Authors: PAL Buddhadev , YADAV Akhılesh
Published: July 2020

In this paper, we study the geometry of rectifying curves in the 3-dimensional hyperbolic space $\mathbb H^{3}(-r)$. Further we obtain the distance function in terms of arc length when the rectifying curve lying in the upper half plane. Then we find the distance function and also give the general equations of the curvature and torsion of rectifying general helices in $\mathbb{H}^3(-r)$.
A novel differential evolution algorithm approach for estimating the parameters of Gamma distribution: An application to the failure stresses of single carbon fibres
Authors: YONAR Aynur , YAPICI PEHLİVAN Nimet
Published: July 2020

Three-parameter (3-p) Gamma distribution is widely used to model for skewed data in the reliability field. Thus, the problem of parameter estimation for the Gamma distribution has remained significant and interesting in all times. The maximum likelihood (ML) and the least square (LS) are the most popular methods in the parameter estimation. In this study, a novel Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm is proposed for the ML and LS estimation of the parameters of the 3-p Gamma distribution. This approach overcomes the problem of how to determine the search space of the DE by utilizing a new search space based on the confidence interval. The modified maximum likelihood and the profile likelihood methods are considered to constitute the confidence interval. In order to examine the performance of the proposed approach, an extensive Monte Carlo simulation study and a real data application are performed. The results show that this proposed approach is effective for estimating the parameters of the 3-p Gamma distribution with respect to mean square error and deficiency criteria.

Smoking is a major risk factor for chronic respiratory diseases. Aim. To study the prevalence of smoking and respiratory symptoms in the adult population of Moscow. Material and methods. We surveyed 1252 residents aged 15-24 years (response — 85,0%) (group 1) and 1145 their family members aged 25-74 years (response — 76,6%) (group 2) in one district of Moscow. The GA 2 LEN survey questionnaire was used. Statistical analysis was performed using the software package STATISTICA 10; EPINFO v. 7 (WHO). Results. In the first group, the prevalence of smoking was 13,2% among men and 13,0% among women (p=0,895), in the second group — 71,1% and 38,8% (p<0,001), respectively. In group 1, regular smoking at the age ≥10 years was recorded in 97,3%, in group 2 — 98,5%. The intensity of smoking in men of both groups was 2 times higher than in women. The prevalence of respiratory symptoms increased with age and was higher among men and smokers than non-smokers. Conclusion. Smoking was associated with increase in the prevalence of respiratory symptoms, as well as asthma and chronic bronchitis in young and older age groups and requires active prevention.

Published: July 2020

Abortion in Russia is an urgent problem with high medical and social significance due to high prevalence and significant contribution to reproductive losses, maternal mortality and gynecological morbidity. Aim. To assess the dynamics and pattern of abortion in Russia for 2008-2015. Material and methods. The official statistics were analyzed using the descriptive statistic methods. Results. Between 2008 and 2015, the total number of abortions decreased by 39,6%. The number of social abortions has decreased the most — by 96,7%, criminal abortions — by 87,0%, medical (legal) abortions — by 53,8%, unspecified abortions — by 40,5%, therapeutic abortions — by 9,7%. The number of spontaneous abortions, on the contrary, increased by 34,6%. Conclusion. Despite the fact that number of abortions has decreased, it remains high. Moreover, the prevalence of spontaneous abortions has increased. At the same time, the proportion of spontaneous abortions in pregnancies resulted in births in 2015 amounted to 12,3%. It indicates an increase in their prevalence and contribution to female fertility defects.

Published: July 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the repercussions on the life of the elderly after joining a coexistence center and the existing challenges from the perspective of the participants and their families. Methods: Qualitative research conducted with 16 elderly from a coexistence center and 14 family members. Data were collected through individual interviews and subjected to content analysis. Results: Two thematic categories were identified: “Before and after: changes in the life of the elderly after joining the coexistence center” and “Aspects needed to improve care in the coexistence center”. Final Considerations: The benefits of older people’s participation in the service are evidenced by changes in lifestyle and interrelationships. However, there is a need to expand assistance in these institutions, with a multidisciplinary team trained in gerontogeriatric care, as well as to consider the importance of nursing as a science of care and insert it in this service.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the concept of “frailty syndrome” in the literature, according to the method proposed by Walker and Avant. Methods: It is a concept analysis, guided by the method proposed by Walker and Avant, made operational through an integrative literature review. The search in a scientific database was carried out using the descriptors: Frail elderly, syndrome, phenotype, geriatric assessment, and aging. The literary corpus comprised 66 studies. Results: The study found the antecedents and attributes (categorized as physical, sociodemographic, and behavioral/environmental) that integrate the signs and symptoms evidenced in the “frailty syndrome,” as well as the consequences of this concept. The variables were analyzed with emphasis on the conceptions that influence the frailty process of the elderly. Conclusion: The study demonstrated the complexity arising from the multifactorial genesis of the referred syndrome, emphasizing the specificities of the elderly’s frailty. However, we recommend conducting further research involving the phenomenon in question to understand the construct better.

Published: July 2020

Abstract Lime sulphur is used worldwide in agriculture to control pests and diseases. Our objective was to determine the effect of lime sulphur applications in an orange orchard on soil chemical properties and foliar nutrients after seven years of use to control B. yothersi. Soil and leaf samples were collected in two consecutive years for determination of soil chemical properties and nutritional analysis, respectively. We also assessed severity of citrus leprosis and productivity of plants. The applications of lime sulphur reduced pH values in CaCl2 and increased levels of S-SO42- in subsurface soil layer. Plants treated with lime sulphur had thehighestleaf concentrations of Ca and S and of the micronutrients B, Cu, Mn e Zn. On the other hand, lime sulphur was able to reduce severity of citrus leprosis and had a positive effect on citrus productivity. The use of lime sulfur must be moderate, as the excessive use of this pesticide can cause imbalances in soil and plants, affecting the quality of food produced and causing negative impacts on the environment.

Published: July 2020

Abstract Even though the peach tree was introduced in Brazil during the XVI century, it was only on the 1940’s that the first peach breeding program started in the country. Later on, other programs started being, until now, the largest ones, and the programs that gave more significant contributions to the peach crop development those from the Instituto Agronômico de Campinas and from Embrapa Temperate Agriculture. Presently, peach is cultivated not only in the colder areas of the South but also in the subtropics and high altitude areas of the tropics, due to dozens of cultivars released by these breeding programs. Peaches are sold entirely in the domestic market and in the largest consumers market, State of São Paulo, the preference is for white sweet flesh and low acid peaches with attractive appearance. The ‘BRS Serenata’ cultivar was released to fulfill a gap of white flesh peach between the seasons of ‘BRS Kampai’ and ‘BRS Fascínio’.

Published: July 2020

ABSTRACT Introduction The Glittre-ADL test is a submaximal test that involves sitting/lifting, stair climbing/descending, and weight-bearing activities, with considerable potential for use in assessing exercise intolerance in heart failure. Objectives To investigate the influence of heart failure on maximal physical (ergometric test - ET) and functional (6MWT and Glittre-ADL test) capacity, on respiratory (IPmax and EPmax) and peripheral (handgrip strength) muscle strength, and to study the correlation between the variables evaluated. Methods A prospective comparative study that assessed 44 subjects divided into two groups: G1, with 26 heart patients (20 men/6 women, 65.26 ± 8.50 years), and G2, with 18 healthy subjects paired with G1 on the basis of sex ratio, age and anthropometric characteristics (10 men/8 women, 60.72 ± 8.39 years). The comparison of categorical variables was performed using the chi-square test, while continuous variables were compared using the Student t test or Mann-Whitney test. The study of the correlation between variables was conducted using the Pearson coefficient for EPmax and handgrip strength, while the Spearman correlation coefficient was used for the others, with a statistical significance level of 5%. Results Groups were homogeneous in terms of sex ratio, age and anthropometric characteristics. G1 had a worse performance in all tests: ET (p = 0.016), Glittre-ADL (p = 0.001), 6MWT (p = 0.001), IPmax (p = 0.012), EPmax (p = 0.007) and handgrip strength (p = 0.036). There was a negative correlation between the Glittre-ADL test and 6MWT, and the Glittre-ADL test and handgrip strength in G1. Conclusion Heart failure resulted in impairment of maximal physical and functional capacity and of respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, with a negative correlation between functional capacity and handgrip strength.

Published: July 2020

ABSTRACT Purpose: to investigate the possible association between the severity of the temporomandibular disorder, cervical pain, and mandibular function impairment. Methods: is a cross-sectional, descriptive study, conducted with 32 individuals with temporomandibular disorder, categorized by degree of severity, according to the Fonseca Index. Using the diagnosis criteria for temporomandibular disorder, the likely etiological factors for the disorder were established, as well as the intensity of the functional disability, resulting from cervical pain and of the mandibular impairment. The data obtained were statistically treated, adopting the significance level of 5%. Results: the mean age was 33.8 years, 90.6% being females. As for the degree of disorder, 56.3% presented severe TMD, followed by 28.1% showing a moderate one. The myogenic etiology was present in 93.7% of the patients. Cervical pain was present in 90.6% of them, of which, 59.4% presented a mild disability, and 25%, a moderate one. Considering the mandibular function, 46.9% of the patients presented a low, 40.6%, a moderate, and 12.5%, a severe impairment. There was a statistically significant association between cervical pain and mandibular function (p = 0.011). However, although there was an increase in cervical disability and in mandibular impairment as the severity of the TMD also increased, these associations were not statistically significant (p = 0.178 and p = 0.102, respectively). Conclusion: it can be stated that there is a higher prevalence of severe TMD and of myogenic origin, and that cervical pain influences, directly, the mandibular function, which is not necessarily related to the severity of the temporomandibular alteration. Likewise, such severity does not present a relationship to mandibular function impairment either.

Significance Statement

More than one third of hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) develop AKI. The pathogenesis of AKI in this setting is poorly understood, and pathologic descriptions are limited. The authors examined kidney histopathology of 42 patients who died of COVID-19. The most significant findings included mild acute tubular injury as well as the absence of classic viral nephropathy, diffuse thrombotic microangiopathy, or acute GN. In situ hybridization could not identify definitive positivity for SARS-CoV-2. The finding of only mild acute tubular injury in the setting of severe creatinine elevation suggests a pathogenesis involving tubular injury and hemodynamic factors (such as aggressive fluid management) and potential for recovery of renal function upon resolution of infection.

Background

AKI is common among hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and is an independent risk factor for mortality. Although there are numerous potential mechanisms underlying COVID-19–associated AKI, our current knowledge of kidney pathologic findings in COVID-19 is limited.

Methods

We examined the postmortem kidneys from 42 patients who died of COVID-19. We reviewed light microscopy findings in all autopsies and performed immunofluorescence, electron microscopy, and in situ hybridization studies for SARS-CoV-2 on a subset of samples.

Results

The cohort had a median age of 71.5 years (range, 38–97 years); 69% were men, 57% were Hispanic, and 73% had a history of hypertension. Among patients with available data, AKI developed in 31 of 33 patients (94%), including 6 with AKI stage 1, 9 with stage 2, and 16 with stage 3. The predominant finding correlating with AKI was acute tubular injury. However, the degree of acute tubular injury was often less severe than predicted for the degree of AKI, suggesting a role for hemodynamic factors, such as aggressive fluid management. Background changes of hypertensive arterionephrosclerosis and diabetic glomerulosclerosis were frequent but typically mild. We identified focal kidney fibrin thrombi in 6 of 42 (14%) autopsies. A single Black patient had collapsing FSGS. Immunofluorescence and electron microscopy were largely unrevealing, and in situ hybridization for SARS-CoV-2 showed no definitive positivity.

Conclusions

Among a cohort of 42 patients dying with COVID-19, autopsy histologic evaluation revealed acute tubular injury, which was typically mild relative to the degree of creatinine elevation. These findings suggest potential for reversibility upon resolution of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
An Environmental Justice Perspective on Air Quality Offsets
Authors: Langerman Kristy
Published: July 2020

Air quality offsets in South Africa are intended to counterbalance the harm caused by atmospheric emissions and deliver a net ambient air quality benefit in the affected airshed. In practice, they are implemented as a condition of leniency from compliance with the Minimum Emission Standards, and they focus on converting solid fuel burning households in low-income communities to cleaner forms of energy. Air quality offsets are not supported by all stakeholders, with non-governmental organisations in particular voicing vociferous objections. To date, there have only been very limited analyses of the ethical dimensions of air quality offsets. In this paper, air quality offsets and the Minimum Emission Standards are examined and compared from the perspective of three notions of environmental justice: distributive justice, which focuses on the distribution of environmental burdens and benefits; procedural justice, which considers inclusion and exclusion in decision- and policy-making processes; and justice as recognition, which focuses on the cultural and institutional processes that determine recognition, misrecognition and non-recognition of various groups. It is found that air quality offsets should guide action which promotes distributive justice because they are focussed on reducing polluting emissions in vulnerable, low-income communities that are exposed to the highest levels of ambient pollution. From a procedural justice perspective, South Africa’s legislative processes provide for involving most stakeholders in decision-making processes. Air quality offset initiatives should be evaluated once they have been implemented at scale to determine whether they have indeed aided in redressing injustices. Assessment criteria could include whether the air quality-related health risk of vulnerable communities has been reduced, whether community members have participated in the design and implementation of interventions, and whether marginalised members of the community have benefitted from the interventions.

Злоупотребление субъективным правом при заключении имущественных соглашений между супругами
Authors: Лагунова Елена Александровна
Published: July 2020

В статье рассматривается один их аспектов проблемы злоупотребления членами семьи принадлежащими им субъективными правами. Нередко супруги, обладая правом общей собственности на нажитое в браке имущество, заключают соглашение о его разделе или брачный договор, условиями которых могут ущемляться имущественные интересы как одного из супругов, так и их кредиторов. В связи с этим анализируется судебная практика по вопросам оспаривания подобного рода соглашений, исследуются существующие теоретические конструкции злоупотребления субъективным правом. Отмечается отсутствие единообразия в рассмотрении и разрешении судами соответствующих исковых требований в формирующейся ими в настоящее время практике. Автор приходит к выводу, что сделки супругов, заключённые с целью сокрытия имущества от кредиторов, являются случаем злоупотребления принадлежащим им субъективным правом общей совместной собственности, а также свободой заключения договоров.

Authors: Paulo João Pedro Antunes de , Bicudo Maria Aparecida Viggiani
Published: July 2020

Background: In Mathematics Education many works use the Model of the Semantic Fields (MSF) to investigate aspects of the teaching and learning Mathematics and teacher education. However, none of these works analyzes the development of this theoretical model or investigates the theories that support it. Objectives: present a meta-analysis of the results of the doctoral thesis (Paulo, 2020) which aimed to investigate the existence of a Mathematics teacher education project consistent with the MSF. Design: The study is part of a hermeneutics analysis based on the MSF's ways of proceeding. Setting and Participants: The research has a bibliographic nature and was developed from 31 works published between the years 1992 and 2012. The selection of works that constituted the research corpus took place by consulting all works published by the research group Sigma-t, being elected those dealing with teacher education. Data collection and analysis: From the corpus of the research, an analysis was carried out according to the MSF's characteristic way of proceeding, explained in the item “Methodology” of this text. This analysis resulted in the production of a report from which the authors articulated their conclusions. Results: The study shows the existence of a teacher training project being articulated over the years by the researchers who make up the research group investigated. In a complementary way, a systematization of “Plausible Reading” also resulted from our analyzes as a research procedure based on the MSF. Conclusions: We conclude this article by pointing out the potential and limitations of the research developed during the PhD, as well as referrals for the research developed.

UTILIZAÇÃO DO MODELO BIOPSICOSSOCIAL NO ESTUDO DA ANATOMIA HUMANA NO CURSO DE FISIOTERAPIA: RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA
Authors: Cardoso Kátia Virgínia Cardoso Virgínia , Ferreira Bruno Araújo , Castro Shamyr Sulyvan
Published: July 2020

Contextualização: O modelo Biomédico institui a compreensão de fenômenos da saúde a partir da explicação biológica dos fatos. O estudo da anatomia humana foi importante para a consolidação desse modelo, com o aprendizado do corpo humano e sua relação com as doenças. Nesse contexto, o modelo biopsicossocial foi proposto na tentativa de abranger outros aspectos envolvidos no adoecer, além do agente biológico. Em 2001, a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) aprovou a Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Saúde (CIF) que propõe uma abordagem biopsicossocial no entendimento dos conceitos da saúde. Descrição da experiência: Tendo em vista a importância da anatomia humana na formação profissional do fisioterapeuta, o presente estudo teve por objetivo propor uma forma de estudo da anatomia na graduação em Fisioterapia baseada no contexto biopsicossocial. Buscou-se na literatura científica esse modelo de ensino, bem como foram introduzidas as definições da CIF, pautado na abordagem biopsicossocial, em conjunto com o estudo da anatomia humana. Impactos: No estudo da anatomia, as variações anatômicas podem ser denominadas normalidade, quando é mais frequente estatisticamente; anomalia, quando acarretam prejuízo funcional; e monstruosidade, quando essa variação é incompatível com a vida. Na CIF, o termo anormalidade refere-se a uma variação significativa das normas estatisticamente estabelecidas e deve ser utilizado apenas nesse sentido; e o mais importante, a classificação das estruturas do corpo foi concebida para utilização em conjunto com as categorias de Atividades e Participação. Espera-se que, com a implementação dos elementos da CIF, os estudantes possam ter uma visão amplificada dos diversos fatores biopsicossociais envolvidos em uma determinada condição de saúde e, assim, compreender a importância de considerar tais fatores. Considerações finais: A abordagem do modelo biopsicossocial da CIF no estudo da anatomia tem grande potencial para contemplar e abordar uma visão holística na graduação de Fisioterapia.

A ventilação mecânica permite a respiração artificial por meio de uma pressão positiva imposta nas vias áreas. É frequentemente utilizada nas unidades de terapia intensiva, no entanto, a utilização prolongada desse recurso pode levar o paciente a graves complicações que podem dificultar o desmame. A fisioterapia pode prevenir e/ou tratar complicações por meio de suas técnicas, objetivando a redução da duração na ventilação mecânica. O objetivo deste estudo foi revisar a atuação da fisioterapia no desmame da ventilação mecânica de pacientes críticos. Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática da literatura nos idiomas inglês, espanhol e português, nas bases de dados PubMed e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) dos últimos 10 anos. A inclusão dos artigos foi guiada pelo Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Esta revisão identificou 30 artigos nas bases de dados PubMed (18) e BVS (12). Após eliminação de um artigo duplicado e aplicação dos critérios de exclusão, foram selecionados 7 artigos. Todos os artigos são ensaios clínicos randomizados. Os estudos evidenciaram que a fisioterapia desempenha um importante papel de auxílio durante o desmame da ventilação mecânica em pacientes críticos.

Published: July 2020

O projeto de reestruturação da Revista Brasileira de Odontologia (RBO), iniciado em 2016, tem se caracterizado pelo esforço contínuo de seus gestores, da comunidade acadêmica e instituições parceiras em adequar-se às necessidades apontadas pelas instâncias avaliadoras e de indexação, para sua consolidação como um periódico de reconhecida importância e do mais elevado conceito nos âmbitos nacional e internacional.
Na atualidade, podemos dizer que o objetivo de internacionalização da RBO está prestes a se concretizar, pois encaminhamentos já têm sido feitos para indexação em bases de dados pelas quais poderá obter o conceito de publicação “internacional” marcando, assim, mais um passo consolidado para a progressiva qualidade da revista. Sabemos que a revista deve atender tanto os pesquisadores que encaminham artigos para publicação, quanto os seus leitores. Os objetivos principais dos pesquisadores na publicação são: a) validar resultados (validação essa que depende da reputação da revista); b) chegar ao público alvo (em geral tão internacional quanto possível), e c) alcançar reconhecimento pela excelência do trabalho. Cirurgiões-Dentistas brasileiros que publicam estão mais frequentemente ligados a programas de pós-graduação, os quais pressionam por melhores perfis de publicações, com visibilidade internacional. Diante disso, o fator de impacto (número de citações em relação ao número de publicações na revista nos dois anos anteriores) é relevante para a reputação do periódico e pode ser entendido como indicador de qualidade, embora não reflita a qualidade de um trabalho ou de um pesquisador em particular.
As revistas com baixo índice de impacto sofrem evasão de pesquisadores, inclusive os de maior reputação; desse modo, revistas com baixo fator de impacto tendem à inércia, sem condições de se fortalecerem. Seguindo esse pensamento, nossa trajetória fica pautada na busca pelas melhores indexações de bases internacionais que culminarão num maior incremento do fluxo de publicação e aumento da internacionalização da revista.

Parent Involvement and Student Achievement in the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries: Evidence from PIRLS 2016 Data
Authors: AlHashmi Shefa
Published: July 2020

Numerous studies have shown that parent involvement has a significant influence on student achievement. However, most of these studies have been conducted in western Europe and North America. In the Gulf Cooperation Council region, we find that quantitative research that targeted parents’ behavior is limited. In order to design efficient parent engagement programs and family policies, we need to understand how parents interact with their children’s education in this area. Data from PIRLS is the only open-access data that allows us to study parent involvement by using a large sample that may reveal parents' behavior patterns. This work investigates elements of parent involvement addressed in the parent questionnaire of PIRLS and studies their relationship to student reading achievement. The results showed a positive influence of parents’ practice of educational activities and their educational expectation on their children's achievement; and a negative association between the later and parents’ help with homework. Implications are discussed in the perspective of the social context in the GCC countries.

This study, conducted in the United Arab Emirates, piloted a curriculum to increase early grade reading fluency. A curriculum with enhanced perceptual features, such as font size and spacing was used with grade one students in four schools to detect any significant difference in students’ reading speed and reading accuracy after one year. Three hundred forty-five grade one students participated in the pilot—174 in the intervention group and 171 in the control group (ds= 0.33 0.47). At the end of the year, students in the intervention group read more letters and words correctly on average in one minute (p < .01) and in an entire text (p < .01 for letters; p < .001 for words) than those in the control group. These results suggest that curriculum with perceptual enhancement may be useful in facilitating early Arabic reading fluency.

Objective: The outbreak of COVID-19 has different effects on people's psychological and social aspects. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between anxiety, self-compassion, and gender differences with self-care behaviors and fear of COVID-19 in Kermanshah.
Method: In the cross-sectional study, 403 people answered online questions on the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item (GAD-7) Scale, Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S), and a questionnaire focusing on COVID-19-related behavior. Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used for data analysis.
Results: There was a significant relationship between social distance and gender, and people who observed social distancing reported higher levels of fear of COVID-19 (p < 0.001). No significant relationship was found between handwashing behaviour and gender variables, marital status, and education (p > 0.05). There was a significant difference between those who answered yes to self-care behaviours related to washing and those who answered no in terms of variables of fear of COVID-19, the overall score of compassion, and subscales of compassion, including self-kindness and isolation (p < 0.05). In relation to fear of COVID-19, married status, anxiety, and common humanity had a positive relationship with fear of COVID-19. However, self-judgment was negatively related to fear of COVID-19 (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: According to the findings of the present study, men and people who are less afraid of COVID-19 are more likely not to observe self-care behaviors. Therefore, providing training about treatment protocols is necessary for these people. To reduce the fear of this disease in people with high levels of fear, psychologists, psychiatrists, and other medical staff can implement protocols to increase compassion.

Vitamin D and Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19); Is Deficiency and Maintenance Supplementation Therapy Necessary?
Authors: Namayandeh Seyedeh Mahdieh
Published: July 2020

Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin with a well-known general metabolism and actions in bone structure and immune system regulation. Vitamin D exhibits direct antimicrobial activities against a spectrum of microbes, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, enveloped and non-enveloped viruses, as well as fungi. An observational study showed that concentrations of 38 ng/ml or more were associated with a significant more than twofold reduction in the risk of developing acute respiratory syndrome (17% vs. 45%). Some clinical trials on vitamin D showed a decrease in incidence and severity of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). To achieve the optimum vitamin D3 levels, approximately half of the population should take at least 2000–5000 iu/d of vitamin D3. Various loading doses were proposed for achieving a 25(OH)D concentration of 30 ng/ml. A study reported that to achieve the concentration of 40–60 ng/ml a weekly or fort nightly dose totaling 100,000–200,000 iu over 8 weeks (1800 or 3600 iu/d) as loading should be prescribed. Approximately about half the people, using 5000 iu/d of vitamin D3 or 30,000–35,000 iu/wk would increase 25(OH)D concentration to 40 ng/ml and 6235–7248 iu/d can ensure that 97.5% of the people have concentrations > 20 ng/ml. Well-designed human clinical studies over the dosage and combination of micronutrients such as vitamin C and D and Zinc in different populations are required to substantiate the benefits of micronutrient supplementation against infection.

Background: Obesity is considered as the greatest cause of chronic diseases worldwide. The prevalence rate of obesity and overweight should be recognized in the community for planning and prioritizing health problems. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of obesity and overweight and its related factors among residents of Yazd city, Iran.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 790 participants aged 20-70 years. Participants were selected through multi-stage systematic sampling in 2018. The individuals' demographic data, and anthropometric measurements such as height and weight were measured. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, chi-square, and correlation coefficients.
Results: The mean age of participants was 45.10 ± 14.56 years. According to the results, 170 (21.51%) and 280 (35.44%) participants were obese and overweight, respectively. Overweight was also associated with demographic variables of mobility, age, and income. Furthermore, a significant relationship was found between weight status and demographic variables of mobility, age, and income. Based on the results, a significant and positive correlation was observed between body mass index and age (R = 0.75, P = 0.03).
Conclusion: Obesity and overweight is a major public health problem in Yazd, especially among women, older age, and low-income groups in Yazd. Therefore, appropriate plans should be designed to reduce this health problem.
