Though nickel(II) ions are an essential trace element and part of many biomolecules, the EPR properties are least understood. N-Ethylmaleimide Herein, the EPR and optical absorption spectra measured at 300 K for Ni(II) ions diluted in two different diamagnetic hosts are investigated and reported. The EPR spectrum of a polycrystalline Ni/Mg(3-methylpyrazole)6 (ClO4 )2 [Ni/MMPC] shows two transitions at X-band frequency (~9.5 GHz), suggesting the zero-field splitting parameter (D) is larger than the resonance field of the free electron (Ho ). This incomplete and complex spectrum is successfully analyzed to obtain EPR parameters. The EPR spectrum of the polycrystalline Ni/Zn(pyrazole)6 (NO3 )2 [Ni/ZPN] shows a triplet spectrum indicating D less then Ho . A detailed analysis of single-crystal EPR data yielded the spin Hamiltonian parameters. The optical absorption spectra are deconvoluted to understand the symmetry of the coordination environment in the complex.Health systems were abruptly plunged into a crisis as SARS-CoV-2 exploded into a pandemic in spring 2020. In March-April 2020, Metropolitan Detroit was a US "hotspot." As a large health system with five hospitals and two behavioural health inpatient facilities, a health insurance company, a medical group and physician network, and 41 ambulatory clinics normally hosting over 10,000 daily patient encounters, the Henry Ford Health System deployed numerous strategies in the management of this upheaval. As hospitals and Emergency Departments were inundated with COVID-19 patients, other services and activities needed to shut down as state-mandated policies were promulgated, new internal and external communication networks established, and management of employees and resources such as ventilators, ICU beds, personal protective equipment, and laboratory supplies became critical challenges. We describe herein the system-wide strategies implemented and lessons learned in the operation of a health system in the initial throes of a global pandemic.Sendai virus (SeV) accessory protein C limits the generation of double-stranded RNAs, defective interfering RNAs, or both, during viral transcription and replication, thereby limiting interferon-β production. Our recent in vitro analyses on murine macrophage cell lines demonstrated that this protein also contributes to restricting macrophage function, including the production of nitric oxide (NO) and inflammatory cytokines in addition to interferon-β, in infected macrophages. This study showed that depletion of airway macrophages by clodronate-loaded liposomes led to the development of severe viral pneumonia in recombinant C gene-knockout SeV (SeV∆C)-infected mice, but did not modulate disease severity in wild-type SeV-infected mice. Furthermore, the severe disease observed in macrophage-depleted, SeV∆C-infected mice was associated with exacerbated virus replication in the lungs, leading to severe airway inflammation and pulmonary edema, indicating lung injury. These results suggested that the antimacrophage activity of SeV C protein might play a critical role in modulating lung injury and associated diseases caused by SeV.The COVID-19 pandemic struck the world unawares. The virus is now spreading as never before, despite the initial progress recorded by several countries towards kerbing the pandemic. As the pandemic continues to spread across Africa, there is a need for countries in the continent to re-evaluate, re-strategise, and re-invigorate their COVID-19 responses and efforts based on lessons from the first wave, and Nigeria is no exception. Before the second wave was officially announced by the health authorities on 17 December 2020, there were 78,434 confirmed cases and 1221 deaths reported with a case fatality rate (CFR) of 1.6%. To ensure that Nigeria achieves total pandemic control and reacts better given the possibility of a second wave, we propose workable recommendations to strengthen our preparedness and readiness efforts. Here, we argue that lessons learnt from the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic can help Nigeria better react to the second wave.
During isotretinoin treatment, special attention is required to detect any symptom or change in the mental health of patients. The monitoring is complex for adolescents because of confounding factors such as mood changes associated with adolescence and puberty and the higher psychosocial impairment due to the acne itself.

To determine the utility of the Adolescent Depression Rating Scale (ADRS) for monitoring symptoms in adolescents before and during isotretinoin treatment in dermatology real-life practice.

This was a national, multicentre prospective study that enrolled a random sample of dermatologists treating adolescents. An algorithm including ADRS score and its changes between consecutive visits was used. At each visit, dermatologists rated their satisfaction with ADRS and its ease of use, while patients rated the acceptability of the ADRS.

In total, 70 dermatologists used the algorithm for 1227 visits of 283 adolescents receiving isotretinoin. Of these 70 dermatologists, 80.8% were satisfied/very satisfied with the ADRS, 82.7% considered the use of the ADRS in clinical practice to be easy/very easy and 75% considered that the ADRS enabled them to discuss more easily the risk of depression with their patients. For the patients, acceptability of the ADRS was considered good by 93.8%.

The implementation of the ADRS could be valuable in dermatology practice, optimizing the monitoring of patients and the good use of isotretinoin.

The aim was to assess the oral health status, prosthetic needs and the associated factors among older adults living in Khartoum State, Sudan.

Understanding the extent of the oral health problems and the associated factors in the older population is important for the determination of treatment needs and future planning of dental services.

A cross-sectional study among individuals ≥60years attending Health Care Centers. Two calibrated examiners examined participants according to the WHO oral health examination form for adults. DMFT, periodontal conditions, oral mucosal lesions, tooth wear, prosthetic status and prosthetic needs were reported. Risk indicators investigated include age, gender, socioeconomic status, general health, oral hygiene practices, tobacco use and utilisation for dental services.

Two hundred forty-nine older adults participated in the study, and 64.3% were males. The mean age was 68.4 years (SD ±6.7). The mean DMFT was 15.9 (SD ±9.1), with 85.3%, 94.8% and 19.3% of the participants having decayed, missing or filled teeth respectively. Periodontal pockets were present in 41.9%, mucosal lesions in 14.9% and tooth wear in 46.2% of the participants. Although only 5.2% were completely edentulous, 93.2% need prosthetic replacement. Risk indicators for poor oral health were being female, oral hygiene practices, frequency and reason of dental visits.

Old adults showed a high experience of missing and decayed teeth, periodontal inflammation and prosthetic treatment needs. Future oral health policies need to consider the different needs between men and women, exposure to risk factors and barriers to access dental care.

Develop models to predict outcomes after intradetrusor injection of 100 or 200 units of onabotulinumtoxinA in women with non-neurogenic urgency urinary incontinence (UUI).

Models were developed using 307 women from two randomized trials assessing efficacy of onabotulinumtoxinA for non-neurogenic UUI. Cox, linear and logistic regression models were fit using (1) time to recurrence over 12 months, (2) change from baseline daily UUI episodes (UUIE) at 6 months, and (3) need for self-catheterization over 6 months. Model discrimination of Cox and logistic regression models was calculated using c-index. Mean absolute error determined accuracy of the linear model. Calibration was demonstrated using calibration curves. All models were internally validated using bootstrapping.

Median time to recurrence was 6 (interquartile range [IQR] 2-12) months. Increasing age, 200 units of onabotulinumtoxinA, higher body mass index (BMI) and baseline UUIE were associated with decreased time to recurrence. The c-index was 0.6mes after onabotulinumtoxinA for non-neurogenic UUI in women.
International medical graduates (IMGs) represent a large portion of practising doctors in many countries. Many experience difficulties, including higher rates of complaints against them and lower exam pass rates. The UK's General Medical Council (GMC) recently set targets to 'eliminate disproportionate complaints' and 'eradicate disadvantage and discrimination in medical education'. Our timely meta-ethnography aimed to synthesise existing qualitative literature on the wider personal and professional experiences of IMGs to identify factors affecting IMGs' professional practice (either directly or indirectly).

In September 2019, we systematically searched Medline, Embase, Cochrane, PsycINFO, ERIC and EdResearch for peer-reviewed qualitative and mixed-methods articles that described experiences of IMGs. We extracted participant quotes and authors' themes from included articles and used the technique of meta-ethnography to synthesise the data and develop new overarching concepts.

Of the 1613 articles identig to support IMGs and meet the GMC targets.
This meta-ethnography, based on a large amount of diverse qualitative studies, is the first to provide a comprehensive picture of the experiences and challenges that IMGs face before and after migration. Our results should be used to guide the development of interventions aiming to support IMGs and meet the GMC targets.Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), a plant DNA virus of the genus Begomovirus, is transmitted by whiteflies of the Bemisia tabaci species complex in a persistent manner. Our previous study indicated that activation of the apoptosis pathway in whiteflies could facilitate TYLCV accumulation and transmission. Considering that temperature change can influence the spread of insect-borne plant viruses, we focused on plant virus induced-apoptosis to investigate the underlying mechanism of temperature regulation on plant virus transmission via an insect vector. We found that heat stress (40°C) on whiteflies could facilitate TYLCV accumulation and increase transmission to tomato plants. Despite upregulation of caspase-1 and caspase-3 gene expression, heat stress failed to induce an increase in the activation of cleaved caspase-3 and DNA fragmentation in TYLCV-infected whiteflies. However, our data failed to determine the role of heat stress in apoptosis modulation of insect-plant virus interplay while still providing clues to understand insect vectors and their transmitted plant viruses.
