Authors: Dabee P. , Rajkumarsingh B. , Beeharry Y.
Published: July 2023

Surface dust can be a source carrier of viruses, bacteria and air pollution which entail common health issues such as asthma attacks, chest tightness, wheezing and difficulty in breathing. Visually perceived, cleanliness is one measure of indoor air quality and is the subjective assessment of cleaning quality. The aim of this work is to use pattern recognition mediated through a mobile application to analyse and classify dust in households, in order to obtain useful information about the dust sources for the selection of appropriate countermeasures in view to improve air quality and better manage the cleaning of indoor surfaces. The dust type categorization in this work are pollen, rock and ash. This paper also explores the concept of transfer learning techniques and adopts it for small particle classification using CNN models by developing a surface dust application for android smartphones. The behaviour of InceptionV2, InceptionV3, ResNetV2, MobileNetV2 and MobileNetV3 as dust feature extractors were analysed based on their accuracy, precision, recall and F1-Score performance metrics. Results show that MobileNetV3 model is best suited as a dust feature extractor and rapid dust prediction with an accuracy of up to 92% and low-size storage of only 30 megabytes.

Published: July 2023

Objective: To evaluate the effect of intracanal separated instruments with different lengths on periapical pH levels using calcium hydroxide (CH) as an intracanal medicament in curved root canals.
Materials and Methods: 120 teeth (root canal curvature >25˚) were divided into six groups following the root canal preparation. In Group 1, 2 mm and in Group 2, 4 mm NiTi instruments were separated in the apical portion of the root canals and CH paste was applied. In Groups 3 and 4, no separated instrument but CH was applied. In Groups 5 and 6, neither a separated instrument nor CH. The samples were placed inside a glass tubes with distilled water. pH of this distilled water was measured at different time-points.
Results: At all-time points, pH values between the experimental groups were similar except at 1-day (Group 1 < Group 2, P<0.05). At the 2-day and 30-day time points, Group 3 showed higher pH values than Group 1 (P<0.05). At 7-day and 14-day points, pH values were similar.
Conclusions: The presence of a separated instrument with different lengths in curved root canals did not have a significant effect on the pH increase caused by CH used as an intracanal medicament.
Dental management of patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa:
Authors: Fourie (Schaap) Jeanine , Middleton Ilana , Dippenaar Tinus
Published: July 2023

Introduction:

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of rare inherited disorders uniquely characterised by skin, and in some instances, mucosal blistering. In the most severe form of the disease, recessive dystrophic EB (RDEB), the blister-inducing split occurs below the lamina densa. Extensive scarring of the oral mucosa results in limited mouth opening, making speech and mastication difficult. At the same time, oral mucosal blisters often lead to patients restricting their diets to soft, and generally cariogenic, foods, and battling with oral hygiene practices. This results in poor plaque control, a high caries burden and complex dental management.

Aims and objectives:

This paper presents a report on two siblings suffering from generalised RDEB affecting the oral cavity and their extensive dental treatment needs.

Design/Methods:

The siblings were referred to the University of Pretoria Oral Health Centre, complaining of painful teeth and oral mucosal discomfort. Their clinical features, dental condition and subsequent management are presented.

Results:

Restricted mouth opening, limited personal plaque control, and diets limited to soft, carbohydrate-rich foods because of oral mucosal discomfort, resulted in extensive dental decay that required multiple extractions.

Conclusions:

The dental and anaesthetic management of patients with RDEB is complex, and due to the friable tissues, requires the most atraumatic care possible. Ideally, patients with this condition need to have early dental intervention where preventive programmes can be implemented to reduce the need for later extensive and complicated dental interventions. Maintenance of the patient’s oral health is essential to ensure adequate nutrition, yet, reducing the consumption of soft cariogenic diets which increased their caries risk.

Este artículo estudia la posibilidad de insertar corredores ecológicos en la Zona de Amortiguamiento (ZA) de la unidad de conservación (UC) de Morro do Lampião, ubicada junto a un antiguo aeródromo en la ciudad de Florianópolis, en el estado de Santa Catarina. La prioridad de implementar corredores ecológicos se entiende como una herramienta importante para mantener el equilibrio ecológico de la UC, visando los intercambios genéticos para la preservación de la fauna y flora nativa local. Se defienden las UC y sus corredores ecológicos como importantes difusores de la causa ambiental, y siempre que se acompañen de un adecuado proceso de educación ambiental, son potenciales inductores del sentido de pertenencia y apropiación colectiva de las poblaciones vecinas en relación con el medio natural. Se realizaron varias lecturas sobre el proceso de expansión del tejido urbano alrededor de Morro do Lampião, y su resultante aislamiento en relación con los otros biomas previamente conectados directamente. Estos estudios también involucraron aspectos relacionados con la zonificación establecida por el Plan Maestro, la ubicación y forma de las áreas investigadas como posibles corredores ecológicos. Así, el trabajo indica que la inserción de corredores ecológicos superpuestos a las Áreas de Preservación Permanente de los ríos (APP), áreas ya protegidas por ley, son la forma más económica y eficaz de viabilizar estos importantes equipos de protección ambiental.

Nanoparticles are the future of targeted and sustained drug delivery, yielding significant opportunities in addressing and treat challenging diseases such as cancer (Grenader et al., 2012; Luminari et al., 2010; Shoji et al., 2014). These nano vesicles can be developed into intelligent systems which can encapsulate medicinal and imaging agents, while still possessing stealth properties. Manipulating the size, surface properties, and material composition of these novel systems can help deliver drugs to specific tissues and provide controlled release therapy. Among them, lipid nanoparticles, particularly liposomes, have been identified as promising and adaptable drug vesicles. When compared to standard drug delivery systems, they have superior qualities such as site-targeting, prolonged or controlled release, drug protection from degradation and clearance, superior therapeutic efficacy, and lower toxic side effects. Liposomes are phospholipid vesicles that form approximately spherical bilayer shapes. These spherical vesicles can contain unilamellar or multilamellar internal concentric lipid bilayers trapping aqueous space. Due to this structure, liposomal vesicles allow for a wide variety of drugs with lipophilic and hydrophilic properties to be encapsulated simultaneously with hydrophobic/lipophilic molecules being inserted into the bilayer membrane and hydrophilic molecules being entrapped in the aqueous compartments. Beginning with Gabizon et al., 1982 and Tardi et al., 1985, liposome researchers have developed a wide range of liposomal drug carriers, by primarily employing small-scale laboratory techniques. The size of liposomes has a significant role in the effective delivery of anticancer drugs to the tumour site. Liposome size has been demonstrated to affect its time in blood circulation, tumour accumulation, tumour retention and the drug release. According to data so far, a liposome diameter of below 200 nm is the ideal size to achieve efficient drug delivery especially when targeting the brain and crossing the blood brain barrier (Gao et al., 2013; Kulkarni & Feng, 2013). This protocol aims to outline the steps involved in the synthesis of cationic and anionic liposomes with an approximate uniform size of 90 nm for targeted drug delivery in tumour cells. This method employed the use of thin-film dispersed hydration one of the most popular methods for preparing liposomes.

Introduction. Postoperative angiographic examinations after endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms may demonstrate unstable results, both in the form of recurrence formation, and in the form of increased degree of occlusion with initially incomplete occlusion of the aneurysm sac. Cerebral aneurysm recurrences represent an important medical and social problem comparable in terms of hemorrhage risks with nonoperated aneurysms.

Aim. To estimate the early and long‑term results of endovascular treatment of patients with cerebral aneurysms ope rated on using different endovascular techniques. Materials and methods. The present study included 167 patients (48 men and 119 women) with 195 cerebral aneurysms aged from 18 to 75 years who were operated on using endovascular techniques at the neurosurgical department No. 3 of the Russian Research Neurosurgical Institute named after Prof. A. L. Polenov from 2013 to 2016. The average age of the patients was 52 ± 12 years, the minimum age was 18 years, and the maximum age was 75 years. The choice of endovascular treatment method in the patients included in the study was based on anatomico‑topographic and morphometric features of aneurysm, as well as taking into account the period of aneurysmal disease course.

Results. The study of data of control angiographic examinations after endovascular treatment of patients with cerebral aneurysms showed that in the remote postoperative period the degree of aneurysm occlusion may differ from that initially achieved. The probability of aneurysm recurrence after its isolated occlusion with coils may reach 13.1 % already in 6 months after surgical treatment, 31.7 % after 12 months and 22.3 % after 36 months, averaging 22.5 % (p < 0.05).

Conclusion. The personalized approach in choosing optimal surgical tactics for the treatment of patients with cerebral aneurysms allows to achieve stable radical aneurysm occlusion, to decrease the incidence of postoperative complications and aneurysm recurrences in the long‑term postoperative period.

Aim. To improve awareness of existing treatment regimens of cerebral edema by dexamethasone among doctors of various specialties (neurosurgeons, neurologists, intensive care specialists, endocrinologists). Based on scientific literature data the authors presented detailed descriptions of previously used and relevant now treatment regimens of cerebral edema by glucocorticoids (dexamethasone in particular). The authors estimated various dexamethasone prescribing schedules (2–64 mg doses fractionally used per day and one‑time 20 mg dose) for glioma tumor patients for understanding the effectiveness of therapy. The authors analyzed the risks of possible therapy by‑effects and complications. The risks were divided into the following groups: early (carbohydrate metabolic disorders, psychoemotional symptoms, hypertension, weight gain), later (exogenous hypercorticism, lipid metabolic disorders, proximal myopathy, osteoporosis, gastric and duodenal ulcer disease, immunosuppressive conditions) and withdrawal syndrome (adrenal insufficiency). In conclusion, the authors noted the ways to possibly prevent and reduce the side effects.

Background. The problem of concomitant pituitary adenomas and intracranial aneurysms is extensively covered in literature. According to various authors, the prevalence of such a combination of lesions is as high as 9 %, most commonly involving hormone‑producing pituitary adenomas and aneurysms of the anterior circulation, up to 69 % of which originate from the carotid artery.

Aim. To analyze and demonstrate the treatment of patients with developed internal carotid artery aneurysm (ICA) against the background of successful conservative therapy of prolactinoma. Materials and methods. In this article we review the literature and present two clinical cases of patients with development of internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysms after successful conservative treatment of prolactinomas.

Results. In both of the described cases, ICA aneurysms with intrasellar extension developed after successful conservative treatment of large invasive prolactinomas. In both cases ICA occlusion were performed and in one of them extra‑intracranial bypass surgery was performed as well.

Conclusion. The presented clinical cases suggest potential direct destructive effect of tumor tissue on vessel walls. Currently, it seems reasonable to carry out computed tomography angiography in all patients with adenomas invading the cavernous sinus.

Published: July 2023

This study aims to determine innovative global trends in communications and their impact on the development of the marketing and PR industry. For this, we applied trend analysis, one of the modern forecasting methods, which is based on the examination of secondary sources and news publications and allows the identification of weak information signals from various markets based on the mention of digital innovations. Innovative tools guide companies to construct a new reality for stakeholders, improve interaction methods with stakeholders, and form their favorable corporate image and brand positioning. We identified six trends that will impact the development of communications in the coming decades: machine learning; big data; virtual reality technologies; digital gamification; blockchain and NFT; migration to the metaverse. We concluded that these digital innovations would enrich the promotion toolkit, form a new socio-communication dimension, and produce a creative and meaningful context. In particular, we conclude that VR technologies will encourage further penetration of advertising and PR into the field of integrated virtual communications. Gamification will become more and more deeply rooted in all areas of marketing and PR activities, diversify interaction with stakeholders, and increase its effectiveness thanks to novelty, emotionality, and user involvement. Finally, NFT will become a symbol of innovation from the image perspective and a thematic platform for stakeholder communications. The article also outlines the features of marketing and PR in the metaverse

Published: July 2023

We present the fi ndings of excavations at the Early Paleolithic site of Lakhuti-IV in the middle reaches of the Obi- Mazar River, Republic of Tajikistan. The geological and geomorphological situation in the area is reconstructed, and Pleistocene deposits are described. On the basis of the available chronostratigraphic constraints, we can determine time of formation of the cultural layer that is associated with deposits of the fi fth buried soil (pedocomplex 5, dated to ~0.5 Ma ago). Characteristics of archaeological fi nds (662 artifacts) from eight cultural horizons are discussed. Primary reduction is dominated by the simplest parallel, radial, and slice cores. Among fl akes, “citrus slices” and decortication chips are the most frequent. Tools include numerous fl akes and retouched fragments. Single-edged sidescrapers on large fl akes, denticulate-notched tools, and unifaces are abundant. The concentration of artifacts is very high for the Khovaling Loess Plateau. Lakhuti IV is the fi rst site of the Loessic Paleolithic where artifacts occur in distinct archaeological horizons. Industries associated with pedocomplexes 6–4 in the region (Obi-Mazar-VI, Lakhuti-I, -IV, etc.) show common features, such as primary reduction techniques (slice, radial, simple parallel) and the composition of the toolkits (choppers, unifaces, single-edged side-scrapers, etc.). The fi ndings allow us to draw more reliable parallels with contemporaneous industries of other regions. The closest similarities to industries of the Karatau culture are seen among the Soanian industries in northern Hindustan and the Early Paleolithic assemblages of southwestern China.
Developing central bank digital currencies: a reality check during cryptocurrency euphoria
Authors: Cioroianu Iulia , Corbet Shaen , Larkin Charles , Oxley Les
Published: July 2023

Using estimated sentiment indices based on CBDC-related social media posts, and testing for the effects of regulatory-related announcements upon blockchain and cryptocurrency-related funds, this research presents two key findings: first, the continued evolution of the pricing structures of digital finance products to respond to such perceived threats constitutes a further evolutionary point in the product's life-cycle. However, secondly, the very fact that returns fall while volatility increases, indicates a largely negative market response to the threat of potential external regulation of cryptocurrencies in the future. The nature of this negative response validates concerns that anonymity continues to be a central attractive feature for cryptocurrency stakeholders, further verifying the necessity for third-party oversight.
Why Early Intervention is Essential in Preschool Age Children Who Stutter: A Systematic Review
Authors: S Snijders , R Sevenants , K Eggers , S Van
Published: July 2023

Background: For long, a wait-and-see approach was implemented for preschool age children who started to stutter. The last two decades, however, research indicated more and more that this is not the most appropriate action. Speech pathologists specialised in stuttering have gained much knowledge about stuttering near onset the past few years. A previous exploratory study showed that primary care professionals have not yet gained all this knowledge. Aims: The aim of this systematic review was to fill the knowledge gaps of primary care professionals by formulating evidence-based information and to provide them to the primary care professionals. Methods: To find evidence-based information for the knowledge that the respondents lack, a systematic literature search was conducted on 24 October 2022 in Cochrane, PubMed and Evidence Maps (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association). Systematic reviews and guidelines of the past decade about stuttering in preschool age children were consulted. Relevant information was selected. Resources were developed and fine-tuned by a focus group. Quality assessments were conducted on all included studies by using the Joanna Briggs Institute tools for systematic reviews and the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE II) for guidelines. Findings are presented on a poster, flyer, website and video. Results: Eight systematic reviews and one guideline met the inclusion criteria and were used to create information materials. Findings are that the cause of stuttering is very complex and influenced by multiple factors. Characteristics of stuttering include repetitions, prolongations, and blocks, but stuttering can also affect social and emotional functioning. It is clear that a wait-and-see approach is not the desired approach anymore. Conclusions: The resources developed in this study can help primary care professionals in identifying stuttering and referring families of young children to a stuttering specialist, to maximize the chance on recovery for the child. A stuttering specialist will decide based on the stuttering characteristics and its development if a family needs advice and active follow-up or if treatment needs to be initiated.
Identifying Alzheimer Disease Dementia Levels Using Machine Learning Methods
Authors: Hussain Gulzar , Shiren Ye
Published: July 2023

Dementia, a prevalent neurodegenerative condition, is a major manifestation of Alzheimer's disease (AD). As the condition progresses from mild to severe, it significantly impairs the individual's ability to perform daily tasks independently, necessitating the need for timely and accurate AD classification. Machine learning or deep learning models have emerged as effective tools for this purpose. In this study, we suggested an approach for classifying the four stages of dementia using RF, SVM, and CNN algorithms, augmented with watershed segmentation for feature extraction from MRI images. Our results reveal that SVM with watershed features achieves an impressive accuracy of 96.25%, surpassing other classification methods. The ADNI dataset is utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of our method, and we observed that the inclusion of watershed segmentation contributes to the enhanced performance of the models.
An understanding of the immune dysfunction in susceptible people who develop the post-viral fatigue syndromes Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Long COVID
Authors: Walker Max , Peppercorn Katie , Kleffmann Torsten , Edgar Christina , Tate Warren
Published: July 2023

Viral infection in most people results in a transient immune/inflammatory response resulting in elimination of the virus and recovery where the immune system returns to that of the pre-infectious state. In susceptible people by contrast there is a transition from an acute immune response to a chronic state that can lead to an ongoing lifelong complex post-viral illness, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. This susceptibility is proposed to be genetic or be primed by prior health history. Complex abnormalities occur in immune cell functions, immune cell metabolism and energy production, and in cytokine immune modulator regulation. The immune system of the brain/central nervous system becomes activated leading to dysfunction in regulation of body physiology and the onset of many neurological symptoms. A dysfunctional immune system is core to the development of the post-viral condition as shown with diverse strategies of immune profiling. Many studies have shown changes in numbers and activity of immune cells of different phenotypes and their metabolism. Immune regulating cytokines show complex altered patterns and vary with the stage of the disease, and there are elements of associated autoimmunity. These complex changes are accompanied by an altered molecular homeostasis with immune cell transcripts and proteins no longer produced in a tightly regulated manner, reflected in the instability of the epigenetic code that controls gene expression. Potential key elements of the altered immune function in this disease needing further exploration are changes to the gut-brain-immune axis as a result of changes in the microbiome of the gut, and viral reactivation from latent elements of the triggering virus or from a prior viral infection. Long COVID, an Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome-like illness, is the post-viral condition that has arisen in large numbers solely from the pandemic virus Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronovirus-2. With over 760 million cases worldwide, an estimated ~100 million cases of Long COVID have occurred within a short period. This now provides an unprecedented opportunity to understand the progression of these post-viral diseases, and to progress from a research phase mainly documenting the immune changes to considering potential immunotherapies that might improve the overall symptom profile of affected patients, and provide them with a better quality of life.
INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NUTRITIONAL SELF-EFFICACY, ATTITUDE AND BEHAVIOURS OF STUDENTS WITH OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY
Authors: Çevik Cahide , Orsal Ozlem
Published: July 2023

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between nutritional self-efficacy, nutritional attitudeand behaviour of students with overweight and obesity.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study was carried out with 192 students in 5th, 6th and 7th grades whose body mass index percentile value was over 85. The data were obtained with personal information form, dietary self-efficacy scale, nutrition attitude scale and dietary behaviour scale in this study.
RESULTS: The nutritional self-efficacy mean score of the students was 5.58 ± 5.07, the nutritional attitude was 12.72 ± 2.52, and the nutritional behaviour mean score was 2.92 ± 6.03. There was no significant difference found between scale scores according to gender and body mass index classification, and students without an overweight family member had a more positive nutritional attitude. A positive relationship was found between nutritional self-efficacy and nutritional attitude and nutritional behaviour.
CONCLUSIONS: Nutritional self-efficacy, nutritional attitudes and nutritional behaviour levels of children with overweight and obesity were found to be above the moderate level. Factors such as fast food eating habits and time spent with technological devices such as computers and TV, which increase the susceptibility to overweight and obesity, are effective in the levels of nutritional self-efficacy, nutritional attitude and nutritional behaviour.
WAS IMMUNOGLOBULINS EFFECTIVE IN DISEASE SEVERITY AND LENGTH OF HOSPITAL STAY IN CHILDREN WITH THE INFECTION OF SARS-COV-2 ?

Published: July 2023

OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether immunoglobulin levels on admission are associated with disease severity, time to negativization of SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test, and length of hospital stay in children with severe illness requiring hospitalization.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty-four pediatric patients hospitalized and treated for COVID-19 were included. The patients were divided into two groups as those with mild-to-moderate (n=35) and those with severe disease (n=9) for ease of evaluation. The relationship of immunoglobulin levels with disease severity, time to SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test negativization and length of hospital stay was examined.
RESULTS: The study population had a median (min-max) age of 13 (1-18) years and consisted of 25 (56.8%) girls and 19 (43.2%) boys. IgG levels were normal in 89.2% (n=33) and elevated in 5.7% (n=2) of the children with mild-to-moderate disease. Among patients with severe disease, IgG levels were normal in 44.4% (n=4) and elevated in 55.6% (n=5). A significant difference was found between the groups in terms of IgG levels (p=0.002). When the relationship of IgG level with length of hospital stay and time to SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test negativization was investigated, no significant correlation was observed between time to SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test negativization and Ig G level (p=0.096, z=1.667). However, the length of hospital stay was significantly longer in patients with elevated IgG levels (p=0.096, p=0.002).
CONCLUSIONS: Higher-than-normal endogenous IgG levels may be independently associated with the development of severe illness and prolonged hospital stay in children hospitalized for COVID-19.

O presente artigo é um relato de experiência de acadêmicos de enfermagem, cujo processo metodológico teve como base o Arco de Maguerez. Esse estudo objetiva relatar a experiência vivenciada pelos acadêmicos de enfermagem acerca da ação de educação em saúde realizada sobre o HTLV e outras IST. A intervenção social sobre o HTLV foi escolhida pela insciência de grande parte da população, bem como por ser uma infecção silenciosa, elevando os riscos de contaminação. A ação foi realizada com adolescentes em uma escola estadual de um bairro periférico de Belém. Foram consideradas todas as etapas do Arco de Maguerez, seguidas pelo planejamento da intervenção na escola, composta por: roda de conversa, dinâmica de transmissão por fluidos, demonstração do uso correto de preservativo e distribuição de camisinhas aos participantes. Foi perceptível a presença de muitos adolescentes com participação e interação com o grupo. A ação contou com a colaboração da maioria dos participantes, no entanto, houve quem ficasse acanhado durante as ações. A experiência foi positiva tanto para o público-alvo, que foi orientado sobre sua saúde sexual, quanto para os acadêmicos, que tiveram a oportunidade de lidar diretamente com uma população vulnerável e criar formas alternativas de interação com essa população.Palavras-chave: Infecções por HTLV-I.

Aplikacija Snapchat je družbeni medij, ki omogoča slikovno, tekstovno in video komunikacijo. Glavna naloga Snapchata je deljenje informacij med znanci, družino in prijatelji. Hkrati omogoča ohranjanje stikov z ljudmi, ki jih poznamo in z njimi nimamo veliko kontakta ali pa preprosto želimo spoznati nove ljudi. Ciljna skupina Snapchata so pretežno mladostniki, starejši od 13 let, ampak je hkrati namenjen vsem ostalim, ki želijo uporabljati aplikacijo. Za uporabo aplikacije se mora ustvariti profil, ki prikazuje naše uporabniško ime, lastno ime ter po zaslugi aplikacije Bitmoji, tudi karakter, ki ga ustvarimo sami in prikazuje našo podobo. Ta karakter lahko uporabljamo v klepetu in Snapih (slikovno ali video sporočilo). S pošiljanjem Snapov določeni osebi začnemo zbirati točke oz. “ogenjčke“, ki prikazujejo koliko dni se že pogovarjamo z osebo. Ogenjčki so vidni tudi na lastnem profilu ter v Snapchat Insights, ki prikazuje različne metrike, kot so ogledi naših zgodb in število sledilcev. S temi podatki lahko vidimo, kako uspešni smo na aplikaciji in celo služimo denar skozi ustvarjene leče, AR filtre ter oglase.

Background: Most of the biomarkers used in joint disease are articular cartilage components such as chondroitin sulphate (CS), keratan sulphate (KS), hyaluronic acid (HA), or type II collagen. Some of these biomarkers, alone or together, could have the potential to provide clinically useful indices of the effects of isolated joint injury, the progression of joint changes and/or the response to therapy. Serum concentration of HA were elevated in human patients with osteoarthritis which increase is considered a reliable biomarker reflective of cartilage damage and synovitis in these patients. Methods: Blood samples were collected from all the dogs and serum concentration of hyaluronic acid was determined by Canine Hyaluronic Acid Elisa kit (catalogue No.ITE070452), SIZE -96T, Reactivity: Canine, Range: 2 ng/ml -700ng/ml and sensitivity: 1.04 ng/ml, supplied by G Biosciences. Result: Serum concentration of HA were lower in dogs aged between 0 to 12 months with CHD when compared to dogs of similar age with healthy hip joints and that this significant decrease in serum HA in dogs can be considered a reliable biomarker reflective of CHD and serum HA levels can be used as an effective biomarker for osteoarthritis in dogs with CHD.

While carrying out marketing activities, they will always be faced with various job factors that can cause job stress. This research was conducted to analyze the correlation between job stressors and job stress levels among salesmen. Method: This research was observational research with a cross-sectional approach. Both population and samples of this research were 30 salesmen of household appliance trading in Kediri City. The sampling technique used was total sampling. Variables used in this research were job stressor including role conflict, role ambiguity, interpersonal conflict, job uncertainty, total workload, and mental demands with job stress levels. Results: The results showed that most salesmen experienced job stressors either in high, moderate or low category. Most of the salesmen experienced normal job stress level. There is relationship between job stressors consisting of role conflict (0.673), role ambiguity (0.455), interpersonal conflict (0.262), job uncertainty (0.683), total workload (0.526) and mental demands (0.859) with job stress levels on salesmen. Conclusion: An increase in job stressor conditions experienced by salesmen will be followed by an increase in job stress levels, and vice versa. Out of all, mental demands have the strongest relationship to job stress levels on salesmen. So it is necessary to make efforts to suppress existing job stressors so that an increase of job stress levels on salesmen can be prevented.
