Authors: Nguyen Thi Kim Anh , Ho Minh Nhut , Tran Gia-Buu
Published: December 2023

Pathogenic fungi are the most common causes of economic loss in crop production. Until now, synthetic fungicides are the most effective tools for management in agriculture, but they cause a severe impact on the environment as well as several side effects for human health. The use of synthetic fungicides is prohibited in organic agriculture; however, sulfur and copper fungicides are still permitted in organic farming. In this study, chitosan-stabilized copper chitosan nanoparticles (CS-CuNPs) were synthesized and characterized via UV-Vis analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Moreover, fungicidal activities of CS-CuNPs in the range of concentrations (00, 500, and 1000 mg/L) against several plant pathogenic fungi, including Magnaporthe oryzae, Rhizoctonia solani, and Phytophthora capsici, have been assessed via filamentous fugal growth inhibition. The results indicated that the size of CS-CuNPs ranged from 70 to 74 nm with the plasmon absorption peak at 600 nm, which implied the CS-CuNPs were successfully synthesized. Furthermore, CS-CuNPs effectively inhibited the growth of all three fungi at a concentration 1000 mg/L. Among the three species, Rhizoctonia solani was the most susceptible to CS-CuNPs, with the growth inhibitory effect at 100 mg/L. In conclusion, CS-CuNPs demonstrated a strong potential for the elimination of plant pathogenic fungi and further applications in agriculture.

INSURANCE WITH SPECIALIST DOCTORS AND HEALTH CARE PECIALISTS IN REGIONAL CITIES WITH MEDICAL UNIVERSITIES IN BULGARIA
Authors: Yaneva Rumyana
Published: December 2023

People are the most important resource for any organization, including healthcare. The analysis of the geographical distribution of human resources in the “Healthcare” sector in the Republic of Bulgaria shows that there are certain disproportions. The lack or insufficiency of specialists can lead to a deficit in the diagnostic-treatment-rehabilitation activity in certain medical specialties, or to non-use of certain available medical equipment. The purpose of the present study is to examine the number and relative share of doctors with a specialty and health care specialists, where they are most numerous - in the cities where there are medical universities in Bulgaria and their adjacent areas for 2021. The following methods were used to carry out the research: documentary method - based on official data from the National Statistical Institute, comparative analysis, economic analysis, mathematical-statistical method, tabular analysis. Based on the obtained results, it is clear that in Bulgaria the number of general practitioners is the highest - 3,945, and the number of “Infectious Diseases” specialists is the lowest. Per 10,000 people of the population, the highest share of doctors and medical specialists in health care is in Pleven district, 67.3 and 95.0, respectively, and the lowest in Varna district, respectively – 50.7 and 63.8. The number of doctors in Bulgaria is above the average for the European Union, but despite this there is a serious shortage of doctors in certain specialties, which had its impact on the treatment of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our country is one of the countries in the EU with the lowest provision of nurses. Their shortage is due to several factors, among them the emigration of trained nurses, the aging of the workforce - with the average age of this type of specialist being over 50, dissatisfaction with wages and working conditions. The human factor is a significant element in any healthcare organization at all levels. The provision and use of other types of resources depends on human resources. A higher supply of doctors implies a stronger health sector, and a higher supply of health care professionals, and above all nurses, is a guarantee of more economical and better health care.

СОVID-19 is an infеction caused by the new cоrоnavirus Sаrs-Cov-2. For thе specific treatment of patients, it is impоrtant to detеrmine thе sеverity of the disease with thе help of biomarkers when they are hospitalized. Many of them rеveal a range of chаnges in patients with COVID-19. Among the mоst commonly оbserved changes are decreased thrombocytes count, increased D-dimer and LDН values. The aim of the present study is to present the changes in Thrombocytes (Thr), Lactatedehydrogenase (LDH) and D-Dimer values in hospitalized patients with Sars-Cov-2 and the relationship between them. For our research, we took the values from the clinical laboratory results of 106 hospitalized patients for the treatment of Covid-19 in the “St. Ivan Rilski” town of Zagora. Patients were divided into two subgroups depending on the period of their hospitalization. In both groups, the laboratory values of LDH, Thre, D-Dimer on the first day of admission to the hospital are presented. In the two groups of patients studied by us, we found a positive correlation between thrombocytes values and LDH values at admission: r=0.234, p<0.05. A greater number of patients developed thrombocytopenia during hospitalization in Group II 26.53% (n=13). A number of authors have reported that in COVID-19, LDH correlates with disease severity and can be considered a major predictor of lung injury in these patients. Elevation of LDH was observed in over 96% of patients in both groups. Thrombocyte count monitoring during hospitalization is important in the prognosis of patients with coronavirus disease. Thrombocytopenia, elevation of D-dimer, and the following cоmplications in pаtients with COVID-19 аrе among the most common laboratory findings requiring hospitalization.
ON THE POSSIBILITIES AND STRATEGIES FOR INCORPORATION ANTIMICROBIAL AGENTS INTO RESIN COMPOSITE DENTAL MATERIALS – A NARRATIVE REVIEW
Authors: Dimkov Aleksandar
Published: December 2023

Because of the high frequency of recurrent caries following composite resin restorative treatment, as well as the large number of cariogenic microorganisms present in the oral cavity, which represent a potential risk factor for the development of new carious lesions, the antimicrobial effects of composite resins are receiving increasing attention. Recently, attempts have been made to include specific antimicrobial compounds in restorative materials, mainly GJCs and composites, in addition to fluorides. Conventional composites’ lack of antibacterial qualities implies a lack of an inhibitory impact against plaque accumulation on their surface, allowing bacteria such as mutans streptococci to grow freely. As a result, the antibacterial properties of dental resin composites are crucial to their therapeutic applications. The present study demonstrates the methods and possibilities for incorporating antimicrobial chemicals, both leachable and non-leachable, into the resin matrix or filler of composite resins.

Published: December 2023

Aim: To provide normal values for the lumbar spinal canal, lumbar vertebral body and dural sac dimensions and canal body ratio by MRI for a Jordanian population sample.

Material and methods: Three well trained observers reviewed 218 lumbar MRI scans performed between 2019–2021 (1090 lumbar levels) and obtained from the central computerized medical archive of three main governmental hospitals in north, central and south Jordan. All MRIs with alignment abnormalities (scoliosis and kyphosis), canal compression, vertebral disease (including fractures) or technical artifacts were excluded. The following were measured from L1 to L5 levels: the midsagittal diameters of the spinal canal and vertebral body, axial anteroposterior (AP), and transverse diameter of the vertebral body, dural canal and dural canal area. Data on sex and age were also documented.

Results: The studied MRI scans included 113 males (51.8%) and 105 females (48.2%). Age ranged between 23–86 years old (mean 52.23 ± 13.125). The mid sagittal mid vertebral AP diameter of the lumbar spine range was 2.8–3.1 cm. The mid sagittal spinal canal diameter range was 1.3–1.5 cm. Canal body ratio was 3.3–3.6. The AP, transverse dural sac diameter ranges were 1.2–1.4 cm and 1.5–1.9 cm, respectively. Finally, the dural sac area ranged from 331–362 mm2.

Conclusion: The dimensions of the lumbar spinal canal, vertebral bodies, and vertebral canal ratio at all levels were documented for a Jordanian population sample. Dimensions varied according to sex and when compared with other ethnic groups (Asian and African). The findings suggest that canal stenosis criteria should take these differences into consideration.

Abstract

Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a preventable cause of childhood blindness. This study aims to measure knowledge, awareness and attitudes of Jordanian pediatricians towards ROP screening and treatment protocols, and to identify any barriers concerning referrals to specialized care.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional non-interventional descriptive study. A self-administered semi- structured electronic questionnaire was designed to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice patterns of responders and was disseminated via social media and direct contact with pediatricians in governmental and private hospitals from all over the country and collected between June and November of 2022. The questionnaire included questions regarding demographics, level of education, practice details and knowledge regarding ROP.

Results: A total of 85 responders from all levels completed the questionnaire. Most of the responders (78 (91.8%)) identified the main risk factors of ROP as low birth weight and gestational age and maintained that timely screening should be performed by an ophthalmologist.  Fifty-nine pediatricians (69.4%) were sure that ROP is preventable and 62 (72.9%) identified both laser and anti- vascular endothelial growth factor injections as possible modalities of treatment. Thirty participants (35.3%) faced real limitations reaching ophthalmologists for a reliable ROP consultation. 

Conclusions: This study demonstrated a high level of awareness of ROP among Jordanian pediatricians of all levels, although some gaps pertaining to the accurate timing of screening still exist. There are identifiable limitations facing Jordanian pediatricians to reach a reliable ophthalmic service to screen and manage referred cases.  A unified nation-wide ROP screening protocol with clear access to standardized ophthalmic care is necessary to reduce the challenges facing the screening and management process and by extension, the burden of this preventable disease.

The All Aceh Ulama Association (PUSA) is where reformist clerics from Aceh gather. PUSA was born based on their concerns about the socio-religious conditions in Aceh, which were trapped in rigid Islamic practices, so there had to be a breakthrough to change the education system in Aceh to make it more advanced. Since the first PUSA congress in 1940, this organization began to serve as a forum for conveying people's aspirations so that PUSA was actively involved in a series of political events in Aceh. The written discussion focuses on the period from 1939, the year of PUSA's formation, until 1962, the end of PUSA's political influence. This research is a social history study, so a socio-political approach is used to analyze the PUSA political movement. Meanwhile, the four method steps in research are heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography. The research results show that the political action carried out by PUSA aims to fight for Aceh to be free from all forms of colonialism and to implement Islamic Sharia. Some forms of PUSA political movements include holding a congress in Sigli, diplomacy with Japan, carrying out a rebellion against the Dutch, eradicating feudal practices and uleebalang power, and fighting for Aceh's rights in national politics in the DI/TII rebellion.

The COVID-19 pandemic posed many questions to world health. They could be satisfactorily answered only after a thorough study. During the initial period of the COVID-19 pandemic (early January 2020), it was considered a local outbreak of emergent coronavirus infection with an undetermined possibility of person-to-person transmission. However, on March 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) upgraded the status of the COVID-19 outbreak from epidemic to pandemic. The aim of this article was to analyze possible scenarios of the development of COVID-19 epidemics in Russia. COVID-19 infection occurs mainly in the beginning stage of the disease, when patients are not yet diagnosed. This is the fundamental difference between COVID-19 and SARS or MERS, in which patients become contagious after onset of symptoms of the disease. Based on the study of dynamics of changes in certain epidemiological characteristics, the epidemic in Russia was compared in this article with the same epidemics in China, Italy, Germany and the United States. The authors came to the conclusion, that the COVID-19 epidemic in Russia was different from the above mentioned epidemics, because the capital region (Moscow and Moscow region), the largest center of transport communications, became the epicenter of the epidemic in Russia. They considered different variants of epidemic development in Russia, depending on the intensity of ongoing anti-epidemic measures. To describe the spread of the epidemic, the SIR model (Susceptible Infected Recovered) proposed by Scottish epidemiologists W.O. Kermack and A.G. McKendrick was used. Based on the data obtained, it turned out to be possible to tentatively determine the final date of the active phase of the COVID-19 epidemic (after which it is possible to register only a limited number of cases of the disease). This date should come about 6 weeks after the completion of the plateau phase. The beginning of the plateau phase was early May 2020, and the end of the plateau phase should be mid June 2020. The estimated completion date should be August 8–25, 2020. The total number of people with a confirmed diagnosis could be 991–1122 thousand.

The Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on Their Destruction (BTWC) does not have a legally binding verification regime. An attempt by the Ad Hoc Group of Experts, created by the UN Committee on Disarmament, to strengthen the BTWC by developing a legally binding document – the Protocol, was blocked by the United States in July 2001. The purpose of this work is to study the history, main provisions, significance and reasons for not signing the Protocol to the BTWC. The attention is paid to the events in biological weapons control, which have led a number of countries to the understanding of the necessity to develop the Protocol. The background of the US actions to block this document is the subject of special consideration. During the Second Review Conference on the Implementation of the Convention (8–25 September 1986, Geneva) the USSR, the German Democratic Republic and the Hungarian People's Republic proposed to develop and adopt the Protocol as an addition to the BTWC. This document was supposed to establish general provisions, definitions of terms, lists of agents and toxins, lists of equipment that was present or used at production facilities, threshold quantities of biological agents designed to assess means and methods of protection. The proposed verification mechanism was based on three «pillars»: initial declarations with the basic information about the capabilities of each State Party; inspections to assess the reliability of the declarations; investigations to verify and confirm or not confirm the alleged non-compliance with the Convention. The verification regime was to be under the control of an international organization  – the Organization for the Prohibition of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons. However, the US military and pharmaceutical companies opposed the idea of international inspections. The then US Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, John Robert Bolton II, played a special role in blocking the Protocol. During the Fifth Review Conference in December 2001, he demanded the termination of the Ad Hoc Group of Experts mandate for negotiations under the pretext that any international agreement would constrain US actions. The current situation with biological weapons control should not be left to chance. Measures to strengthen the BTWC should be developed, taking into account the new fundamental changes in dual-use biotechnology. It should be borne in mind, that the Protocol, developed in the 1990s, is outdated nowadays.
