    Abstract Small island countries like Vanuatu are facing the brunt of climate change, sea level rise (SLR), tropical cyclones, and limited or declining access to freshwater. The Tagabe coastal aquifer in Port Vila (the capital of Vanuatu) shows the presence of salinity, indicating saltwater intrusion (SWI). This study aims to develop and evaluate effective SWI management strategies for Tagabe coastal aquifer. To manage SWI, the numerical simulation model for the study area was developed using the SEAWAT code. The flow model was developed using MODFLOW and the transport model was developed using MT3DMS. Whereby SEAWAT solved flow and transport equations simultaneously. The model was calibrated, and different scenarios were evaluated for the management of SWI. The SLR was also considered in the model simulations. The results indicated that increased population, pumping rates, and SLR affect the SWI rates. To manage the SWI, we introduced hydraulic barriers like barrier wells and injection wells which effectively managed SWI in Tagabe coastal aquifer. The results from this study are significantly important whereby, the water managers, site owners, and governing bodies can use the management strategies presented in this study to create policies and regulations for managing SWI rates in Port Vila. Additionally, the water industry, private businesses, and investors who wish to extract groundwater from the Tagabe can use this study as a reference for daily or yearly freshwater production rates without the risk of SWI.

    Abstract Objectives: Midodrine, an oral α-1-adrenergic receptor agonist, counters arterial hypovolemia and reduces complications in adult patients with cirrhosis. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of midodrine in preventing complications and improving survival in children with cirrhosis and ascites who are awaiting liver transplantation (LT).
    Methods: This open-label RCT conducted from January 2022 to May 2023 included children under 18 years with cirrhosis and ascites. Patients were randomized to receive either midodrine plus standard medical therapies (SMTs) or SMT alone. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of cirrhosis-related complications within 6 months.
    Results: Thirty-five subjects were enrolled and randomized. Patients in the midodrine arm had a lower incidence of new-onset acute kidney injury (AKI) compared with the SMT arm (11.1% vs. 41.2%). Patients in the midodrine arm showed a decline in serum creatinine and improvement in glomerular filtration rate, whereas no changes were observed in the SMT arm. There was a lower incidence of new-onset hyponatremia in the midodrine arm (20% vs. 56%). Midodrine led to reduction in plasma rennin activity (PRA) and improvement in systemic hemodynamics. There was no difference in the rate of resolution of ascites, recurrence of ascites, requirement of therapeutic paracentesis, cumulative albumin infusion requirement, episodes of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, and hepatic encephalopathy between the two arms.
    Conclusion: Midodrine, when added to SMT, was effective in reducing the incidence of new-onset AKI and hyponatremia in pediatric cirrhotics awaiting LT. It also improved systemic hemodynamics and showed a trend towards reducing PRA.

    Abstract Background: Reports of nutritional deficiencies in patients with thalassemia (Thal) are common. Despite its importance, however, nutritionally focused research in Thal has been limited by inadequate sample size, inconsistent methodology, a lack of control comparisons, and few interventional trials. Due to these limitations, clinicians lack evidence-based nutrition recommendations to support clinical decision-making. This systematic review summarizes observed relationships between nutrition and morbidity in Thal published in the last 3 decades.
    Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase were screened for articles pertaining to nutrition in Thal using comprehensive search terms. Studies performed in humans, written in English, and published between 1990 and 2020 were included. Over 2100 manuscripts were identified, from which 97 were included.
    Results: Patients with Thal were most often deficient in vitamins A, C, D, selenium, and zinc. Prevalence of nutritional deficiency was positively correlated with age and iron overload. Evidence to support the role of vitamin D and zinc for bone health was observed; zinc was also found to improve glucose metabolism.
    Conclusions: Due to the risk for multinutrient deficiency, nutritional status should be assessed annually in patients with Thal with prompt nutrient replacement when deficiency is detected. Routine supplementation with vitamin D and zinc is recommended.

    Abstract Background: Acne scarring is disfiguring and psychologically taxing on patients. Many energy-based modalities have emerged and been studied for the treatment of acne scarring; however, there is a paucity of these studies in skin phototypes IV-VI.
    Objective: To review the medical literature and discuss the most significant studies regarding safety and efficacy of energy-based devices (ablative lasers, non-ablative lasers, and radiofrequency microneedling) in the treatment of ethnic skin (skin phototypes IV-VI).
    Methods: A literature search was conducted using the PubMed database and bibliographies of relevant articles.
    Results: Ablative and non-ablative lasers have proven to be effective for treatment of acne scars in ethnic skin. The risk of developing adverse effects such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is contingent upon several factors including skin phototype, laser device, fluence, and moreso density settings. Non-ablative fractional lasers have been considered first line for the treatment of acne scars in skin of color due to their better safety profile; however, they are less efficacious and require more treatments compared to ablative lasers. Studies regarding efficacy and safety of radiofrequency microneedling for treatment of acne scarring in skin of color are limited, but are promising.
    Conclusion: Ablative lasers, non-ablative lasers, and radiofrequency microneedling are all useful treatments for acne scarring in ethnic skin when appropriate settings are used. Further head-to-head studies are needed to evaluate their efficacy and safety in darker skin phototypes V-VI.

    Abstract Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been proposed as a promising material for non-thermal chemical separations owing to their high structural diversity and tunability. Here, we report the synthesis of a zinc-based MOF containing a three-dimensional (3D) linker, bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1,4-dicarboxylic acid, with high thermal stability towards the separation of hexane isomers. The incorporation of the 3D linker enhances the structural stability and provides well-defined pore apertures/channels with sub-Ångstrom precision. This precision allowed for the separation of similarly sized hexane isomers based on subtle differences in their kinetic diameters. Multi-component liquid phase batch experiments confirmed the separation of hexanes mixture into linear, monobranched, and dibranched isomers. This work represents a significant milestone in the construction of stable Zn-based MOFs and the incorporation of 3D linkers as a potential solution to challenging separations.

    Abstract The current regime for leishmaniasis is associated with several adverse effects, expensive, parenteral treatment for longer periods and the emergence of drug resistance. To develop affordable and potent antileishmanial agents, a series of N-acyl and homodimeric aryl piperazines were synthesized with high purity, predicted druggable properties by in silico methods and investigated their antileishmanial activity. The in vitro biological activity of synthesized compounds against clinically validated intracellular amastigote and extracellular promastigote form of Leishmania donovani parasite showed eight compounds inhibited 50% amastigotes growth below 25 µM.

    Abstract Soft-tissue pseudotumors are a myriad group of clinically palpable masses that mimic soft-tissue tumors. These mimickers may be misinterpreted as malignant sarcomas despite appropriate clinical and radiological evaluation, resulting in unwarranted interventions and a diagnosis of a pseudotumors is achieved only after histopathological evaluation. A systematic approach is needed to achieve a definitive diagnosis or to limit the differential diagnosis by using imaging in conjunction with clinical history, physical examination, and anatomical location. The objective of this article is to provide an overview of the imaging features of some of the most common soft-tissue pseudotumors. Recognition of these pseudotumors is of paramount importance as no further investigation or intervention may be required in majority of the cases.
