Experiencing the seasonal variation and rapid global warming in the tropical climate is a common phenomenon which challenged the aquatic organisms to adapt the physiology and behavior. To investigate the effect of high-temperature acclimation, we selected Indian major carp, rohu (Labeo rohita), a commercially important freshwater aquaculture species. Oxygen consumptions, micronucleus formation in erythrocytes, and gill histopathology were observed in L. rohita fingerlings acclimated at three temperatures (30, 33, and 36 °C) for 30 days. Results showed that the highest acclimated temperature (36 °C) induced higher oxygen consumption and increased frequency of micronucleus formation in erythrocytes. Severity of different histological alterations (hyperplasia, epithelial necrosis, telangiectasis, epithelial lifting, and hypertrophy of chloride cells) in the gills was found to be increased in the highest acclimated temperature (36 °C). These findings indicate the temperature induced adaptive responses and climate vulnerability in a changing environment. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of delivering a prospective surveillance model in the home over 6months for women at high risk of developing lymphoedema. A single-group, intervention study recruited 20 women who had surgical and medical treatment for confirmed node-positive invasive breast cancer and therefore at high risk of developing arm lymphoedema. Participants received a package including Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS) monitoring, lymphoedema education and support to promote self-management and physical activity. Participants adhered to BIS monitoring 74% of the time, and felt extremely confident in using the device. By 6months, mean BIS L-Dex scores had increased from 3.5 (SD 5.6) to 8.4 (SD 11.1); five women (25%) who experienced > + 6.5 increase in L-Dex score were fitted with a compression garment. Self-reported symptoms and distress decreased by 0.4 out of 10 (95% CI 0.1 to 0.7); number of self-management strategies used increased by 0.6 (95% CI 0.1 to 1.2); and planned exercise increased by 2.8h/week (95% CI 0.4 to 5.2). These findings indicate a prospective surveillance model of care in the home with BIS is feasible and associated with increased self-management. A Phase II randomised trial is warranted as well as research exploring the costs associated with implementing this model of care for high-risk individuals.These findings indicate a prospective surveillance model of care in the home with BIS is feasible and associated with increased self-management.

To examine the influence of voxel sizes to detect of peri-implant fenestration defects on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. This study performed with three sheep heads both maxilla and mandible and two types of dental implant type 1 zirconium implant (Zr ) (n = 6) and type 2 titanium implant (Ti ) (n = 10). A total of 14 peri-implant fenestrations (8 buccal surfaces, 6 palatal/lingual surface) were created while 18 surfaces (8 buccal, 10 palatal/lingual) were free of fenestrations. Three observers have evaluated the images of fenestration at each site. Images obtained with 0.75 mm , 0.100 mm , 0.150 mm , 0.200 mm , and 0.400 mm voxel sizes. For intra- and inter-observer agreements for each voxel size, Kappa coefficients were calculated. Intra- and inter-observer kappa values were the highest for 0.150 mm , and the lowest in 0.75 mm and 0.400 mm voxel sizes for all types of implants. The highest area under the curve (AUC) values were found higher for the scan mode of 0.150 mm , whereas lower AUC values were found for the voxel size for 0.400 mm . Titanium implants had higher AUC values than zirconium with the statistical significance for all voxel sizes (p ≤ 0.05). A voxel size of 0.150 mm can be used to detect peri-implant fenestration bone defects. CBCT is the most reliable diagnostic tool for peri-implant fenestration bone defects.A voxel size of 0.150 mm3 can be used to detect peri-implant fenestration bone defects.

Important natural environment geo-information and summary of the spatial characteristics of Tana River Basin (TRB) in Kenya have been obtained through hydro-geomorphometric analysis. Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer Digital Elevation Model (ASTERDEM) data and ArcGIS (ESRI Inc., version 10.4.1) together with published mathematical equations were applied to extract morphometric parameters of the drainage basin, which covers a total area of 94,930 km2 and a span of 527.75 km. The quantitative morphometric analysis considered a total of 28 relief, areal, and linear hydro-morphometric characteristics of the TRB. Relief parameters of the basin suggest moderate-to-low overall watershed steepness, upland with rolling land surface patterns, rugged landforms susceptible to erosion and sediment transportation, and a landscape in evolution process tending towards maturity. This means stability of the land surface can be attained with intensive land degradation reversing strategies like erosion control measures. Areal characteristics further support the basin's susceptibility to erosion as shown by stream length, stream drainage density, and circulatory ratio values. Also, the areal aspects portray peak runoffs with short duration flashes. Linear parameter value results such as bifurcation ratio imply that infiltration capacity varies with stream orders across the watershed. This hydro-geomorphometric analysis would be useful to land and water managers, researchers and practitioners of TRB, and other similar systems in designing and planning soil and water conservation and management practices such as soil erosion control, groundwater recharge activities, catchment modelling, runoff and flood studies, prospecting groundwater mapping, and biological applications.
