    Abstract Incisional site metastasis in abdominal malignancy following laparotomy is uncommon and extremely rare in cervical cancer. The prognosis is poor in these patients, as they also present with distant organ metastasis. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix in a 40-year-old woman primarily treated with radical hysterectomy and concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Later on, she presented with incisional scar site recurrence and underwent surgical excision of the metastatic site several times along with chemotherapy. She has been in stable condition for nearly 10 years since her first recurrence. We highlighted the management strategies of this patient that contributed to her longevity.

    Abstract The occurrence of synchronous tumors is rare and there have been only a few reported cases. In this particular report, a 30-year-old female presented with abnormal heaviness and anorexia for one month. The case involved the presence of two simultaneous tumors: an immature teratoma in the ovary and a carcinoid tumor in the appendix. This case was complex and presented challenges for diagnosis and treatment. Although synchronous tumors are uncommon, they should be considered as a possibility in the differential diagnosis. Physicians may encounter difficulties in both clinical and histopathological diagnosis when dealing with such cases.

    Abstract Purpose: Deprescribing is a complex process that requires active patient involvement, so the patient's attitude to deprescribing is crucial to its success. This study aimed to assess predictors of Saudi Arabian patients' willingness to deprescribe.
    Patients and methods: In this cross-sectional study, adult patients from two hospitals in Riyadh completed a self-administered questionnaire gathering data on demographic information and the Arabic revised Patients' Attitudes Towards Deprescribing (rPATD) questions. Descriptive analysis and binary logistic regression were used to analyze the data.
    Results: A total of 242 patients were included (mean age 59.8 (SD 11.05) years, range 25-87 years; 40% 60-69 years; 54.1% female). The majority (90%) of participants were willing to have medications deprescribed. Willingness to deprescribe was significantly associated with the rPATD involvement factor (OR=1.866, 95% CI 1.177-2.958, p=0.008) and the patient's perception of their health status (OR=2.08, CI=1.058-4.119, p=0.034).
    Conclusion: The majority of patients were willing to have one or more medications deprescribed if recommended by their doctors. Patient perceptions about their own health and their involvement in deprescribing were important predictive factors that could shape counseling and education strategies to encourage deprescribing.

    Abstract Inspired by thermally sensitive ion channels in human skin, a polarized membrane composed of a ferroelectric polymer fiber matrix is used to double the heat-induced potential in ionic thermoelectric devices. The comparison of the thermal potentials between different directions of polarization and temperature gradient indicates the importance of cation-dipole interactions for the enhancement.

    Abstract Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and glycated albumin (GA) are vital markers for assessing glucose control in diabetes. This cross-sectional study involving 901 diagnosed type 2 diabetics aimed to compare calculated HbA1c, using the formula HbA1c = 2.6 + 0.03 x FBS (mg/dL), with directly measured HbA1c. Simultaneously, the study assessed the agreement between the two methods through regression analysis and explored correlations with various measures of glycemic control. The non-parametric Kolmogorov-Smirnov test indicated a non-normal data distribution, prompting appropriate statistical tests. Spearman's correlation coefficient revealed a strong correlation of calculated HbA1c, calculated GA, and estimated average glucose with measured parameters. Wilcoxon rank sum test indicated a significant difference between directly measured and calculated HbA1c (Z -9.487033, p < 0.0001). Passing Bablok regression analysis showed a significant deviation from linearity. Despite the potential cost benefits in resource-poor settings, caution is advised regarding interchangeable use of calculated and directly measured HbA1c in clinical decision-making. Data shows the importance of robust analytical methods in glycemic control assessment, offering insights for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus.

    Abstract The contribution of dehydration to the growing market of food powders from slurry/liquid matrices is inevitable. To overcome the challenges posed by conventional drying technologies, several innovative approaches have emerged. However, industrial implementation is limited due to insufficient information on the best-suited drying technologies for targeted products. Therefore, this review aimed to compare various conventional and emerging dehydration technologies (such as active freeze, supercritical, agitated thin-film, and vortex chamber drying) based on their fundamental principles, potential applications, and limitations. Additionally, this article reviewed the effects of drying technologies on porosity, which greatly influence the solubility, rehydration, and stability of powder. The comparison between different drying technologies enables informed decision-making in selecting the appropriate one. It was found that active freeze drying is effective in producing free-flowing powders, unlike conventional freeze drying. Vortex chamber drying could be considered a viable alternative to spray drying, requiring a compact chamber than the large tower needed for spray drying. Freeze-dried, spray freeze-dried, and foam mat-dried powders exhibit higher porosity than spray-dried ones, whereas supercritical drying produces nano-porous interconnected powders. Notably, several factors like glass transition temperature, drying technologies, particle aggregation, agglomeration, and sintering impact powder porosity. However, some binders, such as maltodextrin, sucrose, and lactose, could be applied in controlled agglomeration to enhance powder porosity. Further investigation on the effect of emerging technologies on powder properties and their commercial feasibility is required to discover their potential in liquid drying. Moreover, utilizing clean-label drying ingredients like dietary fibers, derived from agricultural waste, presents promising opportunities.

    Abstract Ethylene, a ripening hormone, is critical in limiting the shelf life of fresh produce, specifically climacteric fruits and vegetables. A simple and benign fabrication approach is used to transform sugarcane bagasse, an agro-industrial waste into lignocellulosic nanofibrils (LCNF). In this investigation, biodegradable film was fabricated using LCNF (extracted from sugarcane bagasse) and guar gum (GG) which was reinforced with zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-8/zeolite. The LCNF/GG film not only acts as a biodegradable matrix to hold the ZIF-8/zeolite composite, but also possesses ethylene scavenging, antioxidant, and UV-blocking properties. The characterization results suggested that pure LCNF showed antioxidant activity of around 69.55 %. The LCNF/GG/MOF-4 film has shown lowest UV-transmittance (5.06 %) and highest ethylene scavenging capacity (40.2 %) among all the samples. After 6 days of storage at 25 ± 2 °C, packaged control bananas samples underwent significant degradation. In contrast, a banana package consisting of LCNF/GG/MOF-4 film maintained their high quality in terms of colour. Fabricated novel biodegradable film has potential application prospects for being used in prolonging the shelf life of fresh produce.

    Abstract Knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) for an antenatal check-up during pregnancy is a key indicator of a healthcare facility in a community. Antenatal care (ANC) is a useful practice for lowering infant and maternal mortality. Therefore, the present study was planned to estimate knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding ANC among pregnant women and determine its association with sociodemographic factors. This hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 400 pregnant women through convenience sampling from March 2020 to February 2021. A semistructured questionnaire included sociodemographic and obstetrical history, and scored questionnaire on KAP was used. The analysis included parametric, nonparametric, and Pearson correlation coefficient tests. The finding of the study revealed that pregnant women had average knowledge (96%), positive attitudes (98.75%), and good practices (58.5%) toward ANC. The level of overall knowledge had a positive correlation with the practices toward ANC (
