We conducted a case-control study to identify risk and protective factors during a cholera outbreak in Jijiga, Ethiopia, in June 2017. A case-patient was defined as anyone > 5 years old with at least three loose stools in 24 hours who was admitted to a cholera treatment center in Jijiga on or after June 16, 2017. Two controls were matched to each case by type of residency (rural or urban) and age group. We enrolled 55 case-patients and 102 controls from June 16 to June 23, 2017. Identified risk factors for cholera were male sex, eating cold food, and eating food outside the home. Eating hot food was protective, as was reported handwashing after defecation; no other reported water, sanitation, and hygiene factors were associated with cholera risk. Recommendations included continuing messaging about safe food handling practices at home, the dangers of consuming meals prepared away from home, and the importance of hand hygiene practices.
Phase Modality of External Evaluations in Higher Education
Authors: Širok Jernej , Mravlja Martina
Published: April 2023

To better understand the evaluation practices set by the Bologna process as well as their properties and implications, this paper critically explores the judgements of quality in external evaluations in higher education with regard to their orientation towards three phases: conditions, processes and end states. It furthermore explores how this modality is connected with how critical external evaluations are. It develops a theoretical framework for observing evaluation practices to support the statistical analysis of external evaluation reports for 485 study programmes in Slovenian higher education. The findings offer insight into how quality assurance impacts higher education in practice, considering that the subsequent measures taken by the higher education institutions correspond with the outcomes of the evaluations.

In most of the real life problems, we encounter with nonlinear differential equations. Problems are made more understandable by modeling them with these equations. In this way, it becomes easier to interpret the problems and reach the results. In 1913, the basic enzymatic reaction model introduced by Michaelis and Menten to describe enzyme processes is an example of nonlinear differential equation. This model is the one of the simplest and best-known approaches of the mechanisms used to model enzyme-catalyzed reactions and is the most studied. For most nonlinear differential equations, it is very difficult to get an analytical solution. For this reason, various studies have been carried out to find approximate solutions to such equations. Among these studies, those in which two different methods are used by blending attract attention. In this study, a blended form of the Kashuri Fundo transform method and the Adomian decomposition method, so-called the Kashuri Fundo decomposition method, is used to find a solution to the Michaelis-Menten nonlinear biochemical reaction model in this way. This method has been applied to the biochemical reaction model and an approximate solution has been obtained for this model without complex calculations. This shows that the hybrid method is an effective, reliable, simpler and time-saving method in reaching the solutions of nonlinear differential equations.

Various types of dynamical systems, such as ordinary differential equations (ODEs) or partial differential equations (PDEs), are widely applied not only in chemistry but also in many scientific disciplines to model the dynamics arising from interactions described by reactions between molecules, individuals, or species. This study provides an overview of how Chemical Organization Theory (COT) can be used to analyze such systems by identifying all potentially persistent species solely from the underlying reaction network, without the need for simulations or even knowledge of reaction constants or kinetic laws. Two minimalist examples with only three resp. four species are used to introduce all fundamental definitions including a new, naturally arising concept of persistence, and to illustrate the fore-mentioned technique without mathematical details such as proofs. Thereby, COT is shown to provide measures to analyze, compare, and construct very complex systems on an abstract level and thus to complement other powerful techniques for the analysis of complex systems such as deficiency, RAF theory, elementary modes, graph theory, Lyapunov functions, and bifurcation theory.

Coping Strategies among Elderly Women with Knee Osteoarthritis Pain at Beni-Suef City: Impact of Socio-demographic Characteristics
Authors: Ottofaro Trevor
Published: April 2023

Background: Given that optimization of management of the subscapularis is essential to ensuring an optimal outcome after shoulder arthroplasty, this review will focus on the ideal method of Lesser Tuberosity Osteotomy (LTO) repair and the methods by which this is assessed. Specifically, we will review the existing literature to determine how suture configuration, number of sutures, type of sutures, and osteotomy size all influence the biomechanics of an LTO repair.

Methods: A systematic review was performed in which one reviewer searched PubMed to find studies analyzing biomechanical strength of lesser tuberosity osteotomy repairs after a total shoulder arthroplasty. The following keywords were used to retrieve articles: (biomechanical) and (Lesser Tuberosity Osteotomy) or (LTO) or (subscapularis repair) and (total shoulder).

Results: Nine studies met inclusion criteria. LTO was the strongest, most durable repair in most biomechanical studies. However, the biomechanical testing protocols and repair techniques widely varied throughout the literature. Dual row repair with sutures wrapped around the stem as well thin LTO fragments showed superior biomechanical outcomes. There has been minimal literature focusing on how the number, size and type of suture utilized in a repair affect biomechanical outcomes.

Discussion: While the LTO repair technique has been demonstrated in multiple studies to be a biomechanically superior method of subscapularis repair in the setting of TSA, there has not been a single study which has analyzed the effects of repair technique, osteotomy size, as well as suture number/type/size using a standardized biomechanical testing protocol.

Some Criticisms of Sufism and their Answers
Authors: Habibi Seraj Ahmad , Hashmi Said Ghulam Mohammad , Rohani Mohammad Nazir
Published: April 2023

If philosophy, on one hand, has so many followers and believers, on the other hand, it has critics and opponents. The ones who criticize are usually mullahs and slightly educated ones. They assume that Sufis’ acts and views do not have any place in Islamic Sharia. The acts and views which are criticized by them are the raqs (dance) and sama (singing), going to shrines and considering it a way of being close to Allah and of accepting prayer, respecting their Pirs and Murshids to the rank of worship, giving a special dhikr to his murids and specifying a special number to it by the Pir, and etc. This article is written in the light of holy Islamic Sharia aiming to answer such criticisms and objections, so they also reach the true and original reality based on it. The contents and conclusion of this article prove that various criticisms and objections, which they have against Sufism, have no base and origin of Islamic Sharia. In fact, the source of the mentioned criticisms and objections comes from personal complexes and beliefs. Therefore, this article tries to analyze and clarify this issue in the light of first hand references of Islamic Sharia, so they take the message that the evidence that they try to use as proof, the Sufi and theosophist also use it as proof; however, the only difference is that they and the Sufis draw different conclusions from it. Researching this issue is important because people are going away from the spirituality and coming closer to materiality at this time and they should not do this because love with materiality causes the destruction of life in the world and the hereafter. This is a library research and its method is analytical and descriptive.
Asociación entre uricemia y síndrome metabólico en un centro hospitalario de Corrientes
Authors: Gorbán de Lapertosa Silvia Beatriz , Miño Claudia Alejandra , Llanos Isabel Cristina , González Claudio Daniel
Published: April 2023

Introducción: en los últimos años numerosa evidencia científica sugiere que la hiperuricemia puede jugar un papel en el desarrollo del síndrome metabólico (SM). En algunos estudios se ha explorado la asociación entre la uricemia y la presencia de SM. Sin embargo, aún no está del todo esclarecido si altos niveles del ácido úrico (AU) se relacionan de una manera causal con el desarrollo del SM. Más aún, existen pocos estudios acerca de la presencia del SM y su relación con los niveles de AU en la ciudad de Corrientes.Objetivos: determinar la relación de los niveles séricos de AU y los parámetros que definen el SM en pacientes que concurren al consultorio externo de Clínica Médica y Medicina General del Hospital Ángela I. de Llano, Corrientes, Argentina.Materiales y métodos: estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo y transversal. Se aplicó un cuestionario para la recolección de datos como: edad, sexo, medicamentos empleados, y antecedentes de tabaquismo. A los participantes se les midió el peso, la talla y la circunferencia de cintura, y se les calculó el índice de masa corporal. Se realizó la determinación de glucosa basal, curva de tolerancia oral a la glucosa, AU, triglicéridos, HDL colesterol, y presión arterial sistólica y diastólica. La presencia de SM se definió de acuerdo al criterio modificado del National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III).Resultados: se incluyó un total de 435 pacientes mayores de 18 años: 312 mujeres (72%) y 123 hombres (28%). El 58% de la población cumplía con el criterio de SM del NCEP-ATP III (60% mujeres y 52% hombres). El 75% presentó hiperuricemia y SM.  En este estudio la presencia de SM se asoció significativamente con los valores de uricemia OR: 1.5 (IC95%: 1,3-1,8). La asociación fue estadísticamente significativa.Conclusiones: los resultados demostraron que el aumento de la frecuencia de los componentes del SM está en relación directa con el incremento de los niveles séricos de AU, y que el valor de corte para esta asociación fue de 4 mg/dl; de ahí la importancia de considerar la determinación de los niveles séricos de AU como posible predictor de SM.

Published: April 2023

Introducción: existen dos términos para describir el crecimiento fetal excesivo: “grande para la edad gestacional” (GEG) y “macrosomía”. GEG generalmente implica un peso al nacer superior al percentil 90 para una edad gestacional determinada.
Objetivos: estimar la incidencia de recién nacidos GEG, y evaluar si la obesidad y la diabetes mellitus gestacional (DMG) son factores asociados.
Materiales y métodos: estudio de cohorte retrospectivo de embarazadas -con y sin DMG- y sus recién nacidos vivos entre 2015 y 2018, evaluadas en el Hospital Italiano de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. La incidencia de recién nacidos GEG y de macrosomía se presentó como porcentajes e intervalos de confianza del 95% (IC 95%), así como sus complicaciones. Se utilizó regresión logística múltiple para evaluar si la DMG y la obesidad eran factores asociados a recién nacidos GEG.
Resultados: la incidencia de GEG fue del 15,9% (IC 95%; 14,1-17,9) y de macrosomía del 6,7% (IC 95%; 5,5-8,1). La incidencia de recién nacidos GEG fue mayor en las mujeres con DMG y obesidad. La obesidad representó per se un mayor riesgo con y sin asociación con DMG. La obesidad, en presencia de DMG, incrementa la chance de recién nacidos GEG comparada con las mujeres sin DMG y sin obesidad (OR 2,41; p<0,001).
Conclusiones: la DM y la obesidad materna incrementan el riesgo de GEG. Es importante implementar medidas preventivas e intervenciones en las mujeres en edad fértil con el objetivo de promover la salud de la madre y de su descendencia.
PREVALENCE OF POTENTIAL ZOONOTIC BACTERIAL PATHOGENS ISOLATED FROM HOUSEHOLD PET BIRDS AND THEIR ANTIMICROBIAL PROFILE IN NORTHERN BANGLADESH
Authors: Nupur MN
Published: April 2023

Pet bird rearing has become increasingly popular recently, and owners often raise them near to their homes. However, zoonotic infections can spread from pet birds. Thus, this cross-sectional study explored the prevalence of potentially zoonotic bacterial pathogens in household pet birds, risk factors for transmission, and antibiotic susceptibility of isolated bacteria. A total of 240 samples were analyzed, including cloacal swabs (n=80), oral swabs (n=80), and feces (n=80) from pigeons, parrots, budgerigars, and quails. Using cultural and biochemical assays five species of potential zoonotic bacteria namely E. coli, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Klebsiella spp. and Staphylococcus spp. were detected. The prevalence of potential zoonotic bacteria was not statistically significant (P>0.05) across age, sex, breed, body weight and diet, while the prevalence was significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01) correlated with hygienic condition and vaccination. The overall prevalence of bacterial isolates from pet birds were E. coli (19.6%) Salmonella spp. (13.3%), Shigella spp. (14.6%), Klebsiella spp. (15.4%) and Staphylococcus spp. (15%). Quail had the highest prevalence of E. coli, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Klebsiella spp., and Staphylococcus spp., with 33.3%, 25%, 25%, 29.1%, and 29.1%, respectively. Sample-wise prevalence of Salmonella spp. and Staphylococcus spp. was highly statistically significant (P<0.01) in pigeon, while prevalence of E. coli, Shigella spp., Klebsiella spp., and Staphylococcus spp. was statistically significant (P<0.05) in budgerigar, pigeon, parrot, and quail. The antibiotic sensitivity test with 18 antibiotics demonstrated that bacterial isolates were most sensitive to GEN (83.1%), followed by LEV (81.5%), CIP (80.4%), KAN (77.8%), and CFM (59.3%). Likewise, there was 100% resistance to PG, AMX, BAC followed by CH (98.4%), COX (95.2%), CN (90.5%), TET (77.2%) and VAN (75.7%). The findings of this study suggest that the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacterial isolates into pet birds in Dinajpur, Bangladesh, poses a risk to the wellbeing of both owners and the general populace.

Aim: In frozen-thawed embryo transfers (FET), Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) agonists have recently been used to improve implantation results. It is preferred to administer it in the luteal phase of the previous cycle. The objective was to compare the effects of different administration days of depot GnRH agonists on implantation and pregnancy rates in the artificial cycle of FET. Material and Method: A retrospective case-control study was conducted in an in vitro fertilization (IVF) center in a university hospital, including all women starting an artificial cycle of FET. One thousand two hundred and twenty-seven (n:1227) FET cycles were scanned from the files from October 2014 to December 2021. Depot agonists (Lucrin depot 3.75 mg sc Abbott USA.-leuprolide acetate) were used in 219 patients with endometriosis. In 58 patients, it was administered on day 21 of the previous cycle (Group 1), and in 161 patients, it was administered on day 2 of the same cycle (Group 2). Results: This study showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups in laboratory parameters and endometrial thickness (p>0.05). There was no statistically significant association between the abort rate and transfer day (p>0.05). There was no statistically significant association between the pregnancy results and transfer day (p>0.05). The ongoing pregnancy rate (OPR) rate was relatively high in the second group compared to the twenty-first day of the previous cycle (87/161(54%) vs. 30/58 (51.7%)). The biochemical pregnancy was relatively high in the second-day group compared to the twenty-first day of the previous cycle (62/161(38.5%) vs. 21/58 (36.2%)). The abort rate was relatively high in the twenty-first-day group compared to the second day of the cycle (25/87(28.75%) vs. 9/30(30%)).
