Urban landscapes provide unique environments for a wide variety of plants and animals, but their suitability may be limited by anthropogenic impacts such as pollution. We examined the potential utility of lichen and lichen-feeding moths as biodindicators of air pollution in Hong Kong by comparing carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stable isotope values in lichens, lichenivorous and non-lichenivorous moths (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) and a moth outgroup (Lepidoptera: Geometridae). Our results show that stable isotope values for C and N were similar for lichens and lichen feeding moths, while non-lichen feeding moths formed a distinct group. In addition, we found consistent δ 13 C and δ 15 N values across moth body parts, indicating that any portion of the specimen is suitable for isotopic fingerprinting. Our results highlight that lichen feeding moths may be useful for integrating signals of atmospheric nitrogen pollution and could therefore have utility in monitoring and quantifying air quality over time and space.
Appendicitis – Is a Clinical Diagnosis Enough?
Caren D’Souza,Supriya Pinto,Midhun Kumar 대한외상중환자외과학회 2023 Journal of Acute Care Surgery Vol.13 No.1
Appendicitis has always been considered a clinical diagnosis wherein the surgeon’s clinical acumen and laboratory investigations take priority over the radiological imaging. However, an atypical presentation of appendicitis can occur due to the varying location of the appendix which may result in delayed diagnosis and complications. In such cases radiological imaging such as contrast enhanced computerized tomography helps in the diagnosis. We report two cases of subhepatic appendicitis with different clinical findings.

Background: Supraglottic airways (SGA) are increasing used in pediatric anesthesia. Among SGA i-gelTM is commonly used device in pediatric patients. The BlockbusterTM laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is latest addition in pediatric airway armamentarium. This study was conducted to compare the clinical performance of i-gelTM and BlockbusterTM LMA in pediatric patients. Methods: A total of 140 children aged 1–5 years, who were undergoing elective surgery, were randomized into two groups either i-gelTM (Group I) or BlockbusterTM LMA (Group B). Airway was secured with appropriate-sized LMA according to group allocation under general anesthesia. The primary objective of study was oropharyngeal leak pressures (OPLP), and secondary objectives were number of attempts of device insertion, success rate, ease of LMA insertion, hemodynamic parameters, and postoperative pharyngolaryngeal morbidities. Results: The mean OPLP was significantly higher for i-gelTM compared to BlockbusterTM LMA (27.97 ± 1.65 vs. 26.04 ± 2.12; P < 0.000). The devices were successfully inserted on the first attempt in 97.14% and 90% of the i-gelTM group and BlockbusterTM LMA groups respectively. The insertion time, ease of insertion, hemodynamic parameters and postoperative complications were comparable between groups. Conclusions: The i-gelTM was more efficacious device in term of OPLP than BlockbusterTM LMA for positive pressure ventilation in pediatric patients undergoing short surgical procedures under general anesthesia.
Rationales and Evidence of Elastic Taping: A clinician’s per-spective
John Langendoen,Caren Fleish-man,Soon Hee Kim,Ho Jung An 국제물리치료학회 2016 Journal of International Academy of Physical Ther Vol.7 No.1
The purpose of this systematic review is to investigate the effects of tape application on improving body conditions. The search strategy for this review included a literature search by members of the International Kinematic Academy in 12 countries between January 2014 and February 2015 using PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane, Google Scholar, websites and national journals. The search words included“Kinesiotape, Kinesio tape, kinesiotaping, elastic taping, taping, functional taping, myofascial taping, sensomotor taping”. The review included all articles, even those published in different languages. These searches resulted in 821 publications. There are several effects of tape application were revealed such as improving blood circulation, lymphatic circulation, body range of motion, activation of mechanoreceptor and joint stability, and decreasing pain. No one negative about the positive effects of taping, however the more effort is required to find evidence of effects of tape application.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Medical students should be able to actively apply clinical reasoning skills to further their interpretative, diagnostic, and treatment skills in a non-obtrusive and scalable way. <I>Case-Based Learning</I> (CBL) approach has been receiving attention in medical education as it is a student-centered teaching methodology that exposes students to real-world scenarios that need to be solved using their reasoning skills and existing theoretical knowledge. In this paper, we propose an interactive CBL System, called iCBLS, which supports the development of collaborative clinical reasoning skills for medical students in an online environment. The iCBLS consists of three modules: (i) <I>system administration</I> (SA), (ii) <I>clinical case creation</I> (CCC) with an innovative semi-automatic approach, and (iii) <I>case formulation</I> (CF) through intervention of medical students’ and teachers’ knowledge. Two evaluations under the umbrella of the context/input/process/product (CIPP) model have been performed with a <I>Glycemia</I> study. The first focused on the system satisfaction, evaluated by 54 students. The latter aimed to evaluate the system effectiveness, simulated by 155 students. The results show a high success rate of 70% for students’ interaction, 76.4% for group learning, 72.8% for solo learning, and 74.6% for improved clinical skills.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> This study describes how to foster medical trainees’ collaborative learning skills with the support of online advanced learning technologies and real-world clinical cases. </LI> <LI> Designed and developed an <I>interactive Case-Based Learning System</I> (iCBLS) for practising clinical cases before and outside the class. </LI> <LI> The iCBLS supports an innovative method to create real-world clinical cases using a semi-automatic approach. </LI> <LI> Two types of evaluations under the umbrella of the CIPP model have been performed in heterogeneous environments with a <I>Glycemia</I> study. </LI> <LI> The iCBLS achieves a success rate of more than 70% for students’ interaction, group learning, solo learning, and improving clinical skills. </LI> </UL> </P>

<▼1><P>A root-knot nematode gene (<I>MiIDL1</I>) produces a peptide that mimics the Arabidopsis IDA signaling peptide that regulates cell separation events including abscission and lateral root emergence.</P></▼1><▼2><P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>INFLORESCENCE DEFICIENT IN ABSCISSION (IDA) is a signaling peptide that regulates cell separation in Arabidopsis including floral organ abscission and lateral root emergence. IDA is highly conserved in dicotyledonous flowering plant genomes. <I>IDA-like</I> sequences were also found in the genomic sequences of root-knot nematodes, <I>Meloidogyne</I> spp., which are globally deleterious pathogens of agriculturally important plants, but the role of these genes is unknown. Exogenous treatment of the Arabidopsis <I>ida</I> mutant with synthetic peptide identical to the <I>M. incognita</I> IDA-like 1 (MiIDL1) protein sequence minus its N-terminal signal peptide recovered both the abscission and root architecture defects. Constitutive expression of the full-length <I>MiIDL1</I> open reading frame in the <I>ida</I> mutant substantially recovered the delayed floral organ abscission phenotype whereas transformants expressing a construct missing the MiIDL1 signal peptide retained the delayed abscission phenotype. Importantly, wild-type Arabidopsis plants harboring an <I>MiIDL1</I>-RNAi construct and infected with nematodes had approximately 40% fewer galls per root than control plants. Thus, the <I>MiIDL1</I> gene produces a functional IDA mimic that appears to play a role in successful gall development on Arabidopsis roots.</P></▼2>
