The current study looked at the variables affecting the frequency of Cryptosporidium Parvum in buffalo calves at the Hyderabad Cattle Colony. From calves, 100 fecal samples were taken in total, preserved, and analyzed using direct smear and Ziehl-Neelsen staining methods. 74 percent of the samples tested positive for Cryptosporidium Parvum. Disease rates were higher in Nili Ravi calves (86 %) compared to Kundhi calves (62 %), with a statistically significant difference (p

Review On Biological Management Of Bactrocera Zonata Through Pathogenic Activity Of Beauveria Bassiana, Sana Ullah, Hafiz Muhammad Sajid Ali, Syed Husnain Kumail Naqvi, Muhammad Ziaullah, Farhan Ali, Sana Sarfaraz, Mamoona Kanwal

Journal of Bioresource Management

Bactrocera zonata is the destructive pest of peach, mango, and banana by causing significant economic losses. It reduces fruit quality which directly causes decline in export of these economical fruits. Many management strategies were carried to suppress the population of this invasive pest. The use of chemical insecticides in the orchard for control of B. zonata is restricted because insecticides cause several complications in fruit health and makes fruits unfit for human consumption. Due these drawbacks of chemical control, Biological control strategies are preferred for better management of B. zonata. Entomopathogenic fungi are potential bio-control agent against many insect …

Identification Of Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitors In Single-Clove Black Garlic Using Metabolomics And Molecular Docking Approaches, Abdul Aziz Setiawan, Shirly Kumala, Dian Ratih Laksmitawati, Ari Yuniarto, Nancy Dewi Yuliana

Makara Journal of Science

Black garlic is produced through controlled fermentation under specific temperature and humidity conditions, during which the Maillard reaction enhances its sensory properties and bioactivity. The anti-hyperuricemic potential of single-clove black garlic (SBG) remains unexplored. This study combined Ultra High-Performance Liquid Chromatography–High Resolution Mass Spectrometry-based metabolomics and an in-silico approach to identify the potential xanthine oxidase inhibitors (XOI) in SBG. Methanolic extracts (10 ppm) exhibited xanthine oxidase inhibition ranging from 50.09% to 68.01%, which is comparable to allopurinol (78.74%) at the same concentration. Metabolomic profiling tentatively identified 45 compounds, and orthogonal partial least squares analysis revealed seven metabolites as strongly correlated …

Video Discharge Instructions Increase Patient Understanding For Office-Based Procedures: A Randomized Controlled Study, Jenna Bates Maffei, Jeffrey J Song, Gal Saffati, Mohit Khera

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Background: Health literacy significantly influences healthcare outcomes, with poor literacy leading to worse quality of life, increased mortality, and higher readmission rates. Recent efforts to improve post-encounter education include structured teach-back methods, patient preference assessments, and standardized discharge instructions. Studies in emergency departments have shown that incorporating video discharge instructions enhances patient understanding and retention of care information. To address the gap in urology, this study aims to evaluate patient comprehension and satisfaction with video discharge instructions following clinic-based vasectomy procedures.

Methods: We performed an Institutional Review Board approved (#H-51614) unblinded randomized controlled study with written consent from each participant. …

Data included sociodemographics, WIC experiences, service awareness, 20 and satisfaction ratings (customer service, appointment duration, overall satisfaction) on a 3- item Likert scale. Ordered logistic regression identified predictors of satisfaction. Results: The mean caregiver age was 30 years; …

Impact Of Using The Multi-Ethnic Global Lung Initiative As A Spirometry Reference Equation: Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study In Egyptians, Mohamed Gs. El-Shiekh

Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research

Context: Spirometry interpretation is largely affected by the reference equation. European Coal and Steel Community/European Respiratory Society reference equation 93 (ECSC-ERS93) is widely used in Egypt, despite the endorsement of multiethnic global lung initiative equation (GLI-2012) by many international societies as a reference. Aim: We aimed to investigate the interpretive impact of shifting from ECSC-ERS93 to GLI-2012 among Egyptians. Methods: Acceptable pre-bronchodilator spirometry tests for Egyptian subjects, obtained between January 2022 and July 2024 were included, excluding those with age and anthropometric limits of ECSC-ERS 93 equation. Interpretation of spirometric results (normal, preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm), spirometric obstruction, spirometric …

Fratelli Tutti And Social Media: Solidarity And Social Networks Among Locals And Urban Refugees In Kampala, Uganda, Augustine Bahemuka

The Journal of Social Encounters

Fratelli Tutti, Pope Francis’ social encyclical, exhorts all Christians and people of good will to cultivate a spirit of fraternity and solidarity with all people in need, regardless of socio-cultural or creedal or racial differences. He challenges us to broaden our perception of “neighbour” to even include those people whose plight we encounter via social media – our digital neighbours. This paper shows how the Association of Refugee Women in Uganda (AORW- U) has used social media to amplify the voices of urban refugees living in Kampala, thereby raising public awareness; attracting global and local partnerships; and creating healthy social …

Why Here, Why Now: The Genesis Of A Native American Business Journal, Daniel Stewart

Indigenous Business & Public Administration

IBAPA is the culmination of a decades-long journey in which there has been much progress in the development of Native American economies, but still rather modest progress in the development of Native American academic theory in the fields of business and public administration. There are multiple reasons why academic progress has been sluggish. One of the primary reasons is the lack of business professors who publish research about our community. This journal seeks to address this problem straight on. The editorial provides background on our purpose.

Breakfast In Schools: Literature Review, Hannah C. Posey

Master of Nutrition and Dietetics

Breakfast is recommended as part of a healthy diet because it is associated with healthier macro and micronutrient intakes, BMI, and lifestyle. Breakfast is also widely promoted to improve cognitive function and academic performance (Hoyland et al., 2009). Yet, according to Hayes and FitzSimons (2024) in the 2021-2022 school year, 51.9 out of every 100 students picked up breakfast, while in the 2022-2023 school year that decreased to 50.9 out of every 100 students. That is a decrease of 1.2 million children for the school year not receiving school breakfast that had the year prior. Hearst et al. (2017) discovered …

Understanding The Interplay Between Nutritional Status And Depression Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults, Mary R. Goldsworthy

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

By the year 2050, it is projected that the population of individuals aged 60 years and older will increase by 47 percent, reaching a total of 82 million in the United States. Many older adults experience depressive symptoms, and some never recover from it. Depression is one of the most common psychiatric disorders among older adults. Approximately 3.2% of community-dwelling older adults experience major depressive disorder in a 12-month period, although many more experience clinically significant depressive symptoms, with a recent estimate of 35% based on a global meta-analysis. In addition to physical functioning and depressive symptoms, another domain in …
