Evaluation of risk factors and in-hospital outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease in a tertiary care teaching hospital

Cardiovascular disorders are estimated to be the leading cause of mortality world wide. Among them, acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has the highest incidence and extensive mortality. It has been long recognized that ACS risk factors increase the likelihood of disease. Clinical research studies have demonstrated that effective ACS risk factor reduction results in decreases in ACS morbidity and mortality. Present study is aiming at to assess various risk factors and in-hospital outcomes of patients with acute coronary syndrome. Study is carried out in the department of cardiology in Tertiary Health Care Hospital in South India. Prospective data were collected for one and half year by the investigator during regular ward rounds. Data collected were evaluated for the following parameters such as demography, risk factor and in-hospital outcome. A total of 253 patients were admitted for the management of ACS. The average age of study population was found to be 61.07±11.38 years. Occurrence of ACS was highest [154(60.87%)] in the range of 55-74 years. Majority of them were males [204(80.63%) ] . Among the risk factors of ACS, dyslipidaemia (79.28%) was most common, followed by hypertension (54. 92%), diabetes (43.51%) and smoking. out of 253 ACS patients 99(39.13%) patients had various in-hospital outcomes. The average length of hospital stay for ACS patients was found to be 6.4 ± 3.5 days. This study provides a valuable reference data on the risk factors and in-hospital outcomes of acute coronary syndrome. By taking care of risk factors, one can reduce the incidences of ACS.
Slip Effects on MHD Flow of Casson Fluid over an Exponentially Stretching Sheet in Presence of Thermal Radiation, Heat Source/Sink and Chemical Reaction

The present paper is devoted to describing the boun dary layer flow of a non-Newtonian Casson fluid acc ompanied by heat and mass transfer towards a porous exponent ially stretching sheet with velocity slip and therm al slip conditions in presence of thermal radiation, suctio n/blowing, viscous dissipation, heat source/sink an d chemical reaction effects. The governing partial differentia l equations are reduced to a set of highly non-line ar ordinary differential equations by using suitable similarity transformations and solved numerically by an impli cit finite difference scheme known as the Keller box method. I n the present work the effects of the non-dimension al governing parameters on velocity, temperature and c oncentration profiles have been discussed and prese nt d graphically. As well as for the local skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood numbers e xhibited and examined. It is found that the temperature and conc entration profiles are increasing to higher value w hen the Casson parameter increases but reverse is true for the velocity distribution. Finally, the velocity an d temperature profiles are decreasing with the increasing values of the velocity slip and thermal slip parameters re p ctively.
GENDER DIFFERENCES AND SUSTAINABLE CONSUMPTION BEHAVIOR

This research paper is an attempt to investigate the role of gender influencing sustainable consumption behavior among UAE consumers. This study is significant considering the fact that UAE ranks at the top in global retail consumption index. The existing literature on role of gender in sustainable consumption behavior yields mixed results. Data was gathered from 115 respondents with the help of self-administered questionnaire using Sustainable Consumption Behavior scale (SCB). The findings of the study are evident of the fact that gender differences do exist when it comes to efficient use of resources, green initiatives, minimizing wastage and optimizing the scarce resources. The purchase decisions of women were significantly influenced by sustainable consumption patterns in comparison to men in UAE. Hence, the findings of this study hold significant strategic relevance for the consumers, marketers and policy makers.
Global incidence of primary malignant bone tumors

Background:Though the incidence of primary malignant bone tumors is relatively low, the mortality related to them is disproportionately high, especially among teenagers and young adults. The currently available incidence figures are based mainly on data collected from more developed countries. Global incidence figures and comparative figures between various regions and continents are not available. Methods:The global incidence rates for primary malignant bone tumors across all age groups were estimated using the data from the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents, IARC CI5-annual detailed data set (ADDS). Comparison of incidence rates was done across all age groups and continents, including gender comparison. The data are presented in 5-year age brackets from birth until maximal possible age for which data were available in the database. Results:The global incidence of primary malignant bone tumors shows a specific age distribution pattern with two incidence peaks at 10-20 yr and a steady increase from 40 yr to the age of 80 yr. There is a significant difference between males and females, with males being affected almost 1.5 times more frequently than females. South America had the highest incidence rates in both the peak age groups affected. Conclusions:There are significant geographic variations in incidence of primary malignant bone tumors with variation being more significant in elderly age group.
β-carotene Content of Some Commonly Consumed Vegetables and Fruits Available in Delhi, India

Most of the vitamin A in the diet comes from plant food sources in developing countries. This study was designed with an objective of determining β-carotene content of a total of 26 types of green leafy vegetables, tubers, other vegetables and fruits obtained from four wholesale markets in Delhi, India using HPLC. There was a wide variation in β-carotene content of green leafy vegetables, with means ranging from 2199 μg/100 g in Basella rubra to 7753 μg/100 g in Amaranthus gangeticus. A large variation was observed in β-carotene content of fruits and the mango varieties tested, ranging from undetectable levels in strawberry and 808.60 μg/100 g in totapuri mango up to 11789 μg/100 g in alphonso mango. Approximately 65 g and 100 g of a green leafy vegetable would meet daily requirement of a preschooler and older child/adult respectively. Mango has considerable amount of β-carotene, and consuming a medium-sized bowl by preschool children would meet 99% of Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA). The information generated is useful in identifying types of fruits and vegetables with higher concentration of the provitamin A in low income economies where fruits and vegetables are expensive. Individuals need to consume only small quantities of these vitamin A rich foods to meet daily requirement.
ADIPONECTIN TO LEPTIN RATIO AS A MARKER OF INSULIN RESISTANCE IN WOMEN WITH POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME (PCOS) IN RELATION TO BMI

Polycystic ovarian syndrome is commonly known endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, PCOS has significant and diverse clinical implications including reproductive (infertility, hyperandrogenism, hirsutism), metabolic (insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, type2 diabetes mellitus, adverse cardiovascular risk profiles) and psychological features (increased anxiety, depression). Insulin resistance (IR) is a defining characteristic of polycystic ovary syndrome,both lean and obese patients with PCOS have been found to be at risk for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Meanwhile, leptin and adiponectin exert powerful effects on blood glucose homeostasis. This study was aimed to evaluate the adiponectin to leptin ratio (ALR) as a marker of insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) by examination the correlation of ALR with the glycemic indices and other studied parameters in patients with PCOS in comparison to their control groups with respect to BMI. Fasting blood specimens from forty two women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) (22 non-obese with BMI <30 and 20 obese with BMI≥30)whom are attending Kamal Al-Samarraee for Infertility and in vitro Fertilization Hospital in Baghdad/Iraq, besides forty seven apparently healthy women (27 non-obese with BMI <30 and 20 obese with BMI≥30). For assessment of serum levels of glucose ( FSG) , insulin (FSI), adiponectin and leptin by ELISA kits . QUIKI and HOMA-IR were significantly different in PCOS groups as compared to their control, the mean serum adiponectin levels were significantly decreased in obese PCOS women (20.14 ± 2.61ng/ml ) as compared with the control (33.77 ± 4.98ng/ml), furthermore, it was significantly lowered in non-obese PCOS in comparison to the control (31.91 ± 4.86ng/ml ,42.96 ± 3.96ng/ml respectively). Whereas, serum leptin levels were not significantly changed in PCOS groups as compared with the control. Thus, ALR ratio could be considered as a good marker for early detection of IR in obese apparently healthy subjects and in non-obese PCOS , and to be more indicative for insulin sensitivity than considering W/H ratio which is related to adiponectin & leptin secretion.
Growth Performance of Young Pateri Cross Breed Goat Supplemented with Selenium Yeast

Object of current study was to evaluate the effects of selenium supplementation growth performance and feed conversion ratio of goats. Forty females crossbred (Pateri x local) goats were divided into two isonitrogenous diet groups: one without any supplementation and the other was supplemented with Se, along with same basal diet for both the groups supplied on the dry matter basis per kg body weight (BW) per day. The control group had lower daily total dry matter intake (779.70 vs. 904.77 g/d) is lower than the Se treated group. Daily grass intake (3.69 vs. 4.29 kg), crude protein (11.41 vs. 13.28 g) were also significantly different. Body weight gain (1.20 vs. 1.66 kg) is also increased for Se supplemented group as compare to control, significant differences were observed between groups for average daily gain (17.14 vs. 32.8 g). The feed conversion ratio (45.63 vs. 38.24 kg) was lower in Se supplemented group as compare to the control. Se supplemented goats have higher total dry matter intake, feed conversion ratio, average body weight gain than those fed high concentrate only.
Giant Verruca Vulgaris-Rare Presentation

Common wart is the most frequent clinical lesion caused by human papillomaviruses (HPVs). Giant, chronic raised lesion, bilaterally on the same anatomical area is uncommon. We reported a case of giant verruca vulgaris in a 25 year-old man on both legs that slowly enlarged and hardened in 5 years. It was a hyperkeratotic verruca vulgaris, grey brownish in color, circumscribe, round, and 4.0x3. 0x1.0 cm in size on the right leg and 3.5x3. 4x0.5 cm on the left leg and around 0.4cm raised from the skin surface. Histopathologic examination revealed compact hyperkeratosis/orthokeratosis, many koilocytes in the granular and upper spinous layer, acanthosis, and elongated rete ridges that were pointing radially toward the center of the lesion. The patient was successfully treated with surgical excision followed by split skin grafting.

Determining the Susceptibility Pattern of Different Candida Species, Isolated From Hospitalized Immunocompromised Patients in Urmia Hospitals, to Antifungal Drugs

Resistance to fungal infections is increasing throughout the world, and this is especially important in immunocompromised patients. Infection with candida fungi species is one of the most important causes of fungal infections in these patients, able to cause complications and mortality. The purpose of this study was to determine the susceptibility of isolated candida species to systemic antifungal drugs in immunocompromised patients in Urmia. Two hundred patients with immune deficiencies were examined for Candida fungi infection in Urmia hospitals. After isolation of Candida species causing the infection, their susceptibility to amphotericin B, fluconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole and ketoconazole was investigated. Data were analyzed using SPSS21. Chi-square, Fisher's exact and Monte Carlo tests were used to compare the data. Out of the 200 patients with immune deficiencies, 45 (23%) of the patients showed infections due to Candida fungi species. The isolated species were albicans (68.9%), glabrata (13.3%), tropicalis, parapsilosis, krusei and kefyr (each 4.4%). Overall susceptibility to amphotericin B was 77.8%, fluconazole 55.6%, itraconazole 46.7%, voriconazole 91.1%, posaconazole 77.8%, and ketoconazole 40%. According to the results, Voriconazole is the best medicine for preventing or treating candidal infections in patients with immune deficiencies.
Isolation and Molecular Characterization of Shigatoxigenic and Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli from diverse sources

Total 45 E. coli isolates were recovered from faecal samples of 77 diarrhoeic and 85 healthy animals and birds, 51 milk samples and 48 diarrhoeic human stool samples. Multiplex PCR based molecular characterization targeting the virulence genes (stx1, stx2, eae and bfpA) could reveal presence of 24 Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) and 21 as enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC). Among the STEC 19 isolates belonged to 13 different serogroups while four were untypable and one rough. Majority of STEC isolates carried stx2 gene. Out of 21 EPEC isolates, 15 were serogrouped into 9 different serogroups and 6 were either untypable or rough. All the four EPEC isolates of milk origin belonged to serogroup O2. Only two isolates from dierrhoeic buffaloes were found to be typical.
Performance of Network Coding Based Multipath Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks

In recent times, there have been many advances in the field of information theory and wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies. Network coding is a new paradigm in data transport and promises to change many aspects of WSN. In this paper, we introduce an analytical framework to study the performance of network coding based multipath routing, and proposes a Network Coding based Multipath Routing algorithm, in comparison with replication based multipath routing in WSN (NCMR). It is typically proposed in order to increase the reliability of data transmission or to provide load balancing. In our simulation, we compare NCMR routing protocol with AODVM and MDSR routing protocol, in terms of the packet delivery rate, average packet delivery delay, packet loss probability and network lifetime when a packet is transmitted. The simulation results show that the NCMR routing protocol provide an accurate and efficient method of estimating and evaluating the route stability in dynamic WSNs.
Chemical and Biological Measures against Sclerotinia spp . The Causal of Foliage Blight Disease of Cucumber and Pepper Plants in Egypt-A Review

302 Abstract— Severe outbreaks of Sclerotinia foliage blight disease symptoms with sclerotial formation were observed as first occurrence during a disease survey of growing cucumber and pepper plants during the cool season, 2011 in the Protected Cultivation Station, Ministry of Agriculture located at Tookh province, Qalubiya governorate, Egypt. The isolated causal pathogens for cucumber and pepper foliage blights were identified as Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary and S. minor Jagger, respectively. This is thought to be the first report of these fungi to cause foliage blights on cucumber and pepper in Egypt. As control measures antagonistic agents and fungicides against the growth both pathogenic fungi under in vitro conditions were evaluated. The obtained results showed complete growth inhibition was recorded for both S. sclerotiorum and S. minor at 100ppm of Top-sin-M and Ridomil Gold, while Rizolex-T gave the same effect at 200ppm. The fungicide, Previcure had inhibitor effect on the mycelia growth of both fungi only at the high concentration 800ppm. Moreover, the antagonistic fungi (Trichoderma spp.) showed superior inhibitory effect against the growth of pathogenic fungi compared with bacterial isolates (B. subtilis & P. florescence). No significant differences between the tested antagonistic microorganisms and commercial biocides were observed. Recently, interest has been shown in combining microbial bio-control agents with other chemical components to increase their activity against plant pathogens. To reach the proposed aim, determination of the efficacy of some plantderived essential oils, plant resistance inducers and plant extracts in combination with bio-control agents against the growth of Sclerotinia foliage blight pathogens S. sclerotiorum and S. minor was carried out under in vitro conditions. The obtained results in the present study has shown the potential of tested materials as effective inhibitors against pathogenic fungi when combined factors with antagonistic bio-agents. The present work summarizes and reviewed all attempts towards control of Sclerotinia spp. starting from survey of detected infected cucumber and pepper plants with Sclerotina foliage blight in plastic houses under protected cultivation system up to isolation of the causal pathogen and evaluating some control measures under laboratory conditions. This work was carried out during a project supported by the Science and Technology Development Fund (STDF), Egypt.
EVALUATION OF NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF CHILDREN IN NURSERY SCHOOLS IN KISANGANI CITY, DR CONGO

Malnutrition is a public health problem in developing countries. In DR Congo no food is provide at nursery schools. So it is necessary to evaluate the nutritional status of children under five years old in pre-schools. In this study, the nutritional status of children attending nursery schools in the city of Kisangani, specifically those of the communes of Makiso, Mangobo, Tshopo and Kabondo is evaluated. It is a descriptive cross-sectional study of 400 target children in kindergartens. Anthropometric data was collected. They were weight-for-height, height-for-age, weight-for-age indices. These data have been processed and analyzed by WHO Anthro® software. The results showed that 4.0% of children were emaciated, 27.6% were stunted and 10.6% were underweight. In contrast, 2.4% of children were overweight (obesity). The distribution curves of the children compared to the reference curves are shifted slightly to the right for W/A, S/A, W/S slightly suggest a tendency to a state of under-nutrition and overnutrition.
