Prevalence of JAK2V617F, CALR in Philadelphia Positive and Negative Myeloproliferative Neoplasm

Background: Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are heterogeneous disorders with a variety of genetic abnormalities. We aim to assess the prevalence of Calreticulin (CALR) and JAK2 mutations in Iranian MPNs. Materials and Methods: In a cross-sectional study, CALR and JAK2 mutations among 130 MPNs patients, including 78 Philadelphia chromosome-negative (MPN-) and 52 Philadelphia chromosome-positive (MPN+) as well as 51 healthy control subjects, were investigated by GAP-PCR. Results: In MPN- group JAK2 and CALR gene mutations were found in 64.1% and 7.7%, respectively, that 5.1% were positive for both mutations, and 2.6% had only CALR mutation. In polycythemia vera (PV) patients 90% had JAK2 mutation, which was significantly higher than other MPN- or MPN+ patients. Most of the MPN+ patients had neither mutation in CALR nor JAK2 (70% CALR-/JAK2-). Among all patients’ groups, the prevalence of CALR+ mutation in either rs1450785140 (4 cases) or rs765476509 (5 cases) position was not statistically different. Conclusion: These results showed a low prevalence of CALR mutations in all types of MPNs in the Iranian population that its frequency may influence by ethnicity and genetic diversity. CALR mutation may be seen in JAK2 negative cases, also. The PV had the highest JAK2 mutation with a 90 percent positivity rate among MPNs cases. [GMJ.2021;10:e2127]

Level of Nigerian Cadets' Satisfaction on the Services of Lyceum International

Satisfaction characterizes the quality of products and services that the organization delivers to its customers that serves as the basis for continuous improvement. The study primarily aimed to investigate the level of satisfaction of Nigerian students in relation to administration, instruction, facilities, and securities. Descriptive type of research was utilized in the study. Results showed that Nigerian students were moderately satisfied in the LIMA Administration, academic instruction and facilities while they were fairly satisfied in the LIMA Security. The demand of foreign students to have competitive edge by studying abroad includes that the services of an educational institution wherein these students are enrolled should meet the satisfaction of these students in all key areas of administration, instruction, facilities and security; otherwise such institution has to take appropriate action and measure to improvement its services.
Study of Outcomes of Desarda Repair in Emergency Conditions of Inguinal Hernia

Background There are two types of hernias in men and women: inguinal hernias and abdominal hernias. Inguinal hernias can be treated with the Desarda technique, a suture-based procedure that is becoming more popular. Objective: improving inguinal hernia repair outcomes by avoiding complications caused by foreign bodies. Patients and Methods: 40 male patients with difficult inguinal hernias were studied in the General Surgery Department of the Faculty of Medicine, Zagazig University Hospital, as part of a prospective study. Six months of follow-up took place from September 2020 to November 2021. Experienced and trained surgeons performed Desarda method procedures on patients. Pain and gait were measured at each follow-up. Results: Twenty-seven of the studied patients had no postoperative complications. Wound infection, seroma and scrotal edema occurred in 5, 6 and 2 of the patients respectively. A statistically significant difference in postoperative Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores was found between the groups tested (significantly higher among strangulated hernia). In terms of postoperative complications, the two groups analyzed differ significantly. In cases with obstructed hernia, non-complicated hernias accounted for 23, while strangulated hernias accounted for four. Conclusion: The Desarda approach appears to be a viable alternative to current practices. There are no problems or hernia recurrences as a result of this procedure, which is rapid, uncomplicated, and easy to learn and conduct.
In Vitro Potential of the Acetone Leaf Extract and Fractions of Psychotria capensis (Eckl.) Vatke (Rubiaceae) to Combat Co-Infection of Tuberculosis and Helminthiasis

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease of global importance that affects millions of people. Approximately a quarter of the world’s population is currently infected with M. tuberculosis, and about 10% of those infected will develop into active disease, particularly immune compromised individuals. Helminthiasis is of global health importance, affecting over 2 billion people mostly in resource-poor countries. Co-infection with tuberculosis (TB) and helminths (worms) is an emerging global public health concern with both affecting about one-third of the global population. Chronic infection with helminths can result in impaired immune responses to TB as well as enhancing failure to TB therapy and BCG vaccination. Antimycobacterial and anthelmintic activities of the acetone extract and fractions of Psychotria capensis were evaluated, including their in vitro safety. In addition, the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effect of the fractions and crude extract of P. capensis were assessed. Antimycobacterial activity of the extract and fractions was tested against four non-tuberculous mycobacteria (Mycobacterium smegmatis, M. fortuitum, M. aurum, M. bovis BCG) and pathogenic M. tuberculosis H37Rv while the Egg Hatch Assay (EHA) was used for the anthelmintic test on eggs of Haemonchus contortus. Cytotoxicity was determined against Vero kidney cells while in vitro immune modulation via cytokine production was determined on activated macrophages. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of the Psychotria capensis acetone extract and fractions ranged from 39 to 1,250 μg/ml with the crude extract and hexane fraction having the best MIC values (both 39 μg/ml). In the EHA, the inhibitory concentration (IC50) ranged from 160 to 630 μg/ml with the hexane fraction having the best activity. The hexane and chloroform fractions were relatively non-toxic with LC50 values of 290 and 248 μg/ml respectively, while the acetone crude extract (64 μg/ml) and n-butanol fraction (71 μg/ml) were moderately toxic. The SI values (LC50/MIC) ranged from 0.1 to 7.4 with the hexane fraction having the highest value against M. smegmatis (7.4). The hexane fraction had the best dual anthelmintic and antimycobacterial activity. This fraction had the best NO inhibitory activity and was the least cytotoxic, indicating that its activity was not due to general metabolic toxicity, with 96.54% cell viability. Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-12p70 were upregulated while IL-10 expression was inhibited by the extracts. Compounds were detected using GC-MS analysis, and in both the crude acetone extract and the hexane fraction was the diterpene neophytadiene, which has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity. Finding alternative or complementary approaches to dealing with TB infections by, amongst other things, reducing the incidence of helminth infestations may lessen the burden of TB, contributing to slowing the spread of multi-drug resistance.
Case Report: Sudden Fatal Hemorrhage in Ulcerative Fungal Laryngotracheitis—A Pediatric Case Report

In this report, we describe an autopsy case of a child affected by acute lymphoblastic leukemia and opportunistic pulmonary aspergillosis. The patient died because of a full-thickness tracheal wall ulceration with right inferior thyroid artery lesion and sudden hemorrhage, likely ascribable to undiagnosed invasive Aspergillus laryngotracheitis. Aspergillus infection, particularly in immunocompromised patients, should be considered an urgent risk factor to manage as it may lead to sudden fatal events in absence of evident critical symptoms.
Growth performance of major carps during exposure of zinc and bioaccumulation in fish body organs

Growth is an index of metals influence on a fish. This investigation aimed to determine growth responses of major carps viz. Catla catla , Labeo rohita and Cirrhina mrigala during exposure to sublethal concentration to zinc. The variations among fish age, species, treatment (zinc) of growth parameters viz. weight increment, fork lengths, and condition factor were statistically significant at P<0.01. The control fish age group 90,120,150 and 180 day showed better feed conversion ratio 0.234, 0.168, 0.132 and 0.29 as compared to that of zinc exposed fish which showed range 0.01 to 0.23. Three fish species showed significantly higher amount of zinc in liver than other organs. Labeo rohita showed significantly higher trend for zinc accumulation in body organs than as compared to Cirrhina mrigala and Catla catla . Among body organs; skin, muscle, scales displayed significantly lesser trend for zinc accumulation. It is concluded that metal intoxication significantly reduced the growth of all three fish species and may also show good indicator of metals present in surrounding environment.
Relationship between Nutritional Status and Cognitive Performance among Primary School Students

A satisfactory diet is necessary for normal brain progress. Healthily nutrition is important especially at critical growth stages. Throughout childhood, under-nutrition causes children to have poor energy, which has adverse effects on cognitive development and academic performance. Under-nutrition also affects physical growth and maturation, therefore affecting growth rate, body weight, and final height. The present study is aimed to assess the nutritional status and cognitive performances in some schoolage children (72119 months). The present study is done on 51 students 25 boys and 26 girls with a mean age of 95.75±1.77 months. All students from cities Giza government. The mean average body weight, body height, BMI, and MUA were 23.65± 0.44 kg, 122.79±0.9 cm, Rania A.Bassuoni Laila Hussein Magda S.Mohamed Zeinab M.Monir and Ashraf A.AbdEl-Megeid 50 15.62±0.14kg/m, and 18.63±0.33cm respectively. The mean average intake of total energy, protein, fat, and carbohydrate was 1185.02±29.12 kcal, 39.19±0.99 g, 39.40±1.27g, and 141.88±3.47 g respectively. The mean average intake of some minerals (Iodine, Iron, Selenium, and Zinc) was 83.08±5. 47μg, 10.45±0.56 mg, and 49.32±2. 05μg and 4.75±0.19 mg respectively. The mean average intake of some vitamins (Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, and Vitamin C) was 293.83±23.24 R.E, 0.41±0.04 mg, 0.47±0.03 mg, and 16.51±0.97mg respectively. Some biochemical analyses were done, the mean average urinary iodine was 155.29±3. 53μg/l, and blood hemoglobin was 11.49±0.07 g/dl. The Wechsler tests were done to calculate student intelligence quotient (IQ), the mean average of verbal IQ was 98.43±0.99, the mean average of performance IQ was 95.09±0.42, and the mean average of total IQ was 96.69±0.42. From these results, it could be concluded that nutritional status may affect cognitive development, and the interventions and dietary supplements may improve cognitive abilities in children.
PREDICTION OF FLAP SIDE EDGE NOISE

This paper presents a model for noise generation by flow separation in the flap side edge regions of aircraft high lift systems. The model is based on the concept that complex flow features such as shear layer instabilities that cause flow separation generate noise by producing unsteady vorticity fluctuations. These vorticity fluctuations are modeled here by unsteady nonlinear motions of discrete vortices, representing shear layers in real flows, and by dynamic vortex shedding from the sharp comers of the flap side edges, modeling vorticity production by flow separation. The model calculates the near field flow fluctuations, including unsteady pressures on the flap surfaces, which are then used to compute the far field radiation. Both unsteady surface pressures and far field predictions are compared with available test data, which shows very good agreement in the dominant trends, such as frequency characteristics and flow Mach number dependence.
Effect of Foot Reflexology Massage versus Benson Relaxation Technique on Physiological Parameters and Pain after Open Heart Surgery

Background: physiological instability and pain are among the most common problems of patients post open heart surgery. Many studies reported that non-pharmacological and complementary interventions improve physiological instability reduce post-operative pain; therefor current study aimed to study the effect of foot reflexology massage versus Benson relaxation technique on physiological parameters and pain after open heart surgery, Study design: A randomized controlled trial was used . Methods: the study was carried at Cardio-Thoracic intensive care unit (CTCU) at Assuit Heart University Hospital. Subject: the study performed on 90 patients, they were divided into three groups (foot reflexology, Benson relaxation and control group). Two tools were used: patient's assessment sheet and Assessment of Chest pain intensity. Results: a statistically significant difference between the groups was reported in terms of all physiological variables (P=0.001) after applying foot reflexology and Benson relaxation and the improvement were more significant in reflexology group than Benson group. Also a statistically significant difference between the groups was reported in relation to pain intensity. Conclusion Foot reflexology and Benson relaxation significantly improved the physiological status and pain of patients after open heart surgery. So, it recommended applying a training program for critical care nurses on open heart surgery units on foot reflexology technique and Benson’s relaxation technique to be able to use them as a part of routine nursing care for patients.
KAZAKHSTAN’S NUCLEAR GOVERNANCE AS A FOREIGN POLICY ASSET

Kazakhstan’s nonproliferation initiatives are recognized worldwide. Kazakhstan is a party to almost all major nuclear treaties, a key driver in the creation of a Central Asian nuclear-weapon-free zone, initiated the Universal Declaration on Building a World Free of Nuclear Weapons, established a low-enriched uranium bank under the auspices of the IAEA in Ust-Kamenogorsk to be used for peaceful purposes in the event of a disruption in the supply of fuel for nuclear power plants.While the foreign policy acts of Kazakhstan in non-proliferation are well known and internationally appreciated, the transfer of Kazakh experience in the governance of the nuclear sector is lesser known asset. For example, the experience of the Committee for Atomic and Energy Supervision and Control and KAZATOMPROM in uranium mining and transport was shared with countries from the Southern African Development Community, under an EU project, implemented by the International Science and Technology Center. This example reveals the great potential this themes have for the further input of Kazakhstan in international development cooperation.
Affect and psychological well-being in spouses of cancer patients: the mediating role of meaning in life and self-efficacy

The examination of the psychological functioning of cancer patients’ spouses implies that affect and personal resources play an important role in their psychological well-being. This is a consequence of the severe stress caused by the medical conditions of a spouse and of responsibilities related to caregiving. This study aimed to examine the role of affect and purpose-oriented personal resources (meaning in life and self-efficacy) in shaping psychological well-being in the spouses of cancer patients. The participants were 214 spouses of gastrointestinal patients who were either undergoing medical treatment in hospital units or attending scheduled clinic appointments at outpatient medical clinics. The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS-X), Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWB), Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ), and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) were used. The results indicated that positive affect was positively correlated with meaning in life, self-efficacy, and psychological well-being. In contrast, negative affect was negatively correlated with positive affect, meaning in life, self-efficacy, and psychological well-being. The mediation analyses demonstrated that meaning in life and self-efficacy were mediators between positive and negative affect and psychological well-being. The mediating function of meaning in life and self-efficacy revealed the significant role of personal resources based on purpose and self-motivation in the relationship between affect and psychological well-being. Positive and negative affect can influence motivational processes that enable patients and their families to constructively deal with challenging and illness-related situations. Caregivers and medical staff could take into account the important role of purpose-oriented resources as they affect the functioning of both patients and their families.
EFFECT OF LOW CRUDE PROTEIN DIETS FORTIFIED BY LYSINE AND METHIONINE WITH PHYTASE ON PRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE AND SOME PHYSIOLOGICAL TRAITS OF BROILER CHICKS

his experiment was conducted to study the effect of using low crud protein level fortified by lysine and methionine with or without microbial phytase on growth, feed utilization, carcass characteristics, blood constituents and economic efficiency of broiler chicks. Corn – soy bean basal diet was formulated to 23 21 – 19 % CP and 3000 3100 – 3200 kcal ME / Kg diet, used during starter, grower and finisher experimental periods. While, the second group fed low crud protein 3% points (20 – 1816 % CP) and lysine (Lys) and methionine (Met) level containing diets 90% with 500 FTU phytase during experimental periods compared to control basal diet, whereas the third groups fed 2 diets without phytase respectively, the fourth and fifth groups received the same diet fortified by lysine and methionine 100% from the requirements of strain recommendation with or without phytase supplemented respectively. While, groups 6 and 7 fortified their diet by Lys and Met up to 110% from the requirements of strain recommendation with or without phytase supplemented respectively. A total of 315 unsexed day-old Ross × Ross 308 broiler chicks were randomly distributed into 7 groups of similar chick numbers. The criteria considered were live body weight (LBW), body weight gain (BWG), relative growth rate (RGR), feed consumption (FC) and conversion ratio (FCR), protein intake, metabolizable energy intake and utilization (MEU), lysine intake (Lys.I), methionine intake (Met.I), slaughter characteristics and blood constituents. The economic efficiency of the product was also calculated. The obtained data showed that reducing the protein concentration resulted in (LBW), (BWG), (RGR), (FC), (FCR), protein efficiency ratio (PER), protein conversion ratio (PCR), MEU), (Lys.I), (Met.I), Liver weight, relative weight of dressing and abdominal fat, serum total protein and albumin, net return (NR) and economic efficiency significantly increased by fortified Lys & Met with phytase supplementation than other groups. The results indicate that it is possible to reduce crude protein diets by 3% and fortified Lys & Met in starter, grower or finisher broiler chicken rations with adding phytase to these rations without negative effect on growth performance, feed utilization, carcass characteristics and blood constituents.
