AN ASSESSMENT INTO THE DIAGNOSTIC VALUE OF ULTRASOUND IN THE FIRST TRIMESTER OF PREGNANCY BLEEDING
Authors: Mukherjee Tarak Nath
Published: October 2021

Background: One of the most prevalent obstetric issues is vaginal bleeding in the first trimester. It's also one of the most prevalent reasons for emergency admissions, as well as a reason for ultra-sound evaluation in the first trimester. In the first trimester, over a quarter of all pregnant female experience bleeding.

Aims and objective: The purpose of this research was to determine the diagnostic value of ultra-sonography in first-trimester haemorrhage.

Materials and method: All pregnant female who experienced per vaginal bleeding during the first trimester were included in this research. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to assess all of the selected instances. To arrive at a clinical opinion, a full history and comprehensive clinical evaluation were undertaken, including general, systemic, per abdominal, and per vaginal evaluations. In all of the cases that were chosen, ultra-sonography was used. The results of the clinical evaluation and ultra-sonography were documented.

Results: On clinical evaluation, 164 cases of threatened abortion were identified, whereas ultra-sonography verified 102 cases of impending abortion. In 62 cases, there was a discrepancy in opinion. Complete abortion had a 16 percent inconsistancy, while incomplete abortion had a 4 percent inconsistancy. In 20 cases of Blighted ovum, there was a inconsistancy. Out of 214 occurrences of first trimester bleeding, abortion was diagnosed in 200 cases (93.46 percent), ectopic pregnancy in 10 cases (4.67 percent), and hydatiform mole in four cases (1.87 percent). Clinical opinion had a 100% sensitivity in diagnosing a viable intrauterine pregnancy, but only a 44.6 percent specificity. Clinical opinion has a poor statistical correlation in diagnosing nonviable pregnancies, with a sensitivity of 39%.

Conclusion: Ultra-sonography has thus been established as a critical diagnostic tool in obstetrics. It is a readily available diagnostic tool that aids in the early detection of problems associated with first-trimester haemorrhage. It was established in the aforementioned research that it had an essential role in the opinion of first trimester haemorrhage.

Key Word: first trimester bleeding, ultasonography, diagnostic importance
Investigation on the Efficiency of Modified Fenton on the Treatment of Leachate Generated From Oily Sludge Composting
Authors:   Department of Environmental Health Engineering, Faculty of Health, Arak University of Medical Sciences, Arak, Iran., Koolivand Ali , Rastgordani Parisa ,   Student Research Committee, Arak University of Medical Sciences, Arak, Iran., Mohammadtalebi Emad ,   Student Research Committee, Arak University of Medical Sciences, Arak, Iran.
Published: October 2021

Background: and Aim The leachate from oil sludge compost into the environment, which is resistant to decomposition, causes several environmental problems. Therefore, it needs to be treated using efficient processes. This study aimed to investigate the efficiency of the modified Fenton process for treating these oil sludge leachates. Methods & Materials: In this experimental study, leachate samples were collected, and then modified Fenton solution was prepared by adding Fe2 (SO4) 3 to H2O2. Then the effect of time parameters (15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes), modified Fenton concentration of 20, 50, 100, and 200 mg/l with pH 3, 5, 9, and three initial concentration of COD (500, 1000 and 1500 mg/l) was examined. Ethical Considerations: This study has been registered in Arak University of Medical Sciences with codes 2645 and 2765. Results: The reduction of COD and TPH in the optimal time of 60 minutes, initial COD of 500 mg/l, pH of 3, and Fenton concentration of 200 mg/l were 9.04 and 77.42%, respectively. The experiments showed that the removal efficiency of COD and TPH with increasing residence time and the concentration of modified Fenton are directly proportional and with decreasing, the initial concentration of COD and pH is inversely proportional. Conclusion: The use of modified Fenton is an efficient method for treating leachate from petroleum sludge compo
The Effect of Exercise Timing on Elevated Postprandial Glucose in Women With Obesity
Authors:   Department of Exercise Physiology, Faculty of Sport Sciences, University of Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran., Dehghani Yunarti1 Fateme , Minasian Vazgen ,   Department of Exercise Physiology, Faculty of Sport Sciences, University of Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran.
Published: October 2021

Background and Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of exercise timing on elevated postprandial glucose and after brief interval exercises in women with obesity. Methods & Materials: Ten women with obesity (Mean±SD age = 40.41±3.97 years; weight = 86.66±7.26 kg; and BMI = 33.22±2.20 kg/m2) participated in a crossover design exercise intervention: 1) postprandial aerobic exercise, 2) pre-prandial aerobic exercise, 3) brief periodic exercise, and 4) control. Pre- and postprandial exercise included 30 min of moderate-intensity walking on the treadmill before and after each main meal (1 minute of exercise -30 seconds rest). The brief periodic exercise had three one-minute reps of activity every 30 min for 20 times during the day. Twelve-hour continuous glucose monitoring and two-hour postprandial glucose levels were calculated to examine changes in blood glucose levels. Ethical Considerations: This study was approved by the institutional review board of the University of Isfahan (Ethics Code: IR.UI.REC.1397.119) and conducted in agreement with the ethical principles for biomedical research involving human subjects outlined in the declaration of Helsinki. Results: The findings of this study suggested that brief periodic exercise resulted in a significant decrease in continuous glucose monitoring levels and postprandial glucose compared to the control group as well as pre-prandial exercise (P˂0.05). However, pre- and postprandial exercise did not result in significant changes in continuous glucose monitoring (P˃0.05). In addition, postprandial exercise led to a significant decrease in postprandial glucose compared to the control group (P˂0.05). Conclusion: It seems that brief periodic exercise can have more beneficial effects on postprandial glucose levels, probably due to improved glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle.

Identification of the genus and, as far as possible, the species of fungi was performed using the culture method on the slide. Drug susceptibility testing was performed on isolated species by broth microdilution method (CLSI-M38A2 standard). Ethical Considerations: This study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee at Arak University of Medical Sciences (Code: IR.ARAKMU.REC.1395.315). Results: From the total samples, 18 species of fungi were isolated. These included: Aspergillus niger (8), Aspergillus flavus (4), Aspergillus fumigatus (2), Rhizopus spp. (2), Mucor spp. (1) and Fusarium spp. (1). In the drug sensitivity assay, instances of resistance included: Partial sensitivity of Aspergillus fumigatus to Itraconazole (1), Partial sensitivity of Aspergillus niger to Ketoconazole (1), and Resistance of Aspergillus niger to Itraconazole (1). Conclusion: The pattern of nosocomial fungal infection with pathogenic fungi and the drug susceptibility pattern of these organisms in other regions of Iran and the world is relatively consistent with the present study results. And drugs listed in global guidelines for treating these infections, such as voriconazole and caspofungin in the treatment of invasive aspergillosis and amphotericin B in the treatment of invasive mucormycosis and Fusarium wilt, are now effective drugs.

Background and Aim: In addition to free radicals such as Nitric Oxide (NO), inflammation is one of the most important pathophysiological causes of peritonitis. Over thousands of years, Nigella Sativa (NS) and Silybum Marianum (SM) are two plants known for their anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the effect of its compound is unclear. Thus, in this study, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory effect of NS and SM extracts and their combination on inflammatory diseases like thioglycollate peritoneal. Methods & Materials: Alcoholic extracts of SM and NS were obtained by the soxhlet method. Male Balb/C mice were divided into 5 groups and gavage orally for 14 days with SM, NS, the mixture of extracts of these two, DMSO 30% as the control group, and dexamethasone as the positive control group. The safety profile and acute toxicity in mice were assessed. On day 10, acute peritonitis was induced by thioglycollate 3%. Finally, the total anti-oxidant power and NO concentration were measured by FRAP and Griess method, respectively, in the serum of treated mice. Ethical Considerations: All experimental process was performed following the guidelines according to the Animal Ethics Committee of Arak University of Medical Sciences (IR.ARAKMU.REC.1397.359). Results: Acute toxicity test showed no significant changes in weight and physical appearance of the mice. However, the extract and their mixture decreased NO level significantly (P=0.000) in serum. Also, the mixture significantly increased total anti-oxidant power (P=0.015). Conclusion: Results showed that the SM and NS extract mixture demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity, inhibiting inflammatory mediators such as NO and increasing anti-oxidant power, thus supporting its therapeutic potential in slowing down inflammatory processes in inflammation disorders.

Background and Aim: Cancer cannot be explained only by genetic alterations but involves epigenetic processes. Modifying histones by acetylation plays a key role in epigenetic regulation of gene expression and is controlled by the balance between Histone Deacetylases (HDAC) and Histone Acetyltransferases (HAT). The HDACs expression and activity could be involved in several tumorigenesis mechanisms, so their inhibition induces cancer cell cycle arrest and migration. Methods & Materials: Quisinostat is a novel promising second-generation HDAC inhibitor class of hydroxamic acid with high cellular potency towards classes I and II HDACs. Therefore, its low IC50 (<0.5nM) and bioavailability have been chosen to carry out our studies. Cancer cells were treated with Quiznos at nM200, and cell migration was measured by fluorescent microscopy. Ethical Considerations: This study was the result of a preliminary study of Shiraz University (Code: 96GCU3M1293). Results: The data showed that treatment of cancer cells with Quiznos significantly (P<0.05) reduced cell migration. DMSO did not affect reducing cell migration. Conclusion: In this project try to explore the possible therapeutic application of this HDAC inhibitor against colon cancer. This study showed Quisinostat exerts broad-spectrum antiproliferative activity and migration.

Published: October 2021

Bogor Regency has an economic growth rate including the highest among cities and other districts around the Jakarta Capital Region. Regarding the condition of the vehicle population in Bogor district, the number of motorized vehicles in 2017 and 2018 experienced a growth of between 2% and 12%. In contrast to the growth rate of vehicles, the road growth rate is only 0.1% per year. Nurul Hidayah Mosque is located on Jalan Salabenda, the object of the author's research to find out how much influence the sound of motorized vehicles has on worship activities around the Nurul Hidayah mosque. In public transport car speed, motorcycle speed, and private car speed do not have a significant effect on the noise pollution produced. The noise level around the Nurul Hidayah Mosque, Jalan Salabenda Raya, Bogor Regency which has been measured the smallest is 56.4 dBA. This value exceeds the noise threshold of the Noise Level Standard Value for the Ministerial Decree, which is 55 dBA. So that it requires attention and cooperation from the government and the community to overcome the noise in the worship area. The calculation and analysis obtained is on the equation with the largest R Square value on the fourth day of the study, the third point (Sound Level Meter 3), with a contribution of 22.67%. Like the equation on the side, y = 73.251 + 0.004x1-0.311x2-0.003x3. The meaning of this equation is that if there is no decrease in the speed of motorbikes, private cars and public transport cars, the noise pollution level in SLM3 is 73,251 dBA. If there is an increase in the speed of public transport cars by 0.004, the decrease of motorbikes by 0.311, and an increase in the speed of private cars by 0.003, the noise pollution level will decrease by 0.31 dBA at SLM3.

The wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in the Nusa Dua area has implemented a stabilization pond to reduce organic matter and nutrients. Because it has been operating since 1980, it is necessary to evaluate the existing conditions. The aim of this study was to determine the percentage of organic and nutrient reduction from the WWTP system. Organic removal in the form of BOD and COD parameters were 71.84% and 75.11%, respectively. Meanwhile, nutrient parameters in the form of NH3-N, TN, and TP have a percentage of 83.64%; 59.41%, and -375.81%, respectively. TP is the only parameter that has increased, causing a problem which is caused by the explosion of algae population in the reservoir. TP allowance should be a concern in choosing advanced treatment.

The article analyses the construction of the health care system of Ukraine, the historical preconditions of its current state. The reasons that hinder the development of the industry, one of which is the urgent need for effective management, the development of which is complicated by a number of subjective and objective factors, including gaps in the legal field, insufficient competence of management, and their undesirable development and implementation of new management technologies. Positive changes in government regulations, promising areas of training have been identified. The educational and scientific program “Management in health care” (specialty 073 “Management”) and the requirements for the competence of specialists are also analyzed.
The issue of the need to build and develop a new model of health care, which should correspond to the modern market economy, comprehensive and intensive reform of the health care system, related to the methods of management, financing, reorganization of medical institutions.
In Ukraine, the heads of health care institutions are staffed mainly by doctors who, undoubtedly, have significant experience and high qualification in medical specialization, no longer have special training in management and economics of health care. It becomes obvious that the presence of special education is NOT a priority sign during the appointment to the position of head of a medical institution.
Health care reforms in Ukraine began much later than in other post-Soviet countries, almost two decades after independence.
Transformations in this area, first of all, the acquisition of autonomy by institutions in administrative activities, the ability to raise funds from various sources, etc., necessitate effective management of medical organizations.
The international experience of countries with developed health care systems shows that it is expedient to lead organizations and institutions with specialists in the field of management, economics and health care.
The inconsistency of the training of specialists with the needs of practical health care and the tasks of structural adjustment of this type of economic activity is the main thing that hinders the effective management of health care organizations, as a result of which the quality of medical care deteriorates.
Improving the management of health care organizations in Ukraine will allow you to effectively manage human resources and financial flows, which will result in both economic and social results of the individual, team, organization and the country as a whole.
ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF CHANGES IN HYDROLOGICAL REGULATION ECOSYSTEM SERVICE FROM THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF UNAUTHORIZED MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE LANDFILLS
Authors: Kobzar Olena
Published: October 2021

The problem of the formation of unauthorized municipal solid waste landfills is very urgent in the world. Municipal solid waste landfills affect the state of ecosystem assets of territorial communities and, accordingly, the flow of ecosystem services. The economic assessment of qualitative and quantitative changes of ecosystem services as a result of the negative impact of unauthorized landfills is a basic element of an effective policy in the field of municipal solid waste management. One of the ecosystem services, the assessment of which is given a lot of attention in the scientific literature is the hydrological regulation ecosystem service.
The aim of the research is the economic assessment of changes in hydrological regulation ecosystem service from the negative impact of unauthorized municipal solid waste landfills.
In the scientific literature, the economic assessment of hydrological regulation ecosystem service is considered as a function of the increase in the river or underground runoff and the cost of water. It is proposed to calculate the economic assessment of changes in hydrological regulation ecosystem service from the negative impact of unauthorized municipal solid waste landfills as a function of: the magnitude of the change in groundwater flow in the summer from the negative impact of unauthorized municipal solid waste landfill; tax rates for water abstraction from an underground source; landfill area; the coefficient of changes in the structure of the ecosystem within the landfill (destruction of vegetation cover); the area of impact of the landfill (outside the landfill) on the ecosystem; coefficient of change in the area of impact of the landfill.
Changes in the hydrological regulation ecosystem service from the negative impact of unauthorized municipal solid waste landfills on the territory of the Korostyshevskaya territorial community of the Zhytomyr region have calculated.
The main problems of assessing changes in hydrological regulation ecosystem service from the negative impact of unauthorized municipal solid waste landfills are identified: obtaining reliable and complete factual information about changes in underground runoff and the characteristics of the ecosystem from the negative impact of unauthorized municipal solid waste landfills within the landfill and the zone of its influence.
Due to the insignificant value of the cost of changing the hydrological regulation ecosystem service, it was concluded that it is inexpedient to take it into account when making managerial decisions about small and low-power unauthorized municipal solid waste landfills.
