Published: June 2020

Background: Feeding is a cornerstone in the management of sick or preterm neonates and early initiation of breastfeeding is the single most effective intervention associated with reduced neonatal mortality. However, enteral feeding is often delayed due to haemodynamic instability and the perceived risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Alternative routes for early breast milk administration are either oropharyngeal colostrum or minimal enteral nutrition. One strategy to overcome delays in enteral feeds is the implementation of standardized feeding guidelines.Methods: This study was conducted in three regional hospitals in Dar es Salaam, consisting of a historical control group at baseline and an intervention group after implementation of locally developed feeding guidelines. Neonates were consecutively recruited and followed to a maximum of 28 days of life. The controls received routine standard care, while the intervention group received early enteral feeding. The outcomes measured were NEC, time to regain birth weight and neonatal mortality. Odds ratio was used to determine the association between feeding and outcomes, statistical significance was considered when p-value ≤0.05.Results: 292 neonates were enrolled in this study, 163 (55.8%) controls at baseline and 129 (44.2%) after the intervention. Study participants comprised of 130 (44.5%) neonates with very low birth weight and 162 (55.5%) with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. The mean age of initiating feeding was 45.34 ± 21.58 SD hours amongst the controls and 8.43 ± 3.02 SD hours in the intervention group. Overall, 1.4% (4 cases) of the neonates were diagnosed with NEC, 1.8% (3 cases) in the control group and 0.8 % (1 case) in the intervention group (P=0.4; 95% CI: 0.25-23.3). The mean duration of regaining birth weight was significantly reduced from 11.26 ± 4.34 SD days among controls to 8.25 ± 2.96 SD days in the intervention group (p=0.000; 95% CI: 1.61 - 4.41). Mortality in this high-risk groups of neonates remained high (40.8%), without significant difference between the control (41.7%) and intervention group (39.5%). Conclusions: Neonates who received early breast milk feeding following the implementation of feeding guidelines significantly regained birth weight earlier. No association was demonstrated between early breast milk feeding and increased NEC or mortality.

Published: June 2020

Background
Naturally colored cotton has become increasingly popular because of their natural properties of color, UV protection, flame retardant, antibacterial activity and anti-mildew. But poor fiber quality and restricted color choices are two key issues that have limited the cultivation of naturally colored cottons. To identify the possible pathways participating in fiber pigmentation in naturally colored cottons, three differently colored cotton (with green, brown and white colored fiber) were chosen for a comprehensive analysis of phenylpropanoid metabolism during fiber development.
Results
The expression levels of flavonoid biosynthesis pathway genes in brown cotton fibers were significantly higher than in white or green cotton fibers. Total flavonoids and proanthocyanidin (PA) were high in brown cotton fibers but low in white and green cotton fibers, which suggested that flavonoid biosynthesis pathway might not participate in the pigmentation of green cotton fibers. Further expression analysis found that genes encoding enzymes for the synthesis of caffeic acid derivatives, lignin and lignan were activated in 10 DPA (days post-anthesis) and 15 DPA fibers of green cotton.
Conclusions
Our results strengthen understanding of phenylpropanoid metabolism and pigmentation in different colored cottons, and may provide strategies for improving green color and brown color cottons.

Background: It has gradually recognized that the patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have cerebral hemodynamic disorders. The purpose of the present study was to exploit a novel computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model, which could be used to measure intracranial hemodynamics quantitively in AD patients and to further explore how the hemodynamic changes are involved in progression of AD.Methods: A novel CFD model was constructed by personal magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), vessel ultrasound and blood pressure value of all subjects, of whom included AD patients, vascular dementia (VaD) patients and well-matched healthy controls (HCs). Demographic, clinical and imaging data of all subjects were recorded and analyzed. Quantitative total cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebrovascular resistance (CVR) were compared among three groups, in order to ascertain the potential hemodynamic disorders in AD patients.Results: Total CBF and CVR of AD patients were significantly different from those of HCs (both P<0.01), but not different from patients with VaD (both P>0.5), despite the cerebral arteries in AD patients were anatomically intact. Total CBF was negatively correlated with total CVR (rs=-0.822, P<0.001) in AD patients. Comparing with HCs, Elevated CVR (OR=2.25, P=0.004) and age ( OR=2.06, P=0.021) were independent risk factor of AD.Conclusions: CFD can be applied to non-invasively and conveniently quantify and visualize biomechanical changes of cerebral blood flow. Patients with AD have dysfunction of cerebral hemodynamic, including lower CBF and higher CVR, and the CVR was an independent risk factor of AD. These findings provide quantitative evidence to support that increase of cerebrovascular resistance may involve in development of AD.

Published: June 2020

Background Occupational stress in midwifery is one of the undesirable factors that can lead to job burnout and even job loss, and affect the quality of treatment and care for patients. This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of occupational stress among Iranian midwives.Methods Through searching national and international databases, including Scientific Information Database (SID), MagIran, Google Scholar, Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus, a total of 9 observational studies with full texts were extracted. The meta-analysis was conducted using the random effects model, and the I2 index was used to assess heterogeneity between studies. The analyses were performed using Stata software, version 11.Results An analysis of 11 articles showed that the pooled prevalence of occupational stress in Iranian midwives was 70.85% (95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 58.42–83.29). Also, meta-regression analysis showed that the prevalence of occupational stress was not related to mean age (p = 0.653), work experience (p = 0.863), articles’ publication year (p = 0.158), and sample size (p = 0.292).Conclusion Occupational stress among Iranian midwives has a high prevalence that can have harmful consequences for them and patients. Therefore, the training of stress coping strategies seems to be appropriate for this group.

Published: June 2020

Introduction:The aim of this study was determined the level of awareness among women regarding risk factors for cervical cancer and screening methods, their sources of information, and general attitudes toward Pap smear screening tests and human papilloma virus vaccination.Method: A cross-sectional interviewer administered an electronic questionnaire among women in Najran City during the period from March 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 25.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.Result: A total of 3,387 women participated in this study. Less than 10% of the participants had good awareness and 70% had poor awareness about the risk factors for cervical cancer. In terms of the major barriers to taking the Pap smear test among married women, 968 (56.7%) had no knowledge of the test and 338 (19.85%) considered it unnecessary. Significant predictors of the level of awareness about cervical cancer and Pap smear testing were identified as the age of women, occupation, family history of cancer, monthly income (P < 0.001) and education level (P = 0.003).Conclusion: we detected a lack of awareness about risk factors for cervical cancer and the benefits of early detection among women in this region. Healthcare providers should implement policies or programs for cervical cancer screening and vaccination throughout all primary healthcare centers.

Published: June 2020

Background: Colorectal cancer is one of the top ten cancer death in the world. Despite an increased prevalence of colorectal cancer has been documented from developing countries, reports on gut microbiota among colorectal cancer patients are none especially in Ethiopia. Therefore, the current study evaluated cultivable aerobic bacterial distributions among malignant tissue of colorectal cancer and its adjacent normal biopsies. Methods: Fifteen CRC patients who were undergoing colorectal cancer resection surgery during April 2017 to February 2018 at Felege Hiwot Referral and University of Gondar Teaching Hospitals were included. Biopsy specimens were taken from malignant and its adjacent normal tissues. Bacterial cultivation, quantification and characterization of saline washed biopsies were performed under aerobic and candle jar conditions. Differences in bacterial microbiota compositions between malignant and normal tissue biopsies were evaluated and analyzed using Microsoft excel 2010 and GraphPad Prism5 statistical software. Results: Fifteen CRC patients were participated with a mean age of 53.8 ± 10.8 years old and majorities (73.3%) of patients were in between the age groups of 40 and 60 years old. The mean ± SD bacterial microbiota of malignant biopsies (3.2x10 5 ± 1.6x10 5 CFU/ml) was significantly fewer than that of adjacent normal tissue biopsies (4.0x10 5 ± 2.2x10 5 CFU/ml). This dysbacteriosis is positively correlated with the occurrence of CRC (p=0.019). Proteobacteria (55.6%), Firmicutes (33.3%) and Fusobacteria (11.1%) were the most frequently isolated phyla from non-malignant biopsies while only Proteobacteria (58.8%) and Firmicutes (41.2%) were from malignant ones. Family level differences were observed among phyla (Firmicutes and Proteobacteria) isolated from the study participants. For instance, the relative abundance of family Bacillaceae from malignant (26%) was lower than the normal biopsies (39%). On other hand, family Enterobacteriaceae was twice more abundant in malignant tissues (45%) than in its matched normal tissues (23%). Furthermore, the family Enterococcaceae (14%) of family Firmicutes was solely isolated from malignant tissue biopsies. Conclusion: The overall microbial composition of normal and malignant tissues was considerably different among the study participants. Further culture independent analysis of mucosal microbiota will provide detail pictures of microbial composition differences and pathogenesis of CRC in Ethiopian settings.

Published: June 2020

Background: Covid-19 morbidity and mortality are associated with a dysregulated immune response. Tools are needed to enhance existing immune profiling capabilities in affected patients. Here we aimed to develop an approach to support the design of focused blood transcriptome panels for profiling the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: We designed a pool of candidates based on a pre-existing and well-characterized repertoire of blood transcriptional modules. Available Covid-19 blood transcriptome data was also used to guide this process. Further selection steps relied on expert curation. Additionally, we developed several custom web applications to support the evaluation of candidates. Results: As a proof of principle, we designed three targeted blood transcript panels, each with a different translational connotation: immunological relevance, therapeutic development relevance and SARS biology relevance. Conclusion: Altogether the work presented here may contribute to the future expansion of immune profiling capabilities via targeted profiling of blood transcript abundance in Covid-19 patients.

Published: June 2020

Background: Micronutrients are minerals and vitamins required in small amounts, and they are essential for the normal physiological activities. The objectives of the study were to describe the progress and determinants of micronutrients level and to assess the effect of micronutrients in the treatment outcomes. Methods: A prospective cohort study was implemented. The data were collected using interviews, measuring anthropometric indicators, collecting blood, urine and stool samples from each patient. The blood samples were collected five times: before starting anti-leishmaniasis treatments, in the first week, in the second week, in the third week and in the 4th week of anti-leishmaniasis treatments. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the profile of patients and to compare the treatment success rate of Kalazar patients. The generalized estimating equation was used to identify the determinants of serum micronutrients.Results: The serum zinc level of Kalazar patients was affected by alcohol, DDS, family size, HIV, and sex. The serum iron level of kalazar patients was affected by alcohol, family size, malaria, hookworm, chronic disease, and HIV. The serum selenium level of kalazar patients was affected by HIV and family size. The iodine level of kalazar patients was affected by HIV, DDS, smoking, chronic illness, and regular physical exercise. The serum vitamin D level of kalazar patients was affected by HIV, alcohol, chronic illness, DDS, malaria, family size, age, residence, and MUAC. The serum vitamin D level of kalazar patients was affected by BMI, DDS, malaria, hookworm, family size, HIV, and age. Conclusion: The Micronutrient levels of Kalazar patients were significantly low. Anti-leishmaniasis treatment did not increase the serum micronutrient levels of the patients.

Published: June 2020

Background: Central nervous system (CNS) opportunistic infections (OIs) is one of the most important complication in Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) patients. As far as the cerebral parenchymal OIs (encephalitis) are concerned, the sensitivity and specificity of pathogens routine test methods are not highly acceptable at present. Objective: Detect the pathogens of cerebral parenchymal OIs in AIDS patients by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), to evaluate the utility of this method, and observe the etiology characteristics of cerebral parenchymal OIs and their impact on the prognosis in AIDS patients. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study design involving 33 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPET) samples of cerebral inflammatory lesions in AIDS patients from 2012 to 2020 were retrieved from the Department of Pathology, Beijing Ditan hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University. Pathogen-specific primers were used to detect DNA from cytomegalovirus (CMV), toxoplasma gondii (TG) and John Cunningham virus (JCV), via real-time PCR. Follow-up visits were conducted by telephone and outpatient service. Survival time after operation was counted. Results: Of 33 samples sent for PCR, 90.91% (30/33) were positive, 33 pathogens detected. JCV accounted for 60.61% (20/33) of all causes of cerebral parenchymal OIs, 21.21% (7/33) for CMV, 18.18% (6/33) for TG. IgG antibody against TG in serum (P=0.005) and in CSF (P=0.013) obviously correlated with TG expression in FFPET. The 0 pathogen patients tend to suffer from solitary lesion (P=0.018). JCV positive patients in FFPET tended to have higher odds of death (P=0.0096), whereas patients with TG positive showed lower odds of death (P=0.0431). Conclusion: JCV is the most prevalent pathogen of cerebral parenchymal OIs among AIDS patients, and tend to have a poor prognosis. The utility of the diagnostic method for pathogen identification by PCR combined with the investigation of etiological characteristics may improve the diagnosis and prognosis of AIDS related cerebral parenchymal OIs patients.

Published: June 2020

Background: The United States is experiencing an interrelated public health crisis, involving the management of chronic pain and the risks associated with opioid misuse. As millions of individuals suffer with chronic pain and as opioid misuse and overdose deaths continue to escalate, the need to advance evidenced-based harm reduction research in this area is critical. Methods: We developed the Integrated Psychosocial Group Treatment (IPGT) protocol, which is a harm reduction treatment targeting psychosocial factors for chronic pain patients at risk for opioid misuse. The objective of this study is to examine feasibility; acceptability; and preliminary efficacy. Chronic pain patients at risk for opioid misuse (N=30) will be randomized to either IPGT or treatment as usual (TAU). Outcome variables will be collected at pre and post-treatment (6 weeks), in addition to a follow up (9 weeks). We hypothesize that the application of IPGT will cause a reduction in opioid misuse, enhanced knowledge of overdose education and naloxone distribution, and improved pain severity, interference, and pain catastrophizing. Discussion: This study will provide initial support for IPGT as being acceptable and feasible for delivery in chronic pain patients at risk for opioid misuse in addition to preliminary efficacy. Findings will provide greater insight into strategies that address this health crisis and given the current epidemic in conjunction with the lack of literature, this research is urgently needed.

Pregnant women's perceptions of anaemia in pregnancy at the urban health facility in Ahougnansou (centre-north Côte d’Ivoire)
Authors: ANOUA Adou Serge Judicaël
Published: June 2020

Background: Anaemia in pregnancy is an issue of concern in the reduction of reproductive health morbidity in Côte d'Ivoire. This research aimed to describe the meaning of anaemia and analyze its explanatory factors from the perspective of pregnant women in a hospital setting in Ahougnansou in the city of Bouaké in the Centre-North of Côte d'Ivoire.Methods: This qualitative research was descriptive-interpretive. Individual interviews were conducted with twenty (20) participating pregnant women in the hospital environment of Ahougnansou. The data were analyzed using a content analysis supported by a thematic grid.Results: Perceptions have identified anaemia in pregnancy as a life-threatening reproductive morbidity for both mother and child. Its specific image has been associated with a lack of blood in the body, symptoms of fever, dizziness, fatigue, lack of appetite, pallor, thinness and an aetiology relating to food bans. In addition, the explanatory logics noted its link with irrational health behaviours such as irregular consultations, inaccessibility to edifying advice, lack of early detection, lack of use of daily oral iron and folic acid supplementation, lack of mobilization of financial resources and non-observance of a balanced diet. Conclusion: Examination of the social representation of anaemia in pregnancy leads to relevant insights into the irrational health behaviours of pregnant women. Searching for appropriate long-term solutions to this morbidity requires the immersion of midwives in the living environment of pregnant women and specific community health actions in populations in order to circumscribe the reproductive practices involved in resistance to nutritional recommendations in pregnancy.
What is the main problem in the conservative management of complicated appendicitis? A meta-analysis
Authors: Zhang Chi , Ren Xuemeng , Gao Peng
Published: June 2020

Background: As one of the classified groups of appendicitis, complicated appendicitis has no standardized treatment methods for adults.Method: The efficacy of surgical treatment and conservative treatment for complicated appendicitis was evaluated based on the literatures systematically searched on PubMed, Cochrane and Web of Science. A focus was given to important aspects, such as the outcomes of the length of stay, operation time, postoperative complications and unplanned additional interventions. Result: A total of 14 studies were involved in the meta-analysis, which included 845 patients in the immediate operation group (IO) and 756 patients in the conservative management group (CM). The total hospitalization time for patients with surgical treatment was decreased by 1 day (WMD= -1.29, 95% CI [-2.42, -0.16], P= 0.03< 0.05) compared to that of patients with conservative treatment. The incidence of unplanned additional interventions in patients who underwent emergency surgery is lower than that of patients with conservative treatment (OR=0.18, 95%CI [0.11, 0.30], P<0.00001). Compared to patients with conservative treatment, patients who received surgery are more likely to develop complications such as wound infection (OR=2.41, 95%CI [1.08, 5.38], P=0.03<0.05) and intestinal obstruction (OR=4.14, 95%CI [2.21, 7.75], P<0.00001). The incidence of abdominal abscess in patients with surgery treatment was lower than that of patients with conservative treatment, but the difference was not statistically significant (OR=0.9, 95%CI [0.54, 1.47], P=0.66>0.05). Conclusion: In treating complicated appendicitis, patients who received immediate operation, when compared to patients managed under conservative treatment, have shorter hospitalization time and less unplanned interventions; hence significantly reduce the likelihood of readmission. This can decrease the requirements for follow-up treatments and ultimately lower the consumption of medical resources.

Title: Architectural Conservation Perspective In Javanese Community

Traditionally, Indonesian, with tropical climate, use wooden material for their building. The consequences of that material and the tropical climate is building cannot durable compare stone material. The building needs renewal more frequently and sometimes reconstruction.This study focus in Java building (houses) and their culture. In Javanese manuscripts (primbon), repairing the house is the same level with build the new one. To repair or to build the house for Javanese is not only the technical aspect (like structure or the form), but also about the connection with nature and their expectation in the future. Based on that understanding what the meaning of the conservation in Javanese culture? The subject for this study is architectural Javanese manuscripts (Primbon, Kawruh Kalang, and Kawruh Griya). This study uses hermeneutics method by Paul Ricouer. There are three steps: step one is to build the conservation understanding in Javanese culture, using content analysis. Step two is validation. This step using Ngibikan Village for case study. Step three is discussion. This step exploring the philosophical aspect in Javanese culture and compare with Ricouer thinking about „history,memory and forgetting?. The result of this exploration studies that for Javanese culture, conservation not only discuss about building. Based on Javanese philosophy that live only „stop? for drink (urip mung mampir ngombe), the conservation is a process, not result; the conservation is dynamic or change, not permanent or unchanged.

Title: Study on the Location of Surakarta's Forts (1672, 1743, 1756, 1832)

The Fortress in Surakarta (Vastenburg) was established in 1745 (Soedarmono, Kusumastuti, 2002). Some documents mention that the fort was built in 1743 referring to it as the De Grootmoedigheid (De VOC Site, 2015).The purpose of this paper is to discuss the possibility that there might be some other fortresses in Surakarta. This argument is based on descriptions given by William Barrington D'Almeida in Java documented in his book Live in Java: with Sketches of the Javanese, Vol. II in 1864 in which it is stated that a fort was established in Surakarta in 1672, that was built based on Vauban and Descartes design ideas. There is further evidence: A map of "geprojecteerde fort van Soeracarta" dated to the year 1756 which turned out to be matching closely to the fortress?s remains that can be seen today on the aerial photographs of the suburbs of Bengawan Semanggi. An analysis will be applied to proof the locations of several fortresses in Surakarta build in 1672,1743,1756 and 1832 based on documents, maps and aerial photographs. The result of this paper is a list and description of fortresses in Surakarta.

Title: Interpretation of Deleuze and Guattari Theories in Architecture

Philosophy influenced all architects through theories of philosophy which is it acted as a set of the idea to practice in design. It is can be looked at the contemporary architectural trend which trying to demonstrated the deconstruction philosophy through architecture style, or it is can be observed in architecture literature which trying to adopt the philosophy of phenomenology and so forth. These examples revealed that there are relationship between philosophy and architecture. So, In this case, the philosophy become very important and then to be an alternative in term of exploration and searching the new concepts of creation of architecture. Both of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guatari are thinkers or philosophers that revolutionary. Their thought influenced architecture although not so much whom that directly apply their work. In this paper, we try to interprete their toughts which covered Desire-Machine Concept, Territorialization- Deterritorializatiion-Reterritorialization Concept, and Rhizome-Tree Concept as well as its application in the field of architecture. It can be an image or an idea of design.

Title: Culture of Tectonics Wologai – Ende, a Traditional House Constructed of Art Central Wologai Village, District Detusoko, Ancestral Heritage, Waeo – Ata Lio Under the Foothills of Lepembusu

As a counterbalance to globalization in the field of architecture, an in-depth understanding of local architecture had been seen as an opportunity for a region to play an active role in the global era. One way to develop an understanding of local architecture is through the art of construction, or widely known as tectonics. The word architecture itself was known to derive from the word archi, which means master and tekton, which means woodworker (carpenter) or builder. Thus, the study of tectonics was important to understand how architects express their ideas through an integrated architectural - structural system. Unfortunately, profound research into this field has rarely been conducted so far. This study aims to an understanding of architectural tectonics in Wologai, Flores, Nusa Tenggara Timur. As one of the oldest village in Flores, the indigenuous people of Wologai had been known for surviving the pressures of the developing world whilst maintaining their unique culture that were reflected in their vernacular buildings. This study consists of the following steps: Firstly, to record how local builders built their architecture through observation and interviews. Secondly, to develop an understanding about architectural tectonics based on related literature. The last step was to analyse and formulate architectural tectonics of Wologai vernacular architecture.

Title: Spatial Planning of Tradisional Architecture as Observed among the Atoni Tribe in the Tamkesi Kampong on Timor Island

This research aims to investigate the concept of spatial planning found in the traditional architecture of the Atoni tribe living in the traditional kampong of Tamkesi on Timor Island. The method employed for this research project consists of the following steps: first of all, to record and re-sketch the entire physical state of this kampong in the greatest possible detail. The result of these sketches is subsequently subjected to an anatomical analysis to arrive a classification of the relationship between all of the elements encountered and scrutinized; secondly, to make an analysis by exposing the latter to the principles of identification and orientation. The analysis is based on an elaboration of the phenomenological approach by Norberg-Schulz and the structural approach involving function-form-meaning by Salura.

Based on the outcome of this analysis, the local concept serves as the basis for the spatial planning of traditional architecture as observed in the Tamkesi kampong. The conclusion drawn reveals that the relationship between the immediate environment, the site, form, framwork and the natural-cultural cycle in traditional architecture is clearly influenced by the concept of top-down (upper vs. lower) hierarchy as well as the binding element (datum) of the tribal order (hierarchy, the gender code/etiquette, ethnic bonds and traditional customs as well as cultural and spiritual symbols).
