Background: Stunting is based on the index of PB/U or TB/U with a threshold (z-score) ≤ -2 SD. Stunting is not only caused by one factor but is caused by many factors that are interconnected with each other. This study aims to determine the relationship between parenting and maternal knowledge about nutrition with the incidence of stunting in children aged 7-24 months at the Sawah Lebar Health Center in Bengkulu in 2023. Method: The research design used in this study was Descriptive Analytic with Cross Sectional approach and ampelous wasselected by accidental sampling technique with a sample of 52 people. This study used the Chi Square test with a confidence level of 95%. Results: Based on univariate analysis, the results showed that most of the mother's parenting style was good parenting (76,9%), while mother's knowledge about nutrition was mostly good knowledge (78,8%) and children were stunted, namely (15,4%). The results of bivariate analysis showed that there was a association between parenting style and the incidence of stunting with p-value (0,017) and there was a association between nutritional knowledge of mother and the incidence of stunting with p-value (0,001). Conclusion: There is an association between parenting style and nutritional knowledge of mother with the incidence of stunting aged 7-24 months in Sawah Lebar Health Center in Bengkulu City in 2023 Suggestion: Suggestions for mothers are expected to pay attention to the nutritional status of children, especiallypuskesmas to provide counseling to mothers who have children and toddlers about stunting, so that further research is expected on parenting and knowledge Mothers about nutrition by considering other factors that can affect the incidence of stunting such as child intake and infectious diseases.

Lipids are biologically active in a variety of ways in plants, animals, and people. In addition to providing energy and necessary fatty acids, they are also significant parts of our daily diet. They also act as transporters of fat-soluble vitamins and aid in their absorption. The texture, mouth feel, and flavor of food are all influenced by lipids, which are essential as a heating medium for food processing. Structured lipids (SL) are triacylglycerols (TAG) that have undergone chemical or enzymatic modification to change the fatty acid makeup and/or where they are located within the glycerol backbone. Target fatty acids may be delivered most effectively via SL for nutritional or therapeutic objectives, as well as to treat particular diseases and metabolic problems. The chemistry, content, classification, use, presence in food, and biological functions of lipids are covered in this document. It also clarifies several facets of structured lipids, such as their applications, methods of synthesis (chemical vs. enzymatic), use in aquaculture, and potential future developments.

Uterine fibroids are one of the most common pathologies in women of reproductive age, related not only to the achievement, but also to the course of pregnancy. In addition, in some cases it has a significant impact on the method of delivery and is associated with certain complications during labor and in the postpartum period. Myoma previa is a rare complication in pregnant women with uterine fibroids. We present a case of a patient with myoma previa during pregnancy. Due to the presence of a large protruding myoma in the patient, a decision was made to deliver by cesarean section. A live fetus was born and a large myoma in the lower uterine segment was found. Due to the suspicion of necrotic changes in the myoma, which would lead to complications in the postpartum period, a myomectomy was performed without complications. Subsequent histological examination revealed necrotic changes in the fibroid. The postpartum period in the woman passed without deviations.

Analysis of water such as river and lakes can provide an insight into their composition and potential impact on the environment. Nsit Ubium River is a fresh water body that flows through urban areas in Akwa Ibom state. The locals attached a lot of socio-economic importance to the river, as a result of this a lot of humans generated pollutants find their way into it. Researching on the autecology of microalgae in the river, water and algae sample were collected from the river for the period of four months (October 2021 to January 2022) and analyzed for physiochemical parameters and species diversity using standard procedures. Water samples were collected using 1 litre transparent bottle while microalgae samples were collected by scrapping the attached plants on the river bank into a transparent bottle and preserved with a drop of a mixture of formaldehyde and lugol iodine. pH ranged between (4.1 and 5.8), conductivity between (15 and 153), alkalinity between (5.0 and 5.8), Nitrate between (0.5 and 0.80Mg/L), phosphate between (5.01 and 7.8Mg/L) and dissolve oxygen between (6.27 and 9.22mg/l) were determined. Five divisions of algae comprising of 92 taxa were identified during this study. The division, Bacillariophyta was the most represented division accounting for 80% occurrence and a total of 72 species, this was followed by Chlorophyta with 10%, Euglenophyta (7%), Cyanophyta (2%) which were accounted for 9, 6 and 2 taxa respectively. Dinophyta was the least represented with (1%) and contributed only one taxon. The month of November has the highest number of species with total of 54 taxa while December has the least occurrence (31 taxa). The composition of microalgae in Nsit Ubium River were dominated by diatoms (Bacillariophyta) which are good pollution bio-indicators. The Cyanophyta indicates higher nutrient enrichment which could have been due to runoff from agricultural land or waste water discharge. Therefore, the documented algae in the river could be usedful as a pollutant indicator in assessing pollution status of rivers.

Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin make up the majority of biomass energy, which is a sustainable and renewable feedstock. Since lignin is the most common naturally occurring aromatic polymer on Earth, it holds great promise for useful products. Separating lignin from cellulose in biomass before converting it to biofuels or bioproducts is a crucial pre-treatment step. Alkali acid can be used to extract lignin from non-food components that remain following agricultural processing. As a result, we achieve the required lignin by the above procedure was used. The results demonstrate an extraction process of 5 hours, 4 hours, and 3 hours at 100 degrees Celsius, 130 degrees Celsius. Utilizing NaOH and H2SO4 for liquor and biomass to liquor ratio of 1:20. The total lignin content of the walnut shell was 13% lignin yield at 5 hr as well as neem tree bark biomass was found to be 5 % at 3 hours and walnut shell 14 % at 5 hr as well as 8% at 3 hours for almond shell lignin yield. It can be seen that the walnut shell produced the most lignin when compared to other types of biomass.

The cell ion channels are complex protein structures with molecular systems of opening, closing, selectivity, inactivation and regulation. The purpose of this review is to generalize and systematize literature data on the structural and functional characteristics of ion channels and methods for studying their activity. Violations of their activity can lead to a change in the functioning of the cell and the whole organism as a whole, therefore, further study of the structural and physiological characteristics of ion channels is promising and relevant.

Many fungi are now emerging as important causes of superficial and deep seated infections of man. The indiscriminate use of broad spectrum antimicrobials by oral and topical routes and prolonged hospital stay have led to emergence of many new fungal pathogens like Candida auris, Histoplasma spp. and Emergomyces spp.. Of these, C. auris is an established nosocomial pathogen now and can colonize hospital surfaces very commonly. Immunocompromised status of the patients due to various causes like HIV infection, Diabetes mellitus and anticancer chemotherapy, have added to the problems of emerging mycoses. Other risk factors can be exposure to soil and vegetation, and aquatic animals, in case of Lobomycosis. Some of these emerging mycoses are caused by dimorphic fungi. Also, some of these pathogens are really not fungi but algae, like Prototheca spp. Many a times these fungal pathogens are very difficult to identify accurately and treat. Treatment options are limited and surgical excision may have to be tried. Some of them may not be culturable at all, and need histopathology to confirm diagnosis. Their taxonomy is also being revised and reviewed constantly. These aspects are very important and should be studied and reviewed. Here we have reviewed available information in this aspect.

The commonly used nutmeg, beneficial at low dose, appeared to have side effects at high doses. On ants used as biological models, we found that this spice affected essentially the locomotion, and also maybe consequently, the food intake, the activity, the orientation, the audacity, the brood caring, the escape behavior, but not the state of stress, the cognition, learning and memory. The ants did not adapt themselves to these side effects and developed dependence on nutmeg consumption. The effect of this spice vanished in 22 hours after weaning. All these findings are not divulgated, but must imperatively be known by users (every one, restaurateurs) and practitioners, for instance by writing them of the spice package. Nutmeg must not be no longer on authorized – it has excellent effects at low doses – its use must simply but obligatory limited.

The aim of the present study is to report the endovascular treatment of a giant splenic aneurysm. Female patient, 56 years old, during an outpatient investigation of complaints of sporadic nausea, without associated abdominal pain, a contrast-enhanced tomography was performed, showing two saccular splenic artery aneurysms, one in the proximal third with a diameter of 6.2x4.5cm and one in the middle-distal third of 5.1x4.4cm. Procedure performed in three stages: initially with arteriography of the celiac trunk for therapeutic planning; in a second moment, embolization was performed with splenic artery coils, in a portion distal to the aneurysms, with success; and in a third moment, embolization of the proximal portion of the splenic artery was performed, with a 12mm vascular plug, without intercurrences. Patient with good evolution, discharged in the first postoperative period and in outpatient follow-up. Endovascular treatment is the first choice for correction of LAAs, and advances in methods and materials available allow it to be used as an option in cases of complex anatomy.
