BACKGROUND Lactose malabsorption is variably associated with lactose intolerance (LI). The determinants of symptom onset have not yet been completely identified. Visceral sensitivity may play a role in the pathogenesis of functional symptoms;an increasing bulk of clinical and research data suggests the importance of the brain-gut interaction in intestinal bowel syndrome. AIM: To assess the impact of anxiety on LI symptoms, and the correlation between gas production during Lactose Breath test (LBT) and the intensity of gastrointestinal symptoms (GI) in anxious (A) and non-anxious (NA) patients. METHODS: LBT was carried out in 104 consecutive participants referred to our Gastroenterology Unit. GI symptoms were evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS: 0-10) throughout the LBT. All patients completed the HADS to determine anxiety. RESULTS LBT was positive in 70/104 (67%) participants;49/ 104 (47%) showed significant anxiety symptoms (>10 items). In A subjects we did not find any significant correlation between gas levels and abdominal LI symptoms scores throughout the LBT. A subject showed higher scores for all LI symptoms as compared with other participants, independently of LBT results. NA pts with positive LBT showed higher scores for all LI symptoms, as compared to negative subjects. LIMITATIONS: The predominant gender is female but it is in agreement with literature data that show a preponderance of IBS in women. CONCLUSIONS: A status significantly influences the severity of all LI symptoms and does not strictly correlate with lactase deficiency. Conversely, among NA subjects LI symptoms increase along with H2 production. Anxiety seems to be a confounding factor in IBS pts.

Lactose breath test (LBT) is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of lactose malabsorption. The test is considered positive for a peak of hydrogen (H2) ≥ 20 parts per million (ppm) above the baseline. Some patients (pts) showed a rapid peak between 30 and 90 minutes after lactose ingestion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of an early peak during a LBT and an accelerated oro-cecal transit time (OCTT). We retrospectively analyzed all pts who referred to our Gastroenterology unit for Irritable Bowel Syndrome, from January to September 2012, who performed LBT, glucose and lactulose breath test. We consider a positive LBT for a peak of H2 > 20 ppm, a positive GHBT for a peak >12 ppm and we considered a normal OCCT a peak of H2 ≥ 10 ppm between 75 ± 105 min after lactulose load. The correlation between LBT and OCTT was evaluated by Pearson score. 93 pts (65 F/28 M mean age 47 ± 6 years) with a positive LBT, without small intestinal bacterial overgrowth were analyzed: 46 pts (32 F/14 M;mean age 48 ± 6 years) with an early peak (2 (≥20 ppm) were enrolled as case, and 47 pts matched for sex and age with a peak of H2 after 90 min were enrolled as controls. 72% (33/46) of the group with an early peak showed an accelerated, 17% (8/46) a normal and 11% (5/46) a delayed OCTT. Meanwhile, in control group 40.4% (19/47) showed a normal, 57.5% (27/47) a delayed and just 1 pts an accelerated OCTT. The specificity and sensibility of LBT for an accelerated OCTT were 97.9% and 71.7% respectively. The positive predictive value of LBT for an accelerated OCTT is 97.1%;the negative predictive value is 78%. There is a significant correlation between LBT and OCTT (p The presence of an early peak of H2 between 30 and 90 min after the ingestion of 25 gr of lactose could predict the presence of an accelerated OCTT in 97% of pts. If confirmed by further study, in this subset of pts, lactulose breath test for evaluating OCTT could be avoided.

Hypertension is a big problem worldwide. The purpose of this study is to examine the prevalence, knowledge, attitude, and practice about hypertension at Gulu University, Gulu city, Gulu district, Acholi subregion, Northern Uganda. A literature search on hypertension was done. It showed that, in Uganda, a representative number of 17,777 adult patients’ data were analyzed from January 2014 to February 2024. The epidemiological data on awareness of hypertension was found to be at 8%. Of this, 18.3% of the people with hypertension had it under control. The results of the findings were promising. Hypertension is an important public health challenge in Uganda particularly in Northern Uganda where Gulu University falls. In comparison with the two regions of Central Uganda and Northern Uganda, there was a significant number of populations that were not aware of their condition. Those diagnosed were on treatment but the treatment was not adhered to due to stock outs of medicines. Therefore, Measures are required to prevent hypertension, improve awareness, treatment and control within the community, especially at Gulu University where research has never been done.

自动化技术在推动向清洁燃料经济转型的过程中扮演着至关重要的角色,本文讲述了自动化技术是如何促进更安全且高效的绿氢生产。绿氢生产目前正处于其发展的初级阶段,伴随着行业的逐步探索与成长,短期内确实可能面临更为复杂的安全挑战。氢作为一种能源载体,如同所有可燃物质一样,具有相应的潜在危险。其高度易燃的特性意味着即使氢气与空气的混合比例很低——低至空气中氢气含量达到4%时,就足以构成爆炸风险。

Agrochemicals are contemporary, omnipresent tool used in vegetable cultivation. Farmers’ knowledge and awareness of the proper usage of agrochemicals are critical for mitigating the negative effects on human health. This cross-sectional study was aimed at assessing the usage knowledge, risk awareness of toxicological and chemical classes, proper handling and use practices for agrochemicals homologated for use in vegetable farming, and the occurrence of health-related symptoms as a result of exposure among these farmers. The study included 93 vegetable growers from agricultural hotspot towns in Fako, southwest Cameroon. The field study, ran from November 2021 to December 2023, using a questionnaire to collect information on farmers demographic, and their knowledge of pesticide classes, and the related risk of associated with the handling of agrochemicals. Results show that all vegetable farmers, particularly those engaged in agribusiness, employ pesticide inputs to maximize production. Six pesticides, two fertilizer types, and one unknown substance were identified. While 23 active compounds were found, the most utilized were abamectin, emamectin (10.46%), dimethoate (9.30%,) and ethoprophos (8.13%). Two active chemicals, dimethoate and methalaxyl, are illegal yet remain in circulation. Toxicological classes I and II, with the greatest harmful effect on human health, were the most commonly utilized (64.27%). Thirty-nine percent of farmers never use personal protection equipment when working with agrochemicals, demonstrating a significant gap in knowledge and awareness of agrochemicals and their various applications and handling procedures in the field. The government should implement an intensive specialized educational program for on-field farmers with incentives in order to promote sustainable agriculture methods that ensure environmental and human safety.
