Authors: Ghosh Purnasree , Sultana Kawsar
Published: May 2022

Background: Menstrual hygiene is a matter that is not sufficiently acknowledged. Even though menstruation is a natural phenomena in a woman’s life, it is associated with misconceptions, malpractices and challenges among girls in developing countries. School drop outs are more frequent among girls after they have reached puberty and menstruation is increasingly recognized as a major factor for this. The aim of the study was to assess the situation of menstrual hygiene of adolescent girls in a hilly area of Bangladesh.

Materials and methods: This was a cross-sectional study; convenient type of nonprobability sampling technique was applied. The study was performed in Khagrachari Technical School and College and Khagrachari Government Women College among 300 students.

Results: Out of 300 adolescent girls studied, the majority was between 16 to 18 years of age. The mean age of menarche in this study subjects was 12.96±1.214 years. Majority (72%) of the adolescents had no idea about menstruation before menarche. One hundred twenty six (42%) girls used sanitary pads during menstruation. In cases of reused cloth, 89 (51.2%) girls dried them outside the house in proper sunlight, 32 (18.4%) girls dried them inside the house hidden under cloths, and 36 (20.6%) girls dried them outside the house but hidden under cloths. Around 264 (88%) girls faced different restrictions during menstruation.

Conclusion: Formulating Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) programs in the country can have an outcome of great interest. To accomplish this, multiple strategies need to be used such as educational session on reproductive health and menstrual hygiene in schools or by media campaigns.

Background Immunisation timeliness continues to present challenges to achieving optimal vaccine coverage in infancy, particularly in disadvantaged groups and Australian First Nations infants. We aimed to determine whether a tailored, educational SMS reminder improves the timeliness of immunisation in infants up to seven months of age. Methods A pragmatic, three-arm, parallel-group, randomised controlled trial of immunisation reminders was conducted in two First-Nations-specific primary health care centres and two public hospital antenatal clinics in South East Queensland, Australia. Live-born infants of mothers enrolled during pregnancy were randomised at birth and followed to eight months of age. One group received a simple SMS reminder at two weeks before, the week of, and two weeks after the due date for immunisation at two, four and six months of age. The second group received a tailored SMS with an educational message at two weeks before and on the date immunisations were due; those not immunised two weeks following the due date were offered support to immunise the baby. Controls received no intervention or contact until the baby turned seven months of age. The primary outcome was the proportion of infants age-appropriately vaccinated at seven months of age as recorded on the Australian Immunisation Register. Secondary outcomes included vaccination status at three and five months of age. Results Between 30 May 2016 and 24 May 2018, one hundred and ninety-six infants (31% First Nations infants) were randomised. At seven months of age, 54/65 (83.1%) infants in the educational SMS ± additional support group (ESMS±S) were age-appropriately immunised, compared to 45/64 (70.3%) in the simple SMS group and 45/67 (67.2%) in controls. Differences were most marked at five months of age: ESMS±S 95.5%; simple SMS 73.4%; controls 75.8%. The difference between the ESMS±S group and the other two groups at seven months of age was no longer apparent when those who received additional support beyond the SMS were assumed to have not been vaccinated if that support had not been received. Discussion A tailored SMS reminder system using an educational message and with provision of additional support to mothers is more effective in improving immunisation timeliness in infants at three and five months of age than a simple message and no intervention. The additional support was required at seven months of age in order to achieve higher coverage in the ESMS±S group.

Published: May 2022

Red wine polyphenols have been reported to possess beneficial properties for preventing cardiovascular diseases but their neuroprotective effects during chronic L-NAME treatment have not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to analyze a time course of Provinols effects on brain NO synthase activity and oxidative damage in L-NAME-induced hypertension. Male Wistar rats, 12 weeks old, were divided into six groups: control groups, groups treated with N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 40 mg/kg/day) for 4 or 7 weeks and groups receiving Provinols (40 mg/kg/day) plus L-NAME for 4 or 7 weeks. At the end of the treatment, marker of membrane oxidative damage - conjugated dienes (CD) in the brain and NO synthase activity in the cerebral cortex, cerebellum and brainstem were determined. L-NAME treatment for 4 or 7 weeks led to the increase in blood pressure, elevation of CD concentration and decrease of NO synthase activity in the brain parts investigated. Provinols partially prevented blood pressure rise and elevation of CD concentration. Comparing to the L-NAME treated group, Provinols increased NO synthase activity after 4 weeks of treatment. However, the prolonged Provinols treatment for 7 weeks had no effect on NO synthase activity decreased by L-NAME treatment. In conclusion, Provinols partially prevents L-NAME induced hypertension via the different mechanisms depending on the duration of treatment. Prevention of oxidative damage in the brain with modulating effect on NO synthase activity is suggested.

Published: May 2022

Thioacetamide (TAA) is widely used in the production of drugs, pesticides and dyeing auxiliaries. Moreover, it is a chemical that can cause liver damage and cancer. TAA has recently been identified to cause bone damage in animal models. However, the type of bone damage that TAA causes and its potential pathogenic mechanisms remain unclear. The toxic effects of TAA on the femurs of New Zealand white rabbits and the underlying toxicity mechanism were investigated in this study. Serum samples, the heart, liver, kidney and femurs were collected from rabbits after intraperitoneal injection of TAA for 5 months (100 and 200 mg/kg). The New Zealand white rabbits treated with TAA showed significant weight loss and femoral shortening. The activities of total bilirubin, total bile acid and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase in the serum were increased following treatment with TAA. In addition, the cortical bone became thinner, and the trabecular thickness decreased significantly in TAA-treated rabbits, which was accompanied by significantly decreased mineral density of the cortical and trabecular bone. Moreover, there was a significant decrease in modulus of elasticity and maximum load on bone stress in TAA-treated rabbits. The western blotting results showed that the expression of phosphorylated (p)-p38 and p-ERK in femur tissues of rabbits were increased after TAA administration. Collectively, these results suggested that TAA may lead to femoral damage in rabbits by activating the p38/ERK signaling pathway.

Published: May 2022

Wnt1 inducible protein-1 signaling pathway (WISP-1) is a relatively new adipokine involved in many cellular processes, including epithelial mucosa healing. The aim of the study was to compare circulating levels of WISP-1 and other selected adipokines [adiponectin, resistin and retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP-4)] in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with healthy controls and to investigate possible differences between Crohn's disease patients. (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC). The study was performed as a case-control study. In addition to adipokines, anthropometric, lipid parameters, markers of inflammation or disease activity were evaluated in all participants. Compared to healthy controls (n=20), significantly lower levels of adiponectin and higher levels of resistin and WISP-1 were found in patients with IBD (n=58). Elevation of WISP-1 was detected only in the CD group (n=31). There were no differences in RBP-4 levels between the groups. Adiponectin, WISP-1 and RBP-4 were independently associated with body mass index only, resistin levels were associated with C-reactive protein levels and leukocyte counts. Adverse adipokines production reflects presence of dysfunctional fat tissue in IBD patients. Higher levels of WISP-1 in CD compared to patients with UC may indicate a specific role for mesenteric adipose tissue in WISP-1 production.

Published: May 2022

Schwannomas are neurogenic, benign, slow growing tumours that originate in Schwann's intersecting fascicles of the peripheral nerves. This article reports the case of a previously healthy 51-year-old male, where a 9.0x6.5 cm (3.5x2.5 in) sized pleural mass was found after the patient presented a haemoglobin level of 3.2 g/dL in a blood smear at a routine check-up. The patient had no relevant medical, family, or psychosocial history and presented no relevant symptoms.

After diagnosing and treating a chronic haemorrhoidal disease, the tumour was removed and studied. Demonstrating histopathological and immunohistochemical features of schwannoma, its uniqueness and rarity after successful management of the disease contributes to the medical literature as a histopathologic diagnostic standard and a therapeutic option for future cases of pleural schwannoma.

Sharing the histopathologic features of schwannoma is not common, usually, the available case reports are lacking. The patient was able to recover fully and had no significant or severe complications associated with medical care.

Published: May 2022

The theoretical approach, which allows us to control the formation of aggregates incorporated into porous matrixes has been developed and verified. It was established that the important parameter is the pH of a precipitator: the higher this value, the larger aggregates are formed. Based on the approach, a method of obtaining the composite based on naturalclinoptilolite-based zeolite containing nanoparticles of hydrated iron oxide has been developed. The porous structure of composite sorbents has been studied. The sorbents were investigated using XRD, TEM, SEM methods. Weakly basic precipitator has been recommended in order to obtain the nanosized aggregates of the modifier. During the synthesis, porous structure of the zeolite substrate is transformed. Acid activation promotes the development of the sorbent surface, which leads to the dissolution of the elements present in clinoptilolite. The increase in the surface of the modified sorbents is due to highly ordered pores in the range of 1-2 nm, as the microporosity decreases after acid activation. Impurities block ordered pores, and activation opens them. But after modification, these pores are partially blocked. This is probably caused by the precipitation of oxide dissolution products in alkaline media. Despite this fact, all the obtained samples of composite sorbents are mostly mesoporous. Sorption of di- and trivalent cations from multicomponent solution was studied. It was found that the presence of a nanoscale modifier accelerates ion absorption. The modified zeolite improves sorption of metals, which are not related to d-elements. The removal degree of Pb2+ ions reaches 97%. The isotherms of Pb2+sorption are fitted with Freundlich model. In addition to the lead extraction from aqueous solutions, the sorbent could be also recommended for water softening.
WHAT IS NEGATIVE ENTROPY AND HOW DOES IT AFFECT THE SUSTAINABILITY OF REGIONS DURING THE WARFARE
Authors: Pershina Katherine
Published: May 2022

The impact of warfare in one region on other regions is shown using the base fundamental thermodynamics laws and trends of decreasing entropy. The physical sense of the negentropy is described use of the principles of chemical thermodynamics. A phenomenological model for the description impact of warfare on the ecological part of the region is proposed. According to this model, a system without plants, with destroyed soils, can't be alive without external factors. Based on thermodynamic differences between turbulent and laminar flows, the capability of the zones formation with an absence of the ability to any own functioning outside zone with military actions is shown. With the rising number of influencing factors, especially in large areas, the probability of narrowing and loss of zones with a stable state as in the region with military action but in neighboring regions increases.

Published: May 2022

Hoax news in Indonesia causes various problems, therefore it is necessary to classify whether a news is in the hoax category or is valid. Naive Bayes is an algorithm that can perform classification but has a weakness, namely the selection of attributes that can affect accuracy so that it needs to be optimized by giving weights to attributes using the TF-IDF method. Classification using Naive Bayes and using TF-IDF as attribute weighting on a dataset of 600 data resulted in 82% accuracy, 84% precision, and 89% recall. The suggestion put forward is that it is better to use a larger number of datasets in order to produce higher accuracy.

Authors: Kusumawati Yupie , Widyatmoko Karis , Irawan Candra
Published: May 2022

In this modern era, one of the businesses that continues to grow is investment. Gold has a more stable value. In Indonesia, there are futures exchange companies that offer gold investment with an online transaction system (E-Trade). The amount of demand and supply, the rate of inflation, economic conditions, and many more can affect the high and low prices of gold. Due to changes in the conditions above, the price of gold may increase, decrease, or remain constant every day. The price of gold that can go up and down causes the need for gold price predictions so that future gold trading investment prospects can be seen. In this final project, the accuracy of Support Vector Regression will be investigated to find out how accurate it is in predicting gold prices with High, Low, Open, Close, and Volume variables. Based on the calculation of the best RMSE in the study, it was found that the best RMSE was to use a Linear kernel with a C of 35 and using a Y variable dataset of 7.4615. The Support Vector Regression Algorithm can predict quite well, as evidenced by the acquisition of fairly good RMSE results. It is necessary to do a simulation of buying and selling gold based on the prediction results and comparing the advantages of the testing data and the actual data.

This study examines the concept of appreciating Islamic values in fostering an organizational culture at the Miftahul Ulum Suren Islamic Boarding School (PMUS) Jember, especially in implementing and integrating Islamic values. This study uses adaptive culture theory with qualitative research methods and phenomenological types. The research participants were three Kiai and ustadz in Islamic boarding schools. The interview technique was used to dig up complete data. Data analysis was carried out by data reduction procedures, presentation, and interpretation. This study finds that the institutional culture of pesantren is born out of the theological and philosophical values of the Kiai, which are lived by giving examples (role models), guidance, teaching, training, or using the experiences of the pesantren residents themselves. This culture has implications for the achievements of the pesantren, including the achievement of the prophetic tasks of the pesantren.

Published: May 2022

The use of dermal fllers based on calcium hydroxyapatite has become widespread among cosmetologists. These fllers are considered highly effective in the fght against age-related skin changes, have a high safety profle and are not prone to cause an autoimmune response of the body. Due to specifcs of the fller, calcium hydroxyapatite provides both restoration of soft tissue volume loss and stimulation of neocollagenesis. Having a long experience of use, the fller has frmly taken its place in aesthetic medicine and is successfully used by many doctors around the world. However, with the increase in the use of fllers, the number of side effects also increases. Currently, there are no clear guidelines for the treatment of complications of injection by calcium hydroxyapatite, unlike fllers based on hyaluronic acid. Despite the low risk of developing serious complications as a result of unintentional vascular occlusion, a number of doctors are afraid to use calcium hydroxyapatite preparations due to lack of knowledge on its elimination. This article describes the basic principles of therapy for occlusive syndrome and can help doctors to take effective and timely therapeutic measures to correct it.

The article presents the results of clinical studies and real practice of the effectiveness and safety of the use of a new genetically engineered biological drug Risankizumab. Skyrizi (risankizumab) is an innovative drug, it is a humanized monoclonal antibody – immunoglobulin class G1 (IgG1) – which specifcally inhibits the cytokine IL-23 by binding to its subunit p19. It is believed that cytokine IL-23, involved in inﬂammatory processes, is associated with a number of chronic immune-mediated diseases, including psoriasis. According to direct comparative randomized clinical trials, risankizumab is superior in effectiveness in the short term and, most importantly, in the long term most genetically engineered biologic drugs, including TNF-α inhibitors, secukinumab, ustekinumab. In the ultIMMa-1 and ultIMMa-2 studies, sPGA 0/1 and PASI 90 (p < 0.001) were achieved after 16 weeks of treatment with Skyrizi. After 16 weeks of treatment in both studies, the majority of patients achieved sPGA 0/1 (88% and 84%, respectively), and PASI 90 in both studies reached 75% of patients receiving Skyrizi. According to the LIMMitless open extended study, after completion of ultIMMa-1 and –2 (based on LOCF analysis), the proportion of patients receiving Skyrizi up to 2.5 years (136 weeks) withholding PASI 90 and PASI 100 was 87% and 63%, respectively. One of the potential advantages of IL-23 inhibitors is also the long-term maintenance of the achieved effect after treatment cessation. During patient management in the course of randomized controlled trials of phase 3, data were obtained on the high safety of the drug and the absence of signifcant risks in relation to serious infections, cardiovascular events, malignant neoplasms. The drug is effective in case of insuffcient response to adalimumab, ustekinumab, secukinumab. The article presents two clinical cases of the use of risankizumab in patients of different ages with severe psoriasis, with ineffciency or intolerance to systemic therapy, as well as in connection with the eluding effect of previously conducted treatment methods. PASI 90/100 was achieved in all patients. No adverse events were observed.

Sensitive skin is a common condition, affecting about half of the general population. This condition is characterized by a number of unpleasant skin symptoms (tingling, burning, pain, and itching) that occur in response to triggers that usually do not cause such reactions. Severe dryness of the skin is often observed in patients with sensitive skin. Nowadays, treatment of the condition of sensitive dry skin comes down to the use of moisturizing care products. We conducted a study of the clinical effectiveness of moisturizing products, which included 50 volunteers. According to the study data, a signifcant effect was achieved by the 21st day of using moisturizers. However, long-term use for more than 2 months allowed to maintain normal values of corneometric parameters even after cancelation moisturizers.
