How certainty appraisal might improve both body dissatisfaction and body overestimation in anorexia nervosa: a case report
Abstract
Background
Patients with anorexia nervosa often report a conscious alteration of body image representation, with both body overestimation and body dissatisfaction. Cognitive and behavioural therapy is effective for treating many psychiatric disorders but often fails to treat anorexia nervosa and body image distortions. Although patients are aware of their weight loss, they continue to feel overweight - as if there were a conflict between a previous (maybe already false) body representation and the new one. These distortions are linked to negative emotions focused on the body but which can extend to the self (e.g. disgust and sadness).
Case Presentation
The present case report is the first in which the Appraisal Tendency Framework has been applied to decrease body image distortions in a patient with anorexia nervosa. The Appraisal Tendency Framework is usually used to understand how emotions influence decision making. Here, we report on a 24-year-old woman who suffered from anorexia nervosa and body image distortions, and was treated as an inpatient with conventional cognitive and behavioural therapy for an eating disorder. Body image distortions were assessed before and after the patient completed an adaptation of the Iowa Gambling Task, coupled with the induction of a heuristic processing emotion. We hypothesized that allowing the patient to focus on the emotional cues in the modified Iowa Gambling Task would improve her decisions about her true body shape.
Conclusion
All body image measures were improved after the protocol. Consequently, we suggest that the Appraisal Tendency Framework might be a valuable means of investigating body image issues in eating disorders and anorexia nervosa. Further studies are required to expand and detail these findings.

Congenital absence of the deep inferior epigastric system: a case report
Abstract
Preoperative computerised tomographic angiography (CTA) in free flap breast reconstruction outlines the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP). It can identify a single or twin system, measure vessel calibre, and identify iatrogenic/congenital anatomical variations. Evidence of the effect of previous abdominal incisions on this vessel system remain inconclusive. We present the case of a congenital absence of the system identified from routine preoperative CTA. A 61-year-old female presented for immediate unilateral breast reconstruction following mastectomy for ductal carcinoma in situ. She previously had a right-sided Kocher's incision performed for an open cholecystectomy and a gridiron incision. Coincidentally, preoperative CTA demonstrated congenital absence of the left DIEP system, and marked atrophy of the upper right rectus abdominis (RA). As a result, the superior gluteal artery perforator (SGAP) flap was planned. Intraoperatively, a 1.318-kg SGAP was raised on three perforators and coupled to the internal mammary vessels. In the postoperative period, there were no complications. Preoperative CTA demonstrated multiple hazards in raising a DIEP flap, CTA permitted surgical planning, improving patient safety and surgical efficiency. Preoperative CTA identifies vessel abnormalities resulting from abdominal scarring. The rate of congenital anomalies is unknown. This incidental discovery highlights the role CTA has in reducing operative time, facilitating a successful free tissue transfer, therefore improving patient safety.

Risk assessment of some organic contaminants: a case study based on food consumption in Tanta and Ismailia cities, Egypt
Abstract
The impact of some organic pollutants on some residents of Tanta and Ismailia cities of Egypt through their consumption of vegetables, fruits and fish (Nile tilapia and catfish) was examined. Residues of organochlorine (OCS) and organophosphorus (OPS) as some polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBS) were compared with pesticides as well maximum residue limits (MRLS). Probable health risk to consumers was also assessed. P, P′-DDT, P, P′-DDE, P, P′-DDD, endrin, α-BHC, (lindane), and hexachlorbenzene (HCB) were the most detected organochlorine compounds, but did not exceed MRLs.
However, OPS residues were the most frequently detected contaminants. PCBs congeners 28, 70, 52, and 180 were detected in tilapia fish from Tanta, but congeners 28 and 180 were the only detected congeners in samples collected from Ismailia region. ∑PCBS values in all matrices did not exceed MRLS. Hazard index (HI) exhibited unity for all compounds at 50 the decreasing order: catfish > vegetables > fruits > Nile tilapia in Tanta, while in Ismailia the order was Nile tilapia > fruit > vegetables. Results also revealed that risk values for adults were greater than those of children categories.

Activation of peroxymonosulfate by Fe-N complexes embedded within SBA-15 for removal of organic contaminants via production of singlet oxygen
Abstract
Persulfates are recognized as promising oxidants and an alternative to Fenton reaction for water treatment. However, activation methods in hand restrict the practical application. Herein, we explore the possibility of Fe-N complexes being a catalyst for persulfate activation for the first time. The catalyst denoted as Fe-Im-SBA was synthesized from ferric chloride, imidazole, and SBA-15 at high temperature. The internal pore structure of Fe-Im-SBA was maintained well; Fe, N and C elements are evenly distributed on the catalyst. This catalyst presents an extraordinarily catalytic activity for Rh B removal by PMS activation with a removal rate of Rh B that reached up to 97.0% in the first 5 min. It also performed well in a wide pH range with complete removal of Rh B in pH ranged from 0.5 to 10, suggesting the stability of this catalyst in both acidic and alkaline conditions. It also showed high adaptability to degrade different kinds of pollutants, which could give an attractive advantage of Fe-Im-SBA for environmental implications. Through X-ray absorption spectroscopies analysis, it shows that the active sites of Fe-Im-SBA are composed of Fe-N4 sites and Fe2–N2 sites. 1O2 were proved to generate in the Fe-Im-SBA/PMS system and serve as the major ROS. Meanwhile, graphitic carbon can accelerate the transfer of electrons, which may also be the reason for its high catalytic performance.

Distribution of organic and inorganic mercury in the tissues and organs of fish from the southern Baltic Sea
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of total mercury (THg), methylmercury (CH3Hg+), and inorganic mercury (Hginorg) in the tissues and organs of fish depending on species, tissue, and organ, and their bioaccumulation in tissues and biomagnification throughout the trophic web. The study included four species of fish (herring, sprat, cod, and eel) from the southern Baltic Sea. The concentrations of the different forms of mercury were determined in tissues and internal organs. Intra-specific differences in levels of THg, CH3Hg+, and Hginorg in the tissues and organs were determined. Muscle contained the highest proportions of THg and CH3Hg+ in comparison to that in the internal organs. Differences in concentrations of THg, CH3Hg+, and Hginorg in the tissues and organs of fish were related to their preferred prey. The bioaccumulation of CH3Hg+ in the tissues and organs of predatory fish at the highest trophic levels was greater than in the liver and digestive tract of fish species at lower trophic levels, in which Hginorg predominated. The high concentrations of CH3Hg+ in eel and cod and the low levels in herring and sprat were linked with their food and the transfer of this element among species. The results suggested that the type of food, feeding habits, and trophic position were important parameters that influenced the transfer and biomagnification of mercury in fish.

Dietary propionic acid enhances antibacterial and immunomodulatory effects of oxytetracycline on Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus
Abstract
This study was carried out to evaluate the potential antibacterial and immunomodulatory effects of the dietary acidifier propionic acid (PA) when given alone or in combination with oxytetracycline (OTC) on Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Apparently healthy O. niloticus (n = 240; 52 ± 3.75 g) were randomly allocated into four equal groups (n = 60/group): control group fed a basal diet alone and the other three groups fed basal diets supplemented with either PA (200 mg /kg of diet, PA group) or OTC (500 mg/kg of diet, OTC group) alone or in combination (PA + OTC group). Each group was subdivided into two subgroups (n = 30/subgroup, each subgroup had triplicate of 10 fish); subgroup (A) was used to evaluate the antibacterial effects with the aforementioned 2 weeks feeding regime, and subgroup (B) was used to evaluate the immunomodulatory effects against Aeromonas hydrophila infection with similar 2 weeks feeding regime. Among the four groups, PA + OTC group showed the highest significant (p < 0.0001) antibacterial activity as indicated by widest inhibition zones against A. hydrophila and lowest total gastrointestinal bacterial counts. Additionally, this group had the best immunomodulatory effect as noticed by a significant (p < 0.05) increase in total serum protein, globulin, IgM, phagocytic activity and index, lysosome activity, and significant (p < 0.05) upregulation in the expression levels of immunity-related genes (MHC I, MHC IIA, MHC IIB, Tlr7, IgM heavy chain, TNFα, and IL1β) in head-kidney. Notably, the combined dietary PA and OTC improved the hematological parameters and reduced the oxidative damage of hepatopancreas and head-kidney induced by OTC. This data suggests dietary PA as potential adjuvant to OTC in O. niloticus diets to get maximal antibacterial and immunomodulatory effects.

The scratch collapse test: a systematic review
The diagnosis of nerve compression relies on collecting diagnostic clues from the history, physical exam, imaging, and diagnostic testing. There are several provocative tests to aide in the diagnosis of nerve compression. The 'Scratch Collapse Test' (SCT) has emerged as a new provocative test to assist in the localization of peripheral nerve compression. This study aims to perform a systematic review of the literature to assess the data on the reliability of the SCT as a diagnostic test for entrapment neuropathy.

Distances of root apices to adjacent anatomical structures in the anterior maxilla: an analysis using cone beam computed tomography
Abstract
Objectives
The aim was to assess the anatomical relationship of anterior maxillary teeth to the nasal floor in patients referred for apical surgery.
Materials and methods
Cone beam computed tomographic images (CBCT) of 83 patients were analysed retrospectively to quantify the distances between the root apices of maxillary anterior teeth (canine to canine) to the nasal floor or maxillary sinus (whichever was closer). Secondary outcome variables were the distances of the periapical lesion to the nasal floor, distances of the apices to the labial and palatal bone plates as well as to the neighbouring teeth.
Results
A total of 93 teeth (39 central, 35 lateral incisors and 19 canines) were analysed. The mean shortest distances of the apices to the nasal floor (or maxillary sinus) were 8.54 mm for central incisors, 9.49 mm for lateral incisors and 5.39 mm for the canines. The canines exhibited a significantly shorter distance to the nasal floor/maxillary sinus. In the presence of an osteolysis, the distance to the nasal floor was significantly shorter compared to the teeth without lesions. The lateral and central incisors showed significant proximity to each other at the level of the future surgical resection (3 mm from the apex).
Conclusions
A close proximity between apices and adjacent anatomical structures such as nasal floor, maxillary sinus or adjacent roots could be shown in some cases.
Clinical relevance
CBCT could be a valuable adjunctive imaging tool prior to apical surgery in the anterior maxilla to assess the risk for and decrease the incidence of damage to neighbouring anatomical structures such as the nasal floor, maxillary sinus or adjacent roots.

Stress distribution in mandibular donor site after harvesting bone grafts of various sizes from the ascending ramus of a dentate mandible by finite element analysis
Abstract
Purpose
Harvesting bone from the ascending ramus of the mandible is a common procedure. However, mandibular fracture may occur after grafting bone blocks. This study aimed to investigate the resulting force distribution of stress and strain in the mandibular donor site after harvesting bone grafts of different sizes and various loadings.
Methods
Finite element analysis was performed for virtual harvesting of bone blocks of nine different sizes between 15 × 20 and 25 × 30 mm and three different chewing loads (incisal, ipsilateral and contralateral). von Mises stress and first principal stress distributions were measured.
Results
von Mises stress was distributed between 35.01 (10 × 15 mm graft, incisal load) and 333.25 MPa (30 × 20 mm graft ipsilateral load), whereas first principal stress distributions were between 48.27 (10 × 15 mm graft, incisal load) and 414.69 MPa (30 × 20 mm graft ipsilateral load). In general, the least stress was observed with incisal load followed by ipsilateral load and finally contralateral load. The critical value of 133 MPa was found after removing almost all grafts with a width of 20 or 30 mm.
Conclusions
Incisal loading led to less stress compared with contralateral and ipsilateral loads. Increasing graft size led to increasing weakness of the donor site. Graft width exerted a greater influence on stress development than its height.
Clinical relevance
Ipsilateral chewing and increasing width of the bone graft result in maximum stress in the mandibular donor side, and critical values regarding to the possibility of fractures are already to expect from a graft size of 20 × 15 mm.

Summer fallow increases loss of residual nitrogen fertilizer in dryland of the Loess Plateau: a 15 N-labeled method
Abstract
Summer fallow is very common in dryland agriculture to conserve rainwater and replenish soil fertility. However, bare land and intensive rainfall during summer fallow might result in a potential risk of N loss. We used a 15N-labelling method to study the loss of residual N fertilizer during summer fallow and its use by next wheat in the Loess Plateau. Our study included three treatments: without the addition of N (N0W0), with the addition of 50 kg ha−1 N (NW0) and with the addition of 50 kg ha−1 N plus 35% more water (NW). The N fertilizer (K15NO3) in solution was injected into the soil at a depth of 35 cm of the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) columns in field. The fates of 15N were followed after summer fallow and in the next season's wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The summer fallow of this study was a dry summer; however, fertilizer 15N was still leached down to 40-cm depth for the NW0 treatment; and for the NW treatment, the peak of 15N fertilizer was approximately 20 cm deeper. After summer fallow, the loss of the initially applied 15N was 26% in the soil profile for the NW0 treatment; and for the NW treatment, it increased to 37%. Soil 15N abundance in 0–20 cm of the NW0 and NW treatments was higher than the N0W0 treatment, indicating the upward movement of 15N in summer fallow. After the next wheat harvest, 15N uptake by wheat in the NW treatment decreased from 21.0 to 18.6% compared to the NW0 treatment. High rainfall during summer fallow increased residual N loss during summer fallow but decreased its use by the next crop.

Effective reduction of metronidazole over the cryptomelane-type manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieve (K-OMS-2) catalyst: facile synthesis, experimental design and modeling, statistical analysis, and identification of by-products
Abstract
High concentrations of antibiotic compounds within pharmaceutical wastewater have hazardous impacts toward environment and human health. Therefore, there is an immediate requirement of efficient treatment method for removal of antibiotics from aquatic environment. In the present study, the cryptomelane catalyst-type manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieve (K-OMS-2) was synthesized in the presence of benzyl alcohol as a reducing agent and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as a structure-directing agent and then utilized to reduce the metronidazole. The central composite design method was the experimental design adopted. The FESEM analysis revealed that the K-OMS-2 surface contained many uniformly cylindrical aggregates less than about 40 nm in diameter and about 80–100 nm in length. Besides, a high specific surface area of 129 m2/g and average pore size of 45.47 nm were recorded. According to the TGA/DTA analysis, the prepared catalyst revealed high thermal stability. The maximum metronidazole degradation (95.36%) was evident at conditions of pH = 3, catalyst mass = 0.97 g/L, contact time = 200 min, and metronidazole concentration = 20 mg/L. Metronidazole did not form a complex with nitrate, fluoride, sulfate, or hardness. These ions exerted a negligible effect on metronidazole reduction using the K-OMS-2 catalyst, except for hardness, which reduced the removal efficiency of metronidazole by 17%. The FTIR and LC-MS revealed a complex mechanism involved in the metronidazole degradation by the K-OMS-2 involving the formation of an amino group, a hydroxyelated compound via N-denitration, and hydrogenation process on the K-OMS-2 catalyst surface.

Early plant growth and bacterial community in rhizoplane of wheat and flax exposed to silver and titanium dioxide nanoparticles
Abstract
Silver and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (AgNPs and TiO2NPs) are highly useful, but they are also a significant reason for concern as they exert toxicity. The goal of research was to assess the role of three kinds of NPs in concentrations of 100 mg L−1 on early growth plants (wheat, flax) and bacterial community in rhizoplane. Titanium (IV) oxide anatase (TiO2NPs1) and titanium (IV) oxide nanopowder (TiO2NPs2) are commercial products. A suspension of AgNPs was prepared via a procedure of reduction with tannic acid. The response of Monocot and Dicot growth form plants to the tested NPs was different. Germination and seedling growth of wheat treated with TiO2NPs1 was better. The response of flax to NPs was noted as an increase of chlorophyll content. The bacterial community in wheat rhizoplane was not significantly modified, but there was a declining trend. In turn, a difference in the surface charge of NPs had an influence on the total bacterial community in Dicot rhizoplane. Positively charged TiO2NPs2 significantly decreased the quantity of total bacteria in contrast to negatively charged AgNPs and TiO2NPs1 which increased it. A qualitative analysis did not confirm the influence of the surface charge of NPs on an increase/decrease in the quantity of Pseudomonas and Bacillus bacteria, but did show that there was no toxicity of the tested NPs to the plant growth-promoting bacteria community. The rhizoplane microbiome was dependent on the species of plant, and the bacteria found in the communities are sensitive to NPs to a varying degree.

Particulate matter air pollution and respiratory impact on humans and animals
Abstract
Air pollution is now fully acknowledged to be a public health problem and a social issue. Particulate matter (PM) concentration has been linked with several clinical manifestations of pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases and is associated with morbidity and mortality induced by respiratory diseases both in human and animals. Current research on airborne particle-induced health effects investigates the critical characteristics of particulate matter that determine their biological effects. Scientific evidence assessed that the size of the airborne particles and their surface area determine the potential to elicit inflammatory injury, oxidative damage, and other biological effects. Thus, the present review paper aims to summarize the current evidences and findings on the effect of air pollution on lung function in both humans and animals.

Antifungal efficacy of photodynamic therapy with TONS 504 for pathogenic filamentous fungi
Abstract
The pathogenic filamentous fungi Fusarium solani (F. solani) and Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus) are common causes of fungal keratitis. We have here evaluated the antifungal efficacy of photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) with the novel chlorin derivative TONS 504 and a light-emitting diode (LED) with a wavelength of 660 nm for these fungal species. Isolated fungal spores were irradiated at LED energies of 10, 20, or 30 J/cm2 in the presence of TONS 504 at concentrations of 1 or 10 mg/L. As a control, spores were exposed to TONS 504 or LED radiation alone. The treated spores were then cultured on potato dextrose agar plates at 25 °C for 3 to 4 days before determination of colony formation as a measure of viability. Fungal growth was inhibited in a manner dependent on both LED energy and TONS 504 concentration. The inhibitory effect on F. solani was complete with TONS 504 at a concentration of 1 mg/L and LED irradiation at 30 J/cm2 as well as at a TONS 504 concentration of 10 mg/L and LED irradiation at 10, 20, or 30 J/cm2. In contrast, that on A. fumigatus was only partial at a TONS 504 concentration of 10 mg/L and LED irradiation at 20 or 30 J/cm2. The antifungal effect of PACT on A. fumigatus was thus inferior to that on F. solani. PACT with TONS 504 and an LED thus warrants further evaluation with regard to its potential effectiveness for the treatment of infectious fungal keratitis.
