Published: March 2022

The article presents the results of a study of the dynamics of motivational determinants of admission to a medical university. A voluntary anonymous survey of 244 graduate students in 2007 and 238 people graduating in 2020, studying in the specialties "General Medicine", "Pediatrics", "Dentistry", was carried out. The questionnaire asked to answer questions about the attractiveness of obtaining the profession of a doctor: "The prestige of the profession", "Family traditions", "Benefit people", "Material interest", "Striving for self-realization", "The ability to take care of the health of loved ones and their own", " Parents' advice ”,“ No problems with employment ”. The respondents could indicate several answers in the questionnaire. The analysis was carried out in the dynamic assessment of the respondents' answers with an interval of 13 years - 2007 and 2020. and by place in the ranking of motives in 2007 and 2020. According to the results of the study, during the observation period, the motive "To benefit people" occupies a stable leading position. Other motives such as "Family traditions", "Lack of problems with employment" have somewhat lost their relevance in the rating of assessing motivational determinants in 2020 and shifted from 6 to 8 levels, from 2 to 6, according to the considered motives. The motives "Prestige of the profession", "Striving for self-realization" and "Parents' advice" were somewhat actualized. The fifth step in the rating of motives remains for “Opportunity to take care of the health of loved ones and their own”. According to the results of the study, the motive “Material interest” was dominant in 2020. In 2007, a pragmatic orientation in the choice of the profession of a doctor was indicated in 9.5% of those who took part in the survey, in 2020 this indicator increased to 36.4%, in the ranking of motivational determinants it rose from the 7th step to 4. Results of the analysis of the dynamics of motivation for admission to a medical university showed the changing dominants of the motives for choosing the profession of a doctor over a thirteen-year period of time - there is a decrease in the subject's altruistic intentions that are of interest to society, and an increase in the pragmatic ones that interest this subject.

Published: March 2022

The development of a new direction in preventive medicine and obstetric practice requires the active development and implementation of effective comprehensive programs to optimize motor activity, increase the functional capabilities of the body and dynamic control of the content of vitamin D in the blood serum of women of reproductive age.
Materials and methods. 133 patients aged 20-35 years with normal body weight (70 women of group I) and overweight (63 women of group II) had a consistent increase in the level of motor activity (mobile applications on Android and Apple platforms) by 1 cent for 7 days for 5-7 weeks, which was combined with the appointment of vitamin D (respectively at a dose of 2000 ME/ day and 4000 ME/ day. The evaluation of the effectiveness of pregravidar preparation is given taking into account the dynamics of body weight, as well as the content of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in blood serum [25 (OH)D], total and ionized calcium, phosphorus and parathyroid hormone in comparison with the initial data.
Results. In comparison with the initial data after pregravidar preparation using the author's algorithm for increasing motor activity and the appointment of vitamin D, unidirectional positive effects of exercise tolerance and the dynamics of phosphorus-calcium metabolism in both groups were established within the reference values, but with higher serum levels of total and ionized calcium, phosphorus and a decrease in parathyroid hormone in women with normal body weight compared with women with BMI.
Conclusions. The combined use of the proposed daily physical activity with the appointment of vitamin D determined an increase in its content in blood serum, a decrease in body weight and an increase in the effectiveness of pregnancy in women with a BMI of up to 52.3%, and in women with normal body weight up to 91.4%. A comparative analysis of the results of vitamin D content and its ergogenic effects in women of reproductive age allows for a consistent centile increase in the daily number of locomotions and the administration of vitamin D up to 10-12 weeks and the approximation of body weight to the upper limit of the regulatory corridor (75-90 cents) in women with BMI, taking into account their personal consent and under dynamic control of calcium-phosphorus metabolism.

Published: March 2022

The results of the study of biocidal properties of silver, copper and silicon dioxide nanoparticles are presented. Questions about the safety of nanocomponents in connection with their unstudied impact on the environment are considered. To evaluate the biocidal effect of noble metal nanoparticles and bioelements, a unicellular eukaryotic test-system, represented by a ciliated protist microorganism Paramecium caudatum inhabiting pond water bodies, was used. It was found that solutions of noble metal nanoparticles and bioelements are not bioinert and biostimulating. Colloidal solutions of silver, copper and silicon dioxide nanoparticles have a biocidal effect and show a similar dosedependent effect if the concentration of nanoparticles in the initial colloidal solutions is the same (300 µg/ml). The colloidal silver solution is characterized by a more pronounced toxic activity in a unicellular protist biological model, since full biocidal activity against paramecium is provided by dilutions of the colloidal solution of nanoparticles to the value 1: 6 of the initial one. Compared to it, solutions of copper nanoparticles and silicon oxide have a biocidal index of 100% achieved only in values of two- or three-times dilution of the initial solution. Colloidal solutions of nanoparticles in concentrations that do not cause complete mortality of the infusoria (1: 5 of the original for copper and silicon oxide nanoparticles and 1: 7 of the original for silver nanoparticles) inhibit their reproduction intensity by approximately the same value of 55-61% (paramecium reproduction intensity index of 0.455 to 0.390 respectively).

O documento em análise declara a política «constitutiva» do homem e «englobante» com relação à sociedade (380). Diz que ela constitui objeto da missão da Igreja, que deve evangelizar «inclusive a dimensão política» (381). A política é vista também como campo da vivência da fé para o cristão. A Igreja «critica por isso — afirma o documento — aqueles que tentam reduzir o espaço da fé à vida pessoal ou familiar, excluindo a ordem profissional, económica, social e política, como se o pecado, o amor, a oração e o perdão não tivessem aí relevância» (381)...

ORDEM ECONÔMICA & INOVAÇÃO:
Authors: DE MACÊDO SCAFF LUMA CAVALEIRO , DA FONSECA PEREIRA LUIZ FELIPE
Published: March 2022

A inovação é fundamental para o desenvolvimento econômico e, na busca de estimulá-la, o Brasil se utiliza de incentivos fiscais, mas estes devem respeitar os preceitos constitucionais, em especial, os princípios da ordem econômica. Neste contexto, pretende-se estudar os incentivos fiscais voltados à inovação presente na Lei do Bem. Para isto serão apresentados o conceito de inovação, da ordem econômica nacional, bem como a apresentação da Lei do Bem no que tange seus incentivos fiscais à inovação. Realiza-se pesquisa exploratória sobre incentivos fiscais, inovação e tecnologia a fim de contribuir para o estado da arte por meio da pesquisa bibliográfica. Utiliza-se o método dedutivo, pois se adota a premissa de que é preciso inserir os pequenos empresários na difusão sobre a inovação diante dos princípios constitucionais. Com isso, conclui-se que a referida Lei, ao adotar a restrição ao regime de lucro real, dificulta o alcance dos benefícios as empresas de pequeno porte, favorecendo grandes empresas, o que acaba por afetar o ambiente de livre concorrência prejudicando as empresas menores.
Seven Steps to Organic Modernism: Alvar Aalto’s Civic Centre in Seinäjoki Seen through the Lenses of Bruno Zevi
Authors: Hynynen Ari
Published: March 2022

Some scholars point out that modern architecture has been comprised of two parallel currents from its very beginning: rational and organic. Although many interpretations of modernism highlight industrial standardisation and mass production, Bruno Zevi suggested that the basic ideas of functionalism already included the principles of organic architecture. Here organic does not refer to nature’s forms but to human life. In the 1970s, Zevi published his theory of seven invariants of modern architecture, which received mixed reviews. This study aims to update these invariants for being viable in our time by comparing them to Zevi’s former writings dealing with organic architecture and the role of space in architecture. The invariants will be tested and elaborated in empirical analysis of Aalto’s Civic Centre in Seinäjoki, Finland.

Studying Socioeconomic Status: Conceptual Problems and an Alternative Path Forward
Authors: Antonoplis Stephen
Published: March 2022

Socioeconomic status (SES, or social class) is considered an important determinant of psychological and life outcomes. Despite this importance, how to appropriately conceive of and measure it remains unsettled. In this article I argue that SES is, under conventional conceptions of the construct, an unmeasurable construct and present an alternative strategy for studying socioeconomic conditions. I make this argument using several lines of analysis. First, a literature review of 20 years of psychological research on SES reveals that psychologists rarely define SES theoretically (79.6% of articles did not) but call a great number of operationalizations measures of SES (147 in total). Second, current recommendations for studying SES permit contradictory predictions, rendering the recommendations unsatisfactory. Third, the appropriate measurement model for SES inhibits accumulation of results across studies, making studying the construct practically impossible. To rectify these issues, I reconceptualize SES as a set of socioeconomic conditions and develop a measurement strategy for studying these conditions. I conclude by considering implications for ongoing research on socioeconomic conditions, as well as for interpreting past research on SES.

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is characterized by enhanced cue-reactivity and the opposing control processes being insufficient. The ability to inhibit reactions to alcohol-related cues, alcohol-specific inhibition, is thus crucial to AUD; and trainings strengthening this ability might increase treatment outcome. The present study investigated whether neurophysiological correlates of alcohol-specific inhibition (I) vary with craving, (II) predict drinking outcome in AUD and (III) are modulated by alcohol-specific inhibition training. A total of 45 recently abstinent patients with AUD and 25 controls participated in this study. All participants underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during a Go-NoGo task with alcohol-related as well as neutral conditions. Patients with AUD additionally participated in a double-blind RCT, where they were randomized to either an alcohol-specific inhibition training or an active control condition (non-specific inhibition training). After the training, patients participated in a second fMRI measurement where the Go-NoGo task was repeated. Percentage of days abstinent was assessed as drinking outcome 3 months after discharge from residential treatment. Whole brain analyses indicated that in the right inferior frontal gyrus (rIFG), activation related to alcohol-specific inhibition varied with craving and predicted drinking outcome at 3-months follow-up. This neurophysiological correlate of alcohol-specific inhibition was however not modulated by the training version. Our results suggest that enhanced rIFG activation during alcohol-specific (compared to neutral) inhibition (I) is needed to inhibit responses when craving is high and (II) fosters sustained abstinence in patients with AUD. As alcoholspecific rIFG activation was not affected by the training, future research might investigate whether potential training effects on neurophysiology are better detectable with other methodological approaches.

Published: March 2022

The therapeutic effects of touch have been long reported. However, in the field of psychotherapy touch is the exception and talking therapies are the norm. Critically, evidence on clients’ experiences and perspectives of touch during psychotherapy is scarce and reliant on small samples. Moreover, despite converging evidence on the associations between touch and attachment, research on attachment traits and perceptions of psychotherapeutic touch is lacking. Here, we utilised the largest-to-date, UK survey on touch (N = 39254), identifying 6878 individuals reporting having received psychological therapy in the last 10 years, to explore 1) the perceived quantity and affective quality of therapeutic touch experiences, and 2) clients’ desire to be touched. We hypothesised that the above experiences and desires are moderated by therapeutic modality, adult attachment style dimensions and general touch attitudes. We found that 30% of the responders reported physical contact with their therapist, 70% of the sample reported that touch communicated support by the therapist, while 4% of clients reported it was inappropriate. In addition, higher scores in attachment-avoidance were negatively associated with affective quality of touch experiences. In relation to touch desire, 40% of our sample wanted their therapist to touch them, with individuals scoring higher on attachment-anxiety style being more likely to show desire for touch, whereas attachment avoidance reduced desire. Having cognitive-behavioural therapy reduced the desire for touch, whereas having body-oriented therapy increased it. This unprecedented, large scale data warrant further investigation on the potential usefulness of touch interventions in certain clients and in given modalities.
Political Bias in the Social Sciences: A Critical, Theoretical, and Empirical Review
Authors: Honeycutt Nathan , Jussim Lee
Published: March 2022

This chapter is a critical, theoretical, and empirical review of political bias. It is “critical” in that it roundly criticizes the manner in which the social sciences have allowed political biases to undercut the validity and credibility of their scholarship. It is a theoretical review because the chapter presents two complementary and synergistic models of academic bias (one about its manifestations, the other about its processes). It is empirical because the chapter then uses those models to review the now vast evidentiary case for political bias, and because this chapter presents new data providing further evidence of such biases. This chapter also highlights when proposed manifestations of political bias are plausible but not yet demonstrated – thereby also identifying potential directions for future empirical research.
Targeted, actionable and fair: reviewer reports as feedback and its effect on ECR career choices

Published: March 2022

Previous studies of the use of peer review for the allocation of competitive funding agencies have concentrated on questions of efficiency and how to make the ‘best’ decision, by ensuring that successful applicants are also the more productive or visible in the long term. This paper examines the function of peer review by examining how it can be used as a participatory research governance tool by focusing on the function feedback plays in assisting in the development of ECR applicants. Using a combination of survey, interviews and linguistic-based coding of reviewer reports, this study explores how reviewer reports provided to unsuccessful applicants as an artefact of the peer-review decision making process, can be considered as a method of feedback. Specifically, it examines which components of this feedback underpinned their decisions to re-submit their grant applications following first-failure; change their research topics or withdraw from academia entirely. Peer review feedback, we argue, sends signals to applicants to encourage them to persist (continue) or switch (not continue) even when the initial application has failed. The results lead to identification of standards of feedback for funding agencies and peer-reviewers to promote when providing reviewer feedback to applicants as part of their peer review process. The results also highlight a function of peer review overlooked by current research which is not concentrated solely on the development of an outcome, to one that can be used effectively to support the development of individuals and their future research plans.
Mainstreaming the Ambition, Coherence, and Comprehensiveness of the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework into Conservation Policy
Authors: Carroll Carlos , Rohlf Daniel J , Epstein Yaffa
Published: March 2022

Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity are finalizing a new Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) to more effectively guide efforts by the world’s nations to address global loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. Each party is required to mainstream these new targets into national conservation strategies. To date, such strategies have been criticized as largely aspirational and lacking clear linkages to national policy mechanisms, which has contributed to the world’s general failure to meet the Convention’s previous targets. We use the United States and European Union as examples to compare and contrast opportunities and barriers for mainstreaming the GBF more effectively into policy. The European Union and United States have unique relationships to the Convention, the former being the only supranational party and the latter, having signed but never ratified the treaty, adopting Convention targets on an ad hoc basis. The contrasting conservation policy frameworks of these two polities illustrate several conceptual issues central to biodiversity conservation and demonstrate how insights from the GBF can strengthen biodiversity policy even in atypical contexts. We focus on three characteristics of the GBF which are essential if policy is to effectively motivate and guide efforts to halt and reverse biodiversity loss: comprehensiveness, coherence, and ambition. Statutes in both the United States and European Union provide a strong foundation for mainstreaming the GBF’s comprehensiveness, coherence, and ambition, but policy development and implementation falls short. We identify six common themes among the reforms needed to successfully achieve targets for reversing biodiversity loss: broadening conservation focus to all levels of biodiversity, better coordinating conservation strategies that protect sites and landscapes with those focused on biodiversity elements (e.g., species), coordinating biodiversity conservation with efforts to safeguard ecosystem services including ecosystem-based climate mitigation and adaptation, more coherent scaling of targets from global to local extents, adoption of a more ambitious vision for recovery of biodiversity, and development of effective tracking and accountability mechanisms.
Helicobacter Pylori Infection Induced Henoch Schonlein Purpura: A Case Report
Authors: Bhandari Sajana , Thapa Deeptara Pathak
Published: March 2022

Henoch Schonlein Purpura (HSP) also known as IgA vasculitis, is an immune complex vasculitis affecting small vessels. We report a case of 53 years old female who presented with multiple reddish-brown purpuric papules over bilateral lower limb for 10 days. Her cutaneous findings were suggestive of HSP. She also had a history of recurrent dyspepsia for the past 6 months for which she had been taking antacid from a local pharmacy infrequently. To confirm her diagnosis, skin biopsy was sent for both histopathological examination and direct immunofluorescence which were suggestive of HSP. We referred her to the medicine department for her gastrointestinal complaints where upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed and the finding was consistent with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. The patient was started on a treatment regimen for H. pylori eradication which resulted in a dramatic improvement in both gastrointestinal complaints as well as cutaneous lesions. There are very few cases in the literature showing an association between HSP and H. pylori infection and none from our part of the world.

Published: March 2022

The global pandemic COVID‐19 presents with typical respiratory and extrapulmonary clinical manifestations. This has also been associated with a variety of rare dermatological manifestations predominantly in asymptomatic patients. Here, we present a unique case of a 33‐year‐old male, with acute urticaria not responding to routine drug treatment but tested positive for COVID‐19. We report this case as urticaria can be an initial manifestation of COVID‐19 without any other clinical findings. Taking this suspicion into consideration, timely diagnosis, treatment and transmission of the SARS‐COV‐2 infection can be prevented.

Exploring Critical Pedagogy in an Indonesian Higher Education: Possibilities and Challenges
Authors: Santoso Wulandari
Published: March 2022

The prior and recent literature on the second and foreign language education has touched upon a number of discussion regarding Critical Pedagogy (CP). CP is generally defined as an approach to teaching and curriculum that seeks to understand and the historical and socio-political context of schooling and pedagogical practices that aim not only to change the schooling, but also the wider society. This case study aimed to investigate the perspective of teachers towards CP in an Indonesian higher education in order to see the possibilities and the challenges of applying CP in this particular context. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data to five teachers, and the data was analysed using a thematic analysis. The result of this study revealed that while some of the teachers were in favour of implementing CP, the others seemed to be rather pessimistic due to some constraints they had in the classroom. Some strategies, e.g. problem posing techniques were found to be essential to engage the students in critical dialogue with the teachers. It is hoped that this research can shed new light on to what extent CP can be implemented in certain educational contexts and on possible challenges that teachers may face in the process.

The change of the media system as the goal of the media policy of the Law and Justice (PiS) government from 2015
Authors: Stasiak-Jazurkiewicz Ewa
Published: March 2022

This article is an attempt to demonstrate that the media policy of the PiS government after 2015 has had a systemic quality. It is aimed at altering the principles of how the media in Poland is organised and how it is functioning, which will facilitate the media’s instrumental exploitation in the government’s information policy. These findings emerge from a structured comparison based on the management theory of a classifier of goals with the concepts of public interest as a guideline of media policy as accepted in various forms of democracy and the corresponding media doctrines.

Published: March 2022

In this work an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique has been used for detection of some inflammatory markers in serum of acute coronary syndrome (ACS)-Patients Admitted to the cardiac care unit (CCU) of Iraqi Centre For Heart Diseases and Ibn AlNafees Teaching Hospital. The present method includes quantitative measurement of interleukine-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP), as their increase during symptoms may be responsible for identifying the mechanism of myocardial damag, in addition to their best performance than other quantitative tests perhaps due to their association with atherosclerotic process that belongs to the endothelial dysfunction. Aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence and correlation of IL-6 with CRP in ACS- patients presented with unstable angina/ non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (UA/NSTEMI) symptoms to be as new diagnostic parameters in Iraqi CCU. Seventy (70) ACS- patients with mean age (58.55 year Â±  9.98), from Jun.2009 to Feb. 2010 with diagnosis of UA/NSTEMI were included in this study. Proper history, physical examination, electrocardiograph (ECG), and Echocardiography (ECHO) were performed for all patients in addition to the routine laboratory works including fasting blood glucose, lipid profile, assay of transaminases activity (Aspartate and Alanine transaminase),and biomarkers analysis as cardiac troponin I and T, creatine kinase (CK and CK-MB) and myoglobin. Blood sample was collected from all patients for quantitative assay of IL-6 and CRP. All patients underwent diagnostic coronary angiography, were 66 of them with abnormal coronary outcome and four patients have normal coronary arteries, study include 39- male and 31 female. Seventeen of 67 patients (25.4%) had elevated serum level of IL-6 and fifty four of 62 patients (87.1%) had elevated serum level of CRP. Statistically found strong and significant (SS) correlation between IL-6 and CRP (assessed by Spearman's rho correlation coefficient, P<0.01). The significant proportion of UA/NSTEMI patients that had elevated serum levels of IL-6 and/or CRP, in addition to the strong correlation with coronary angiographic findings make these inflammatory markers to be considered  as risk stratification factors and good predictors for coronary artery disease independent of other traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Biological indicator of warming events: Presence of the Cortez angelfish Pomacanthus zonipectus at temperate conditions of Bahía de San Quintín, Baja California, México
Authors: Rosales-Casián Jorge A.
Published: March 2022

An individual of the Cortez angelfish, Pomacanthus zonipectus (Gill, 1862) was obtained at the temperate Bahía de San Quintín, Baja California, México (Lat. 30.428343, Long. 115.987014), on May 15, 2021. All counts, morphological descriptions, and colors of the specimen caught agree with the previous descriptions for the species P. zonipectus. The Cortez angelfish is a tropical fish species, and its presence at the temperate environment may possibly be associated with warming events, The Blob-El Niño 2013-2016, or the most recent moderate El Niño 2018-2019. This occurrence constitutes the first record for the Cortez angelfish in the San Quintín area, northern Pacific off Baja California, and after thousands of samplings with different fishing gears beginning in 1993. The Cortez angelfish was recently recorded in August 25, 2016 as a new occurrence in Laguna Ojo de Liebre, Baja California Sur, México, also in the same warming event of The Blob-El Niño 2013-2016; from Ojo de Liebre to Bahía de San Quintín represents a northward movement of 355 kilometers and a new record in its distribution.

Background: Coronary vessel dominance, defined by the coronary artery that supplies the posterior descending artery (PDA) and posterolateral branches, influences the relative contribution of the different coronary arteries to the total left ventricular blood flow. This work aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of coronary arterial dominance post primary PCI, during hospital stay and at 3-month follow-up, which include; cardiac mortality, heart failure, non-fatal myocardial infarction, re-vascularization, stroke/TIA and re-admission for ACS. Methods: This prospective observational study included 100 patients a with STEMI who underwent successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention with TIMI III flow and without procedural complications. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to coronary dominance: Right coronary dominant group (RCD), left coronary dominant group (LCD) and balanced coronary dominant group (BCD). All patients were subjected to transthoracic echocardiogram and coronary angiography and Primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Results: Ticagrelor and clopidogrel during hospital stay and on hospital discharge were significantly used more with RCA group than LCX group and LCX & RCA group (P=0.021, 0.012), (P=0.018, 0.014), respectively. GPIIB/IIIA was significantly more used during hospital stay with RCA group than LCX group and LCX & RCA group(P=0.014). Nitrates was significantly used more on hospital discharge with RCA group than LCX group and LCX & RCA group (P<0.001). Conclusions: Coronary arterial domi¬nance showed significant prognostic value in cases of myocardial Infarction after PCI, heart failure in LCX cases and in revascularization, heart failure, and stroke/TIA cases in RCA. Further, readmission for ACS was the most common outcome in all groups after 3-months follow-up.

The outcome of COVID-19 patients once admitted to the Intensive Care Unit can be compared as to their immunization status. As a stronger immune response is very important for recovery in all medical situations. From a total number of 181 patients with COVID-19 infection admitted to the ICU that had been fully vaccinated with two doses and at least 21 days before admission, all clinical and risk factors parameters were calculated. As it turned out there was a significant fall in all complications and the mortality rate was 10% less than that expected by the SAPS3 (43%). The authors emphasize the recommendation for complete vaccination for COVID-19 having had a very significant fall in the mortality rate. Most COVID-19 vaccines are designed to elicit immune responses, ideally neutralizing antibodies (NAbs), against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

Pregnancy is associated with series of biochemical changes such as changes in cardiovascular markers. These changes may contribute to risk of developing cardiovascular disease among this group of people. Therefore, this work was aimed at evaluating changes in cardiovascular biochemical markers in pregnancy. This research was a cross-sectional study with 150 female subjects divided into three groups; control (non-pregnant women), 2nd trimester and 3rd trimester. Each of the group had 50 subjects each. Subjects were selected randomly from Rivers State University and Rivers State University Teaching Hospital. Fasting blood was collected using venipuncture technique (WHO, 2010). The collected blood was carefully dispensed into plain vacutainer tubes and assayed for uric acid, Apo A1 and B, CRP, TG, HDL and TC while VLDL and LDL were calculated. The data obtained from the study were analyzed using GraphPad Prism Version 8.0.2.263. ANOVA results revealed that there were significant differences in TC, TG, LDL, HDL, VLDL, CRP, ApoA1, and ApoB levels among non-pregnant, 2nd trimester and 3rd trimester groups of normotensive pregnant women (P<0.05) except for uric acid (UA) that showed no significant difference. Post hoc analysis revealed significant difference in studied parameters between groups except in HDL, TG and VLDL in non-pregnant and 2nd trimester group while UA remained non-significant between compared groups. This study has shown that pregnancy causes significant changes in cardiovascular risk markers in healthy pregnant women.

Background: HIV-infection resulted in CD4+ T-cell depletion which is accompanied by an increase in CD8+ T-cells resulting in an inverted CD4/CD8 ratio. Low CD4/CD8 ratio has been identified as a hallmark of inmmunosenescence and a surrogate of mortality in HIV infected patients especially in ART-naïve patients Aim: Classification of absolute CD4+ T-lymphocytes count in immunological, virological and erythropoietic growth factor among HIV infected patients Methodology: One hundred samples each was collected from HIV positive subjects on ART and HIV positive subjects ART naïve. Six milliliters of whole blood was collected from each consented subject, 3ml was dispensed into 5ml K2EDTA bottle for immediate analysis of absolute CD4 count, CD8 count, total white cell count and HIV screening. The remaining 3ml of blood was dispensed into plain bottle; serum was extracted for the analysis of erythropoietin and viral load Results: Mean values of CD8, CD4/CD8, EPO and TWBC in CD4 <200 were significantly (p<0.05) lower compared to CD4 >500 and CD4 200-499. Mean values of VL in CD4 <200 were significantly (p<0.05) higher compared to CD4 >500 and CD4 200-499 among HIV subjects on ART and ART-naïve Conclusion: Immunological and erythropoetic growth factor assessed in this study were decline while viral load was increasing as HIV infection progresses with depletion in absolute CD4 count, this study shows the efficacy of ART on the treated subjects. However, based on this study, absolute CD8 T cells count, CD4/CD8 ratio and erythropoietin can be used as surrogate makers to ascertain pathogenesis in HIV-infected subjects.
