An investigation of infection rate and seasonal effect level in total joint replacement cases

This study aims at evaluating gender, age range and seasonal differences in patients who developed articular infection after undergoing joint prosthesis in our clinic. This study is a retrospective screening of advanced articular arthrosis patients who had undergone total joint arthroplasty of the upper and lower extremities between 2009 and 2016. Of 504 patients who had been treated with total joint replacement, our study includes 468 patients we could follow up or contact by phone and who had been applied 559 primary or revision total knee arthroplasty. The mean age of these patients was 58.9 (ranging from 41 to 74). We detected infection in 22 (3.9%) total joint arthroplasty patients. Of these 14 (63.63%) were females and 8 (36.36) were males. There was no statistically significant difference between infection rates in terms of seasonal distribution nor gender or age range. In the light of our findings, we concluded that gender, age range and seasonal differences have no effect on infection rates in total joint replacement cases.
The effect of body placement site on ActiGraph wGT3X-BT activity counts

Purpose. When the ActiGraph GT3X is worn on the hip, y-axis and vector magnitude (VM) counts level off at running speeds over 10 kph. Currently, it is not known if the counts level off when the device is worn on the wrist or ankle. Thus, the primary purpose of this study was to determine if ActiGraph counts level off with increasing running speeds at the wrist and ankle. Methods. Participants (N = 20) completed ten treadmill walking and running speeds (3–20 kph) for 30 s each. An ActiGraph wGT3X-BT was worn on the right hip, both wrists, and both ankles. Acceleration data for x-, y-and z-axes and VM were converted to 5 s epochs. Repeated measures analyses of variance were used to assess differences across speeds for each axis and VM for each wear location. Pair-wise comparisons with Bonferroni adjustments were performed to determine where differences occurred. Pearson correlations were used to assess the association between counts and speed. Results. Hip y-axis and VM counts increased significantly with speeds up to 10 kph and significantly decreased at speeds beyond 14 and 16 kph, respectively. However, at the wrists and ankles, significant increases in counts were seen for y-axis and VM counts across all running speeds. Conclusion. When worn on the wrist or ankle, ActiGraph y-axis and VM counts do not level off as is seen with the hip location. Wearing the ActiGraph on the wrist or ankle results in a stronger, more linear relationship between speed and counts than wearing it on the hip, and should result in more accurate estimations of energy expenditure for running speeds above 10 kph.
Effectiveness of Topical Alprostadil for the Treatment of Female Sexual Arousal Disorder

Background: Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a vast problem in the medical community and in the world. It affects more than just sexual experiences of women and their partners, but also vitality and many other aspects of health. Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD) is one subcategory of FSD disorders. Since arousal has been found to be a key component in the female sexual response cycle, possible treatments would ideally target local arousal. Topical alprostadil has been proposed to be a vasodilator and could possibly affect chemoreceptors locally in the genitalia. Thus, it is a probable treatment for the many women who live with FSAD. Methods: An exhaustive search of available medical literature was conducted utilizing MEDLINE-Ovid, CINAHL, and Web of Science.
Pura as a Fortress in Balinese Religious Traditional Architecture Building

Several researchers believe that Pura- a Hindu temple- in Bali is not just merely a place of worship. In Sanskrit that word means a fortress, while several early investigations show that the pura is sharing several same characteristics with the fortress by design. High fences, small entrance, limited access and also the existence of observation tower was among the characteristics. The aim of this study is to proof that the pura architecture was not something brought from Majapahit, but on the contrary is an architecture built in the land of Bali by the Majapahit priest Danghyang Nirartha, after the fall of Majapahit to be a fortress, to avoid any acts and values came from outside to infiltrate the Hindu culture in Bali. The Architectural survey method was chosen to bring about any knowledge regarding this issue, while as samples 3 pura around Denpasar was chosen to represent the pura of southern part of Bali where the architecture was developed in the past. The result of this paper is a description of how the now place of worship can be developed from some thought as a result of political event in the past and as the conclusion, through the years it became a common pattern within the people of Bali.
A new analytical pipeline for the study of the onset of mammary gland oncogenesis based on mammary organoid transplantation and organ clearing

Metastasis formation is a multi-step process starting from the dissemination of transformed carcinomatous cells from the primary tumor and could occur at a very early stage of oncogenesis, before primary tumor detection. The adult mammary gland provides a unique model to investigate epithelial cell dissemination processes. Tissue clearing techniques allow imaging samples of large volume. uDSICO clearing, one of the latest tissue clearing technique developed, provides optical imaging of whole organ due to organ clearing and tissue size reduction. We wanted to take advantage of this technique to study rare events occurring in vivo. Here, we have established a new analytical pipeline exploiting the regenerative properties of the mammary epithelium following orthotropic transplantation of organoids together with the uDISCO organ size reduction and clearing method to study early cell dissemination in the mammary gland. As proof of concept, we analyzed the localization of epithelial cells overexpressing the oncogenic protein atypical protein kinase C iota (aPKCi+) in the normal mammary gland and we were able to visualize epithelial aPKCi+ cells, surrounded by normal epithelial cells, escaping from the normal mammary epithelium and disseminating into the surrounding stroma.
Optimizing diagnostic strategy for novel coronavirus pneumonia, a multi-center study in Eastern China

COVID-19 caused by a novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 emerged in Wuhan, Hubei province since December 2019, and caused a rapid outbreak throughout China and globally. Cities outside Hubei are also facing great challenge and require implementing of effective and feasible strategy in precision diagnosing novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP). We described a multicenter prospective study on diagnostic strategy of suspected NCP patients from January 22nd to February 9th, 2020 in Eastern China cities. Nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from the patients. The epidemiological characteristics, clinical symptoms, laboratory assessments, and computed tomographic (CT) scans were obtained. Pathogen screen were performed including RT-PCR, multiplex PCR, rapid flu antigen tests and mNGS. We enrolled 53 suspected NCP patients, among whom 20 were laboratory-confirmed. Fourteen (70%) and 3 (15%) patients were positive for the first and second SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test, respectively. All NCP patients were positive for mNGS. Chest CT images and the symptoms of early stage NCP patients were similar to other viral pneumonia patients. We identified 11 of 20 co-infections in NCP cases, including regular respiratory virus, fungi and bacteria synchronously. Genomic analysis showed that 8 of 10 cases had no mutation in virus genome, while 2 cases had only one single mutation in N gene. Our study discovered that a combination of chest CT, SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR and multi-plex PCR is recommended in regions outside Hubei province. Co-infection of other pathogens with SARS-CoV-2 exists and should be acknowledged. Repeated sampling, change of specimen type or metagenomics sequencing could further facilitate during critical clinical cases.

Probiotics: A New Horizon for Treating Childhood Diarrhea in Bangladesh

Objectives: Probiotics are microbial cell preparations or living organisms that have a beneficial effect on the health and well being of the host. Probiotics may offer a safe intervention in acute infectious childhood diarrhea to reduce the duration and severity of the illness. In many places, probiotics are overused or misused and often given without professional jurisdiction. The present study was designed to analyze prescription patterns of probiotics in rural area of Bangladesh and to assess the effects of probiotics in proven or presumed infectious childhood diarrhea. Material and Methods: This study was conducted at Manikganj district hospital of Bangladesh from October to December 2016 to accumulate data from 430 respondents. The data were collected by taking prescription details from patients or their relatives by face to face interview with them who were willing to respond. Statistical analysis was performed using statistical software package SPSS, version 23. Results: According to current study oral rehydration therapy was found as a cornerstone for treating pediatric diarrhea. In addition, it was observed that average 3.2 drugs prescribed per encounter and more than 26.4% prescriptions contained probiotic products. Approximately 35% probiotics were prescribed by pediatricians. Bacillus and Lactobacillus were found to be the most frequently prescribed probiotic species for treating childhood diarrhea in Bangladesh. Both antibiotics and probiotics were prescribed to one-third of pediatric patients suffering from diarrhea. Only oral solid (63.7%) and oral liquid (36.3%) were prescribed as probiotic products for pediatric patients. Conclusion: It is hoped that the outputs of the present study on probiotics will be used as a science-based assessment tool for managerial decisions on probiotics. This study will help to develop the guidelines and a practical model for the industry to scientifically evaluate probiotics in food. As a national priority, it is expected that these outputs will be useful for the government policy makers to evaluate probiotics on health benefits and the study results can also be used as a scientific tool for the assessment of this new therapeutic option.
Parenting in cerebral palsy: where and when the challenges and needs occur?

Cerebral Palsy is considered the most common physical disorder in childhood. It is a neurodevelopmental disorder, caused by a brain injury that occurs in pre, post or natal periods with movement and posture impact. Parenting a child with these clinical features brings challenges such as additional parenting tasks and also requires, for example, the need for further educational information. The present study aimed to identify the parenting challenges and needs faced by parents of children with cerebral palsy attending elementary school. For this, a qualitative approach was used with a sample of 11 participants who responded to a semi-structured interview centered on their experience of educating a child with Cerebral Palsy. The interviews were analyzed according to a thematic analysis approach. Four themes were identified: (1) Challenges experienced by parents, (2) Parental need for information, (3) Parental need for support, and (4) Parental need for personal well-being. It was also possible to identify the context(s) and period(s) of the children's development in which these challenges and associated needs occur. Findings are expected to contribute to identify good practices and benefit the parenting experience of parents of children with cerebral palsy.
A Eco-friendly management of seed borne mycoflora of Mustard (Brassica sp.) through botanicals and determination of antifungal activity by SEM.

The study was planned to investigate the efficiency of Plant extract of Moringa oleifera against, Datura stramonium , Azadirachta indica and Corton bonplandianum against some seed born fungi (Aspergillus sp., Rhizopus sp., Fusarium sp., Alternaria sp., Cochleobolus sp., Rhizoctonia sp.) isolated from oil seed (Jhumi) using standard microbiological procedures and to investigate effectiveness of plant extract on seed borne mycoflora by SEM study. The process well diffusion method is used to study the efficacy of Plant extract. The extracts were poured into the wells at different concentrations like 50mg/ml, 100mg/ml, 200mg/ml and 400mg/ml. After incubation zones of inhibition was carried out by agar plate observed. As the concentrations of extracts increased the activity also increased and thus the zones of inhibition too increase. Hence Moringa oleifera, Datura stramonium, Azadirachta indica and Corton bonplandianum can be used against various seed born fungal disease.
Lactate as a monitoring tool in equine medicine.

Sia in medicina umana che equina, si è osservato un crescente interesse per l’impiego delle concentrazioni ematiche dei lattati come strumento di monitoraggio. L’avvento dei misuratori portatili ha trasformato il monitoraggio dei lattati “in box” in una realtà per i professionisti, rendendo questa valutazione più disponibile ed utile come test nei pazienti equini. Il lattato, che costituisce la forma ionizzata dell’acido lattico, è stato identificato come indicatore prognostico sia nell’uomo che nel cavallo e si è osservato un crescente interesse per la sua “clearance” come potenziale indicatore prognostico nella popolazione dei pazienti in condizioni critiche.
Redefining ‘me’: identity change among female Saudi study abroad students in Australia

ABSTRACT For female Saudi students undertaking study in Australia, the transition from living in a traditional, collective environment to a secular and more liberal society means that these students must navigate a new culture with highly different gender norms. As Saudi women negotiate this cultural divide, some may strengthen their existing identities and retain strong links to their home community and its norms, while others may modify their personal and social identities through exposure to the new culture. This study explores how five female Saudi students have experienced identity change during their time in Australia. Through in-depth interviews, participants shared their experiences studying in Australia and their views on their evolving understandings of what it means for them to be Saudi, women, wives, and mothers. How study abroad gives these women opportunities to modify their cultural and gender identities is explored, with key points of analysis including how participants are renegotiating their gender roles within their new environment, the ways in which participants are reinterpreting Islamic teachings to meet their developing identity needs, and how the identity changes cultivated through exposure to a new culture are contributing to a desire for both personal and social change upon their return to Saudi.
Microbiological profile of patients attending sexually transmitted infection/reproductive tract infection clinic in a tertiary care hospital

of adequate laboratory infrastructure, there is limited Hence, information regarding essentially on syndromic ABSTRACT Background: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)/reproductive tract infections (RTIs) are an important public health problem worldwide. Growing spread of RTIs/STIs are an augmenting factor for HIV transmission. Due to lack of adequate laboratory infrastructure, there is limited data. Hence information regarding STIs lies essentially on syndromic basis. Methods: This was an observational, cross-sectional study carried from June 2016 to September 2016 with sample size of 300 patients attending STI/RTI clinic. Various samples were collected like scrapings, exudates and swabs from ulcerative lesions for microscopy. Urethral, vaginal and cervical swabs for wet mount, gram stain and culture. Blood sample were collected for RPR, TPHA, ELISA HSV II, HIV, HBsAg. Processing and identification of organism as per NACO guidelines. Results: Out of total 300 cases, 255 (85%) are females and 45 (15%) are males. Maximum cases are from 25-44 years age group. Genital discharge syndrome is more common in females while genital ulcerative syndrome more in males. Coinfection with HIV is found in 17% cases. Herpes genitals (20%) is the most common causative agent for ulcerative STIs in males. VDS is the most common syndrome in Females. Candida (27.8%), G. vaginalis (12.2%) and T. vaginalis (3.5%). Conclusions: Viral and fungal STIs are more common than bacterial STIs. Targeted intervention and contact tracing as done for HIV should be effectively emphasised for STI/RTI also. Syndromic approach should be supplemented by Laboratory diagnosis for more effective outcome.

The Impact of Self-Learning on the Improvement of Neonatal Resuscitation Knowledge and Skills among Nurses

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Neonatal resuscitation training for healthcare workers can prevent pregnancyrelated mortality and reduce disability among birth asphyxia survivors. Since the participation of nurses in workshops is not always possible for recertification, in this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of self-learning, using the new edition of neonatal resuscitation textbook on the improvement of nurses’ skills and knowledge in this area. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 58 nurses at Babol hospitals, who had received the neonatal resuscitation certificate less than two years ago, were provided with the new edition of neonatal resuscitation textbook (published in 2011). Practical training was performed under the supervision of a trained instructor at the skill laboratory. After eight weeks, a knowledge test was performed based on the textbook, and Megacode skill test was carried out, using the skill assessment checklist in the textbook. The scores were rated as follows: poor (<17), acceptable (17-19), and favorable (> 19). Afterwards, the mean scores of the previous workshop and self-learning were compared. FINDINGS: The comparison of knowledge scores revealed that 39.4% and 56.9% of the subjects obtained favorable scores in the previous workshop and self-learning (p=0.27), 10.4% and 36.2% obtained acceptable scores (p=0.05), and 44.8% and 6.8% had poor scores (p=0.0002), respectively. Moreover, the comparison of skill scores showed that 48.3% and 34.5% of the subjects obtained favorable scores in the previous workshop and self-learning (p=0.33), 34.5% and 43.1% had acceptable scores (p=0.052), and 17.2% and 22.3% obtained poor scores (p=0.56), respectively. CONCLUSION: Based on the obtained results, self-learning is more effective in improving theoretical knowledge rather than practical skills. Therefore, participation in skill workshops is recommended for the improvement of neonatal resuscitation skills.

Understanding Diatoms’ Past and Future Biogeochemical Role in High‐Latitude Seas

Because cold‐water diatoms’ baseline elemental density (BED) is substantially higher than temperate diatoms, previous polar studies may have underestimated diatoms’ contribution to elemental standing stocks, contribution to particulate organic carbon (POC) export and incorrectly modeled their susceptibility to future warming. We apply cold‐water diatom allometry to Arctic field samples and derive diatom growth rates ranging from 0.01–0.68 day−1, versus unrealistically high rates estimated using temperate diatom allometry. Reanalysis of published Southern Ocean data (Antarctic Environment and Southern Ocean Process Study and European Iron Fertilization Experiment) shows that diatom POC was significantly underestimated and diatoms could have accounted for a majority of POC export. However, during some field programs (Kerguelen Plateau), temperate allometry properly accounted for diatom biomass. We also predict that warming sea surface temperature may alter high‐latitude diatom BED, suggesting that even if abundances do not change with warming, the reduced diatom BED will likely lower the trophic‐transfer efficiency and their total carbon flow to consumers.
