Omega-3-Index Response to Eating Poultry Foods Naturally Enriched With Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Healthy Saudi Adults

Diets low in seafood omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are very prevalent. Such diets have recently been ranked as the sixth most important dietary risk factor-1.5 million deaths and 33 million disability-adjusted life-years worldwide are attributable to this deficiency. Wild oily fish stocks are insufficient to feed the world's population, and levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in farmed fish have more than halved in the last 20 years.
The primary objective of this randomised, double-blinded, controlled nutritional trial will be to test if consumption of at least 4 servings of omega-3 PUFA-enriched chicken-meat and 4 enriched eggs per week, over a 4-month period, results in measurably higher blood levels of EPA and DHA in healthy Saudi adults.
This will be a randomised double-blind interventional study. Eighty adult male and female participants (age ≥ 18 years of age) will be asked to eat at least 4 portions of omega-3-PUFA enriched (or control) chicken-meat per week, and at least 4 omega-3-PUFA enriched (or control) eggs per week, for 4 months. Participants will be assessed at baseline and at monthly intervals for 4 months. Assessments at these visits will include; comprehensive lifestyle and medical history; food frequency questionnaire; 3 days food record; height, weight, waist and hip circumferences; blood sampling; participant well-being and adverse events. Measurement of plasma and red blood cell levels of EPA, DHA and Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) will be performed at baseline and at study end using gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy.
The primary end point will be the change in red blood cell omega-3-index (sum of EPA and DHA expressed as percentage of total fatty acids in erythrocyte membranes) at 4 months. The nutritional trial will be analyzed on an intension to treat basis. Repeated measures ANOVA will be used to compare the two study groups. The study will be reported in accordance with the CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) 2010 statement.

Testing the Combined Effect of Dietary Nitrate and Caloric Restriction on Cognitive and Vascular Function in Older Adults Living With Overweight or Obesity: A 28-Day Pilot Randomised Trial

This pilot study will compare the effect of combining dietary nitrate and caloric restriction versus dietary nitrate alone. The participant will be contacted, having responded to an advertisement on social media and posters, to attend the screening visit. They will be asked about their health status, suitability for MRI and availability. The investigators will use physical activity and eating attitude questionnaires. The investigators will also measure their height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and blood pressure (BP) and undertake blood tests. If they are eligible, they will be randomised to one of the two arms. The first group will consume nitrate-rich beetroot juice with a calorie-restricted diet for 28 days. The second group will drink the same juice with a weight-maintenance diet for the same period. The food and drinks will be provided. The outcome measures will be measured twice (at the baseline and end visits) to evaluate the change. The primary outcome is the cognitive function. The secondary outcomes are peripheral vascular health (BP and microvascular perfusion), cerebral vascular health (brain blood flow), anthropometry, body composition, and exhaled NO and nitrate concentrations. Also, the feasibility and accessibility of the study will be assessed.

Comparison of Computer Controlled Intra-ligamentary Local Anesthesia and Conventional Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block in Primary Molars Extractions - Randomized Clinical Trail

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess pain perception and compare the effectiveness between periodontal ligament anesthesia using Computer-controlled Local Anesthetic delivery system and the Conventional Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block during extraction of the primary molars.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Is there a difference in pain perception and anesthesia effectiveness between the CC-ILA system and the traditional syringe when administering IANB in pediatric patients undergoing primary molar extractions.
Researchers will compare CC-ILA system to traditional syringe when administering IANB to see if there a difference in pain perception and anesthesia effectiveness.
Participants will:
Have their lower first primary molar extracted by receiving either periodontal ligament anesthesia using computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery system or the conventional inferior alveolar nerve bock.
Pain perception during the anesthesia process was measured using both objective criteria through the Sound-Eye-Motor scale and subjective assessment using Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale. The efficacy of anesthesia at various stages of the extraction procedure was evaluated using the Sound-Eye-Motor scale.

Chemical composition and bio-efficacy of agro-waste plant extracts and their potential as bioinsecticides against Culex pipiens mosquitoes

Article

作者: Baz, Mohamed M ; Alkhaibari, Abeer Mousa ; Alasmari, Saeed M ; Gattan, Hattan S ; Abdelkhalk, Heba F. ; Abdelkhalek, Heba F ; Alruhaili, Mohammed H ; El-Tabakh, Mohamed A M ; Alruhaili, Mohammed H. ; Baz, Mohamed M. ; Alasmari, Saeed M. ; El-Tabakh, Mohamed A.M. ; Gattan, Hattan S. ; Selim, Abdelfattah

Mosquitoes are considered one of the most lethal creatures on the planet and are responsible for millions of fatalities annually through the transmission of several diseases to humans. Green trash is commonly employed in agricultural fertilizer manufacturing and microbial bioprocesses for energy production. However, there is limited information available on the conversion of green waste into biocides. This study investigates the viability of utilizing green waste as a new biopesticide against Culex pipiens mosquito larvae. The current study found that plant extracts from Punica granatum (98.4 % mortality), Citrus sinensis (92 % mortality), Brassica oleracea (88 % mortality), Oryza sativa (81.6 % mortality), and Colocasia esculenta (53.6 % mortality) were very good at killing Cx. pipiens larvae 24 h post-treatment. The LC₅₀ values were 314.43, 370.72, 465.59, 666.67, and 1798.03 ppm for P. granatum, C. sinensis, B. oleracea, O. sativa, and C. esculenta, respectively. All plant extracts, particularly P. granatum extract (14.93 and 41.87 U/g), showed a significant reduction in acid and alkaline phosphate activity. Additionally, pomegranate extract showed a significant decrease (90 %) in field larval density, with a stability of up to five days post-treatment. GC-MS results showed more chemical classes, such as terpenes, esters, fatty acids, alkanes, and phenolic compounds. HPLC analysis revealed that the analyzed extracts had a high concentration of phenolic and flavonoid components. Moreover, there are many variations among these plants in the amount of each compound. The docking interaction showed a simulation of the atomic-level interaction between a protein and a small molecule through the binding site of target proteins, explaining the most critical elements influencing the enzyme's activity or inhibitions. The study's findings showed that the various phytochemicals found in agro-waste plants had high larvicidal activity and provide a safe and efficient substitute to conventional pesticides for pest management, as well as a potential future in biotechnology.

Developing natural microcapsules by encapsulating peptides for preserving Zanthoxylum Bungeanum

Article

作者: Batool, Zahra ; Sameen, Dur E ; Shen, Bairong ; Kamal, Mohammad Amjad

Natural edible microcapsules, were developed to improve the shelf life of Zanthoxylum bungeanum. Antimicrobial peptides, extracted from seeds of Sichuan pepper corn by ultrasound and microwave assisted extraction were encapsulated with nisin using water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) microencapsulation technique. Prepared microcapsules exhibited maximum encapsulation efficiency (ω %) of 30.20 at 3:1 ratio of extracted protein (EP) to gum Arabic (GA). After characterization, microcapsules were applied to Sichuan peppers by coating them during 10-days storage. Meanwhile, antimicrobial activity, total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and radical scavenging activity (%) of treated pepper samples were evaluated; demonstrating that S3 and S4 microcapsules provided maximum antimicrobial activity (89.75 and 81.33 %), TPC (543.56 ± 3.87 and 481.40 ± 6.54 GAE/g), TFC (266.02 ± 2.64 QE/g and 306.96 ± 3.87 QE/g) and DPPH radical scavenging activity (78.06 ± 2.87 and 76.52 ± 1.67 %), respectively. Hence, S3 and S4 micro-capsules can be successfully employed as edible coating packaging to improve quality and shelf life of pepper.

Design and synthesis of high quantum yield doped carbon nano probe derived from household sources for sensing of the anti-GERD drug pantoprazole

Article

作者: El-Maghrabey, Mahmoud ; El-Shaheny, Rania ; Magdy, Galal ; Al-Khateeb, Lateefa A ; Alshehri, Sultan ; Alsehli, Bandar R. ; Mahdi, Wael A. ; Alsehli, Bandar R ; El Hamd, Mohamed A. ; Al-Khateeb, Lateefa A. ; El Hamd, Mohamed A ; Mahdi, Wael A

This contribution aims to design and validate a new green, cheap, and fast approach for determining the anti-GERD drug pantoprazole in different matrices. New S and N-doped carbon nanomaterials (S,N-CNMs) have been prepared via microwave irradiation of a mixture of widely available household sources. Remarkably, the utilization of a blend of carbamide and thiocarbamide with table sugar yields S,N-CNMs exhibiting the utmost quantum yield (54 %), hydrophilicity, as well as stable, homogeneous, and diminutive particle size distribution. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, spectrophotometry, and fluorescence spectroscopy were applied to characterize the S,N-CNMs. The S,N-CNMs have been used as a turn-off fluorescence probe to determine pantoprazole via a synergism of the inner filter effect and static quenching mechanisms. The fluorescence quenching is linearly correlated to pantoprazole concentration over the range of 1.0-25.0 µg/mL with a detection limit of 0.16 µg/mL. The developed probe exhibited good selectivity for pantoprazole in the presence of variability of substances. Therefore, it was applied for quality control of pantoprazole in pharmaceutical tablets and vials with an average recovery % of 100.10 ± 0.77 % and 100.33 ± 0.92 %, respectively. Moreover, it was successfully implemented to examine the content uniformity of pantoprazole in tablets. Furthermore, the prepared S,N-CNMs have been successfully used for the analysis of pantoprazole in human plasma after a simple protein precipitation step with a recovery % of 97.88 ± 5.72 %. The greenness and blueness of the developed method have been positively assessed by recent tools showing the eco-friendliness and applicability of the developed method.

Understanding NPHIES, KSA’s health information exchange

In the GCC, Saudi Arabia stands out as one of the leading territories spearheading the transformation of the healthcare landscape in the region. The country’s ambitious Vision 2030 goals encompass a range of objectives, which include enhancing healthcare services, digitising healthcare records, and elevating the overall efficiency of the nation’s healthcare system. Given the Kingdom’s resolute commitment to these healthcare advancements, it is unsurprising that Saudi Arabia is poised to introduce a comprehensive Health Information Exchange (HIE) system that has the potential to outshine its global counterparts. As the Medical Director of the Council of Health Insurance (CHI) in Saudi Arabia, Dr. Wail Yar is one of the key figures driving the programme. The CHI plays an integral role in the establishment of the country’s HIE known as NPHIES, which stands for the National Platform for Health and Insurance Exchange Services. “What makes NPHIES unique is that it has two parts: NPHIES Taameen [Insurance] and NPHIES Sehey [Health],” explains Dr. Yar. “This division is necessary due to how healthcare functions in Saudi Arabia, encompassing both public and private sectors.” The Kingdom’s public sector comprises four entities: the Ministry of Health (MoH), Saudi Arabian National Guard, Ministry of Interior, and Ministry of Education health offerings. “NPHIES Taameen serves as the infrastructure for the interaction between insurance companies and the private sector,” he states. Dr. Yar – who is also Assistant Professor of Preventive Medicine at King AbdulAziz University – is scheduled to appear at the 6th GCC eHealth Workforce Development Conference (eHWDC 2023) , taking place between 31 October and 2 November 2023 at Jumeirah Emirates Towers. The event will feature a dedicated panel where further details about NPHIES will be revealed. But just what do we know about it as of now? NPHIES TAAMEEN According to public records, the initial phase of NPHIES’ implementation commenced in 2020 and has steadily advanced since. The project comprises two parts: one for the insurance segment, known as Taameen, and is under the management of the CHI; and one for healthcare, referred to as Sehey, which is overseen by the Saudi MoH. As of now, NPHIES Taameen has achieved broader public accessibility, with approximately 75% of healthcare providers currently integrated into the system. “The CHI’s role, established two decades ago, was to mediate between insurance companies and healthcare providers. Before NPHIES Taameen was launched, hospitals sent requests directly to insurance companies, following the prior authorisation process,” says Dr. Yar. “Today, the NPHIES platform acts as the intermediary. Hospitals and insurance companies connect their systems to NPHIES. Hospital service requests now go through NPHIES, and insurance companies respond through the platform. The CHI can monitor and regulate these transactions, ensuring transparency and addressing any issues like fraud, misuse, or patient care delays.” He continues: “At present, 75% of private providers are already connected to NPHIES, and by the end of October 2023, we aim to achieve a 91% connection rate.” NPHIES SEHEY Similar to other HIEs, NPHIES Sehey will house comprehensive patient data, such as medication history, allergies, vaccination records, and outpatient visits. Currently, it is in the testing phase. It is anticipated that more will be revealed about NPHIES Sehey in the coming weeks. With NPHIES Taameen approaching 90% adoption by the end of October, the same percentage target is set for NPHIES Sehey but with a different timeframe. “Our goal is to reach 90% of the market,” reveals Dr. Yar. “From an insurance perspective, 90% of the market will already be linked to NPHIES Taameen by the end of October. “However, expanding to NPHIES Sehey will no doubt take more time; likely 3 to 5 years to achieve a similar level of integration. The process for hospitals is quite costly and complex; it’s not that easy to do. It requires a lot of manpower, equipment, education, technical implementation, and adoption. It's a significant undertaking.” Find out more about NPHIES during eHWDC 2023. Register to attend by visiting gccehealth.org .
