effect.

Conclusions
Patients with membranous nephropathy were more frequently exposed to certain occupational toxic substances, such as asbestos and organic solvents, than the general population. This occupational exposure was more frequent in men and in patients with PLA2R1 epitope spreading.

Authors: Schick-Makaroff Kara , Wozniak Lisa A. , Short Hilary , Davison Sara N. , Klarenbach Scott , Buzinski Robert , Walsh Michael , Johnson Jeffrey A. 
Published: October 2022

Background and objectives
Patient-reported outcome measures invite patients to self-report aspects of their quality of life and have been reported to enhance communication with clinicians. We aimed to examine how routine use of patient-reported outcome measures in in-center hemodialysis units influenced patient-clinician communication.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements
A concurrent, longitudinal, mixed-methods approach was used. We used data from a cluster randomized controlled trial of 17 hemodialysis units in northern Alberta that introduced a patient-reported outcome measures intervention. Patient-clinician communication was assessed using a modified Communication Assessment Tool. Using interpretive description, we explored patients’ and nurses’ perceptions of communication pertaining to routine patient-reported outcome measure use. Through purposeful sampling, we interviewed ten patients and eight nurses and conducted six observations in the dialysis units, which were documented in field notes. We reviewed 779 patient responses to open-ended survey questions from randomized controlled trial data. Qualitative data were thematically analyzed.

Results
Overall, patient-reported outcome measure use did not substantively improve patient-clinician communication. There was a small positive change in mean total Communication Assessment Tool scores (range, 1–5) from baseline to 12 months in patient-reported outcome measure use units (0.25) but little difference from control group units that did not use patient-reported outcome measures (0.21). The qualitative findings provide in-depth insights into why patient-reported outcome measure use did not improve patient-clinician communication. The purpose of patient-reported outcome measure use was not always understood by patients and clinicians; patient-reported outcome measures were not implemented as originally intended in the trial, despite clinician training; there were challenges using patient-reported outcome measures as a means to communicate; and patient-reported outcome measure use was perceived to have limited value.

Conclusions
While patient-reported outcome measures use did not improve patient-clinician communication, qualitative data suggest implementation challenges, including limited clarity of purpose and perceived limited value, that may have limited the effectiveness of the intervention.

Published: October 2022

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) was initially reported in December 2019 in Wuhan City, China, as a result of a respiratory pandemic. Since then, the infection has spread rapidly and uncontrollably around the globe, prompting the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare it a pandemic. The study's overall objective is to imitate the COVID-19 infectious trend in Selangor. The SIR model is used to forecast infection and the course of COVID-19 diffusion and estimate the fraction of the population infected. As a result, the Susceptible, Infectious, and Recovered (SIR) model was used to accomplish the study's aims. From March 23, 2020, to June 30, 2020, 100 days of COVID-19 data were extracted from a database on the Malaysian Ministry of Health's website. The RStudio software was used to analyse data on infectious trends in this study. The SIR model is used to predict the basic reproduction ratio, , based on actual and simulated infectious trends for comparison. The value of the basic reproduction ratio for simulating the infectious trend is 2.0, and the basic reproduction ratio for modelling the infectious trend with the entire population of Selangor is 1.15429. According to the findings of this study, the reproduction ratio would affect the number of infected individuals by reducing the number of recovered individuals. The effectiveness of lockdown in preventing COVID-19 disease in Selangor was demonstrated by a significant reduction in the basic reproduction ratio, .

O objetivo deste estudo é identificar a associação entre indicadores sociodemográficos e experiências anteriores em práticas esportivas, como o atendimento í s recomendações de atividade fí­sica (AF) em alguma escola técnica federal nascida em Bagé-RS. Mostrou-se compostada por 93 alunos com idade entre 14 e 17 anos, sendo a maioria do sexo masculino (n = 59; 58,4%). O ní­vel de AF foi medido por questionário e os alunos classificados como suficientemente ativos (SA) ou insuficientemente ativos (IA) de acordo com as recomendações internacionais. Foi realizada a descrição de dois resultados por meio de frequências relativas e absolutas. Associações bivariadas e multivariadas realizadas com base nas chances brutas e ajustadas (OR) e seus respectivos intervalos de confiança de 95% (IC95%) calculados. Os resultados indicam que quase não existem dois em cada 10 alunos do SA. Independentemente dos outros dois fatores analisados, visto que os homens (OR: 6,58; IC95%: 1,57-27,60) apresentaram maior chance de serem classificados como AI. Polí­ticas que facilitem a prática de AF para adolescentes, comuns aos homens, devem ser elaboradas. A oferta de práticas esportivas estruturadas fora do espaço escolar pode ser uma alternativa promissora.
