description: Liquid-liquid extraction of cobalt (II) ions have been carried out using 0.05 M solution of N,N’-ethylenebis (4-propionyl-2,4-dihydro-5-methyl-2-phenyl-3H-pyrazol-3-oneimine) (H2PrEtP) Schiff base in chloroform[RNM1] . Various parameters for the extraction such as effect of pH, concentrations of the extractant, cobalt (II) ion , phase ratio and synergistic effect of 4-propionyl-2,4-dihydro-5-methyl-2-phenyl-3H-pyrazol-3-one (HPrP) have  been investigated and optimized. Extraction with single ligand was observed to have a pH1/2 of 7.05 with percentage extraction of 53.24 % corresponding to logD value of 0.0563, and optimum pH of 9.25 with percentage extraction of 98.43 %, logD value of 1.7971. The synergistic effect of HPrP on the extraction significantly lowered the pH1/2 from pH 7.05 (near neutral) to pH 6.25 (slightly acidic) with percentage extraction of 52.60 % corresponding to logD value of 0.0451. Optimum extraction of 99.30 was observed at pH 8.26 when the mixed ligands, H2PrEtP and HPrP were used.  The extraction of cobalt (II) ions  increased rapidly as the concentrations of the ligands H2PrEtP increased from 2.5×10-3 M to 4.0×10-2 M and that of HPrP from 2.5×10-3 M to to 2.5×10-2. Variation of the metal concentration did not have much effect on the extractions, hence the percentage extraction was relatively high over all the metal concentrations studied.

 [RNM1]The title suggests that chloroform is the solvent.

Lepidotus haydeni

description: 8. Lepidotus Haydeni, Leidy.
A species proposed on a single specimen of a thick oblong square seale, the long sides of which measure 5 lines, and the short sides 3 1/2 lines. The root projects forward from one of the long sides, and the enamelled surface of the scales is covered with parallel square lines.
This species is named in honor of Dr. Hayden, who collected the remains characterized in this paper; and which remains, I suspect, indicate the existence of a formation like that of the Wealden of Europe.

description: The liquid–liquid and liquid-solid extractions of samarium (III) from aqueous nitrate solution using D2EHPA (di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid) and chelating resin “Chelex 100” as extractants have been investigated in this paper in order to recover samarium (III) from aqueous solution. The effect of operating parameters, such as time, nitrate ion, aqueous phase acidity, concentration of the extractant, resin mass, ion strength, temperature on the samarium extraction and various acid solutions on the metal stripping from the loaded organic phase and resin were investigated. The synergistic effect showed that addition of D2EHPA to TOP extraction was obtained for the volume ratio 4.5/0.5. The various thermodynamic functions like free energy (DG), enthalpy (DH) and entropy (DS) of extraction mechanism were discussed. Solid phase extraction was found to be more suitable than the liquid–liquid extraction for samarium (III) recovery. By liquid-liquid extraction the removed quantity was 93.26 mg / g; for the liquid-solid extraction by chelex100 resin the removed quantity was 19 mg / g.
The stripping efficiency was found to be quantitative in HNO3 and HCl 1M. The robustness of the procedure was demonstrated by the average recoveries obtained (>99.6%) for samarium(III).

description: The growth of new blood vessels contributes to numerous malignant, ischemic, inflammatory, infectious and immune disorders. There are two forms of vascular remodeling associated with physiological and pathological processes; angiogenesis and arteriogenesis. It is shown in this study that, practically in all investigated models, the process of intussusceptive angiogenesis, etc. is the first step. Chemical agents lead to the development of intussusceptive angiogenesis in liver that could be the main reason for hemodynamic disturbance.

description: The objective of the present study is to evaluate the values of cancer antigen (CA15-3) and alpha feto protein (AFP) in patients with breast and prostate cancer. Since both studied parameters are expressed either during malignancy or benign in many tissues.

   The study conducted on seventy one subjects grouped as 36 patients with breast cancer G1, 10 patients with prostate cancer G2, and 25 normal healthy controls with range of (40-55) years old. The patients were admitted to Al khadmiya Teaching Hospital for treatment.

    Serum CA15-3 and AFP were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using special kits.

    Statistical analyses were performed by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 19.0 and Microsoft Excel 2010 for data processing and graph construction. Statistical significant difference was (p≤0.05) .and highly significant difference was (p≤0.001).

  The results revealed the values for CA 15-3 in serum of G1 showed a highly significant increase compared to normal healthy subjects, but CA15-3 in serum of G2 was compatible with control. The results showed the value of serum AFP in G1 (was not significant different) when compared to control, while a highly significant difference in G2 was noticed when compared to healthy subjects.

description: To elucidate the overall metabolism of sugars in coffee fruits, in situ metabolism of exogenously supplied 14C-glucose were investigated in segments of pericarps and seeds of two cultivars of Coffea arabica and C. canephora fruits obtained from different growth and ripening stages. The coffee fruits were categorized into five stages 1 to 5 which were corresponding to young, developing, mature (green), ripening (pink) and fully-ripened (red) fruits, respectively. The rates of uptake and metabolism of [U-14C]glucose in fruits of the stages 1‒3 was higher than in fruits of stages 4‒5. Release of 14CO2 which represented cellular respiration was high in both pericarp and seeds of C. arabica and C. canephora up to the stage 3, but it gradually reduced and the minimum was found in the fully ripened stage 5 fruits. The highest incorporation of radioactivity into the methanol-soluble metabolites was found in the stage 2 fruits. In pericarp, incorporation of radioactivity into the acidic component (mainly consisted of organic acids) was much higher than into basic component (mainly consisted free amino acids). In seeds, significant amounts of the radioactivity were found in the basic fractions especially at the stages 4 and 5. [U-14C]glucose was converted to fructose and sucrose in both pericarp and seeds. Only small rate of sucrose synthesis from [14C]glucose was detected 18 h after administration, however, its relative rate is slightly increased at stages 4-5 fruits. Incorporation of radioactivity into the methanol-insoluble metabolites (mainly consisted protein starch and cell wall constituents) was found in any stages of fruits. The maximum rates were found in pericarp and seeds of developing (stage 2) fruits of C. arabica and in those at early three stages 1‒3 of C. canephora. Possible metabolic routes and relative participation of carbon in different metabolite biosynthesis in coffee fruits are discussed.

description: Background: Smart insole technologies that provide biofeedback on foot health can support foot-care in adults with diabetes. However, the factors that influence patient uptake and acceptance of this technology are unclear. Therefore, the aim of this mixed-methods study was to use an established theoretical framework to determine a model of psychosocial factors that best predicts participant intention to use smart insoles. Methods: Fifty-three adults with diabetes from regional Australia completed the validated Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the psychosocial factors that best predict behavioural intention to adopt a smart insole. Additionally, a focus group was conducted and thematic analysis was performed to explore barriers and enablers to adopting this technology. Results: The multiple regression model that best predicted intention to adopt the smart insole (adjusted R = 0.51, p < 0.001) identified that self-efficacy (β = 0.67, p = 0.001) and attitude (β = 0.72, p < 0.001) were significant predictors of behavioural intention, while effort expectancy (β = - 0.52, p = 0.003) and performance expectancy (β = - 0.40, p = 0.040) were moderating factors. Thematic analysis illustrates the importance of attitude and self-efficacy on participants' behavioural intentions, influenced by participant's belief in the device's clinical efficacy and anticipated effort expectancy. Conclusions: This mixed-methods study demonstrates that attitude, self-efficacy, performance expectancy and effort expectancy combine to predict intention to adopt smart insole technology. Clinicians should consider these psychosocial factors when they prescribe and implement smart soles with patients at high risk of foot ulceration. 2

The problem is not from a pinpoint source; rather it is a wide problem which contains many more aspects beyond our imagination in air, water, land etc. Many types of health hazard are in our surroundings and they gradually exposed to us. Occupational exposure to harmful substance is a very important human health hazard Industrial empowerment worsts the problem. Check on polluting industries in Dindigul District at Kulathur. A person cannot avoid this type of health hazard. Foundry industry is strongly set at Kulathur and as such polluting the area and affect the life of nearby living persons and workers. Iron is the world's most commonly used metal and can usually be found with other elements in the form of steel. The frequently recorded health disorders between iron and steel industry workers includes: respiratory and skin problems as well as noise-related hearing impairment. An assessment has been done for the occupational hazard at iron foundry through haemoglobin concentration and total erythrocyte count. A decrement in total erythrocyte count (TLC) different Leukocyte count (DLC) and haemoglobin concentration (Hb. Conc.) has been found in foundry workers which is alarming to take rehabilitate steps.

description: Severe Community Acquired Pneumonia (SCAP) challenges public health globally. Considerable improvements in molecular pathogen testing emerged in the last few years. Our prospective study combinedly used traditional culture, antigen tests, PCR and mNGS in SCAP pathogen identification with clinical outcomes. From June 2018 to December 2019, we conducted a multi-centre prospective study in 17 hospitals of SCAP patients within 48 hours of emergency room stay or hospitalization in China. All clinical data were uploaded into an online database. Blood, urine and respiratory specimens were collected for routine culture, antigen detection, PCR and mNGS as designed appropriately. Aetiology confirmation was made by the local attending physician group and scientific committee according to microbiological results, clinical features, and response to the treatment. Two hundred seventy-five patients were included for final analysis. Combined detection methods made identification rate up to 74.2% (222/299), while 14.4% (43/299) when only using routine cultures and 40.8% (122/299) when not using mNGS. Influenza virus (23.2%, 46/198), S. pneumoniae (19.6%, 39/198), Enterobacteriaceae (14.6%, 29/198), Legionella pneumophila (12.6%, 25/198), Mycoplasma pneumoniae (11.1%, 22/198) were the top five common pathogens. The in-hospital mortality of patients with pathogen identified and unidentified was 21.7% (43/198) and 25.9% (20/77), respectively. In conclusion, early combined detection increased the pathogen identification rate and possibly benefitted survival. Influenza virus, S. pneumoniae, Enterobacteriaceae was the leading cause of SCAP in China, and there was a clear seasonal distribution pattern of influenza viruses. Physicians should be aware of the emergence of uncommon pathogens, including Chlamydia Psittaci and Leptospira.

Between-session reliability of electromyographic data is important for confidence in interpreting the role of muscles in functional tasks but critical if these data are to be compared before and after an intervention that seeks to change pathological patterns of muscle activity. The gluteus medius (GMed) and minimus (GMin) are known to have functionally discrete segments that are highly active during stance phase of gait and stepping tasks. This study measured the between-session reliability of activity patterns, mean amplitudes and time to peak (TTP) activity of these muscle segments. Intramuscular electrodes were placed in 3 segments of GMed and 2 segments of GMin in 10 healthy young adults for each of two testing sessions held two weeks apart. Participants completed six repetitions of comfortable speed walking trials, step-up and step-down tasks with activity patterns for each muscle segment time- and amplitude-normalized and averaged across trials. Re-test reliability for was high for activity patterns (coefficient of mean correlation ranging from 0.890 to 0.998) across all tasks and muscle segments and only two pairwise comparisons showing differences in amplitude between sessions. With standardized data collection and analysis procedures, GMed and GMin muscle segment activity patterns show good between-session reliability for weightbearing tasks.

description: © 2019, The Author(s). Purpose: This study aims at investigating prospective associations between body areas satisfaction (BAS), actual (objectively measured)–ideal body weight discrepancy, actual (self-reported)–ideal body weight discrepancy and BMI among adolescents from the general population. Methods: Data were collected at three measurement points: baseline (T1), 2-month follow-up (T2), 13-month follow-up (T3) among 1011 adolescents (59.3% girls) aged 13–19 years (M = 16.30, SD = 0.82) with BMIs ranging from 15.20 to 38.78 (M = 20.01, SD = 3.33). Adolescents completed questionnaires regarding BAS (T1), actual and ideal body weight (T2). Body weight and height were measured objectively (T1 and T3). Results: Adolescents satisfied with most areas of their bodies had lower levels of actual (objectively measured)–ideal body weight discrepancy, which in turn predicted higher BMI, while lower levels of actual (self-reported)–ideal body weight discrepancy predicted lower BMI. No moderating effect of gender was found. Conclusions: Actual–ideal weight discrepancies may operate in complex manner prompting opposite effects on BMI. Level of evidence: Level III, longitudinal study without control group.

description: A kidney stone, also known as a renal calculus (from the Latinrēnēs, "kidneys" and calculus, "pebble") is a solid concretion or crystal aggregation formed in the kidneys from dietary minerals in the urine. Urinary stones are typically classified by their location in the kidney (nephrolithiasis), ureter (ureterolithiasis), or bladder (cystolithiasis), or by their chemical composition (calcium-containing, struvite, uric acid, or other compounds). About 80% of those with kidney stones are men. Kidney stones typically leave the body by passage in the urine stream, and many stones are formed and passed without causing symptoms. If stones grow to sufficient size (usually at least 3 millimeters (0.12 in)) they can cause obstruction of the ureter. Ureteral obstruction causes postrenal azotemia and hydronephrosis (distension and dilation of the renal pelvis and calyces), as well as spasm of the ureter. This leads to pain, most commonly felt in the flank (the area between the ribs and hip), lower abdomen, and groin (a condition called renal colic). Renal colic can be associated with nausea, vomiting, fever, blood in the urine, pus in the urine, and painful urination. Renal colic typically comes in waves lasting 20 to 60 minutes, beginning in the flank or lower back and often radiating to the groin or genitals. The diagnosis of kidney stones is made on the basis of information obtained from the history, physical examination, urinalysis, and radiographic studies. Ultrasound examination and blood tests may also aid in the diagnosis.

description: © The Author(s) 2019. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Annals of Botany Company.
Backgrounds and Aims The rhizosphere priming effect (RPE) has been explained from the perspective of microbial responses to root exudates and nutrient availability. This study introduced a chemical process that could also contribute to RPE: root exudates (organic acid ligands) could liberate mineral-protected carbon (C) in soil for microbial degradation. • Methods Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) near-isogenic lines varying in citrate efflux were grown for 6 weeks in a C4 soil supplied with either low (10 μg g–1) or high P (40 μg g–1). Total below-ground CO2 was trapped and partitioned for determination of soil organic C decomposition and RPE using a stable isotopic tracing technique. Mineral dissolution was examined by incubating soil with citric ligand at a series of concentrations. • Key Results High P increased RPE (81 %), shoot (32 %) and root biomass (57 %), root-derived CO2-C (20 %), microbial biomass C (28 %) and N (100%), soil respiration (20 %) and concentrations of water-extractable P (30 %), Fe (43 %) and Al (190 %), but decreased inorganic N in the rhizosphere. Compared with Egret-Burke, wheat line Egret-Burke TaMATE1B with citrate efflux had lower inorganic N, microbial biomass C (16 %) and N (30 %) in the rhizosphere but greater RPE (18 %), shoot biomass (12 %) and root-derived CO2-C (low P 36 %, high P 13 %). Egret-Burke TaMATE1B also had higher concentrations of water-extractable P, Fe and Al in the rhizosphere, indicating the release of mineral-protected C. In addition, citrate ligand facilitated Fe and Al release from soil, with their concentrations rising with increasing ligand concentration and incubation time. • Conclusions While high P supply increased microbial growth and RPE possibly due to higher total root exudation, citrate efflux from the root might have facilitated the liberation of mineral-bound C, leading to the higher RPE under Egret-Burke TaMATE1B. Mineral dissolution may be an important process that regulates RPE and should be considered in future RPE research.

description: Data on real-life vaccine effectiveness (VE), against the delta variant (B.1.617.2) of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 among various coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine regimens are urgently needed to impede the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted a test-negative case-control study to assess the VE of various vaccine regimens for preventing COVID-19 during the period when the delta variant was the dominant causative virus (≥ 95%) in Thailand (25 July 2021–23 Oct 2021). All individuals (age ≥18 years) at-risk for COVID-19, presented for nasopharyngeal real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing, were prospectively enrolled and followed up for disease development. Vaccine effectiveness was estimated with adjustment for individual demographic and clinical characteristics. Of 3353 included individuals, there were 1118 cases and 2235 controls. The adjusted VE among persons receiving two-dose CoronaVac plus one BNT162b2 booster was highest (98%; 95% confidence interval [CI] 87–100), followed by those receiving two-dose CoronaVac plus one ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 booster (86%; 95% CI 74–93), two-dose ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (83%; 95% CI 70–90), one CoronaVac dose and one ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 dose (74%; 95% CI 43–88) and two-dose CoronaVac (60%; 95% CI 49–69). One dose of CoronaVac or ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 had a VE of less than 50%. Our study demonstrated the incremental VE with the increase in the number of vaccine doses received. The two-dose CoronaVac plus one BNT162b2 or ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 booster regimens was highly effective in preventing COVID-19 during the rise of delta variant.

description: In order to assess the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, transmission and reservoir development in swine, we combined results of an experimental and two observational studies. First, intranasal and intratracheal challenge of eight pigs did not result in infection, based on clinical signs and PCR on swab and lung tissue samples. Two serum samples returned a low positive result in virus neutralization, in line with findings in other infection experiments in pigs. Next, a retrospective observational study was performed in the Netherlands in the spring of 2020. Serum samples (N =417) obtained at slaughter from 17 farms located in a region with a high human case incidence in the first wave of the pandemic. Samples were tested with protein micro array, plaque reduction neutralization test and receptor-binding-domain ELISA. None of the serum samples was positive in all three assays, although six samples from one farm returned a low positive result in PRNT (titers 40–80). Therefore we conclude that serological evidence for large scale transmission was not observed. Finally, an outbreak of respiratory disease in pigs on one farm, coinciding with recent exposure to SARS-CoV-2 infected animal caretakers, was investigated. Tonsil swabs and paired serum samples were tested. No evidence for infection with SARS-CoV-2 was found. In conclusion, Although in both the experimental and the observational study few samples returned low antibody titer results in PRNT infection with SARS-CoV-2 was not confirmed. It was concluded that sporadic infections in the field cannot be excluded, but large-scale SARS-CoV-2 transmission among pigs is unlikely.
Six millennia and counting: a prehistoric 'persistent place' at Penpant, north Pembrokeshire

description: Fieldwalking and limited test-pitting around the head of a small tributary valley near the coast at Penpant, Solva, north Pembrokeshire, has amassed a collection of more than 28,000 lithic items. The typological composition of this material is summarised and, despite an absence of stratigraphy or absolute dating, is attributed to successive periods of activity from the Early Mesolithic (c. 8400 cal. BC) until the early Bronze Age (c. 2500 cal. BC). The collection is considered in relation to its wider regional context especially during the later Mesolithic when it is just one instance of a remarkable clustering of activity on or near the coast, a widespread phenomenon in Wales and elsewhere that has long provoked speculation. Whilst a detailed familiarity with such scatters at the surface is all very well the level of information obtained remains highly constrained a situation that will only change once well stratified deposits accompanied by appropriate levels of organic survival can be discovered, excavated and scientifically analysed.

description: In brain tissue of three harbor seals of the German North Sea Coast, high virus loads of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) H5N8 were detected. Identification of different virus variants indicates high exposure to HPAIV circulating in wild birds, but there is no evidence for H5 specific antibodies in healthy seals. Replication of avian viruses in seals may allow HPAIV to acquire mutations needed to adapt to mammalian hosts as shown by PB2 627 K variants detected in these cases.
