Authors: Shakir Ali S
Published: August 2024

Background: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) is one of the most prevalent organ-specific autoimmune diseases worldwide at any age, and is induced by loss of immune tolerance of thyroid gland. Over the past few decades, its occurrence has increased. It is a classic example of an organ-specific autoimmune disease, wherein in genetically predisposed individuals, environmental and existential circumstances set off the immune system's attack against thyroid antigens. Aim: The present study aims to evaluate the role of IL-2 genes polymorphisms and their serum levels in the predisposition to HT. Methods: The research project included 60 patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis disease, ages ranging from 21 to 65, who hospital admission between March and August of 2023. The other group consisted of 60 people who appeared to be health individuals. Five milliliters of blood were taken, two milliliters of every specimen being used for the PCR amplification and IL-2 (rs2069762) gene detection (RFLP-PCR) method. The remaining (3ml) for IL-2 ELISA (Mabtech USA) Kit test. Results: The IL-2 genotype did not statistically correlate with a higher risk of HT (P= 0.352). On the other hand, those with the TG genotype had greater serum levels of IL-2 than those with the TT or GG genotype (P= 0.172). HT patients' serum IL-2 levels were statistically greater than those of the healthy control group. Conclusions: a insignificant correlation between IL-2 genotype and serum IL-2 concentration in patients with HT.

Background : This study was conducted in Al-Muthanna district to describe the epidemiological characteristics of hepatitis virus infection using geospatial analysis at the level of the governorate and its regions. We used geospatial analysis to determine the geographic, spatio-temporal trends of viral hepatitis infection in the governorate. Objective: This study aims to assess the prevalence of the disease in Al-muthanna province, southern Iraq, and the geographical distribution of hepatitis A, B, and C Patients and methods: TA descriptive study of (364) patients with hepatitis in the governorate over three years. The information for this research was obtained through a systematic review, published scientific literature, the official websites of the various government agencies and health sectors in the governorate in addition to the Center for Communicable Disease Control between the years 2019-2021. Results: The highest infection rates in the province were 66% for hepatitis A, while hepatitis B and C were 22% and 12%, respectively. The highest incidence rates by sex were in males for hepatitis A and B. The infection rate of type A viral hepatitis increased significantly in 2021, in contrast to the previous two years, while the infection rate of types B and C decreased in 2021. The highest rates of infection according to age groups were less than 10 years. The geographical distribution showed that the highest infections were in the Al-Khader region, with a rate of 68%, and it increased more and clearly in the year 2021, and most of the infections were with viral hepatitis type A. Conclusions: This study confirmed that HAV, HBV and HCV infection are endemic in Iraq, and constitute a serious problem in Muthanna Governorate, during the period between 2019-2021.The results show a clear variation in the prevalence of hepatitis virus infection during the period 2019-2021. This suggests that intervention strategies for hepatitis virus prevention should consider both individual traits and differences and geographic area variation.
Análise comparativa de modelos digitais do terreno obtidos por satélite, para aplicação hidrológica em Portugal
Authors: Matos Jorge E. , Santos Cíntia F. , Matos Raquel
Published: August 2024

Os Modelos Digitais do Terreno (MDT) desempenham um papel crítico na modelação hidrológica e hidráulica. Os mapas de inundações, realizados com esses modelos, contêm informação que depende, em grande parte, da precisão do MDT. Em Portugal, os MDT com resolução de 10 ou 5 m que existem não cobrem todo o território, são caros e de difícil acesso, o que faz dos obtidos por via satélite, de acesso livre e gratuito, uma ferramenta essencial para os estudos hidrológicos e hidráulica dos recursos hídricos. Os diferentes MDT gratuitos disponíveis foram obtidos por diferentes satélites, em diferentes datas e com diferentes algoritmos utilizados na sua elaboração. Por essa razão, apresentam naturalmente diferenças significativas quer em altitude, quer nos resultados que proporcionam neste tipo de estudos. Assim, é necessário avaliar as diferenças na introdução dos MDT atualmente disponíveis para simulação e previsão de inundações, assim como reduzir possíveis erros que estes possam apresentar. Neste estudo, apresentase uma comparação de oito MDT de livre acesso, utilizando a análise estatística dos ficheiros raster de cada modelo e também uma simulação de inundação urbana em duas bacias hidrográficas em Portugal, na Bacia do Rio Leça, a norte da cidade do Porto, e na Bacia do Rio Arade, no Algarve, usando um software de modelação hidrodinâmica a duas dimensões.
Contributos para a eficiência no ciclo urbano da água
Authors: Vivas Eduardo
Published: August 2024

O ciclo urbano da água, responsável pelo abastecimento de água às populações e pela drenagem de águas residuais, evoluiu, de forma notável, em Portugal, nos últimos 30 anos. Não obstante, numa fase em que a perspetiva principal já não é a de expansão dos sistemas, importa avaliar e fomentar a eficiência desses sistemas, procurando garantir um serviço tão bom, ou ainda melhor, com o consumo de menos recursos. Nesse sentido, no presente artigo é efetuada uma reflexão sobre a evolução dos níveis de eficiência do setor, tomando por base os dados disponíveis nos relatórios de avaliação da qualidade de serviço do regulador (ERSAR). A avaliação efetuada incide sobre uma análise da eficiência hídrica (focando nas perdas nos sistemas de abastecimento e nas afluências pluviais indevidas nos sistemas de águas residuais), bem como da eficiência energética para tentar inferir sobre a eficiência global do ciclo urbano da água.

Published: August 2024

Splenic cysts are a rare disease with uncertain etiology, postulated to originate from embryogenic inclusions of epithelial cells or invaginations of splenic mesothelium. Martin's classification divides them into parasitic and non-parasitic, which are further subdivided into primary and secondary, with secondary being more common due to trauma. Here, we present the case of an 18-year-old male patient, with no known personal history, who was referred from a private clinic due to a history of blunt abdominal trauma 3 days prior while playing basketball. The patient presented with pain in the left hypochondrium and flank, without other associated symptoms. The diagnosis was made through clinical history, physical examination, and imaging studies (USG, CT), confirming a secondary splenic cyst. Surgical treatment was indicated due to symptoms and the size of the cyst, which was larger than 5 cm. A conservative technique was chosen to preserve the parenchyma and splenic function. Postoperative follow-up will be conducted with periodic ultrasounds and, occasionally, computed tomography, given that although part of the cyst may remain, the risk of malignancy is very low.

In the research results, the average length of umbilical cord removal for babies who used umbilical cord clamps was 6.38, while the average value for newborns who used umbilical cord clamps was 8.13. The results of the Independent T-Test statistical test showed a p-value of 0.033 (p<0.05).  From the research results, it was concluded that there was a difference in the length of time the umbilical cord was removed for newborns who used umbilical cord thread with an umbilical cord clamp.  It is hoped that the baby's mother will always keep the umbilical cord clean and dry, so that the process of drying the umbilical cord is faster.

The efficiencies of Timed Artificial Insemination (TAI) protocols in post-partum riverine dairy buffaloes were evaluated in the present research work. In Study 1, GnRH-based ovulation synchronization for Fixed Time Artificial Insemination (FTAI) protocol was evaluated for pregnancy. Buffaloes in Treatment 1 were subjected to the Ovsynch (GnRH-PGF2α-GnRH) protocol. Buffaloes in Treatment 2 were subjected to Controlled Internal Drug Release–Gonadotrophin Releasing Hormone (CIDR-Synch-GnRH) protocol, and buffaloes in Treatment 3 were subjected to CIDR-Synch-human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (CIDR-Synch-hCG) protocol. In Study 2, Prostaglandin-based estrus synchronization protocols were similarly evaluated for pregnancy. Buffaloes in Treatment 1 were treated with Prostaglandin hormone alone; buffaloes in Treatment 2 were subjected to Prostaglandin-GnRH protocol, while buffaloes in Treatment 3 were subjected to Prostaglandin-hCG protocol. Results in Study 1 revealed that supplementation of Ovsynch with CIDR in Treatment 2 and 3 resulted in significantly higher (P<0.05) pregnancy rates compared with Ovsynch alone (T1). Meanwhile, the use of hCG as the final ovulatory hormone in FTAI protocol (T3) yielded a significantly higher (P<0.05) pregnancy rate than GnRH (T2). In Study 2, results showed that prostaglandin protocols enhanced with GnRH (T2) or with hCG (T3) resulted in significantly higher (P<0.05) pregnancy rates (31.88±3.39 and 34.62±1.53), respectively, compared with Prostaglandin alone (T1, 23.91±2.49). However, pregnancy rates in Prostaglandin-based protocols (T2) and (T3) were not significantly different (P<0.05). In sum, the present study demonstrated that supplementation with exogenous progesterone (CIDR) improved the efficiency of Ovsynch FTAI protocol while using hCG as the final ovulatory hormone is found to be the best among FTAI protocols. Meanwhile, a Prostaglandin-based protocol enhanced with ovulatory hormones, either GnRH or hCG, on the day of AI improved pregnancy rates in post-partum water buffaloes.
