Purple Cabbage Soaking Water as an Alternative Dye to Replace Eosin in Soil-Transmitted Helminth Egg Examination

Enjellika Fingka, Supriyanto, Slamet Slamet

Worm infestation remains a public health problem in Indonesia, caused by soil-transmitted helminth infections. The main worms causing human infection are Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Strongyloides stercoralis, and hookworm. The 2% eosin is a dye used to stain worm eggs to diagnose helminth infections through microscopic examination. Purple cabbage contains anthocyanin pigments that can impart red, purple, blue, green, and yellow colours. This study aims to explain the differences in staining results f …

Normal gains: estimators of learning rates in pretest-posttest settings

Jairo A. Navarrete-Ulloa, Valentina Giaconi, Gonzalo Contador

Introduction Nonlinear transformations of pretest and posttest scores are widely used in educational and psychological measurement to estimate group-level change, yet the statistical behavior of estimators derived from such transformations under measurement error remains poorly understood. We examine this problem in the context of normalized gains (ngains), a ratio-based transformation used to estimate group-level “learning rates” in pretest-posttest designs. Two standard estimation methods — the average ngain of t …

Does avoidance of oral exposure to patch test allergens benefit patients with eczema? A systematic review

Louay S Abdulkarim, Emily Ko, Isabella Wolfe, Beatriz Suarez Martinez-Falero, Ying Teo, Emma Corden, Peter S Friedmann, Michael R Ardern-Jones

Abstract Background The increased risk of cutaneous allergies in patients with eczema is well recognized. For recalcitrant cases, patch testing is recommended, and cutaneous avoidance of positive allergens is standard practice. However, some allergens are also present in foods and medicines, but the precise role of dietary avoidance to allergens identified by patch testing in eczema remains unclear. Objectives To evaluate the relationship between oral exposure to patch test-confirmed allergens and eczema provocatio …

The Role of Place-Based Programs in Supporting Ethnic-Racial Identity and Mental Well-being Among Racialized Children in North America: A Systematic Review

Reweena Debebe, Favour Okoh

Background: Racialized children and adolescents experience mental health inequities, particularly in North America, where racism and discrimination can affect health and well-being. Positive ethnic-racial identity, cultural connectedness, and belonging may protect psychological well-being. However, limited research examines how place-based programs, embedded in local settings where youth regularly gather and participate, support identity and well-being. This review examined how place-based programs support ethnic-r …

Arold Fazili, Priscille Lushimba Samukini, Adonis Kalume, Armand Abasi, Jean Paul Nbolua Koto-Te-Nyiwa

Introduction: Homozygous sickle cell disease (SS) is a hemoglobinopathy characterized by chronic hemolytic anemia and vaso -occlusive crises. In Lubumbashi (DRC), routine laboratory evaluation is often limited to a complete blood count, neglecting advanced reticulocyte parameters. This study aims to evaluate the profile of the immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF) and erythrocyte constants in children with SS sickle cell disease during the intercritical phase. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conduct …

An updated systematic review of buffalo nutritional requirements (2000–2024)

Jarbas Miguel da Silva Junior

Abstract Buffaloes ( Bubalus bubalis ) are large ruminants with a superior ability to digest and utilize low-quality forages, producing milk and meat of higher quality compared to cattle. Despite their importance in animal production, buffaloes remain the focus of relatively few studies aimed at defining their nutritional requirements, which often results in inadequate diet formulation and management. There, this study aimed to conduct a systematic review of the literature on buffalo nutritional requirements, consi …

The development of literacy self-concept in preschool children within the home literacy environment

Öykü Camligüney, Tina Schiele, Maria Valcárcel Jiménez, Frank Niklas

Abstract Literacy self-concept is associated with various educational outcomes, particularly literacy skills. A positive literacy self-concept enhances literacy skills and increased skills positively influence self-concept. At preschool age, a stimulating home literacy environment may additionally contribute to a stronger relation between literacy self-concept and early literacy skills, i.e., an accurate literacy self-concept, as it offers children opportunities to apply and observe their skills. To test this idea, …

Microglial Neurotransmitter Receptors in Health and Disease

Qianqian Bi, Guo Cheng, Ningting Chen, Xin Zhou, Quan Zhou, Xiaoli Liu, Xiao Z. Shen, Peng Shi

Microglia are the major resident immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS). They emerge at very early stages of brain development and subsequently expand and persist through self-renewal within the CNS. As a result, microglial behaviors are profoundly shaped by the CNS microenvironment, enabling them to meet the unique demands of neural tissue and to cope with CNS stresses. Neurotransmitters are the primary chemical messages that are conveyed between neurons; however, glia cells, including microglia, are now …
