Authors: Ruiz de la Hermosa A. , Truyols-Hermosa F. , Pinya S.
Published: December 2022

Natural marks have increasingly been used as a tool for individual identification. One of the most popular techniques used by natural marks as an individual recognition tool is photo-identification. Photo-identification is a non-invasive alternative to traditional marking, which allows individual recognition of species through time and space. In this study, the APHIS (Automatic Photo Identification Suite) software has been evaluated as software capable of identifying individuals of Acherontia atropos (Linnaeus, 1758). The SPM (Spot Pattern Matching) and ITM (Image Template Matching) procedures were tested and found to achieve 100% success of individuals recognition. Thus, for the first time in a Sphingidae, the colour pattern of the dorsal part of the thorax of A. atropos is demonstrated to represent a suitable natural mark for individual recognition.

Intra Ocular Pressure Changes in Soldiers during Military March
Authors: Makateb Ali , Bayat Reza
Published: December 2022

Background: Military activities cannot be classified as pure isometric or pure dynamic exercise. The effects of these activities on intra ocular pressure (IOP) have not been investigated so far. Objectives: The current study aimed to evaluate the short-term effects of military activities on IOP. Methods: Following a cross-sectional design, this study was conducted on 44 soldiers in the Islamic Republic of Iran Army. Soldiers’ heart rate and IOP were recorded before marching activities at rest, immediately after marching, and 30 minutes after the march. The measurements were repeated in the same process in 3 months. The marching activity was the same for all participants and took 60 minutes. Results: In total, 44 soldiers were studied, with a mean age of 21.80 ± 1.56 years. The IOP measurements before, immediately after, and 30 minutes after the marching were significantly different. IOP was significantly lower after the march (P < 0.001), and 30 minutes after the march, it was increasing gradually. The same results were observed in the IOP measurements 3 months later. We found no association between IOP after marching and heart rates before and after marching. Also, no significant association was observed between IOP and age. Conclusions: IOP was significantly decreased after marching, but it was transient. The results indicate that the dynamic component in military marches is more prominent than isometric parts.
Study of the Effect of Bacteriocin-producing Bacillus subtilis Strains on Beta-lactamase-producing Pathogenic Bacteria
Authors: Ghazaei Ciamak
Published: December 2022

Background: The emergence of antimicrobial resistance results in morbidities and mortalities associated with many bacterial infections and is a major concerning issue in front of the healthcare system. As a part of a competitive adaptive strategy for its growth, gram-positive bacteria like Bacillus subtilis produce antimicrobial peptides; bacteriocins. These peptides protect other bacterial species. Objectives: To counter antimicrobial resistance, bacteriocins can be considered a potential drug option against drug-resistant microorganisms. Methods: After isolation and characterisation of B. subtilis from the 5 collected soil samples, the bacteriocin was extracted from these bacteria by using the ‘solvent extraction method’, characterised, and then purified to evaluate its antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria like; Streptococcus pyogenes, Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii by using ‘Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion’, method. The bacteriocin stability was also investigated, at different temperatures, pH and incubation times. Results: The bacteriocin of B. subtilis showed great antimicrobial activity against S. pyogenes, followed by S. typhi and P. aeruginosa. However, the lowest antimicrobial activity was against A. baumannii. With the increase in the incubation time and temperature, the antimicrobial activity of bacteriocin was decreased, indicating the protein nature of bacteriocin. Compared to the standard antibiotics, the bacteriocin isolated from B. subtilis demonstrated a significant inhibitory effect against the tested pathogens. Conclusions: From this study, it can be concluded that bacteriocin can become a potential alternative to standard available medicines. They can be used against antimicrobial-resistant pathogenic bacteria because of their significant inhibitory activity against the tested pathogens compared to the standard antibiotics.

Published: December 2022

Background: SARS-CoV-2 virus caused the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide. One of the main pathogenic features of this virus is unpredictable clinical sequence rapidly progressing to lethal complications. Identification of clinical and laboratory prognostic factors for severe COVID-19 may contribute to the management of follow-up and treatment modalities of the disease. Complete blood count (CBC) is a fast and inexpensive laboratory test which provides a wealth of information on individual health status. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the CBC test parameters in COVID-19 patients compared to healthy individuals. Methods: We performed a retrospective study on 147 patients with COVID-19 and 95 healthy subjects as the control group. Based on the severity of COVID-19, the patients were divided into 4 groups including mild, moderate, severe and deceased. Complete blood count parameters were recorded in all groups and obtained data were analyzed using the chi-square test at the significance level of P < 0.05 (SPSS, version 23). Results: The severity of the disease increased with age and men were more likely to die from disease complications. Most CBC parameters were found to be significantly increased in patients. Significantly increased neutrophils and decreased lymphocytes were the most relevant predictors of severe disease and death. The only CBC parameter that was not associated with the disease was basophil count. Conclusions: The CBC, especially in terms of the neutrophil and lymphocyte parameters is a simple and accurate test that can be used to predict the severity of the COVID-19 disease.
Laser Therapy in Lip Venous Lake: A Case Report
Authors: Jalili Sadrabad Maryam , Ali Askari Bahareh , Hayati Zahra , Mirzai Alireza
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Venous varices are vascular lesions caused by vasodilatation. These oral cavity lesions are usually seen as papules or dark blue nodules on the tongue’s ventral surface buccal and retro-commissural mucosae. They are generally asymptomatic but may cause problems such as bleeding on trauma or lack of esthetics. Although many treatment modalities exist for these lesions, the laser is a novel and less invasive method. It secures patient satisfaction more than other methods due to the lack of bleeding and pain. Unlike previous laser therapy methods used for cutting and excision of small vascular lesions, in this lesson, the coagulation properties of laser are employed to eliminate the lesion. Case Presentation: To illustrate, a 70-year-old female person was admitted to the dental clinic of the Semnan University of Medical Sciences, Iran, for a dental examination. She has no systemic problems. During the extra-oral examination, the lesion was visualized on the right side of her lower lip, and the initial diagnosis of a venous lake was made. The lesion was asymptomatic and had been present for several years. Likewise, after obtaining informed consent, treatment with a 940-diode laser was performed. Immediately after the irradiation, the lesion disappeared, and after four weeks, the lip’s texture was completely normal. Conclusions: Exploiting the coagulation properties of the laser to eliminate venous lakes is advantageous over other methods because of the lack of bleeding or pain. Furthermore, this method has a shorter healing time.
Better Sense of Force Accuracy in Women with Stress Urinary Incontinence Compared with Women Without Stress Urinary Incontinence: A Surprising Result in a Case-Control Study
Authors: Kharaji Ghazal , Nikjooy Afsaneh , Amiri Ali , Sanjari Mohammad Ali , Jafari Hassan , Berghmans Bary , Ghaderi Fariba
Published: December 2022

Background: It has been demonstrated that pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) are involved in the pathophysiology of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Sense of force, an aspect of proprioception, has never been evaluated in PFMs. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the proprioception of PFMs by evaluating the accuracy of force sense in adult women with SUI compared to those with continence. A further aim was to study the accuracy of force sense between various lengths and tensions of PFMs. Methods: Twenty-three women with SUI and 18 women without it were recruited in six trials with four different test conditions: 5 mm/40% (speculum opening/maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) percentage to produce), 5 mm/70%, 10 mm/40%, and 10 mm/70%. All participants were asked to reproduce the target force based on their own perceptions. The dynamometer was used to evaluate the sense of force. Results: The accuracy of force sense differed between women with SUI and those without it. In all test conditions, women with SUI had higher force reproduction accuracy. The highest amount of error was recorded at 10 mm and 40% MVC for either group. Conclusions: Women with SUI were more accurate in reproducing the target force than those with continence. Higher force sense accuracy may result from more attention to the pelvic floor area and a lack of automaticity of movements in women with SUI. Therefore, developing therapeutic management focusing on restoring automaticity seems advisable.
