Abstract:

Este trabalho visou verificar a precisão de aplicativos de smartphone para medir indiretamente a altura de árvores e a distância entre o operador e a árvore. Como testemunha para medir altura, adotou-se o Hipsômetro Vertex IV (T0a) e, para distância, a variável medida com trena (T0b). Foram selecionadas 30 árvores isoladas do Campus da Universidade Federal do Paraná em Curitiba - PR e 30 árvores pertencentes à um plantio de Eucalyptus sp. na Fazenda Experimental Canguiri em Pinhais – PR. Foram 7 tratamentos testados para altura: Smart Measure (T1a), sMeasure (T2a), Distance meter (T3a), Hypsometer (T4a), 3D-Prumo (T5a), Height and Distance (T6a) e Tree-H (T7a). Foram 8 tratamentos para medir distância: Smart Measure (T1b), sMeasure (T2b), Distance meter (T3b), Hypsometer (T4b), 3D-Prumo (T5b), Height and Distance (T6b), Easy Measure (T7b) e Smart Distance (T8b). Avaliou-se a precisão dos aplicativos com o teste t de Student pareado com 5% de significância em relação às testemunhas e cálculo dos erros. Para altura em árvores isoladas, o tratamento T2a apresentou diferença estatística a probabilidade de 5%. O tratamento T6a obteve menor erro (2,48 m). No plantio de Eucalyptus sp., os tratamentos T1a, T6a e T7a apresentaram diferenças significativas e T3a obteve menor erro (2,99 m). Para a medição de distância em árvores isoladas, os tratamentos T4b e T6b não apresentaram diferença e T4b apresentou menor erro (2,28 m). No plantio, todos apresentaram diferença estatística. A incorporação de aplicativos para smartphones é alternativa para uso em inventários florestais para alturas. Para distâncias, deve-se ter cautela.

Abstract:

Jute is a bio-degradable, agro-renewable, and widely available lingo cellulosic fiber having high tensile strength and initial modulus, moisture regain, good sound, and heat insulation properties. For these unique properties and eco-friendly nature of jute fibers, jute-based products are now widely used in many sectors such as packaging, home textiles, agro textiles, build textiles, and so forth. The diversified applications of jute products create an excellent opportunity to mitigate the negative environmental effect of petroleum-based products. For producing the best quality jute products, the main prerequisite is to ensure the jute yarn quality that can be defined by the load at break (L.B), strain at break (S.B), tenacity at break (T.B), and tensile modulus (T.M). However, good quality yarn production by considering these parameters is quite difficult because these parameters follow a non-linear relationship. Therefore, it is essential to build up a model that can cover this entire inconsistent pattern and forecast the yarn quality accurately. That is why, in this study, a laboratory-based research work was performed to develop a fuzzy model to predict the quality of jute yarn considering L.B, S.B, T.B, and T.M as input parameters. For this purpose, 173 tex (5 lb/spindle) and 241 tex (7 lb/spindle) were produced, and then L.B, S.B, T.B and T.M values were measured. Using this measured value, a fuzzy model was developed to determine the optimum L.B, S.B, T.B, and T.M to produce the best quality jute yarn. In our proposed fuzzy model, for 173 tex and 241 tex yarn count, the mean relative error was found to be 1.46% (Triangular membership) and 1.48% (Gaussian membership), respectively, and the correlation coefficient was 0.93 for both triangular and gaussian membership function. This result validated the effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy model for an industrial application. The developed fuzzy model may help a spinner to produce the best quality jute yarn.

Abstract:

Helminth infections are among the neglected tropical diseases affecting billions of people globally, predominantly in developing countries. Helminths’ effects are augmented by coincident tuberculosis disease, which infects a third of the world’s population. The role of helminth infections on the pathogenesis and pathology of active tuberculosis (T.B.) remains controversial. Parasite-induced suppression of the efficacy of Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) has been widely reported in helminth-endemic areas worldwide. T.B. immune response is predominantly proinflammatory T-helper type 1 (Th1)-dependent. On the other hand, helminth infections induce an opposing anti-inflammatory Th2 and Th3 immune-regulatory response. This review summarizes the literature focusing on host immune response profiles during single-helminth, T.B. and dual infections. It also aims to necessitate investigations into the complexity of immunity in helminth/T.B. coinfected patients since the research data are limited and contradictory. Helminths overlap geographically with T.B., particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. Each disease elicits a response which may skew the immune responses. However, these effects are helminth species-dependent, where some parasites have no impact on the immune responses to concurrent T.B. The implications for the complex immunological interactions that occur during coinfection are highlighted to inform government treatment policies and encourage the development of high-efficacy T.B. vaccines in areas where helminths are prevalent.

Abstract:

Instant healing, performance of miracles, public exorcism, supply of blessed objects for protection, and prophetic abilities are major religious practices that account for the popularity of certain Pentecostal leaders in contemporary Africa. Prophet T.B. Joshua, a renowned Nigerian televangelist, is one of them. Through his Emmanueltvchannel, he informs ‘viewers all over the world’ that invisible but influential evil forces are responsible for their daily challenges and that people can enjoy prosperity when they are purged of malevolent spirits. This article describes the practices and narratives of liberation from unknown bondage by Cameroonians who draw inspiration from T.B. Joshua’s prophetic messages and displays. The aspects covered include the desire to embark on a pilgrimage to T.B. Joshua’s church in Nigeria and actors’ use of his blessed religious objects to neutralise, destroy, or fight off invisible evil forces suspected of halting their socioeconomic progress.

Abstract:

Abstract Procyclic culture form (PCF) trypanosomes were established from a bloodstream form population of cloned Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and were used to immunize mice for hybridoma production. Indirect immunofluorescence was used to select 10 hybridomas which secreted antibodies that bound to the surface of homologous living PCF. The antibodies reacted with PCF of several clones of T.b. brucei, T.b. gambiense, and T.b. rhodesiense, but not with PCF of T. congolense or T. vivax, or with promastigotes of several species of Leishmania parasites. The antigens were not detectable in ethanol/acetic acid-fixed bloodstream forms or in lysates of bloodstream forms of any of the T. brucei subspecies, and are thus species-specific and stage-specific markers. Selected monoclonal antibodies bound to procyclic trypanosomes taken directly from the midgut of infected tsetse flies, and to immature epimastigote forms in salivary probes, and may therefore be useful in epidemiologic investigations.

Abstract:

Background: One-third of the world’s population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Difference in clinical outcome of infection implies that host genetics may be implicated in such variability. Investigations of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) revealed new information regarding the immunopathogenesis of tuberculosis. Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) mediates crucial immune response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. There is argument that Toll-like receptor (TLR10) participate in tuberculosis susceptibility by acting as a signaling modulator for TLR2. Objectives: The aim of this study was investigating the relationship between TLR 10 SNP 720A/C (rs11096957) and increase susceptibility to tuberculosis. Methodology: Eighty patients with radiological, microbiological and clinical proven active pulmonary tuberculosis (T.B) were included in this study. (TLR10) polymorphisms and allele distributions were compared between these 80 patients and 70 healthy control subjects. Peripheral blood samples were taken from all patients and controls. Genotyping was accomplished by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Results: When we compare T.B cases with controls, a statistically significant association was observed between T.B susceptibility and SNP 720A/C (rs11096957) in (TLR10). Allele (A) was more frequent in tuberculous cases while allele (C) was more common in controls. It was reported that the AA genotype of (TLR10) SNP rs11096957 was considerably related to the increased risk of developing pulmonary T.B. Homozygosity (AA) has been associated with predisposition to disease by comparing cases to controls (P = 0.045; OR = 2.0; 95% C.I. = 1.0- 4.0). A/C heterozygosity was considerably different in tuberculous cases than in healthy controls with lower risk of developing tuberculosis (P = 0.044; OR = 0.5; 95% C.I. = 0.26 –0.98). Conclusion: TLR10 SNP rs11096957 polymorphism is a risk factor for tuberculosis infection.

Full text

Abstract:

Trypanosoma brucei brucei S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) decarboxylase was found to be relatively insensitive to activation by putrescine as compared with the mammalian enzyme, being stimulated by only 50% over a 10,000-fold range of putrescine concentrations. The enzyme was not stimulated by up to 10 mM-Mg2+. The Km for AdoMet was 30 microM, similar to that of other eukaryotic AdoMet decarboxylases. T.b. brucei AdoMet decarboxylase activity was apparently irreversibly inhibited in vitro by Berenil and reversibly by pentamidine and methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone). Berenil also inhibited trypanosomal AdoMet decarboxylase by 70% within 4 h after administration to infected rats and markedly increased the concentration of putrescine in trypanosomes that were exposed to the drug in vivo. Spermidine and spermine blocked the curative effect of Berenil on model mouse T.b. brucei infections. This effect of the polyamines was probably not due to reversal of Berenil's inhibitory effects on the AdoMet decarboxylase.

This article examines the performativity of public health warnings embedded in Fannie Hurst’s short story ‘T.B.’ (1915). The author outlines the manner in which Hurst uses the short form to reinforce her warnings about tuberculosis in New York in the early twentieth century. Particular focus is given to Hurst’s theatricality of style, engaging with the dramatic structure of the short form, the spectacle of illness and the political significance of embodiment. This is done within the context of reclaiming Hurst as a writer of importance both to the field of medical humanities and to the study of the short form.

Full text

Abstract:

Starches were extracted from chickpea (C.P.), corn (C.S.), Turkish bean (T.B.), sweet potato (S.P.S.), and wheat starches (W.S.). These starches exhibited different amylose contents. The extracted starches were annealed in excess water and in germinated sorghum extract (GSE) (1.0 g starch/9 mL water). The α-amylase concentration in the GSE was 5.0 mg/10 mL. Annealing was done at 40, 50, and 60 °C for 30 or 60 min. The pasting properties of annealed starches were studied using Rapid Visco-Analyzer (RVA), in addition to the swelling power. These starches exhibited diverse pasting properties as evidenced by increased peak viscosity with annealing, where native starches exhibited peak viscosity as: 2828, 2438, 1943, 2250, and 4601 cP for the C.P., C.S., T.B., W.S., and S.P.S., respectively, which increased to 3580, 2482, 2504, 2514, and 4787 cP, respectively. High amylose content did not play a major role on the pasting properties of the tested starches because sweet potato starch (S.P.S.) (22.4% amylose) exhibited the highest viscosity, whereas wheat starch (W.S.) (25% amylose) had the least. Therefore, the dual effects of granule structure and packing density, especially in the amorphous region, are determinant factors of the enzymatic digestion rate and product. Swelling power was found to be a valuable predictive tool of amylose content and pasting characteristics of the tested starches. The studied starches varied in their digestibility and displayed structural differences in the course of α-amylase digestion. Based on these findings, W.S. was designated the most susceptible among the starches and S.P.S. was the least. The most starch gel setback was observed for the legume starches, chickpeas, and Turkish beans (C.P. 2553 cP and T.B. 1172 cP). These results were discussed with regard to the underlying principles of swelling tests and pasting behavior of the tested starches. Therefore, GSE is an effortless economic technique that can be used for starch digestion (modification) at industrial scale.

Full text

Abstract:

IntroductionTrypanosoma brucei (T.b.) rhodesiense is the cause of the acute form of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) in eastern and southern African countries, including Malawi. For a long time, untreated HAT infections were believed to be 100% fatal. However, recent studies show that infection by T.b. rhodesiense can result in a wide range of clinical outcomes in its human host. Apart from other factors such as parasite diversity, cytokines have been strongly implicated to play a major role in the outcome of T.b. rhodesiense infections. In this study, we quantify the levels of three cytokines Interleukin-8 (IL-8), Tumor Necrotic Factor alpha (TNF-α) and Interleukin -10 (IL-10) in plasma amongst HAT cases (treated and untreated) and controls recruited during medical survey. MethodsTwo-hundred and thirty-three plasma samples (HAT cases and controls) from Rumphi, one of the endemic areas in Malawi were used. Blood collected was centrifuged, plasma extracted and stored in cryovials at -800 C until processing. Plasma cytokine concentration was measured using ELISA. ResultsPlasma samples for 233 individuals, 76 HAT cases and 157 controls were quantified. Among the cases, nine had their plasma collected before treatment (untreated) and the rest were treated before blood for plasma analysis was collected. Controls had significantly higher mean plasmatic levels of TNF-α (94.5 ±474.12 pg/ml) and IL-8 (2258.6 ±5227.4 pg/ml) than cases TNF-α (29.35±181.58 pg/ml) and IL-8 (1191.3±4236.09 pg/ml). Controls and cases had similar mean levels of IL-10 in plasma. Only IL-8 had statistically significant higher median levels in the untreated than treated HAT cases P=0.006.ConclusionOur data suggest that cytokines could be considered as biomarkers of HAT infection and treatment. Further studies with a larger cohort of cases and additional cytokines which are known to be associated with HAT infection outcomes will be required to evaluate these cytokines further.

Abstract:

Tumbuhan bungur (Lagerstroemia loudonii T.B.) termasuk dalam famili Lytrharceae. Famili Lythraceae telah diketahui memiliki aktivitas farmakologi sebagai antidiabetes, antiinflamasi, antimikroba, serta antiobesitas. Daun dan buah bungur (Lagerstroemia loudonii T.B.) memiliki aktivitas dalam menghambat alfa-glukosidase. Berdasarkan teori khemotaksonomi didalam tumbuhan, kemungkinan bagian lain dari tumbuhan bungur memiliki aktivitas dan kandungan kimia yang sama, sehingga dilakukan pengujian aktivitas penghambatan terhadap alfa-glukosidase pada bagian kulit batang bungur. Ekstraksi simplisia dilakukan dengan cara maserasi selama 24 jam menggunakan pelarut etanol 96%. Proses fraksinasi menggunakan cara Ekstraksi Cair-Cair (ECC) dengan pelarut n-heksana, etil asetat dan air. Pengujian aktivitas penghambatan alfa-glukosidase secara in vitro menggunakan metode kolorimetri dengan alat spektrofotometer UV-VIS pada panjang gelombang 400,4 nm dengan substrat p-nitrofenil-α-D-glukopiranosid (PNPG). Akarbose digunakan sebagai pembanding. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak, fraksi air, fraksi etil asetat dan fraksi n-heksana memiliki nilai IC50 berturut-turut sebesar 240,53±0,47 μg/ml, 186,111±1,02 μg/ml, 79,479±0,52 μg/ml dan 113,101±0,46 μg/ml. Nilai IC50 akarbose adalah sebesar 10,457±1,48 μg/ml. Ekstrak dan fraksi-fraksi (air,etil asetat dan n-heksana) kulit batang bungur mampu menghambat aktivitas enzim α-glukosidase. Aktivitas yang paling baik ditunjukan oleh fraksi etil asetat dengan nilai IC50 sebesar 79,479±0,52 μg/ml.  Bungur (Lagerstroemia loudonii T.B.) is included in the Family Lytrharceae. The Lythraceae has been known to have pharmacological activity as antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antiobesity. Leaves and fruits of bungur (Lagerstroemia loudonii T.B.) have activities to inhibit alpha-glucosidase. Based on the chemotaxonomy theory in plants, it is possible that other parts of the bungur plant have the same chemical activity and content, Hence the study to evalute the inhibitory activity against alpha-glucosidase was carried out on its bark stem.The extraction of dried powder material was carried out by maceration for 24 hours using 96% ethanol. The extract was fractionated by Liquid-Liquid Extraction (ECC) method with n-hexane, ethyl acetate and water. The In vitro study of alpha-glucosidase inhibition activity using a colorimetric method with a UV-VIS spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 400.4 nm with a p-nitrophenyl-α-D-glucopiranoside (PNPG) substrate was performed. Akarbose was used as a standard drug.The results showed that extract, water fraction, ethyl acetate fraction and n-hexane fraction showed IC50 values of 240.53 ± 0.47 μg / ml, 186.111 ± 1.02 μg / ml, 79.497 ± 0.52 μg/ ml and 113.101 ± 0.46 μg / ml, respectively. The IC50value of bungur was 10.457 ± 1.48 μg / ml. Extracts and fractions (water, ethyl acetate and n-hexane) of bark stem were able to inhibit the activity of α-glucosidase. Theethyl acetate fraction showed the strongestactivity with IC50 value of 79,479 ± 0.52 μg / ml

Abstract:

In the United States, racially diverse, homebound older adults have been among those most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. During times of disaster, persons impacted tend to turn to their faith to make sense of suffering. COVID-19 has been an unusual disaster, as physical distancing was required to keep those most susceptible safe. Due to the resulting social isolation and loneliness, suicidal behaviors and ideation (e.g., desire to die) have increased during the pandemic. Suicide desire is encapsulated by two states: thwarted belongingness (T.B., chronic loneliness and lack of reciprocal care) and perceived burdensomeness (P.B., belief that one is a burden to others and society) and has historically been inversely correlated with religiosity. Therefore, understanding how religious coping can contribute to the relationship between the impact of COVID-19 on T.B. and P.B. in homebound older adults is important in understanding their suicide risk. Our participants (ages 62–101) varied in suicidality. Increases in suicide desire over time were associated with higher levels of negative religious coping. Implications for treatment are provided, particularly the importance of fostering belongingness, buffering perceived burdensomeness with older adults, and promoting positive religious coping and support. Suggestions for future research are also provided.

Background: Now a days Tuberculosis is a major public health problem in the world. Number of deaths due to tuberculosis is highest among the infectious diseases. Methods: The cross sectional study was carried out from May 2008 to July 2008 in the different out patient departments of College of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital. A total of 500 patients belong to age > 15 years who visited various departments of College of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital were randomly selected for the present study. Interview technique was used to collect information on a pre-designed and pre-tested questionnaire. Results: Out of total patient’s interview, 59% and 41% were male and female respectively. Majority of the outpatients had heard about the Tuberculosis disease. 73.3% of the respondents opinioned that T.B. can be acquired by infection. Conclusion: The study population has satisfactory knowledge about the etiology and transmission of the disease. There was poor knowledge about proper disposal of sputum which is an important aspect in regard to transmission of disease. There is need of imparting knowledge to the people about proper disposal of sputum to reduce the spread of disease and mortality due to T.B DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/joim.v34i1.9120 Journal of Institute of Medicine, April, 2012; 34:1 33-36

Abstract:

BackgroundIn Central Africa, human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) or sleeping sickness is caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (T.b gambiense). Classically, the disease is characterised by an early haemolymphatic phase (stage 1) followed by a meningo-encephalitic phase (stage 2) leading to neurological disorders and death if left untreated. However, field observations suggest that infection by T.b gambiense may result in a great diversity of clinical outcomes ranging from rapid progressions into stage 2, to asymptomatic infections that can last for years or even spontaneous cure in the absence of treatment.The determinants of this clinical diversity are not known but might have their origin both in the parasite (genetic variability) and in the host (individual susceptibility to disease). This study in the Democratic Republic of the Congo aimed at examining the association between the rs73885319 polymorphism of the APOL1 gene and resistance/susceptibility to T. b gambiense. We genotyped the APOL1 gene polymorphism in a total of 257 people comprised of 90 patients, 119 endemic controls and 48 seropositives. The analysis of the results has not shown any significant differences between HAT patients, controls and seropositives. Our results seem to suggest that the G allele of the rs 73885319 polymorphism of the APOL1 gene is not associated to resistance or susceptibility to infection.

Abstract:

Gambiense human African trypanosomiasis (gHAT), also known as gambiense sleeping sickness, is a parasitic infection caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. During the last decades, gHAT incidence has been brought to an all-time low. Newly developed serological tools and drugs for its diagnosis and treatment put the WHO goal of interruption of transmission by 2030 within reach. However, further research is needed to efficiently adapt these new advances to new control strategies. We assessed the serological evolution of cured gHAT patients over a two-year period using four different tests: the rapid diagnostic test (RDT) HAT Sero K-SeT, ELISA/T.b. gambiense, Trypanosoma brucei gambiense inhibition ELISA (iELISA), and the immune trypanolysis test. High seropositive rates were observed in all the tests, although sero-reversion rates were different in each test: ELISA/T.b. gambiense was the test most likely to become negative two years after treatment, whereas RDT HAT Sero-K-SeT was the least likely. iELISA and trypanolysis showed intermediate and comparable probabilities to become negative. Stage 1 patients were also noted to be more likely to become negative than Stage 2 patients in all four serological tests. Our results confirm previous findings that trypanosome-specific antibody concentrations in blood may persist for up to two years, implying that HAT control programs should continue to take the history of past HAT episodes into consideration.

Abstract:

57 isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis were identified; they were isolated from different clinical sources which included sputum, bronchial wash, abscess, pleural fluid, gastric fluid, eye fluid, and CSF, also urine and ear swab. This investigation was carried out on 198 patient attended National Reference Laboratory for T.B during September 2009. Also the study declared that the ratio of separation of this bacterium from male was (67.6%) and itâ€™s higher than the ratio of separation this bacterium from females which was (32.3%). The susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to melatonin was evaluated. Many concentrations of melatonin were prepared to investigate it as antibacterial drug against multidrug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis. Suspension bacteria (10-1, 10-3 and 10-5) were cultured on Lowenstein-Jensen media (LJ) contains melatonin, while control media without this drug. Six isolates were chosen according to their susceptibility patterns; they were resisting to Rifampicin, Streptomycin, Isonicotinic â€“hydrazide and sensitive to Ethambutol. In conclusion, these in vitro studies clearly demonstrate anti-bacterial effects of melatonin. Among possible mechanisms, it is concluded that melatonin showed antibacterial effects against multidrug resistant T.B by reducing intracellular substrates. Identifying the mode of action could be of great help in developing and researching new anti-bacterial drugs. Key words: Antibacterial, Melatonin, Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Abstract:

The African trypanosome, Trypanosoma brucei , is a zoonotic parasite transmitted by tsetse flies. Two of the three subspecies, T. brucei gambiense and T.b. rhodesiense , cause sleeping sickness in humans whereas the third subspecies, T.b. brucei , is not infective to humans. We propose that the key to understanding genetic relationships within this species is the analysis of gene flow to determine the importance of genetic exchange within populations and the relatedness of populations. T.brucei parasites undergo genetic exchange when present in infections of mixed genotypes in tsetse flies in the laboratory, although this is not an obligatory process. Infections of mixed genotype are surprisingly common in field isolates from tsetse flies such that there is opportunity for genetic exchange to occur. Population genetic analyses, taking into account geographical and host species of origin, show that genetic exchange occurs sufficiently frequently in the field to be an important determinant of genetic diversity, except where particular clones have acquired the ability to infect humans. Thus, T. brucei populations have an ‘epidemic’ genetic structure, but the better-characterized human-infective populations have a ‘clonal’ structure. Remarkably, the ability to infect humans appears to have arisen on multiple occasions in different geographical locations in sub-Saharan Africa. Our data indicate that the classical subspecies terminology for T. brucei is genetically inappropriate. It is an implicit assumption in most infectious disease biology that when a zoonotic pathogen acquires the capability to infect humans, it does so once and then spreads through the human population from that single-source event. For at least one major pathogen in tropical medicine, T. brucei , this assumption is invalid.
