Factors Associated with Caring Abilities Among Nurses Working at El-Shatby Maternity University Hospital

A descriptive exploratory research design was conducted at all departments of El-shatby Maternity University Hospital. A convenience sample of 280 nurses who are providing care in previously mention settings was recruited. Data was collected through the five tools: Tool (1): socio-demographic and academic characteristic. Tool (2): Norbeck social support questionnaire ( NSSQ. Tool (3): A short version of Cohen perceived stress scale (PSS10). Tool (4): Work Related Factors questionnaire. Tool (5): Modified Version of Caring Ability Inventory (CAI). The study reveled an adverse statistically significant relation between nurses' caring ability and present of family problems (p = 0.027). Where only 18.3% of those with family problems had high caring abilities. The same picture is observed in relation to social support level (p = < 0.0001). Where 43.4% of those with high level of caring abilities have high level of social support. There was also a statistically significant difference between caring abilities and perceived stress level (p = 0.001). That is to say more than three quarters (77.8%) of the nurses who had low level of caring abilities had expressed high level of stress. Again, a statistically significantly relationship is observed between nurses' caring abilities and their physical environment(p=0.001). Where, 69.4% of the nurses who had low level of caring abilities did perceive their physical work environment as negative. As much as 63.9% of nurses who had low level of caring abilities had a high work load. The relationship between work load and caring abilities is statistically significant (p = 0.038). The study reflected that, many factors are associated with nursing caring abilities. Accordingly, it revealed the need for same strategy and plan to modify or improve quality of care through enhancing nurses' caring abilities. [Reda M. Hables.

Determinants of calcified placenta and its association with fetal outcome among mothers who gave birth in Southern Ethiopia, 2018

Background: Placenta is a complex multifunctional organ that maintains pregnancy and promotes normal fetal development. Fetal outcome is adversely influenced by pathological changes in placenta because it is a mirror which reflects intrauterine status of fetus. Placental abnormalities are considered as leading cause of maternal and perinatal mortality. Objective of the study was to assess determinants of calcified placenta and its association with fetal outcomes. Methods: Institutional based unmatched case-control study was conducted on 213 placentas from mothers who gave birth at Dilla university referral hospital with an age range of 19-34 years. Calcifications were assessed radiologically and graded according to Grannum. Bivariate logistic regression analysis was identified and fitted to the multiple logistic regression analysis to identify the independent effects of each variable to the outcome variable. Chi-square test was used to find the potential association between grade two and above levels of calcification and fetal outcomes. Results: Total 213 singles parturient with their placenta above 37 weeks gestational age were included. The likelihood of developing grade two and above level of calcification associated with the following variables: educational status (OR=3.134; 95%CI: 1.208, 8.135),parity (OR 3.125; 95% CI: 1.354, 7.213) ,maternal anemia (OR 6.834;95%C: I2.626,17.803), smoking (OR 6.343;95% CI: 2.624,15.334), abruption (OR 6.046;95% CI: 2.392,15.277), and pregnancyinduced hypertension (OR 4.868 ;95% CI: 2.095,11.354). In this study, neonatal outcomes in grade II and above level of calcification were poorer than grade I and bellow level of calcification in chisquare association test. Conclusions: Grade II and above level of placental calcification (case) was significantly associated with maternal pregnancy-induced pathologies, number of parity, maternal educational status, and results in different kind of anomalies, maternal and neonatal mortality. Therefore, the practice of placental examination before and after birth guarantees for feto-maternal wellbeing.
Assessing the factors that affect potential prescribing patterns of Plan B in UTMB Physician Assistant Students

There have been many research studies investigating the efficacy, availability, and need for emergency contraception. Many of the studies have demonstrated that personal beliefs and values of the health care provider play a role in whether or not the provider will prescribe emergency contraception. However, no studies have examined the specific values and beliefs that influence this decision. The aim of this study was to explore what values and beliefs play a role in physician assistant students' opinions on Plan B and whether or not they will prescribe it in the future. A non-random convenience sample of 129 students at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) was surveyed on a voluntary basis. The results showed that the strongest factor influencing students to prescribe Plan B in the future is the individual patient scenario, while the strongest factor influencing them to not prescribe Plan B is religious beliefs. The patient scenarios in which students are most likely to prescribe Plan B include a rape victim and younger age of the patient. Student beliefs on when life begins (fertilization vs. implantation or later) also play a role in whether or not they will prescribe Plan B, as does the amount of clinical hours they have had in Physician Assistant school. Differences in religion among participants do not seem to play a role in their decision to prescribe, however. The results of this study are noteworthy because they demonstrate that individual patient circumstances, more than religion or other factors, clearly play a role in whether or not future health care providers will prescribe Plan B or not.
A Practical Animal Model for Depression by Reserpine-Administered Mice

Depression is a serious health risk globally, and reports by the World Health Organization have predicted depression to be the leading global burden of diseases by 2030 [1]. Generally, depression is a disease affecting one’s quality of life, and is commonly associated with dysfunctional mechanisms of neurotransmitters [2]. Common symptoms of depression include (1) feeling sad or anxious often; (2) feeling irritable or easily frustrated; (3) insomnia or excessive sleeping; (4) changes in eating habits or having no appetite; (5) trouble concentrating or hindered decision making; [6] feeling guilty or worthless; (7) decreased energy and fatigue; (8)thoughts of harming one’s self; (9) suicidal contemplations [3].
“ISOLATION OF DYE DEGRADING PSEUDOMONAS SPECIES FROM THE SOIL NEAR DYEING INDUSTRY ERODE AND ITS POTENTIAL APPLICATION IN DYE EFFLUENT TREATMENT”

The dye related environmental pollution is increasing at an alarming rate over the worldwide especially in India. This made us to study on the biological control of dye pollutants by isolating the dye degrading microbes from contaminated soil. A total of seven dye degrading bacteria were isolated. Among these the most potential isolate S2 was further characterized. It was found to be a gram negative, rod shaped, flagellated, motile bacteria. The bacterial isolate showed positive reaction for the methyl red, voges proskaure and citrate while negative reaction for the indole test. Degrading strain S2 fermented glucose only while did not showed fermentations in the lactose, sucrose, fructose, xylose, arabinose, sorbitol and rhaminose. The degrading strain S2 showed the zone of hydrolysis gelatin agar medium, casein agar medium and did not showed the hydrolysis in the starch agar medium. Degrading strain S2 showed the positive reaction for the oxidase test, catalase test, urease test, and nitrate reduction test. Thus the identification test profile for the dye degrading strain S2 made it confirmed that isolated strains were belonging genus Pseudomonas species. The physical and chemical parameters showed the highest decolorizing activity were found at pH 6 (89.06%) and lowest decolorizing activity at pH 9 (82.34%). The effect of temperature for dye degrading strain Pseudomonas species S2 showed highest decolorizing activity at 37 0 C (90.08%) and lowest decolorizing activity at 45 0 C (71.65%).

Liver fluke disease or fasciolosis is one of the most important helminth infections of ruminants in the world caused by Fasciola spp.Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate and identify the fasciolid species by morphometric and molecular methods in Alkut city. Adult Fasciola worms (n=79) were obtained from sheep in different condition, ages, and sex from slaughterhouse. Morphometrically, the liver worms collected from the sheep were stained with alum carmine stain and results revealed the occurrence of F. hepatica. The PCR amplification ITS2 fragment was performed. The isolated DNA samples and the amplicons were consequently subjected to RFLP assay and nucleotide sequencing to distinguish between fasciolid species. Seventy nine samples collected from 360 sheep, were identified subsequently based on genetic markers:nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2). This study showed the intermediate form of Fasciolain Iraq. We concluded that morphometric examination alone is not sufficient and reliable in the species-specific identification and differentiation of Fasciola isolates. Threfore, to get more conclusive, molecular identification assay using PCR and further confirmation by sequencing is highly recommended. * Corresponding Author: Thuraya Khled Abdulwahed  Thuraya1155@gmail.com International Journal of Biosciences | IJB | ISSN: 2220-6655 (Print), 2222-5234 (Online) http://www.innspub. net Vol. 14, No. 1, p. 121-130, 2019
PREVALENCE OF ACINETOBACTER SPECIES AND ITS ANTIBIOGRAM PATTERN IN A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL, TIRUPATI, ANDHRA PRADESH

Background: The species belonging to the genus Acinetobacter are currently reported as opportunistic pathogens and shows multidrug resistance in hospitalized patients. The aim of this study was to isolate the clinical Acinetobacter species from NFGNB (Non Fermentative Gram Negative Bacilli) other than Pseudomonas and analyze their antibiogram (antibiotic susceptibility) patterns. This study helps to know the persistence of antibiotic resistance and decide the optional treatment feasible for Acinetobacter infections. Materials and Methods: Acinetobacter species were isolated and identified by standard methods. For isolated cultures antibiotic susceptibility pattern was determined by the standard disc diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer’s disc diffusion method). Results: The total number of Acinetobacter species isolated during one year period was 235 (79.93%) from 294 NFGNB. The Acinetobacter species was predominant in catheter tip 95 (40.42%) followed by pus 42 (17.87%), samples. This study shows first-rate susceptibility to tigecycline (100%) and followed by imipenem 73.18%. Conclusion: This study states that there is an emergence of Acinetobacter species with increased rate of multidrug resistance in the area of study. Hence, it is important to determine Acinetobacter species form NFGNB in the neglected area and do further antibiotic susceptibility test for accurate treatment.
Self-reported reproductive tract infection/ sexually transmitted infection and health care seeking behavior among the women living in a slum of Kolkata

Background: Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) is a public health problem of significance in most parts of the world. It adversely affects reproductive health in both sexes but its impact on women‟s reproductive health is far devastating. Objectives: The study was conducted to know the prevalence of self-reported STI among the currently married women living in the slum area of Kolkata, the factors related with it and also to study their care seeking behavior following the infection. Materials and methods: This community based descriptive study was conducted by interviewing currently married women residing in a slum of Kolkata. Symptoms of STI and healthcare seeking behavior following the infection were enquired. Symptoms were grouped into complexes and presumptive diagnosis was made. Results: The prevalence of symptoms suggestive of STIs in the study population was found to be 47.8%. The most common symptoms reported by the sufferers were low backache (29.6%), burning micturition (25.2 %), and genital itching (23.5%). All symptoms were more common in the women living in the joint family, having one or more history of abortion. Symptoms of urinary tract infection was more in the age group of >30 years and those with >10 years of marriage. Whereas, vaginitis was more common in <30 years (p= 0.01). Only 49.0% of the sufferers consulted a health facility for Chakrabarti S, Chakrabarti A. Self-reported reproductive tract infection/ sexually transmitted infection and health care seeking behavior among the women living in a slum of Kolkata. IAIM, 2017; 4(4): 46-52. Page 47 treatment and most of them (62.9%) availed health service from the urban health training centre of the area. Conclusion: The present study found high prevalence of self-perceived reproductive morbidity among women in the slum setting. In the study there was no scope of laboratory investigation and was based on recall of the event in preceding three months.

Some Geochemical properties and Industrial Applications of Lignite Deposits: Case Study of Orlu and environs, Imo State, Southeastern Nigeria

Some geochemical properties of Ihioma, Umuhu-Okabia and Ubaha lignite deposits in Orlu area of Imo State, Southeastern Nigeria were investigated using both proximate and ultimate analytical procedures. The average fixed carbon contents of the lignite deposits in Ihioma, Umuhu-Okabia and Ubaha were 71.33, 71.60 and 73.5 respectively while the average ash values (in dry base) were 7.33, 6.73 and 6.50 respectively. The average volatile matter contents (in ash free base) of the lignite in Ihioma, Umuhu-Okabia and Ubaha were 49.60, 51.20 and 49.47 respectively while the average moisture contents of the deposits were 6.76, 6.23 and 6.19% respectively. The ash, volatile matter and moisture contents of the lignite deposits in the three locations decreases with increase in fixed carbon content. These results revealed that the lignite in these locations are of high economic value as they can be used for power generation, coal gasification byproducts and other industrial uses.
Electroencephalographic profile of children attending a neurophysiology centre in Lagos, Nigeria

Background: Electroencephalography (EEG) is an important diagnostic tool for the evaluation of neurological disorders. There is a paucity of information about EEG recordings in Nigerian children. This study, therefore, aimed to describe the pattern and prevalence of EEG abnormalities among children referred for EEG assessment at a neurophysiology centre in Lagos, Nigeria. Methods: This was a prospective study carried out at a neurophysiology centre, Lagos, Nigeria. Consecutive 200 patients referred for EEG at a neurophysiology centre between 1st October, 2015-30th April 2016 were recruited into the study. Information was obtained on demographic, clinical presentation and EEG recordings. Results: The age of children ranges from 1-192 months with a median age of 42 (IQR 25-88) months. There were 128 males (64%) and 62 females (36%). Commonest clinical indications for making EEG request were seizure disorder (55%), cerebral palsy (24.5%) and febrile seizure (6.5%). EEG recording was abnormal in 161 (80.5%) children. There was a significantly high prevalence of abnormal epileptiform discharges in all cases with the exception of children with febrile seizures (p=0.002). The commonest abnormal epileptiform discharges were focal (70.2%). Others were generalized epileptiform activity (24.8%) and slow and diffuse waves suggestive of encephalopathies (5%). Ten (2%) children from the study population were diagnosed with absence seizure, Lennox-Gaustaut, and infantile spasm Conclusion: Secondary causes of seizure are an important contributor to seizure disorders in Nigerian children. The EEG is useful in the detection and classification of seizure types.
The influence of psychotherapy and depression on platelet imipramine and paroxetine binding.

[^H]-Paroxetine and [^H]-imipramine are known to label with high affinity, a site which is associated with the serotonergic transporter in brain and platelets. [^H]-imipramine binding to platelet membranes appears to be a biological marker in depression, the B^ax of platelet imipramine binding being significantly decreased in untreated depressed patients by comparison with healthy volunteers. Psychotherapy is claimed to produce significant improvement in depressed subjects without the use of drugs. This study aimed to determine whether differences were apparent in binding values for [^HJ-paroxetine and [^HJ-imipramine binding in subjects suffering fix)m mild depression compared to controls, and how these values changed as the subjects went through a period of psychotherapy. In addition, psychiatric state was assessed using the BDI, the MAACL and the GHQ-28. Binding levels were then correlated with the scores obtained from the self-administered questionnaires to determine the relationship between binding and psychological state. Similar data were also collected from a group of nurses, who it was predicted would be suffering from a higher level of depression than the general population and would remain untreated. The results from the psychotherapy group indicated that clients entering the study were significantly more depressed than controls (BDI P<0.05; MAACL P<0.01 GHQ-28 (excluding somatic symptoms) P<0.05) and had lower imipramine binding. Furthermore as they went through the period of psychotherapy their psychological test scores fell, and imipramine binding levels rose, to a level equivalent to the control values. Levels of [^H]-paroxetine binding to platelets did not appear to be affected by psychological state, at least in these patients. ^ In the group of nurses, both binding measurements were significantly lower than controls at most time points throughout the study (P<0.05) indicating lower affect. However psychological questionnaires indicated less distress in the nurses group than the control 1 group (particularly BDI and GHQ-28). This is discussed in terms of possible coping strategies employed by nurses. It was not possible to correlate the questionnaire scores with the results from the binding assays for clients, controls or nurses. There was no significant evidence of sex differences, either in binding parameters or questionnaire scores, and no evidence of seasonality of the binding levels. Proposals for future work are suggested.
INTRASEXUAL COMPETITION AMONG HUMANS: PROSOCIAL TOWARDS THE OPPOSITE SEX AND PROSELF TOWARDS THE SAME SEX?

In a research conducted on a sample of participants from three countries (N = 256): Poland, Ukraine and Denmark, a hypothesis of the moderating impact of other person sex on the level of social value orientation of men and women was tested. The study applied the now rarely used method of measuring social value orientation: the Warsaw Method, which was expected to reveal more subtle differences between men and women than those observed in the studies using the most popular social value orientation measurement tools, such as decomposed games. The direction of the observed relationship proved to be compatible with the predictions resulting from the phenomenon of intrasexual competition for a partner, however only in the case of men. Men were more prosocial in interaction with women than with other men, and more proselfinteracting with men rather than women. Similar relationships assumed in the case of women were only partially confirmed: women were more pro-self in interaction with same-sex partners compared to interactions with opposite sex partners (however, the relationship was statistically significant only within the individualistic value orientation), but at the same time they were prosocial (but only within the cooperative value orientation).
IN VITRO STUDIES ON THE BIOCONTROL POTENTIAL OF FISH SPECIES CARASSIUS AURATUS AGAINST MOSQUITO CULEX QUINQUEFASCIATUS

Mosquito control using synthetic insecticides is accompanied with many problems. Thus biological control measure are been widely used recently. In this context present investigation was carried out to test the predatory efficacy and to determine the predatory index of the fish Carassius auratus against the fourth instar larvae and pupae of the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus cultured using Hay infusion method. Predation potential of the fish C. auratus was evaluated in laboratory condition by the methods of National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme with slight modifications using artificial fish food as control treatment. Predation nature of fish was tested and data were statistically represented as mean ± SD. Initial and final weight gained by the fish species and predatory index was also determined. The results of present study showed that the larval predation efficacy of fish C. auratus is higher than its pupal predation efficacy. The predation potential was found to be high in first few hours and as the experiment proceeds it was found to fall down. The predatory index of C. auratus which showed an excellent larval predation rate was recorded as 47.84. Results revealed that the fish was interested to eat on larvae than pupae and artificial fish food. Thus the fish can be used as a bio control measure in integrated vector control by considering the ecology and epidemiological condition of area to be used.
