Abstract: ... of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Udgir (M.S.). Total eighteen transition (3 weeks-prepartum) Deoni cows ...

Abstract	The present study was undertaken to determine the physiological status in pre-partum stage of transition Deoni cows. Animals were screened and selected on the basis of artificial insemination and pregnancy records maintained at the Instructional Livestock Farm Complex (ILFC) and Sub centre, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Udgir (M.S.). Total eighteen transition (3 weeks-prepartum) Deoni cows, of between eight to twelve years of age, were selected for the study and maintained on similar management practices. Biochemical variables including calcium, phosphorus, Ca:P ratio, magnesium, glucose, total protein, albumin, globulin, A/G ration, urea, creatinine, total bilirubin were estimated in pre-partum transition Deoni cows and were compared with healthy non-pregnant control. The haematological indices like white blood cells (WBC), lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, red blood cells (RBC), were determined and compared with healthy non pregnant control. Result of study revealed that mineral status such as serum calcium and phosphorus was significantly (P<0.01) reduced in prepartum transition animals when compared to the healthy non pregnant (control) group. Energy status in terms of blood glucose level was significantly (P<0.01) reduced in prepartum transition animal as compared to control. It was concluded that there may be a metabolic shift in the level of haematobiochemical parameters in the transient period of Deoni cows. Therefore, henceforth in the ration of transition (pre-partum) Deoni cows, inclusion of soluble carbohydrates and mineral mixture would be beneficial in preventing the development of negative energy balance (NEB).

Abstract	Objective: To assess if the unprecedented changes in lifestyle because of the lockdown initiated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which altered human behavior, and influenced purchase and consumption patterns, may have had an impact on the exposure to phthalates in Indian women undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI). To evaluate if the effects of the strict and lengthy lockdown in India, which promoted the new norms of stay-at-home and work-from-home, closure of beauty parlors, and restriction on public gatherings, may have contributed to a decrease in the exposure to phthalates like dibutyl phthalate and diethyl phthalate. These chemicals are found in many personal care products (PCPs) which include cosmetics and fragrances. To investigate if the extensive use of flexible single-use plastic in personal protective equipment like face masks/gloves and in plastic packaging used for online purchases, food takeaways, and home deliveries of essentials and groceries during the COVID-19 pandemic, in an attempt to provide a contact-free delivery system may have inadvertently led to an increase in exposure to phthalates like di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, di-isononyl phthalate, and di-isodecyl phthalate which are plasticizers used in manufacturing flexible plastic. Design: A comparative study of the levels of six phthalate metabolites detected in follicular fluid (FF) of Indian women undergoing IVF/ICSI 1 year before and immediately after the lockdown initiated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Setting: In vitro fertilization center in a large referral hospital in India. Patient(s): A total of 176 Indian women seeking treatment for infertility and undergoing oocyte retrieval were included after obtaining consent. Each woman contributed one FF sample to the study. Group A (n = 96) women (mean age, 34.0 [±3.9] years, and mean BMI, 25.4 [±4.8]) had their FF samples collected and screened between January 2019 and mid-March 2020, 1 year before the lockdown. Group B (n = 80) women (mean age, 33.9 [±4.1] years, and mean BMI, 25.0 [±4.4]) had their FF collected and screened post the lockdown between October 2020 and June 2021. Both groups were matched by age and BMI. Intervention(s): The cryopreserved FF samples of 176 women were processed using enzymatic deconjugation as well as the solid-phase extraction technique, and analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to detect the total levels of six phthalate metabolites. Main outcome measure(s): To evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on the change in the phthalate metabolite levels in the FF of Indian women undergoing IVF/ICSI pre and post the lockdown. Result(s): The median levels of mono-n-butyl phthalate (1.64 ng/ml in group A vs. 0.93 ng/ml in group B; P<.001) and mono-ethyl phthalate (5.25 ng/ml in group A vs. 3.24 ng/ml in group B; P<.001) metabolites of dibutyl phthalate and diethyl phthalate found in PCPs including cosmetics and fragrances were significantly higher in the FF of 96 women (group A) compared with the levels seen in the FF of 80 women (group B). However, the median levels of mono-isononyl phthalate (0.11ng/ml in group A vs. 0.13 ng/ml in group B; P<.001), mono-isodecyl phthalate (0.11 ng/ml in group A vs. 0.14 ng/ml in group B; P<.001), and mono(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate (0.13 ng/ml in group A vs. 0.14 ng/ml in group B; P=.023) metabolites of di-isononyl phthalate, di-isodecyl phthalate, and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate used as plasticizers were significantly higher in the FF of women in group B compared with women in group A. Conclusion(s): The significant drop in mono-n-butyl phthalate and mono-ethyl phthalate levels, accumulated in the FF of 80 Indian women in group B reflects a decrease or absence of usage patterns of PCPs, including cosmetics and fragrances, thereby suggesting that these women may have deprioritized their use during the COVID-19 pandemic giving preference to personal hygiene and safety. Whereas the unprecedented increase in the use of flexible single-use plastic that became our first line of defense against the coronavirus during the COVID-19 pandemic might be responsible for the accumulation of significantly higher levels of mono-isononyl phthalate, mono-isodecyl phthalate, and mono(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate in FF of the same group.

Abstract	Seizure frequency, medical and psychiatric morbidities, number and nature of antiepileptic drugs, and medication side effects have been correlated with decreased HRQOL scores in patients with epilepsy. Quality of Life in Epilepsy-31 patient inventory was translated and validated in two regional languages and administered to 80 patients with epilepsy who were on first-line antiepileptic drugs and classified as responders and nonresponders. The outcomes were measured based on 7 domains, such as seizure worry, overall QOL, emotional well-being, and energy/fatigue and based on the overall score of the scale. For both translations, Cronbach's alpha (coefficient) was greater than 0.70 [except for the seizure worry scale (0.69) in the Hindi questionnaire]. There was statistical difference (p<0.0001) of HRQOL scores between responders and nonresponders of epilepsy. The HRQOL score was lower in nonresponders. The most affected domain was emotional well-being in both groups, and the least affected domains were energy/fatigue in responders and medication effect in nonresponders.

Abstract	Bioenergy generated from plants is one of the best potential energy supplies. Recently, the non-edible Jatropha curcas has been considered one of the world’s most sustainable biofuel crops. Protein rich defatted Jatropha curcas kernel meal (DJKM) is toxic which contains phorbol esters (PEs, 1307 μg g⁻¹) as a major toxic component, therefore it was detoxified through physical, chemical and solid-state fermentation treatments. Water soaking and moist heat treatment (autoclaving) had no significant effect on the PEs removal compared to control. Exposure of DJKM to electron beam radiation (2.5, 5, 10, 15 and 20 kGy) had a significant effect on PEs degradation and most efficient was at 25 kGy dose. Solvent extraction with either 90% methanol or 80% ethanol in combination with moist heat treatment was the most efficient method compared to other concentrations of methanol or ethanol. Solvent extraction of kernel meal through 0.2 or 0.3 M NaOH in 90% methanol and 0.1, 0.2 or 0.3 M NaOH in 80% ethanol, followed by moist heat treatment led to the removal of PEs completely. The PEs content in DJKM through highly alkaline methanol plus moist heat treatment (AM3.0) and ferric chloride & hydrogen peroxide plus moist heat treatments significantly (p< 0.05) decreased to 13.0 and 53.6 μg g⁻¹, respectively. Non-alkaline solvent extraction of DJKM using either 90% methanol (M90H) or 80% ethanol (E80H) in addition to heating while magnetic stirring reduced PEs content significantly (p< 0.05) compared to control exhibiting 99.77 and 99.32% removal, respectively. The DJKM was free of PEs when it was treated via solid-state fermentation through Aspergillus niger fungus. Conclusively, chemical detoxification treatments are cumbersome, un-economical, and their incorporation in the diet may affect animal performance, whereas, the fermentation approach is cost economical, environmentally sustainable and offers greater efficiency.

Abstract	Objective: To review the metabolic encephalopathies and neuromuscular abnormalities commonly found in the critically ill patient in a two-part presentation. Data sources: A review of articles reported from 1980 to 2002 and identified through a MEDLINE search on metabolic encephalopathy, polyneuropathy and myopathy in critical illness. Summary of review: An alteration in the conscious state can be caused by space occupying lesions or infections of the central nervous system. However, in the critically ill patient a metabolic encephalopathy is often the cause of an acute confusional state or a reduced state of consciousness. There is no specific treatment for the metabolic encephalopathies as they commonly resolve when the underlying disorders (e.g. sepsis, renal failure, hepatic failure, electrolyte disturbance) are corrected. Management may also require judicious pharmacological and/or physical restraint in the case of the acute confusional states and ensuring an adequate airway, ventilation and circulation in the case of a reduced state of consciousness, while the underlying disorder is corrected and the encephalopathy resolves. Conclusions: In the critically ill patient a metabolic encephalopathy is commonly the cause of confusion, disorientation, agitation, drowsiness or coma. Sedative agents and tranquilisers may be required as well as management of the airway, ventilation and circulation while the underlying disorder is corrected to allow the encephalopathy to resolve.

Article: Neurologic complications of critical illness: part II. Polyneuropathies and myopathies.

Sanap, M N / Worthley, L I G

Critical care and resuscitation : journal of the Australasian Academy of Critical Care Medicine

2002 Volume 4, Issue 2, Page(s) 133–140

Abstract	Objective: To review the metabolic encephalopathies and neuromuscular abnormalities commonly found in the critically ill patient in a two-part presentation. Data sources: A review of articles reported from 1980 to 2002 and identified through a MEDLINE search on metabolic encephalopathy, polyneuropathy and myopathy in critical illness. Summary of review: Severe weaknes in the critically ill patient may have many causes, although Guillain-Barré syndrome, critical illness polyneuropathy and critical illness myopathy are the motor disorders commonly found in the critically ill patient. Guillain-Barré syndrome is characterised by an acute ascending weakness 1-3 weeks after a gastrointestinal or upper respiratory tract infection. Intravenous immune globulin (or plasmapheresis) should be initiated as soon as possible to shorten the duration of ventilation, time to walk unaided and halt the progression of the disease. Critical illness polyneuropathy and critical illness myopathy often coexist in the critically ill patient and are probably caused by a small number of activated leucocytes that infiltrate skeletal muscle and produce pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Axonal degeneration of both motor and sensory fibres with preservation of the myelin sheath cause the neuropathy, and muscle fibre necrosis and atrophy causes the myopathy. Apart from treatment of the underlying cause (e.g sepsis), there is no specific treatment, although a 44% reduction in the incidence of critical illness polyneuropathy has been described in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients who received intensive insulin therapy to maintain the blood glucose level between 4.4-6.1 mmol/L. Recovery usually occurs over weeks to months depending on the severity of the disease. Conclusions: An acute motor weaknesses in the critically ill patient may be caused by Guillain-Barré syndrome, critical illness polyneuropathy or critical illness myopathy. Patients with severe Guillain-Barré syndrome should be managed in an intensive care unit and given intravenous immune globulin. Treatment of critical illness polyneuropathy or myopathy requires largely management of the underlying disorder.
