Maternal and fetal outcome among pregnant women presenting with thrombocytopenia

Background: Thrombocytopenia complicates about 7-8% of all pregnancies. It is an under-explored condition in Indian women during pregnancy, so the study was planned to find out the prevalence and causative factors of thrombocytopenia during pregnancy and to review management strategies for the best feto-maternal outcome. Methods: This prospective study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Dr. Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College Kangra at Tanda, Himachal Pradesh. 546 antenatal women were screened, 65 women who were diagnosed with thrombocytopenia, were included in the study. Results: The incidence of maternal thrombocytopenia in our study was 8.4%. 63% of the women had mild thrombocytopenia while 35.4% and 1.5% of women were moderate and severe thrombocytopenic respectively. The mean maternal platelet count was 106907±30136.52/µL whereas the mean neonatal platelet count was 175307.7±33834.87/µL. The incidence of fetal thrombocytopenia was 3.1%. Amongst 65 thrombocytopenic women 1.5% had HELLP Syndrome, 26.3% had PIH and 68.2% had gestational thrombocytopenia. 27.7% were delivered by LSCS and 72.3% were delivered vaginally. The most common indication of LSCS was acute fetal distress with MSL (55%) followed by breech (25%), failed induction (10%), and the rest (10%) for other obstetrical indications. 30% women required induction of labor with misoprostol for various obstetrical indications. The most common indication for induction was mild pre-eclampsia (45%) followed by IUGR (25%), PROM (15%) and post-date (15%). The mean baby weight in our study was 2.84±0.32 kg. Out of 65 neonates, 6.15% neonates required NICU admission. One neonate died at first post - op day because of respiratory distress syndrome. APGAR score <7 in 1 and 5 min were seen in 6.15% of neonates. Only 8% neonates were small for gestational age. Conclusions: In pregnancy with thrombocytopenia, gestational thrombocytopenia is the commonest and benign condition which does not alter the obstetrical management. Still a vigil should be kept on maternal platelet count in antenatal period to prevent unfavorable outcome in serious conditions that may require specific and urgent management (HELLP syndrome, severe pre-eclampsia, TTP, HUS and acute fatty liver of pregnancy).
Neonatal Septicemia: Bacterial Isolates & Their Antibiotics Susceptibility Patterns: A Hospital Based Study

1 Associate Professor, Department of Microbiology, Heritage Institute of Medical Sciences, Varanasi 2 Demonstrator, Department of Microbiology,-MLB Medical College, Jhansi 3 Assistant Professor, Department of Microbiology, NIMS Institute of Paramedical Science & Technology, NIMS University, Jaipur, Rajasthan Abstracts In neonates, sepsis incidence is increasing in the recent years. Neonatal septicemia is an important cause of morbidity & mortality among neonates in India, with an estimated incidence of approximately 4% in intramural live births. This present study was undertaken to study the bacteriological profile of neonatal septicemia cases and their antibiotic sensitivity pattern for planning strategy for the management of these cases. Neonatal septicemia is a life threatening emergency, and rapid treatment with antibiotics is essential for a favorable outcome. Classical empirical treatment of neonatal sepsis consists of amoxicillin & an aminoglycoside. In present study, S.aureus & Gramnegative isolates were frequently found to be resistant to amoxicillin & an aminoglycoside also, thus indicating that the use of these drugs might be ineffective. Therefore great caution is required in selection of antibiotic therapy.
Reactogenicity and Absenteeism

The impact of a mass influenza vaccination program on the operation of a major medical center was evaluated in adult volunteer employees who were given either ether-split or whole-virus bivalent influenza vaccine in a double-blind manner by jet-injector gun. Each volunteer completed a reaction informat; ,n form, nurses monitored temperatures, and data on absenteeism of the employees of the Nursing Service and the Building Management Service were collected. The results of this study demonstrated that the mass campaign did not adversely affect absenteeism. However, the whole-virus vaccine caused significantly more local, systemic, and febrile reactions than the split-virus vaccine. Purified inactivated influenza virus vaccines can be given in a mass campaign to hospital personnel without adversely affecting the operation of the hospital.

Safe Public Places: Rethinking Design for Women Safety

The rapid pace and nature of urbanization taking place throughout the world has thrown up new challenges for governments, and their populations as well as social scientists and activists. Public place is a social space that is generally open and accessible to all types of people. For many women and girls around the world, just passing through public placesa market, a crowded street or riding the bus – is cause for great anxiety. These spaces are places in order happening crime. People, Space and Place add many aspects that shape individuals perception of safety and also the elements of built environment have a profound effect on the three notions of safety: comfort, belonging and commitment (Tovi Fenster, 2005). On the other hand, gender urban design is important due to some urban spaces are unsafely for attendance of women. Planning and designing safe public spaces for women and girls means creating public spaces with features that enhance women’s safety and feelings of safety, and detract from features that cause women’s insecurity and feelings of insecurity. Streets, parks, bus stops, sports fields, squares, parking lots, etc. that have been planned and designed according to the specific safety needs of women and girls. Architects, urban planners, transit authorities, landscape architects and planning agencies and educating the design professions about ways to build projects from the outset that consider women’s safety as a key element of their design program could set the stage for and induce the psycho-social, behavioural, and cultural changes that need to take place before women are truly able to enjoy public spaces and engage fully in the civic life of their cities. The paper will first explore general issues related to public places i.e in Squares, Streets and market places regarding women’s safety. It will then examine factors of design consideration in creating safe built environment in public places. Finally, the paper will look at how public park space has become more inclusive of female users in Vienna, Austria and Toronto, and tries to explore learning from their work.
Women who are Victims of Physical Violence in Dakar: Description and Difficulties of Care

Domestic violence is nowadays regarded as a public health problem, so doctors must be the sentinels for the early detection and care of abused women and their children. This study aims to determine some characteristics of physical domestic violence in our context of practice, as well as the prominent place of the attending physician. This is a retrospective study in the region of Dakar at the level of the " Woman’s House or Law Boutique" localized in the districts of the Medina and Pikine over a period of six years. The "Law Boutique" is an institution set up by the Senegalese Lawyers Association to provide free legal advice and assistance to women victims of violence. The main violent people are husbands with 98%. We found that 16% of the victims had localized injuries including 43% head injury, 43% at the limb level and 14% in other areas of the body. Only 12% of victims have a medical certificate; 63% of which are issued by general practitioners, 37% by specialized doctors. Medical certificates were readable at 69%, and 31.2% of victims received treatment. The doctor should not only be limited to the medical care but they must both instigate awareness of abused women and inform them about their fundamental rights and freedoms. Thus, they must improve their training in order to detect domestic violence and their collaboration with judicial authorities to minimize the risks.
Analysis of Distributed Packet Receiving in ADHOC Network Using Multicast Routing Protocol

The main purpose multicast routing protocol in MANET is to deliver the data to a group of receivers. Several researchers are proposed various multicast routing protocols to achieve the reliability and scalability in MANET. MANET suffers from high overhead and redundant data transmission due to multicasting. We propose a neural network based multicast routing protocol to overcome the highest overhead and delay thereby network life time and packet delivery ratio (PDR) are improved. This is achieved by identifying the probability of optimum forwarding group node based on the information augmented with the JOIN_QUERY packet. The performance evolution shows the proposed approach ensures the PDR and reducing the control overhead significantly.

The results revealed that level of teacher quality in secondary schools in Edo South Senatorial District of Nigeria was high, there was average level of students’ academic performance in secondary schools in Edo South Senatorial District of Nigeria, Teacher quality and academic qualification had no significant influence on students’ academic performance. It was recommended among others that principals should ensure that the potentials of the teachers are well harnessed and utilized to reflect the true picture of their quality in the academic performance of students.
Serum Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) Activity among Diabetic Patients

Serum Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity is the most common screening test as a part of routine assessment of liver damage. Due to its low activity in extra hepatic tissues an increase in serum ALT is more specific for liver disease. The liver pathology among diabetics is similar to that of alcoholic liver disease, including fatty liver, steatohepatitis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis. Thus, elevated serum ALT activity which is a common sign of liver disease is also observed more frequently in diabetics. This study has been designed with the aim to determine the association of serum ALT activity with diabetes mellitus. The study included 208 subjects attending Nepal police hospital during the time frame 6 th October 2009 to 4 th January 2010.The ALT activity in serum was determined by kit method, fasting and post prandial sugar was tested by GOD-POD method. Among the total diabetic subjects 43.26% were found to have elevated serum ALT activity (>40IU/L). Diabetic status was found to be significantly associated with ALT activity (p=0.04). In addition to diabetic status body mass index (BMI) was also significantly associated with ALT activity (p=0.02) and higher BMI increases the likelihood of elevated ALT. The association of ALT activity was found to be inverse and significant with age of the patient(r=-0.217, p=0.005). Physical activity was also found to be inversely associated with ALT activity(r=-0.149, p=0.03). Int J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol 4(3): 386-390
PUBLIC HEALTH IMPORTANCE OF SOME COMMON INTESTINAL PROTOZOA IN FOOD HANDLER-IN BAGHDAD

Intestinal protozoa parasitic infection remains an important public health problem, consumption of contaminated food and water with the infective form of the protozoa consider to be the main source of infections. Therefore, food handlers play an importance role in the transmission of these parasites to their customers. This study consider to be the first one on food handler class in Baghdad (capital of Iraq) in order to screen the prevalence rate of intestinal protozoa infections as a total of 7487 stool samples were collected from food handler aged 20-45 years old how attended Al-Yarmouk teaching hospital laboratory to get medical certificates during the period from the beginning of May/2013 to the end of May/2016. All samples were examined using saline wet mount and staining methods. The overall results indicated that the total positive number for protozoa infections was 106 (1.41%) including 82 (1.09%) case for Giardia duodenalis and 24(0.32%) for Entamoeba histolytica. highly significant differences (p<0.01)were recorded according to gender and climate, males showed higher prevalence rate for infections 1.48% (94/106) compared with females 1.05% (24/106). In hot weather, 69 (1.77%) cases were observed as positive for infections while 37 (1.06%) case was seen in cold weather. In conclusion, this study shows that there are intestinal pathogenic protozoa infections among food handlers and G. duodenalis infection was the common one that requiring the establishment of adequate, treatment and prevention.
Occurrence of Cutaneous Epizootic Lymphangitis in Working Donkeys in Debre Zeit, Ethiopia

Epizootic lymphangitis, caused by Histoplasma farciminosum, is the major life threatening fungal disease of equines in Ethiopia. The present investigation describes the cutaneous form of epizootic lymphangitis in two working donkeys, which were presented for diagnosis and treatment at the Donkey Clinic, Debre Zeit, Ethiopia. Both the donkeys (aged 6 to 7 years) had cutaneous lesions on the forelimbs. Cytological examination of Giemsa and Gram stained smears from the cutaneous lesions showed several oval to pear shaped yeast cells morphologically indistinguishable from Histoplasma farciminosum. The pathogen was also cultured from the pus of both the affected animals on Sabouraud dextrose agar with 2.5% glycerol at 25°C. The treatment with topical application of 4% tincture iodine solution was attempted in both the donkeys. The emphasis is given on the early diagnosis and therapy to mitigate the suffering of the diseased animals. Further research on the development of the potent, cheap, and easily available chemotherapeutic agent or vaccine to prevent this mycosis in equines will be rewarding. It is emphasized that cytological examination of exudates/pus by Gram or Giemsa technique can be used for diagnosing the disease in remote areas where laboratory facilities for cultural isolation are nonexistent.
Feminization of Employment and Gender Inequality of Bangladesh Labor Market: The Case of Garment Industries

The recent breakthrough in the feminization of employment that took place in the Ready-made Garment (RMG) industries of Bangladesh has been accompanied by vigorous debate among scholars, policymakers and stakeholders about its effect on women in terms of gender in/equality. Because although women’s labor force participation tends to increase with economic development, this relationship is often not straightforward or consistent with the elimination of gender discrimination. Based on an analysis of this debate on gender inequality of labor market, this paper explores how garment female workers view and experience gender inequality in their everyday lives in respect to family-market-state relations. Applying a range of qualitative method and revisiting dual-systems theory, the analysis draws on in-depth interviews with twelve female garment workers and on interviews with thirty female garment workers at three garment industries located in different areas of Dhaka city. Empirical findings demonstrate that the new feminization of employment in the ready-made garment industries has portrayed the coexistence and intersections of multiple gender disparities within male-dominated power structures both at family and workplace. It is also evident that capitalist interests along with patriarchal norms and values influence the use of women as a cheap, flexible and docile labor to earn the maximum profits at the minimum possible cost. Findings further reveal that the role of the state is also insufficient to ensure gender equality in the ready-made garment industries. The paper concludes that the increasing rate of feminization of employment in Bangladesh ready-made garment industries does not coincide with the elimination of gender disparities to any larger extent.

An Integrated Health Risk Evaluation of Toxic Heavy Metals in Water from Richards Bay, South Africa

Heavy metals may affect human health in diverse ways ranging from cancer, reduced growth and development of nervous system damage, organ damage and in extreme cases, death. This study assessed the hazards of heavy metal based on target hazard quotient (THQ), derived from concentrations of heavy metals in water. Eighty-eight (88) water samples were collected from five sources and analyzed for lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) using inductively couple plasma and mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). Their health risks were assessed for oral ingestion and dermal absorption. The non-carcinogenic effects of these metals due to ingestion were found to be in a decreasing order: stream water>effluent water>Indian Ocean>Mzingazi river>Esikhawini tap water. Whereas via dermal absorption, the effects decrease in the order: effluent water>stream water>Mzingazi river>Esikhawini tap water>Indian Ocean. Additionally, carcinogenic risks were found to range from 1.03 × 10-10-6.56 × 10-7 in effluent water, 1.14 × 10-8-2.22 × 10-7 in stream, 5.15 × 10-11-2.61 × 10-7 in Indian ocean, 4.07 × 10-9-1.41 × 10-7 in Esikhawini tap water and 5.15 × 10-11-2.71 × 10-7 in Mzingazi river. The Hazard indexes of these selected metals in effluent water, river, Indian ocean and Esikhawini tap water were found to be less than a unity, indicating an unlikely health risk to the population using water from these sources. *Corresponding author: Risimati D Mavunda, Applied Physics and Engineering Mathematics Department, University of Johannesburg, PO Box 17011, Doornfontein 2028, South Africa, Tel: +27762864786; E-mail: mavundard@gmail.com Received June 11, 2017; Accepted June 25, 2017; Published June 30, 2017 Citation: Masok FB, Masiteng PL, Mavunda RD, Maleka PP (2017) An Integrated Health Risk Evaluation of Toxic Heavy Metals in Water from Richards Bay, South Africa.

Energy Efficient Approach for Wireless Sensor Network: A Survey

— Energy Efficiency is the major issues in wireless sensor network (WSN). Hierarchical routing protocol or clustering is the best solution for reducing energy consumption in WSN. LEACH (Low energy Adaptive clustering Hierarchy) is good hierarchical protocol . There are many protocols based on LEACH but still have issue of energy efficiency. In this paper we have mention how to increase energy efficiency of WSN. There are lots of works going on for the Cluster Head selection for increase network lifetime. If Cluster head (CH) is properly selected then efficiency of the particular cluster is increase and due to this efficiency of the network will increase. In this paper survey of different method to improve energy efficiency of wireless sensor network is given.
Performance Evaluation of Feature Extraction and Modeling Methods for Speaker Recognition

In this study, the performance of the prominent feature extraction and modeling methods in speaker recognition systems are evaluated on the specifically created database. The main feature of the database is that subjects are siblings or relatives. After giving the basic information about speaker recognition systems, outstanding properties of the methods are briefly mentioned. While Linear Predictive Cepstral Coefficients (LPCC) and Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) methods are preferred for feature extraction, Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) and I-Vector methods are employed for modeling. The best results are tried to be obtained by changing the parameters of these methods. A number of features for LPCC and MFCC and number of mixture components for GMM are the parameters experimented by changing. The aim of this study is to find out which parameters of the most commonly used methods contribute the success and at the same time, to determine the best combination of feature extraction and modeling methods for the speakers having similar sounds. This study is also a good resource and guidance for the researchers in the area of speaker recognition.
