Minor psychiatric disorders among family caregivers of users of Psychosocial Care Centers: prevalence and associated factors

This study aimed to identify the prevalence of the manifestation of Minor Psychiatric Disorders and its associated factors among 537 family caregivers of people living with psychological distress attended at 16 Psychosocial Care Centers (CAPS) located in the 21st health region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Considering a hierarchical theoretical model, the analysis adopted a Poisson regression to calculate the adjusted prevalence ratios. The prevalence of Minor Psychiatric Disorders found in the studied population was 42.1% (N = 226 CI: 38%-46,3%). Factors associated with these disorders were being female (PR: 1.54), having a close relationship with the user, especially fathers/mothers (PR: 2.00), low schooling, within a prevalence ratio of PR: 1.85 in the lowest stratum, presence of health problems (PR: 1.24); reporting neurological problems (PR: 3.02), low performance in the evaluation of the quality of life in the physical (PR: 1.84) and environmental (PR: 1.95) aspects, dissatisfaction with family relationships (PR: 1.56), lack of family support (PR: 1.25) and feeling of burden, with a prevalence ratio of PR: 2.61 among individuals with higher level of burden.
Review of Wheezing in Children in Maternity and Children Teaching Hospital in Al- Diwaniyah– Iraq

This is a review including the wheezing diseases in children, who hare attended the Outpatient Department and Emergency Department in the Maternity and Children Teaching hospital in Al-Diwaniyah, from 1/1/2006 to 31/12/2006. Our study shows that the total number of patients. attending the Outpatient Department tare more than the number of patients. in the Emergency Department and this is possibly due to the fact that a large number of them are mild cases and not required admission to the. emergency department Our study shows an increasing percentage of wheezing in children in winter seasons particularly January, February , due to increase incidence of acute respiratory diseases in these months. There are two peaks of number of patients. who are admitted to the Emergency Department for different age groups, first peak on January , and the second peak on October and this is due to increase incidence of acute respiratory disease.

Isolation, identification and quantification of gallic acid (gallotannins) through HPTLC in leaf galls of Madhuca longifolia (Koenig) j.f. Macb

Plant galls (cecidia) are pathologically produced cells, tissues, or organs of plants that have developed by hypertrophy and hyperplasia of plant tissues under the effect of gall causing organisms. Madhuca longifolia (Koenig) j.f Macb. is an economically and medicinally very important plant of the family Sapotaceae. It is a tropical mixed deciduous tree. Various galls due to insect infestation are found on almost all tree species. Leaf galls of Madhuca longifolia induced by insects of order Diptera and Hymenoptera represent a unique pattern of chemical perturbations which normally do not occur in normal leaf. During the present investigation, an accurate, fast and easy HPTLC method was followed for quantification of gallic acid occur in the normal leaf and dried leaf galls of the Madhuca longifolia plant. The protocol followed in this study resulted in an intense peak and was able to give a good resolution of gallic acid from normal leaf and galled tissues of Madhuca longifolia (Koenig) j.f. Macb. Adaxial leaf gall induced by insect Mohwadiplosis Orientalis Rao belonging to Diptera class, Marginal gall induced by another Dipteran and vein gall by chalcidoiid Hymenopteran class of insect. Variation in Gallic acid present in normal leaf and leaf galls of Madhuca longifolia was critically reported. It was found that Gallic acid content increased almost two folds in gall tissues as compared to normal leaf tissue. Galled leaf (Dipteran adaxial gall) had a maximum amount of Gallic acid (344.4 ng) while in normal leaf and another leaf galls had less amount of gallic acid was found (180ng). This study is of practical importance because gallic acid is the most important active phenolic acid, which may be correlated with post-infection biochemical defense. Compound gallic acid has been reported for the first time from leaf galls of Madhuca longifolia (Koenig) j. f. Macb. Plant in the study.
COMPARISON OF CONVENTIONAL METHOD, RADIOMETRIC METHOD AND METHOD USING OXIDATION-REDUCTION DYE FOR DETECTION OF MULTI DRUG RESISTANT TUBERCULOSIS

Today Tuberculosis (TB) has become the most important communicable disease in the world. The emergence of multidrug resistant (MDR) TB has become the main threat to TB treatment and control programs. Rapid detection of TB is critical for the effective treatment of patients. Recently, a method using the Oxidation - Reduction dye has been proposed for drug susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tuberculosis). In the present study, we have compared Drug Susceptibility Testing (DST) by conventional method, Radiometricmethod like BACTEC460TB (B460TB) System and Oxidation-Reduction Assay such as Microplate Alamar Blue Assay (MABA) for detection of MDR TB. Total 60 clinical isolates of M.tuberculosis were included in the study. The results obtained by MABA for DST of M.tuberculosis were compared with those obtained by B460TB system and Conventional method. DST results obtained by MABA showed good agreement with results obtained by B460TBsystem and Conventional method for Isoniazid and Rifampicin. In our study specificity and sensitivity for susceptible and resistant strain was found to be 98% and 100% for Rifampicin respectively and 100% and 95% for Isoniazid respectively for MABA.MABA appears to be a reliable method for the rapid and simultaneous detection of MDR-TB and DST of M. tuberculosis. It is simple and inexpensive method for DST of M.Tuberculosis with minimal biohazard risk.

Antibiofilm activity of Verbascum pinnatifidum Vahl. ethanolic extracts

Microbial biofilms pose health risks in clinical environments, food industry and drinking water systems. Microorganisms within biofilms more resistant to antibiotics and chemical agents than planktonic cells in suspension. New alternatives for controlling infections have been proposed focusing on the therapeutic properties of medicinal plants and their antibiofilm activities. Here, we investigated in vitro antibiofilm activities of ethanol extract of Verbascum pinnatifidum Vahl. for Escherichia coli NRRL B-3704, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Proteus vulgaris ATCC 13315, Acinetobacter baumanii ATCC 19606, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, S. haemolyticus ATCC 43252 and Candida albicans ATCC 10231 test microorganisms based on crystal violet binding assay. The highest antibiofilm activity against biofilm formed by B. subtilis ATCC 6633 and S. haemolyticus ATCC 43252 at lowest MIC value 2.5 and 10 µg/mL, respectively. The current findings indicated that biofilm forming of bacteria could be potentially being managed using V . pinnatifidum plant extracts.
Prospective comparative study of laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal versus Lichtenstein’s tension free open meshplasty for management of inguinal hernia

Inguinal hernia repair is one of the common surgical procedures performed worldwide. It usually presents as a lump, with or without discomfort, which may limit daily activities and work. They can occasionally be lifethreatening if bowel strangulates or becomes obstructed, requiring emergency surgery. Variety of repair exists for inguinal hernia. Surgery has transformed in the last decade by technology and by efforts to make surgical decision-making evidence based. But these changes were accelerated by the laparoscopic revolution, which promised less pain, improved cosmesis, and shorter disability. One of the procedures to have benefited immensely from minimal access surgery has been the repair of inguinal hernias. ABSTRACT
Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in Ephemera danica larvae under influence of a trout farm outlet waters

Trout farms are one of the major sources of pollution of highland streams and rivers. Since river sediment burdened with organic pollution binds greater amounts of heavy metals we investigated the influence of the trout farm on the accumulation of metals in the sediment, water and Ephemera danica larvae. Research was conducted seasonally (April, July, and October of 2015 and January of 2016) at one control locality (SK1) and three localities downstream from the farm (SK2–SK4). In agreement with the hypothesis the fish farm discharge induced localized and statistically significant increase of concentrations of Fe, Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb and Cd in sediment and E. danica larvae, but not in water at locality SK2 just below the fish farm indicating that sediment is the main source of heavy metals for this organism. However, according to the values of Biota sediment accumulation factor (BSAF) only metals with low sediment concentrations (As, Cd and Cu) accumulated in the larvae. Moreover, BASF values for toxic metals (As, Cd and Cr) showed negative correlation with their concentrations in sediment indicating existence of defense mechanisms in E. danica against assimilation of these metals in high concentrations lethal for it. On the other hand, BSAF values for essential microelements (Cu and Fe) were positively correlated with their sediment concentrations. In conclusion the trout farm induced accumulation of heavy metals in river sediment and E. danica larvae proved to be a good bioindicators of the pollution of river systems by As, Cd and Cu.

Diabetes improvement and bariatric surgery—review of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass vs. laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy

Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are globally escalating major health care issues. For both obesity and T2DM management, it has been well established that bariatric surgery is superior to lifestyle and medical management alone. Over the past two decades, the introduction of laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy (LVSG) has seen a marked rise in usage, and combined with laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB), these two procedures represent more than 80% of all bariatric surgeries globally. However, the differences in effectiveness between these two procedures have been less clearly defined. This article will serve as a focused review of the literature comparing LRYGB and LVSG for T2DM management. Based on our review, we believe that both procedures are very effective at improving T2DM care, especially compared with conventional medical management. However, there may be a modest benefit to be had by using LRYGB over LVSG.
Evaluating the Feed-in Tariff Policy in the Philippines

In order to address the challenges of energy security and climate change, the Philippines enacted the Renewable Energy (RE) Act of 2008 to promote renewable energy. The Philippine Feed-In Tariff (FiT) policy was designed to provide a guaranteed fixed price to RE investors for a period of twenty (20) years to develop renewable technology. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of the FiT policy in promoting renewable energy development in the Philippines by assessing its costs and benefits. Data show that while the FiT led to the increase in RE generating capacity, the share of renewable energy in the total power generation mix has been declining since 2011. The findings also suggest that the Philippines has incurred a net social cost from its implementation of the FiT.
Eyewitness metamemory predicts identification performance in biased and unbiased line‐ups

Purpose: Distinguishing accurate from inaccurate identifications is a challenging issue in the criminal justice system, especially for biased police line-ups. That is because biased line-ups undermine the diagnostic value of accuracy post-dictors such as confidence and decision time. Here, we aimed to test general and eyewitness-specific self-ratings of memory capacity as potential estimators of identification performance that are unaffected by line-up bias. Methods: Participants (N = 744) completed a metamemory assessment consisting of the Multifactorial Metamemory Questionnaire and the Eyewitness Metamemory Scale and took part in a standard eyewitness paradigm. Following the presentation of a mock-crime video, they viewed either biased or unbiased line-ups. Results: Self-ratings of discontentment with eyewitness memory ability were indicative of identification accuracy for both biased and unbiased line-ups. Participants who scored low on eyewitness metamemory factors also displayed a stronger confidence–accuracy calibration than those who scored high. Conclusions: These results suggest a promising role for self-ratings of memory capacity in the evaluation of eyewitness identifications, while also advancing theory on self-assessments for different memory systems.
Data-Driven C-RAN Optimization Exploiting Traffic and Mobility Dynamics of Mobile Users

The surging traffic volumes and dynamic user mobility patterns pose great challenges for cellular network operators to reduce operational costs and ensure service quality. Cloud-radio access network (C-RAN) aims to address these issues by handling traffic and mobility in a centralized manner, separating baseband units (BBUs) from base stations (RRHs) and sharing BBUs in a pool. The key problem in C-RAN optimization is to dynamically allocate BBUs and map them to RRHs under cost and quality constraints, since real-world traffic and mobility are difficult to predict, and there are enormous numbers of candidate RRH-BBU mapping schemes. In this work, we propose a data-driven framework for C-RAN optimization. First, we propose a deep-learning-based Multivariate long short term memory (MuLSTM) model to capture the spatiotemporal patterns of traffic and mobility for accurate prediction. Second, we formulate RRH-BBU mapping with cost and quality objectives as a set partitioning problem, and propose a resource-constrained label-propagation (RCLP) algorithm to solve it. We show that the greedy RCLP algorithm is monotone suboptimal with worst-case approximation guarantee to optimal. Evaluations with real-world datasets from Ivory Coast and Senegal show that our framework achieves a BBU utilization above 85.2 percent, with over 82.3 percent of mobility events handled with high quality, outperforming the traditional and the state-of-the-art baselines.
ASSESSMENT OF MEDICATION KNOWLEDGE, MEDICATION ADHERENCE AND HEALTH RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE (HRQoL) AMONG OUT PATIENTS IN TERTIARY CARE CARDIAC HOSPITAL

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in India. Adherence to medication has been shown to reduce mortality and rate of hospital readmissions. Medication adherence as well as patient’s medication knowledge is also an important factor in validation and management of chronic illness. HRQoL indicates patient’s perceptions of their general, physical, mental health status and describes health burden in a population. Hence the aim of this was to assess the level of medication adherence, barrier to medication compliance, association between knowledge about medication and medication adherence and health related quality of life among CVD patients. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted for a period3 months. Interview questionnaires for socio-demographic and clinical characteristics as well as the HRQoL, medication adherence, medication knowledge were used to collect data from 211 patients from the cardiovascular unit of Frontier Lifeline Hospital. Result: Of the study population 59% were male and had a mean age of 58 years. The majority of participants (53%) were taking more than five medications. 34% of the study population had low adherence towards medication intake. The physical component of HRQOoL revealed that 28% of the participants had low scores in physical functioning, bodily pain and general health domains. Conclusion: Medication adherence may be a surrogate marker of Health Related Quality of Life among patients and hence health care providers should identify patients with poor medication adherence and monitor their medication use. Keywords: Medication Adherence, HRQoL , Medication Knowledge , Cardiovascular Patients
Opinion of the Scientific Committee on Survival, spread and establishment of the small hive beetle (Aethina tumida)

The small hive beetle (SHB) is still present in Calabria one year after its first detection in September 2014. Detailed epidemiological studies would improve our knowledge of the survival, spread and establishment of the pest. Movement of an infested hive could spread SHB rapidly over large distances. Modelling of SHB spread in absence of movement of hives, suggests that natural spread of the beetle alone will take more than hundred years to reach Abruzzo from Calabria (around 250 km). A model considering the ownership of multiple apiaries per beekeeper indicates that spread would be 10 times faster. Opportunity maps indicate that, once introduced, the SHB could complete its life cycle in all EU Member States between May and September. It is recommended that restrictions on the movement of honey bees, bumblebees and commodities from infested to non-infested areas be maintained until SHB is eradicated, to prevent spread of the pest. Strengthening visual inspection, preventing infestation using a fine mesh and issuing a health certificate for intra-EU trade of queen bees, within 24 hours before dispatch, could reduce the risk of SHB transmission via consignments. In general, visual inspection of the beehive, as described in this document, is the preferred method of detecting SHB. Traps could help to detect and reduce SHB infestation levels. Maintaining good honey house hygiene and good beekeeping practices are the most important measures to control SHB where eradication is no longer the objective, given that no approved veterinary medicine is available in the EU. A field experiment found natural infestation of commercial bumblebee (Bombus impatiens) colonies placed next to SHB-infested honey bee hives. However, there are no data published on SHB infestation in natural bumblebee colonies. Studies are needed of the capacity of B. terrestris, occurring in Europe, to act as a SHB host.
