Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is a dangerous bacterial infection that attacks the lungs. It has long been documented that there is an increase circulating levels of free radicals and oxidative stress markers in TB subjects. Malnutrition and deficient antioxidant capabilities further complicate the patient’s situation. The aim of this study is to determine the serum levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in pulmonary tuberculosis patients and normal volunteers at Rasheed Shekoni Teaching Hospital Dutse, Jigawa State, Nigeria. The present study consists of one hundred and thirty-four (134) subjects, Ninety (90) among which are diagnosed TB patients and forty-four (44) apparently healthy controls attending Rasheed Shekoni Teaching Hospital Dutse. Venous samples were collected from ninety consecutive, consenting PTB on drugs and those that have not started medications. MDA levels were analysed using the method of Nadigar et al (1986). The mean values of MDA in the 24 tuberculosis infected males who are yet to commence drug was 4.0±0.32, 2.8±0.53 in those that are on drugs and 2.0±0.23 in the male control subjects. It was 4.1±0.35, 2.9±0.29 and 1.9±0.32 in female that are TB infected and yet to commence drugs, those on drugs and the control subjects respectively. The total mean MDA value for those on tuberculosis drugs was 4.0±0.33, 2.8±0.46 for those that are yet to commence the treatment and 2.0±0.28 for the control subjects, the serum levels of SOD was found significantly lower (p<0.005) in PTB subjects on treatment compared to those without treatment and control subjects. Conclusively, the findings of the current study showed that pulmonary tuberculosis patients are predisposed to oxidative stress leading to an increased MDA and consequent decreased SOD levels as compared to the control subjects.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of intravenous morphine versus lidocaine on renal colic in patients admitted to the emergency department. Methods and Materials: In this clinical trial study, 80 patients with renal colic admitted to the emergency department were included. Patients were divided into two groups randomly, namely Lidocaine and morphine groups. Each patient’s pain score was recorded 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes after the injection using Numeric Pain Intensity Scale (NPIS). Results: There were significant decreases in mean of pain scores in both groups (p <0.001). Pain reduction was significantly higher in Lidocaine-received group at 30th minutes after injection (p <0.001). Having compared groups in terms of complications, it was found that only dizziness in patients who received Lidocaine was significantly higher than that of the other group (p = 0.016). Conclusion: Considering the significant reduction in pain intensity of all patients, the effect of both medications on the reduction of pain in renal colic is confirmed. Given that pain relief in Lidocaine group was significantly more than that in morphine group after 10 minutes of injection, it can be concluded that Lidocaine is more effective than morphine in controlling renal colic.

It has been recently reported by World Health Organization reported that currently world is suffering an extreme shortage of donor blood. A possible future solution to this problem could be the promising virgin area of nanorobotics; an aspect of nanotechnology that deals with designing and manufacturing of nanorobots ranging in size from 0.1-10 micrometers. It’s all began in the 19th century when a researcher named Robert A. Frietas at the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing (IMM) designed mechanical artificial RBC called a “Respirocyte” and mechanical platelets called Clottocytes that will have an improved physiological function of the natural RBCs and platelets respectively. Chemically inert element such as diamond or fullerene nanocomposite may be central and principal in the manufacturing of these medical nanoparticles
The Covid-19 Crisis and the need for suitable face masks for the general population

Published: July 2021

In relation to SARS-CoVid-2 a theoretical gold standard of face mask use is discussed and a similar principle for lockdown. The use of face masks in the general population is debated in relation to the UK public health advice that face masks are not needed in the general population. There is substantial evidence of ability of SARS-CoVid-2 to spread by aerosol which makes the UK Government’s public health advice and indeed that of the WHO, that social distancing and hand hygiene alone are required in the general population questionable. The question is not should the general public have mask protection but what degree of mask protection is needed? There is a shortage of suitable masks for health care workers in the UK but the need for this demand is driven by the large numbers of infected people in the community. Once the public health advice is adjusted polititians can start to try and solve the enormous logistical problem of protecting the public.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of intratympanic injection of dexamethasone and triamcinolone on sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). Methods: In this study 60 patients with SSNHL were divided into two groups of Dexamethasone 8 mg and Triamcinolone 40 mg. Patients in both groups underwent five injections. Hearing status of the two groups was recorded one day before each injection as well as one week and one month after the last injection at different frequencies. Any possible complications following the injection, such as infection and tympanic membrane perforation was evaluated and recorded. Results: The results showed that after the first and second injection, there was no significant difference between the two groups regarding hearing frequency and speech discrimination score (SDS). Significant differences were observed between the two groups in the third and fourth injections at a frequency of 500 Hz and also in the fifth injection at frequencies of 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz. Tympanic membrane perforation was observed in three patients in the dexamethasone group (P.value>0.05). Conclusion: In our study, the effect of triamcinolone was found to be significantly better than dexamethasone in the treatment of SSHNL at lower frequencies. The SDS was also higher in the triamcinolone group than dexamethasone. Based on our results, intratympanic injection of both triamcinolone and dexamethasone are safe and effective treatments for the treatment of SSNHL, but given its desirable medicinal properties, intratympanic injection of triamcinolone can be a safe and effective alternative for SSNHL treatment.

Published: July 2021

Introduction: It is well known now that the emergence of Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) started the grand fish market of Wuhan, China. According to official reports, fish consumption differs widely between countries; likewise, the spread of SARS-Cov-2 is highly variable in different parts of the world. Objectives: In this article correlation between fish consumption and the incidence of Covid-19 infection was performed, in addition to general descriptive statistics of the two variables. Study design: A cross-sectional comparative record-based study. Materials and Methods: The study was performed by tracking the reports of Covid-19 progression and the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) reports on Fish consumption. Countries that had been excluded for been absent from the FAO report or the Covid-19 map (or both), were 14. A total of 174 countries worldwide were included in this research. Correlations between the variables were performed on a global prospect and each continent individually. Results: The average fish consumption per capita worldwide was 19.02+/-16.82 kilograms; the average incidence per million for Covid-19 was 1432+/-2372 cases per million population (CPM); and the correlation between fish consumption per capita and Covid-19 incidence worldwide was 0.089573896; a very weak positive correlation. Apart from Europe, all correlations between the two variables: fish consumption and the incidences of Covid-19, were weak or very weak. Conclusion: The assumption of Covid-19 being a zoonotic disease does not seem to fit for fish. Discordant statistics of correlation between fish-eating and the spread of the pandemic was against this theory.

Antibiotics are a class of drugs that are widely used to eliminate the causes of many infectious diseases around the world. It should be borne in mind that their irrational and irregular administration will increase bacterial resistance and dangerous complications. For this reason, timely diagnosis and usage of antibiotics is one of the tasks of physicians to improve the patient's use of the lowest number of antibiotics. This was a retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study. The samples were selected by non-random sampling from all records of patients admitted to Shahid Sadoughi Hospital of Yazd from HIS hospital system with total number of 82742. The type of hospital admission, the type of prescription, the cause of antibiotic prescription, the cost of antibiotic use was entered into the questionnaire. The most commonly used antibiotics were cefazolin with a frequency of 18.41%, clindamycin with a frequency of 17.49%, ceftriaxone with a frequency of 15.48% and vancomycin with a frequency of 10.18% and metronidazole with a frequency of 7%, respectively. The most costly antibiotics were meropenem (14.28% of costs), vancomycin (13.4%), and amphotericin (10.09%). The pattern of antibiotic use in hospitals should be more carefully considered and given the cost and burden of unnecessary antibiotic use, serious consideration should be given to antibiotic use.

Objective: Iron deficiency (ID) is a frequent complication in end stage renal insufficiency. These patients have to be diagnosed and treated to reduce the prevalence of anemia. Functional iron deficiency (FID) is a situation that can disrupt biochemical iron tests and mask an eventual association with ID. In this study, we tried to prove the ability of extended parameters of red cells and reticulocytes to diagnose ID without being influenced by FID. Design and methods: 164 chronic hemodialysis patients (CHP) in end stage renal disease were enrolled. Research parameters of red cells and reticulocytes determined on ADVIA 2120i were studied in the diagnosis of ID associated or not with chronic inflammation. Results: Parameters such as corpuscular hemoglobin of mature red cells (CHm), corpuscular hemoglobin of reticulocytes (CHr), cellular concentration of hemoglobin in mature red cells (CHCMm), cellular concentration of hemoglobin in reticulocytes (CHCMr) and percentage of microcytic and hypochromic red cells (HYMI) showed a high sensitivity to diagnose ID. However, the distinction of combined iron deficiency (CID) from other entities was not possible with all parameters. In chronic inflammatory states, the decrease of CHm, CHCMm and CHCMr with the rise of percentage hypochromic mature red cells (HYPOm) and reticulocytes (HYPOr) is in favor of CID. So, determination of inflammatory state is needed to complete research parameters of blood count in CHP. Conclusion: Extended erythrocyte and reticulocyte parameters can be useful to check iron status in CHP.

Authors:   Doctor Of Philosophy (PhD), National University Of Uzbekistan, Majidova Oysafar Umarovna
Published: July 2021

In this article, Ibn Sina's logical views, in particular his ideas on forms of thinking, are discussed in the context of the process of achieving truth. At the same time, it is revealed on the basis of Ibn Sina's logical views that such forms of thinking as perception, judgment, and inference are important elements in the process of achieving truth. That is, while the definition of a concept is a necessary element in the process of achieving truth, considerations are revealed, in particular, complex considerations and conclusions based on an analysis of Ibn Sina’s works on logic. Importantly, it is logical that Ibn Sina’s conception of truth as a final stage in the conclusion that reasoning is a form of thinking is logical.

The study of the issue of child socialization is one of the current problems of ethnology. Because through the upbringing of children, one can learn a lot about the lifestyle, spiritual outlook, psychological image and socio-economic history of the people. This article aims to study the features of child socialization in a modern Uzbek village on the example of a village. The information in the article was collected during the author's expeditions to the village of Mindon in 2012-2014. Research methods: direct observation, in-depth interview-based interviews and questionnaires. Theoretically, it was based on T. Parsons' structural functional theory on the study of socialization [26, p.58.]. In this theory, the family is shown as the first major stage of socialization. The study shows that the traditional method of upbringing in the family depends on the lifestyle of the people and is based on the experience of the people in child psychology, taking into account the mental and physical aspects of the mother from pregnancy to childbirth and adulthood. The data presented in the study can be used to study the culture, ethnography, spiritual and moral characteristics of the Uzbek people and to theoretically enrich such areas as ethnopsychology, ethnopedagogy, gender socialization, sociology of education.
