Authors: Hrynokh N. V. , Dmytruk V. I. , Diachenko L. A. , Kniazevych A. O.
Published: October 2019

The research is devoted to the disclosure of socio-economic aspects of cross- border cooperation in the field of tourism of Ukraine and Poland, which is important in today’s conditions of development of globalization processes and transformation of social relations. Such relationships are formed between people in different geographic areas, which determine their social mood and social behaviour. The signing of the visa-free travel agreement between Ukraine and the EU on 17 May 2017 and its entry into force on 11 June 2017 has become an important factor in the development of tourism in Ukraine and Poland, in particular within the border areas and in the context of cross-border cooperation of the Carpathian Euroregion. Tourists from Ukraine have better opportunities than before to travel to many European countries, and tourist migration contributes to the integration of peoples, building good-neighbourly relations and tolerance, economic, cultural, scientific and other forms of cooperation. That     is why it is necessary to study the socio-economic aspects of the development of tourism in Ukraine and Poland at the level of the Carpathian Euroregion. The attention of the authors of this article is devoted to the study of the historical and cultural heritage of the four regions of Ukraine and the counties of Poland included in the Carpathian Euroregion as one of the important factors influencing the development of tourism. The article analyzes a number of key indicators of the activity of the subjects of the tourist market and the trends in their changes, as well as the geographical structure of tourist flows and the administrative and territorial division of the regions of the Ukrainian-Polish transboundary. Positive trends in the growth of a number of key indicators of tourism activity in Lviv region give reason to assert the high level of activity of tourism services market participants and that Lviv region has good preconditions for the development of many types of tourism , which can increase the flow of revenue to local budgets. Statistical materials of the Main Department of Statistics in Lviv Oblast have also made it possible to analyze the indicators for those areas that are part of the Carpathian Euroregion and characterize the specifics of the development of the tourism sector. It is proposed to form an updated marketing strategy for tourism management in Ukraine in the context of the changing conditions that have taken place in the tourist services market after the entry into force of the visa-free travel agreement between Ukraine and the EU, which will positively influence the development of tourism in Ukraine and Poland at the level of the Carpathian Euroregion.

Published: October 2019

Balancing of the tourism services’ development and natural environment’ opportunities is problem during anthropogenic effect is increasing. Migration of the population is increasing with the growing of the globalization process. As a result there is a duality in the development of tourist infrastructure and increasing the influence of tourists on ecology, changing of ecosystem. The article deals with the factors influencing the choice of tourists, tourist flows, analysis of the countries, where there is the greatest attendance of places of the rest. The correlation coefficient between indicators of environmental safety and tourists’ attendance is calculated. On the example of the Kyiv region, dynamic indicators and the relationship between emissions of harmful substances and environmental costs, as well as the number of tourists, were calculated. Three recreation areas on the Black Sea coast in the territory of three different countries are analyzed. Conclusions about different degrees of water’s and coastal area’s pollution and the Odessa coast’s pollution as a whole are made. Pollution of the Black Sea whole loch affects on the environment degradation of cross-border territories and tends to dampen the attractiveness for the recreation’s development of the sea rest. The analysis of pollutant emissions and the accumulated waste in the Odessa region is made and the anthropogenic effect on the coastal areas of the Black Sea region in Ukraine, Bulgaria and Romania is compared. The consequences of austerity on the environment preservation are explored and described. It leads to losses that are arise from decrease of the employability of local inhabitants and their diseases, of natural resources’ depletion, increasing of probability of natural disasters in the long term. In the article the conclusions about the effect of the tourists’ traffic and its’ influence on the ecology of the recreation areas and the slow anthropogenic impact on the new territories are made. The ways and solutions of modernization and reconstruction of the objects of the tourism infrastructure are suggested. They should to aim at increasing of the tourism’s traffic and enhance new and modern buildings of the recreation infrastructure.

Published: October 2019

AIMS: To relate the effect of progressive increases in the load of the school backpack with the posture of university students.METHOD: Twenty-six female university students from the physiotherapy course, aged between 18 and 25 years, were evaluated. Loads of 0%, 3%, 5%, 7%, and 10% of the volunteers’ body weight were placed in a backpack on the shoulders of the volunteers. Next, images were captured in the right sagittal plane, processed through Postural Assessment Software (SAPO). The statistical analyzes were performed using Analysis of Variance test.RESULTS: The results obtained demonstrated significant differences in the angles between the elbow and the anterior superior iliac spine when carrying 7% compared to 0% (p=0.001); and the acromion and anterior superior iliac spine comparing 7% with 0%, (p=0.032). In the other measurements, there were no significant differences.CONCLUSION: Loads from 7% of body weight are sufficient to promote postural changes.

AIMS: To evaluate the profile of men with cancer who performed semen cryopreservation prior/during treatment and address the importance of this method for reproductive health.METHODS: This was a transversal and retrospective study which used a database from a Reproductive Medicine Center located in Brazil. A total of 150 male patients who performed semen cryopreservation due to cancer diagnosis, from January 2014 to December 2017, were included.RESULTS: The profile of men seeking fertility preservation prior/during treatment for cancer was young adults, single, childless, with higher education. Oncologists were the ones who reported more patients for semen cryopreservation followed by urologists and hematologists. With regards to tumor diagnosis frequency, testicular was the most diagnosed, followed by Hodgkin’s/non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, leukemia, prostate and rectal tumor, along with retroperitoneal tumor.CONCLUSION: Data brought the reflection on the cultural and financial barriers involved for the accomplishment of cryopreservation. Health professionals attending cancer patients should consider the importance of educational and incentive activities to prevent male fertility. Future research on the subject should carried out.
Implementando o teste adaptativo computadorizado
Authors: Cecilio-Fernandes Dario
Published: October 2019

Traditionally, the assessment of knowledge consists of items, who students answered the same items at the same time, such as test of a specific subject. This assessment may be considered too easy or difficulty by the student. In both cases, the test is likely to be boring by the students and it may provide little information on students’ knowledge level. One way of solving this problem is by creating tailored tests for each student, considering that the next question will be selected based on students’ performance on previous items. This type of test is known as computerized adaptative test. Computerized adaptative test provides both educational and psychometrics advantages compared to the traditional paper-pen testing. Computerized adaptative test requires less items than the traditional test, which in turns will decrease students’ fatigue, and optimizing learning. Furthermore, computerized adaptative test is designed for each student, considering the level of difficulty of each item. This makes the teste more attractive and authentic, since the items will be always aligned with the level of students’ knowledge. Since computerized adaptative test requires both the difficulty of the item and students’ ability, it requires the use of Item Response Theory, which establish a relation between difficulty of the item, students’ ability and the probability of answering a question correctly. Although the implementation of computerized adaptative test is complex, computerized adaptative test has a higher standard in both psychometric point of view and the alignment with modern theories of learning. Because of the high complexity, the implementation of computerized adaptative test is usually in high-stakes test and large scale. However, the new educational paradigm in which requires tailored-made education respecting the pace of each student, the computerized adaptative test will be more used over time.
Além do Estado: Governança Privada na Interface entre Mudança Climática e Comércio Internacional
Authors: Marzano Franco Karina
Published: October 2019

Este artigo engloba a análise mais ampla do nexo comércio-clima, uma modalidade importante, mas ainda pouco pesquisada, de interação política. Ao realizar levantamento e revisão crítica da literatura, o texto apresenta conexões entre mudança climática e comércio internacional, e desafios para futuras agendas de pesquisa. Trata-se de um artigo teórico que se concentra em atores não-estatais, indo além do Estado como unidade de análise. Visto que esses atores se tornam ainda mais relevantes em um contexto de crise do multilateralismo, a análise se baseia em uma abordagem de governança privada que avalia o papel dos atores privados no esverdeamento das cadeias de fornecimento globais. Uma melhor compreensão de como as exigências climáticas são impostas por empresas a fornecedores nacionais e estrangeiros revela insights importantes sobre o impacto dos arranjos de governança privada na promoção do desenvolvimento sustentável e no cumprimento de metas climáticas.

Treatment of Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw Around the Dental Implant With a Once-Weekly Teriparatide: A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Kim Jun-Young , Park Jin Hoo , Jung Hwi-Dong , Jung Young-Soo
Published: October 2019

Managing medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) around a dental implant can be difficult. Although conservative treatment of MRONJ is recommended as the first-line form of management, many patients exhibit no improvement. The human recombinant parathyroid hormone teriparatide has recently been introduced for the management of MRONJ. Teriparatide is effective in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis and is the only US Food and Drug Administration–approved anabolic agent that directly affects osteoblast function and contributes to bone remodeling. Herein we describe a case of MRONJ in an 85-year-old woman who was successfully treated with teriparatide. Teriparatide was administered once per week without any surgical interventions such as a sequestrectomy. Compared with most recently reported cases involving daily treatment with teriparatide, once-weekly administration of teriparatide may minimize side effects and patient discomfort. Once-weekly teriparatide application without sequestrectomy may be effective in the management of MRONJ around a dental implant.

Authors: Molinero-Mourelle Pedro , Lam Walter , Cascos-Sánchez Rocio , Azevedo Luís , Gómez-Polo Miguel
Published: October 2019

The aim of this clinical report is to describe the use of the photogrammetric system and intraoral scanning as a reliable technique to record the 3-dimensional implant positions of a full-arch maxillary implant–supported fixed rehabilitation in which the implants were unfavorably positioned. The stereo camera of the photogrammetric system was used to capture the 3-dimensional panoramic position of the implants. The information on soft tissues was obtained with an intraoral scanner. Then, the 2 digital files (standard tessellation language [STL] files) were subsequently superimposed using a best-fit alignment function to generate the definitive digital model with information on teeth, soft tissues, and implants.
A Nationwide, Multicenter Registry Study of Antiemesis for Carboplatin-Based Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting in Japan
Authors: Iihara Hirotoshi , Shimokawa Mototsugu , Hayashi Toshinobu , Kawazoe Hitoshi , Saeki Toshiaki , Aiba Keisuke , Tamura Kazuo
Published: October 2019

Background

We previously reported the results of a prospective study of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in a cohort of patients who received carboplatin-based chemotherapy and were selected from a nationwide registry of those scheduled for moderately (MEC) or highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC) by the CINV Study Group of Japan. Of 1,910 previously registered patients (HEC: 1,195; MEC: 715), 400 patients received carboplatin-based chemotherapy. The frequency of CINV was determined, and the risk factors for CINV were assessed.

Materials and Methods

CINV data were collected from 7-day diaries. Risk factors for CINV were identified using logistic regression models.

Results

Of 400 patients scheduled for carboplatin-based chemotherapy, 267 patients received two antiemetics (5-hydroxytryptamine-3 receptor antagonist [5-HT3 RA] and dexamethasone [DEX]), 118 patients received three antiemetics (5-HT3 RA, DEX, and neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist [NK1 RA]), and 15 were nonadherent to the treatment. In these patients, the CINV overall, acute, and delayed phase rates of complete response (CR), defined as no vomiting with no rescue medication, were 67.0%, 98.2%, and 67.5%, respectively. The rates of no nausea were 55.6%, 94.0%, and 56.1%, respectively, and those of no vomiting were 81.3%, 99.0%, and 81.8%, respectively. Older age was associated with a decreased non-CR, whereas female sex, history of pregnancy-related emesis, and dual antiemetic therapy were associated with an increased non-CR during the overall period.

Conclusion

In a clinical practice setting, in patients who received carboplatin-based chemotherapy, adherence is quite high and appropriate antiemetic prophylaxis requires a triple antiemetic regimen including NK1 RA.
Geochemical modelling of multimineral evolution for a 15-month experiment
Authors: Baqer Yousef , Chen XiaoHui , Thornton Steven
Published: October 2019

The impact of hyper-alkaline leachate released from the cementitious barrier of a geological disposal facility on the host rock is a significant issue for the safety assessment of long-term nuclear disposal. However, modelling of multimineral transformations, multiple chemical reactions and multiple secondary-phase pathways remains a challenge due to uncertainties in parameters and a limited available database describing the kinetics of dissolution/precipitation reactions. In this study, a new modelling approach, mixed kinetic–equilibrium, was employed to study the complex reactions occurring in an experimental system consisting of Borrowdale Volcanic Group rocks permeated with a hyper-alkaline leachate for over 15 months. The modelling suggests that dissolution of primary dolomite, quartz, calcite and potassium (K) feldspar in the host rock initially drives the chemical evolution of this system. The subsequent precipitation of several secondary phases, including calcite, brucite, talc and calcium–silicate–hydrate phases, is predicted to control the long-term chemical equilibria and mineralogical composition of the host rock impacted by the alkaline leachate. The results from the modelling provide a deeper understanding of the long-term interactions between the host rock and high pH leachate, with dolomite predicted to be a major controlling phase on the geochemical evolution of the system.
Global Spillovers of a China Hard Landing

Published: October 2019

China’s economy has become larger and more interconnected with the rest of the world, thus raising the possibility that acute financial stress in China may lead to global financial instability. This paper analyzes the potential spillovers of such an event to the rest of the world with three methodologies: a VAR, an event study, and a DSGE model. We find the sentiment channel to be the primary spillover channel to the United States, affecting global risk aversion and asset prices such as equity prices and the dollar, in addition to modest real effects through the trade channel. In comparison, the combined financial and real effects to other advanced and emerging market economies, especially net commodity exporters, would be more consequential due to their larger direct exposure to China and more limited scope of monetary policy to respond to shocks.

Published: October 2019

Social networks currently hold leading positions in the modern media system. Corporate communications of the Russian higher education institutions are no exception. For this reason, higher education institutions being centers of education and science aim to meet the constantly changing standards of the media promotion. The main goal of the research Corporate communications of the Russian universities in social networks: effectiveness assessment is to analyze Russian universities practices in social networks. Which social networks do they use most actively; what type of content do they most frequently upload: photo, text or mixed data type; what are the specifics of higher schools social media strategies? This article presents the results gained from the research of the 10 leading Russian universities media communications in social networks. The research has shown that quality examination is more effective than quantity measurements while assessing the effectiveness of corporate communications. Moreover, the research covered the most popular social networks and characteristics of their efficiency. In fact, the high level of audience coverage, which is expressed in the number of subscribers, and an increasing number of publications per day (reaching sometimes 10 posts) do not always correlate to users engagement. This measurement is now the most meaningful for corporate communications.
Interventions for incarcerated adults with opioid use disorder in the United States: A systematic review with a focus on social determinants of health v1

Published: October 2019

Incarceration poses significant health risks for people involved in the criminal justice system. As the world’s leader in incarceration, the United States incarcerated population is at higher risk for infectious diseases, mental illness, and substance use disorder. Previous studies indicate that the mortality rate for people coming out of prison is almost 13 times higher than that of the general population; opioids contribute to nearly 1 in 8 post-release fatalities overall, and almost half of all overdose deaths. Further, Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) and health care are often interrelated difficulties and conflicting priorities for formerly incarcerated people. Given the interplay of incarceration, opioid use disorder (OUD), and social determinants of health, evidence is urgently needed on intersectional interventions to improve outcomes for this vulnerable group. We will conduct a systematic review of existing peer-reviewed literature published in the last 5 years that describe interventions for justice-involved people with OUD through a social-determinants lens. The purpose of this systematic review is to 1) identify interventions for opioid use disorder that are implemented as part of criminal justice system involvement, 2) determine which interventions also include a social determinants component, and 3) note any common elements between interventions with significant outcomes.
allele.variability v1
Authors: Beier Sara
Published: October 2019

A prerequisite to improve the predictability of microbial community dynamics is to understand their assembly mechanisms. To study factors that contribute to microbial community assembly, we examined temporal dynamics of genes in five aquatic metagenome time series, originating from marine off-shore or coastal sites and one lake, while focusing on a trait-based data evaluation. We expected to find gene-specific patterns for the temporal allele variability depending on the metacommunity size of carrier-taxa and variability of the milieu and the substrates that the resulting enzymes are exposed to. In more detail we hypothesized that a larger metacommunity would cause increased temporal variability of functional units, as shown previously for taxonomic units. Furthermore, we hypothesized that multi-copy genes feature higher temporal variability then single-copy genes, because gene multiplication is often the consequence of increased variability in (subtil) changes of substrate quality and quantity. Finally, we hypothesized that direct exposure of proteins to the extracellular environment would result in increased temporal variability of the respective gene compared to intracellular proteins as they would be exposed to highly variable conditions. The first two hypotheses were confirmed in all, while an effect of the subcellular location of gene-products was only seen in three out of the five time series. The gene with highest allele variability throughout all datasets was an iron transporter, which also represents a target for phage infections. This finding points to the general importance of iron transporter mediated phage infections on the assembly and maintenance of diversity of aquatic prokaryotes.
Induce Stroke via Hypoxia-Ischemia v2
Authors: Simpson Ian
Published: October 2019

Summary: This document describes the procedure for inducing a stroke in diabetic RCS10 mice, their non-diabetic controls and NON/ShiLtJ control mice. Our initial objective was to use those RCS10 mice that did not become diabetic as the controls for the experiment to compare the effect of diabetes on stroke outcome and that data is illustrated in Figure 2. However, with further breading the numbers of non- diabetic RCS 10 mice at twenty weeks of age were so few that it became necessary to use the NON/ShiLtJ mice which are 85% genetically identical to the RCS10 mice and stroke outcome is illustrated in Figure 3.

Making LB agar plates v1
Authors: Islam Priota
Published: October 2019

Luria broth (LB) is a nutrient-rich media commonly used to culture bacteria in the lab. The addition of agar to LB results in the formation of a gel that bacteria can grow on, as they are unable to digest the agar but can gather nutrition from the LB within. When required the addition of an antibiotic to this gel allows for the selection of only those bacteria with resistance to that antibiotic - usually conferred by a plasmid carrying the antibiotic resistance gene.

Published: October 2019

An increasingly common dialogue among mental health professionals revolves around adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and developmental trauma. ACEs can occur in a number of ways with a myriad of potential outcomes, often making treatment choices difficult. During critical stages of neurodevelopmental growth, trauma makes a mark on the brain and body at a physiological level. Although the National Institute of Mental Health’s Research Domain Criteria have been used to address this brain–body impact, the far-reaching scope of implications needs grounding in a theoretical framework. The current paper discusses developmental trauma and proposes a new reciprocally determinant model that advocates for neuroscience-informed counseling interventions such as neurofeedback therapy. Clinical implications and considerations for counselors are discussed.

Bu çalışmanın
amacı işgörenlerin psikolojik sözleşme ihlali algılarının örgütsel sessizliğe
etkisini incelemek ve kişilik özelliklerinin bu etki üzerindeki aracı rolünü
belirlemektir. İlgili alan yazın incelendiğinde psikolojik sözleşme ihlalinin
iş tatminsizliği, düşük örgütsel bağlılık, düşük örgütsel güven, örgütsel
sinizm, örgütsel sessizlik ve işten ayrılma niyetine girmek gibi pek çok
olumsuz sonucu olduğu görülmektedir. Ancak gerek örgütsel sessizlik konusunda
yapılan araştırmaların sınırlı sayıda olması gerekse kişi-örgüt uyumu açısından

América Latina y la salud de los trabajadores
Authors: Vásquez Venegas Carmen
Published: October 2019

Es importante mencionar que el trabajo dignifica al hombre, pues se convierte en un medio para la satisfacción de las necesidades básicas que requiere el trabajador. El trabajo se puede convertir en un problema cuando provoca enfermedades, accidentes e incluso la muerte. Como una consecuencia de no contar con las medidas para prevenir o mitigar los posibles factores de riesgo que estan relacionados con el entorno laboral. Según la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT), 2.7 millones de trabajadores mueren anualmente en el mundo por problemas relacionados al trabajo. Cerca de 2.4 millones de muertes se relacionan con las enfermedades originadas por la actividad laboral, y aproximadamente 380,000 trabajadores son derivados por accidentes laborales. En América Latina según la OIT, la información suministrada sobre este problema es parcial debido a que existen sub-registros de los datos. En cifras disponibles se menciona que se presenta una tasa de 11.1 accidentes mortales por cada 100,000 trabajadores de la industria, 10.7 y 6.9 en la agricultura, la minería y la pesca y el sector de servicios respectivamente. Los sectores de la construcción, la agricultura, la minería y la pesca son las actividades económicas que más riesgos laborales presentan.

fazla olduğunu göstermektedir. Aşırı kilo ve obeziteye yakalanma olasılıkları ile
bireyin eğitim seviyesi ve fiziksel aktivite durumu arasında güçlü negatif
ilişki bulunmuştur. Özellikle haftalık en az 10 dakikalık yürüyüş yapılan gün
sayısı arttıkça bireylerin üçüncü sınıf obeziteye yakalanma ihtimali yarı
yarıya azaltmaktadır. Bireylere ait ekonomik durum değişkenlerinden olan hane
geliri arttıkça kişilerin aşırı kilolu veya obez olma ihtimalleri de
artmaktadır. Gelişmiş ülke deneyimlerinin aksine gelişmekte olan ülkeler ve
Türkiye özelinde yapılan çalışmalara paralel olarak, kişinin gelir seviyesi
arttıkça toplam enerji ve toplam yağ alımının artacağı bu nedenle aşırı kilo ve

Authors: Shankar Poornima , Marol Jayalalitha S. , Awati Muragesh , Manohar Abhishek
Published: October 2019

Background: Global or regional evidence showed maternal height as a strong predictor of child survival. However, there is limited information that confirms the intergenerational effect of short maternal height on the risk of offspring mortality in Bangladesh. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the association of maternal height with neonatal morbidity and outcome.Methods: In this analysis authors took data of 100 women who delivered in Kempegowda Hospital in the year 2018 including anthropometry of the mother at admission, anthropometry of the newborn, NICU admissions. Neonatal outcome was assessed by birth weight, anthropometry and NICU admissions against maternal stature which was stratified into 4 groups.Results: Comparison of mean birth weight, head circumference and length showed significant relation with maternal height (p<0.001).Conclusions: Findings should draw the attention of the programme and policymakers to focus on improving maternal nutrition for better offspring nutrition, health and survival.

Authors: Pathak Gargi H. , Chauhan Anuya V. , Patel Priyanka B.
Published: October 2019

Background: Several sick neonates require transfer to tertiary level care neonatal unit for treatment. The facilities of neonatal transport in India are not optimal and the newborn thus transported can become hypothermic, hypoxic and/or hypoglycemic which can affect the neonatal outcome. These parameters can be maintained during transport by adopting simple measures. The aim and objective of this study is to study impact of acute physiological parameters during transfer of neonates on their immediate outcome by using TOPS score. TOPS score - Temperature, Oxygenation, Perfusion (Assessed by capillary refill time), Blood sugar.Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at the special newborn care unit, Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad enrolling 460 transported neonates. TOPS scoring for each neonate was done at admission, and then the parameters of the TOPS score were correlated with the outcome at 48 h of admission.Results: A total of 460 transported newborns were assessed, 47.8% newborns were hypothermic, 33.9% had poor perfusion, 27.8% were hypoxemic, and 22% were hypoglycemic. On correlating with the outcome, Hypoxemia and hypo perfusion had the highest sensitivity (92.2% and 57.3%, respectively) while hypoglycemia had the highest specificity (88%), for an adverse outcome.Conclusions: TOPS score is a useful and easy to use the method to assess the physiological status and predict early mortality in transported neonates.
Assessment of nutritional status of children aged 34-92 months using various nutritional status indices and validity of age independent indices
Authors: Gandra Nayantara R. , Masillamoni Kalavathy Jasmine
Published: October 2019

Background: Even though there are many programs run by Government to tackle the problem of malnutrition in India, problem of malnutrition is still there. Malnutrition leads to infections and even can lead to death of child in severe cases. The mortality rate is very high compared to other countries. The objective of the study to study validity of age independent various nutritional status indices in comparison to gold standard of weight for ageMethods: Present study was institution based cross sectional study carried out at SDA high school, from January 2019 to July 2019 among 58 school children aged 34-92 months of age. Anthropometric measurements like weight, height, head circumference, chest circumference, mid arm circumference were recorded as per the standard guidelines. Weight for height, weight of age, Kanawati Index, Jeliffe’s ratio, Rao index, and Dugdales index was calculated. Gold standard used was weight for age. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were calculated for these indices.Results: Majority of the children belonged to 48-60 months and 61-72 months i.e. 29.3% each. Males were more than females. Prevalence of malnutrition was 60.3%, 48.3%, 51.7%, 91.4%, and 56.8% based on weight for age, Kanawati index, Rao index, Jeliffe’s ratio and Dugdale’s index respectively. Dugdale’s index was found to have high sensitivity (85.7%) and specificity (86.9%) compared to all other indices.Conclusions: Among age independent indices of nutritional status available, Dugdales index can be used as it has been found that it has remarkably higher sensitivity and specificity compared to other age independent indices of nutritional status.
Sulfonamides: far from obsolete
Authors: Hassanein Mahmoud Moussa
Published: October 2019

Sulfa drugs or sulfonamides were introduced in 1935 by the German physician Gerhard Domagk (1895-1964). Domagk worked closely with two chemists, Fritz Mietzsch and Josef Klarer. They worked together on compounds related to synthetic dyes, testing their effects on infectious diseases. Their concerted work eventually led to the discovery of Prontosil (sulfamidochrysoidine), the first sulfa drug that showed an incredible antibacterial effect on diseased laboratory mice. Soon after the introduction of sulfonamides, penicillin was discovered and hailed as a more effective and a safer alternative. The production of sulfonamides lost its enthusiasm with the introductions of even more antibiotics. However; anti-bacterial Sulfonamides are far from being obsolete despite the introduction of newer classes of antibiotics. Interest in their use has been revived in the 1980s with AIDS epidemic, when a combination of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim (SMX/TMP) was recognized as the drug of choice for the treatment of Pneumocystis jirovecii (PCP) pneumonia. This review article is intended to update clinicians with the many still current recommendations for sulfonamides both as therapeutic and prophylactic agents; with mechanism of action and resistance; and with adverse side effects that clinicians need to watch for while using this class of antimicrobial.

Authors: A. Ramesh , V. Sampath , M. Shvedha
Published: October 2019

Background: Leprosy is a chronic infectious granulomatous disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. The disease primarily affects peripheral nervous system, the skin and certain other tissues. It is a spectral disease which is classified into five groups based on clinical, histopathological and bacteriological and immunological criteria as tuberculoid (TT), borderline tuberculoid (BT), mid-borderline (BB), borderline lepromatous (BL), lepromatous (LL) according to Ridley-Jopling classification. Adequate clinical information combined with histopathology and bacteriological index is helpful not only in classification of different types of leprosy, but also useful for management of cases.The objective of the study was to correlate clinical diagnosis with histopathological findings of leprosy.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted for one year from January to December 2018 in Leprosy clinic, Department of Dermatology, Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital and Madras Medical College, Chennai. The histopathological findings were compared with clinical diagnosis.

Results: A total number of cases attended leprosy clinic from January 2018 to December 2018 was 167 cases, among those 49 clinically diagnosed cases were included in the study. Out of 49 cases, maximum number of patients belonged to 30-50 years age group. Male to female ratio was 3.9: 1. Hypopigmented, hypoaesthetic patches were commonly seen. Clinically as well as histopathologically BT leprosy was common.The maximum histological correlation seen in lepromatous leprosy (100%) followed by BT (80%).

Conclusions: The study emphasises the role of skin biopsy in confirming the clinical diagnosis of leprosy and also as a therapeutic guide.

Respiratory disorders are common problems in farmers which have a high mortality rate in Yazd city. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare respiratory parameters as well as the prevalence of respiratory symptoms in three age groups in farmers and non-farmers.
Methods:
This case-control study was conducted on 300 farmers and 300 non-farmers in Yazd. Questionnaires including cognitive knowledge and symptoms of respiratory diseases were completed for all participants and lung function tests were also performed. Data were analyzed using independent T-t test, Chi square test or Fisher's exact test with spss24.
Results:
Spirometry results showed a significant reduction in respiratory capacity in the farmer group compared to non-farmer. In all three age groups, the prevalence of respiratory symptoms in farmers were higher than non-farmer groups and as the age increased, the prevalence of symptoms also increased. In the age group over 55, the risk of cough, phlegm, dyspnea and wheezing were 17,10.78,3.58 and 6.61 times more than non-farmers respectively. Among the symptoms of respiratory, cough had the highest and shortness of breath had the lowest prevalence.
Discussion and conclusion:
Regarding the prevention of high prevalence of respiratory disorders in farmers, the mechanization of agricultural practices, the promotion of health awareness of farmers by health professionals, appropriate implementation of training programs by the health department and assistance of Jihad-e-Agriculture are necessary
