Adrian Păunescu: literary, journalistic and political activity
Authors: Moldovan Daniela
Published: September 2024

The article aims to give an overview of the whole range of literary, journalistic and political activities of Adrian Păunescu. Our endeavor is structured in five sections and constitutes a presentation of the poet’s life and literary activity, his publicizing and social-political involvement in the Romanian landscape, with a focus on the problematic and thematic of his poems. The article attempts a delimitation of the poetic work under the incidence of two great political periods, marked in its literary direction by the turning point represented by the 1989 Revolution, a decisive moment in terms of freedom of expression. In the first period we can distinguish a first stage, that of youthful creation, and a second, from which a new vision of poetry and the world emerges. We therefore examine the development of poetry, in two stages, in the period from the 1960s to the 1980s and that after the 1990s, from the perspective of censorship, the political influences of the communist regime and freedom of expression. We devote a separate section to the period marked by the emergence of the “Cenacl Flacăra”, a young and nonconformist cultural movement created by Adrian Păunescu as an ideal space to promote poetry on national and patriotic themes. We will highlight some information on Adrian Păunescu’s political activity and how his political objectives evolved in relation to the regime change.
The Romanian Orthodox Church from perspective the political factor (1944–1989)
Authors: Enache Ionut
Published: September 2024

Based on specialized literature, unpublished historical sources (archive materials), speeches of political leaders of the time, press and legislation of the time, memoirs, etc. the evolution of the Romanian Orthodox Church in the post-war period is analyzed; the international and internal factors, radical changes in the life of the largest ecclesiastical institution in Romania. This article presented the influence of the main ruling party (Romanian Labor Party/ Romanian Communist Party) in the life of the Romanian Orthodox Church. A review is made of the main political and repressive instruments (Ministry/Department of Cults) that influenced the course of religious life under the communist regime. The moderate actions, as well as the radical ones used by the political authorities on religious life, were presented. The political discourse related to the edification of Romanian society was analyzed, identifying in this way the place of the Romanian Orthodox Church. In order to survive the new conditions, hostile to religious cults, the clerical institution had to apply different forms of “coexistence” with the political authorities. Although the legislation of the time provided for religious freedom, the political factor kept a close eye on the religious establishment. In the context of the “edification of the multilaterally developed social site society”, the role of the church in society became increasingly uncertain.

First Time as Tragedy, Second Time as Farce
Authors: Nicola Fernanda G. , D. Cameron Jasmine
Published: September 2024

In December 2023 the Hungarian Parliament speedily adopted the Act on the Protection of National Sovereignty and by February 2024 the government had already designated the Sovereignty Protection Office (SPO) for its enforcement. The history repeats itself, first time as tragedy, second time as farce. The current activities of the SPO exemplify the Hungarian government’s ongoing efforts to undermine free and independent society. It is crucial for the Union and European civil society to once again act swiftly to prevent the harassment of journalists and the potential disappearance of NGOs.

Published: September 2024

The rapid emergence and global spread of infectious diseases pose significant challenges to public health. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have shown great potential in enhancing our ability to prevent, detect, and control infectious disease outbreaks. However, as a growing interdisciplinarity field, a gap exists between AI scientists and infectious disease biologists, limiting the full potential of AI in this field. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the applications of AI in infectious diseases, focusing on the progress along the four stages of outbreaks: pre-pandemic, early pandemic, pandemic, and periodic epidemic stages. We discuss AI methods in early detection and risk assessment, outbreak surveillance, diagnosis and control, and understanding pathogenic mechanisms. We also propose the primary limitations, challenges, and potential solutions associated with AI tools in public health contexts while examining crucial considerations for future enhanced implementation. By harnessing the power of AI, we can develop more precise and targeted strategies to mitigate the burden of infectious diseases and improve global health.

Evaluation of Socioeconomic and Racial/Ethnic Disparities in All-Cause Mortality in Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer
Authors: Henderson Scott , Duggan Mark , Chao Chun , Cooper Robert
Published: September 2024

Background: Adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients with cancer have historically been understudied. Few studies have examined survival disparities associated with racial/ethnic and socioeconomic status (SES) and do not account for the influence of insurance status and access to care. We evaluated the association of SES and race/ethnicity with overall mortality for AYA patients who were members of an integrated health system with relatively equal access to care. Methods: AYA patients diagnosed with the 15 most common cancer types during 2010 through 2018 at Kaiser Permanente Southern California were included. Neighborhood Deprivation Index (NDI) quartile (Q1: least deprived; Q4: most deprived) was used as a measure of SES. Mortality rate per 1,000 person-years was calculated for each racial/ethnic and NDI subgroup. Multivariable Cox model was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause mortality adjusting for sex, age and stage at diagnosis, cancer type, race/ethnicity, and NDI. Results: Data for 6,379 patients were tracked for a maximum of 10 years. Crude mortality rates were higher among non-White racial/ethnic patients compared with non-Hispanic (NH)–White patients. In the Cox model, Hispanic (HR, 1.31; P=.004) and NH-Black (HR, 1.34; P=.05) patients experienced significantly higher all-cause mortality risk compared with NH-White patients. Patients from more deprived neighborhoods had higher mortality risk. In the Cox model, there was no significant difference in all-cause mortality between Q1 and Q2 through Q4 (Q2: HR, 0.88; P=.26, Q3: HR, 0.94; P=.56, and Q4: HR, 0.95; P=.70). Conclusions: For AYAs with cancer with similar access to care, Hispanic and NH-Black patients have higher risk of all-cause mortality than NH-White patients, whereas no significant SES-associated survival disparities were observed. These findings warrant further investigation, awareness, and intervention to address inequities in cancer care among vulnerable populations.

Published: September 2024

Background: 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a major component of gastrointestinal cancer treatments. In multidrug regimens such as FOLFOX, FOLFIRI, and FOLFIRINOX, 5-FU is commonly administered as a bolus followed by an infusion. However, the pharmacologic rationale for incorporating the 5-FU bolus in these regimens is unclear, and there are other effective regimens for gastrointestinal cancers that do not include the bolus. The purpose of this study was to determine whether omission of the 5-FU bolus was associated with a difference in survival and toxicity. Methods: A real-world database from Flatiron Health was queried for patients with advanced colorectal, gastroesophageal, and pancreatic cancers who received first-line FOLFOX, FOLFIRI, and FOLFIRINOX regimens. Cox proportional hazards and Kaplan-Meier analyses were performed to compare survival outcomes between patients who received the 5-FU bolus and those who did not. Inverse probability of treatment weighted (IPTW) analysis was performed to adjust for treatment selection bias. Results: This study included 11,765 patients with advanced colorectal (n=8,670), gastroesophageal (n=1,481), and pancreatic (n=1,614) cancers. Among all first-line 5-FU multidrug regimens, 10,148 (86.3%) patients received a 5-FU bolus and 1,617 (13.7%) did not. After IPTW analysis, we found that omitting the bolus was not associated with a decrease in overall survival (hazard ratio, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.91–1.07; P=.74). However, omitting the bolus was associated with reductions in neutropenia (10.7% vs 22.7%; P<.01), thrombocytopenia (11.2% vs 16.1%; P<.01), and use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factors after treatment (19.6% vs 29.1%; P<.01). Conclusions: After adjusting for baseline clinical factors, we found that omission of the 5-FU bolus from FOLFOX, FOLFIRI, and FOLFIRINOX regimens was not associated with decreased survival, but resulted in decreased toxicity and possible health care savings

VAT in Cross-Border Activities: Ensuring the Implementation of the Neutrality Principle
Authors: Shved Yuliya
Published: September 2024

The main principle of building a regulatory legal framework governing the value added tax (VAT) is the private principle of neutrality, the implementation of which in the framework of foreign economic activity is also conditioned by the principles of territoriality and tax collection in the country of destination. A certain flexibility in the interpretation of the principles makes it possible to take into account modern economic realities and the goals pursued for the transformation of social practices. Accordingly, the normative legal construction of the VAT mechanism and the subsequent systematic building of law enforcement practice based on the above principles and taking into account their conditionality by a set of structural characteristics of the tax allows us to build an optimal model of value added taxation. The purpose of the study is to analyze the content and practical implementation of the principles that determine the VAT mechanism of foreign economic activity, in order to further ensure the neutrality of VAT. Research methods: dialectical, analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction, comparative legal. Conclusions: Ensuring the VAT neutrality of cross-border transactions within the framework of the requirements limited by the principle of territoriality can be implemented by structuring the VAT mechanism based on the principle of the country of destination. Understanding the content of the above principles allows to determine the best ways to develop legal regulations in relation to VAT of cross-border transactions. In particular, the implementation of the destination principle implies the necessity of legislative regulation of the following aspects of VAT: 1) determining the place of supply (taxation); 2) the procedure for taxation at the place of supply; 3) the existence and procedure for exercising the right to reimburse the amounts of input tax; 4) the procedure for reimbursement of paid amounts of VAT (input tax).
Fundamentals of the Mongolian Law System before Its Modernization in the Context of the Formation of a Renewed Legal Order in East Asia in the First Half of the 20th Century
Authors: Dudin Pavel
Published: September 2024

In the presented article, the author studies the way of institutionalization of Mongolian law as a unique civilizational phenomenon among the peoples and states of East Asia. According to the author, modern legal science needs to revise a number of Western-Centrist concepts, and in this process, the presented study of Mongolian law can partly serve as an effective tool. Taking into account the priorities outlined by the Program of Fundamental Scientific Research in the Russian Federation for the long-term period 2021—2030, as well as based on the current international situation, domestic legal science should consider the study of Mongolian law among the tasks facing the domestic academic community. The purpose of the article is to form an idea of the foundations of the Mongolian law system on the eve of its modernization in the first half of the 20th century. Research objectives: to identify the key periods of the development of Mongolian law within the stated historical framework; to formulate the category of Mongolian classical/traditional law; to characterize its most iconic sources; to construct its structure. The methodological basis for the work was made up of civilizational and comparative legal approaches, the method of hermeneutics and the formal legal method. As a result of the conducted research, six main stages in the development of Mongolian law were identified, while four periods were noted in which the Mongolian legislator turned to the experience of other powers of his era, receiving their right into the national legal system. It is emphasized that despite this, Mongolian law has still retained its identity and uniqueness. The category of Mongolian classical law is formulated, the historical conditions of its registration are substantiated. Based on the analysis of sources, the institutional continuity is proved, and the construct of the Mongolian law system is presented. It is stated that the definition of “Far Eastern” is replaced by the definition of “East Asian” in relation to law, which excludes the colonial nature of the phenomenon under study.

Published: September 2024

This review discussed the feasibility of using palm oil fly ash (POFA) as a cementitious material for partially replacing cement in producing concrete. Such an application is known to mitigate the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2). Meanwhile, POFA is one of the general wastes generated from palm oil mills, and it is conventionally disposed of via landfills. Thus, using POFA to generate concrete could mitigate the depletion of raw material, i.e., limestone, used for cement.
Factors Determining the Customers’ Intention to Purchase OTC Products through E-Pharmacies
Authors: R. Krishnadas , R. Renganathan
Published: September 2024

In the health care system, over-the-counter (non-prescribed) drugs play a crucial role in the medication process. Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs are medicinal products sold without a doctor's prescription. Without seeking care from health professionals, OTC medications are safe and effective for the general public usage. Generally, OTCs and self-medicines are used to treat mild health issues in a simpler and inexpensive way. Cold-and-cough medicines, vitamins, analgesics, digestive medicine (i.e., anti-acids), and dermatological medicines are the categories that dominate the world's top five OTC market-share. Limited studies in India aimed at evaluating OTC purchasing behaviour in e-pharmacies. Therefore, this study aimed to identify influential E-pharmacy factors that are affecting consumers during OTC products purchase. This study also examined the consumers' intention to purchase OTC products across major cities of Tamil Nadu. A total of 153 responses were collected from e-pharmacy customers through self-administered questionnaires across 4 major cities of Tamil Nadu. E-pharmacy customers who made at least one purchase on the e-pharmacy website were considered for the study. Based on the results, analgesic drugs are the most preferred OTC category in the online purchase mode. The results also demonstrated that post-purchase behaviour aspects like on-time delivery of the product and providing the shift response to solve the queries raised by the e-pharmacy customers play a significant role in enhancing customer satisfaction across e-pharmacy sites.

minimizing negative impacts on the environment and leveraging opportunities to benefit of the
health and well-being of current and future generations. In fact, acupuncture treatment can improve
the health and well-being of the Parkinson’s disease patient with long term cost savings as a
sustainable health care.
Atención centrada en la persona: seguridad del paciente y calidad de atención. Una revisión sistemática
Authors: CARREÑO KAVHAS CASTRO
Published: September 2024

Antecedentes: La atención del paciente a lo largo de la historia ha evolucionado desde un modelo paternalista hacia un modelo de autonomía, lo que ha requerido el estudio y la caracterización de los esquemas de relación médico-paciente. A partir de la publicación del informe “To Err is Human” se han estudiado las dimensiones que deben ser controladas para brindar una atención segura de calidad y la necesidad de introducir al paciente como miembro del equipo asistencial.

Objetivo: Sintetizar la evidencia científica existente acerca del efecto de la atención centrada en la persona sobre la seguridad del paciente y la calidad de la atención sanitaria.

Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una revisión sistemática desde su creación hasta abril de 2023 en 4 bases de datos, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Embase, y Proquest. Se incluyeron artículos publicados en revistas científicas que describieran el efecto de la atención centrada en la persona sobre la seguridad y la calidad de la atención sanitaria.

Resultados: De los 1178 estudios iniciales se seleccionaron 21 artículos. La mayoría de los estudios demostró que la atención centrada en la persona tuvo efectos positivos sobre las áreas de seguridad del paciente (57,1%, n:12). El ámbito más común fueron los hospitales (52,3% N: 11). La calidad de los estudios fue moderada en su mayoría (76%, n:16).

Conclusiones: La atención centrada en la persona ha demostrado efectos positivos estadísticamente significativos sobre la seguridad del paciente, sin embargo, aún hace falta mayor investigación en la seguridad de forma integral y un consenso sobre el concepto de atención centrada en la persona.

Published: September 2024

El crecimiento del sector turístico está relacionado con las oportunidades que la globalización ha generado mediante la apertura comercial, el intercambio de información y comunicación, el avance tecnológico, así como la facilitación de acceso y traslados, la apertura a la inversión extranjera directa e indirecta, las comunicaciones y demás libertades que el mercado neoliberal ha logrado en el mundo occidental. Grandes corporaciones y los propios turistas han logrado llegar a lugares antes vírgenes y territorios recónditos, donde, sin las telecomunicaciones, el desarrollo de infraestructura y las tecnologías, seguiría siendo imposible llegar. De esta manera, el turismo debe entenderse, analizarse y estudiarse desde un enfoque sistémico. Es un fenómeno fronterizo que raya en la línea de flujos migratorios (teóricamente es un flujo migratorio temporal), se involucra con temas de economía internacional (inversión extranjera directa, transnacionales y flujos financieros internacionales), pero también con temas de interés nacional (identidad, tradiciones, territorio y patrimonio).

The idea of God-humanity and its influence on the concept of human freedom and duties to God are examined. Contemporary challenges facing religious organisations are also discussed, including their relevance to young people and internal aspects such as leadership and finances. Particular attention is paid to the concentration of power in the hands of autocratic leaders and its impact on human rights, including the right to religious freedom. The article emphasises the need to critically analise the complex dynamics of the relationship between religion and the state and to find a balance between religious attitudes and the promotion of human rights.
Minorities in Ukraine
Authors: Brhlíková Radoslava
Published: September 2024

The article deals with the position of national minorities in the former union states of the Soviet Union. It deals specifically with the position of national minorities in Ukraine. Based on the analysis and comparison, it examines and describes the position of these minorities society, examines and evaluates the protection of their civil and minority rights. In the context of Ukraine´s effort to become a member of the EU, the article observes how the standards of human and minority rights protection typical of democratic states in Europe are respected by Ukraine, as well as the criteria and requirements for the protection of human (civic) and minority rights by the European Union. The article is based on the premise that the standards and criteria that both the European Union and the Council of Europe place for the protection of minorities do not reach the usual parameters in Ukraine. The political representatives of Ukraine deliberately do not meet these standards, while there is no response to such a situation from the EU.
Correspondência ultrassonográfica, histeroscópica e anatomopatológica de pacientes pós-menopausa com sangramento uterino anormal submetidas à histeroscopia em um hospital universitário
Authors: Filizzola Luíza , Stancioli Paiva Bruna , Saliba Coelho Fernanda , De Sousa Mattos Murta Luísa , Antônio Prata Pace Walter
Published: September 2024

Introdução: O sangramento uterino anormal (SUA) é uma das queixas ginecológicas mais frequentes, com grande impacto na qualidade de vida das mulheres. Ele pode ser de origem estrutural ou não-estrutural e manifestar-se de forma aguda, crônica ou como sangramento intermenstrual. A investigação do SUA é feita pela anamnese, beta HCG para exclusão de gravidez, ultrassonografia transvaginal (USTV) e histeroscopia. O USTV é a escolha inicial na investigação, por ser um exame de baixo custo, fácil acesso, não invasivo e bem tolerado pelas pacientes. Já a histeroscopia é o método de escolha para visualização direta da cavidade uterina. Caso haja alguma anormalidade dentro da cavidade, poderá ser feito um exame anatomopatológico do endométrio, sendo esse padrão-ouro no diagnóstico de patologias endometriais. Objetivo: Estratificar os achados ultrassonográficos e histeroscópicos das pacientes com sangramento uterino anormal pós-menopausa submetidas à histeroscopia, correlacionando-os com os achados anatomopatológicos, analisando a sua prevalência e incidência. Método: Estudo observacional retrospectivo, realizado a partir da análise de prontuários de pacientes submetidas à histeroscopia em um hospital universitário. Resultados: A análise estatística dos dados obtidos permitiu concluir que a patologia mais frequente nas pacientes pós menopausa com SUA são os pólipos endometriais, tanto ao USTV, quanto à histeroscopia e ao anatomopatológico. Além disso, observou-se que há uma grande prevalência de mulheres com espessamento endometrial, portanto não houve alta prevalência de câncer de endométrio, que é uma patologia diretamente associada ao aumento da espessura endometrial. Conclusão: O SUA é uma condição frequente com alto impacto na qualidade de vida das pacientes, além de estar diretamente relacionado com o câncer endometrial. São necessários mais estudos sobre o tema, por ser tão prevalente e existirem poucos estudos com a abordagem realizada nesse estudo.

Authors: Wu Qiong , Wang Tianyi
Published: September 2024

This paper uses the CFPS2020 truncated data to analyze the influence of income gap on the health status of rural residents through the Orderprobit model and the threshold regressive model. The research results show that income gap and non-agricultural employment can significantly promote the health of rural residents and verify that non-agricultural employment can regulate the health of rural residents; the research results further reveal an inverted U-shaped relationship between income gap and health, with different mechanisms on both sides of the critical point: Income gap can significantly promote health on the left side of the critical point, yet its influence on health is opposite on the right side of the critical point. The interaction between income gap and non-agricultural employment can significantly promote health on both sides of the critical point. This paper also considers the multilevel effect of income gap, and the verification results show that income gap has a convergence effect on health; at the same time, the robustness test of the influence of income gap on health reveals that the health of middle/low income groups is most vulnerable to the impact of income gap. Therefore, in order to realize the strategy of Healthy China, we need to attach importance to the inverted U-shaped relationship between income gap and health. Currently, we should concern about not only the health status of low income rural residents but also the health status of middle income rural residents, increase the investment in public health care, and improve the quality of medical services in rural areas through regional medical cooperation and coordinated development, in order to enhance the health level of rural residents.
Research on Urban Rail Transit Recovery Strategies Based on Resilience Theory
Authors: Li Li , Sun Yue
Published: September 2024

To improve the recovery ability of urban rail transit in response to emergencies, a resilience based network recovery model for rail transit is proposed, and recovery strategies under both unweighted and weighted networks are studied. Identify vulnerable stations in the rail transit network by sequentially attacking them and observing changes in network efficiency; Using network efficiency as a performance evaluation indicator, a recovery model with the goal of maximizing resilience is constructed using the "resilience triangle" method to solve the optimal recovery strategy for damaged sites. The identification of vulnerable sites based on the analysis results is related to their location in the network; The optimal recovery order is related to the location of the site in the network and the passenger flow of the site.

Published: September 2024

There has been increasing attention on risk management which had elicited various responses from several regulators and other interest bodies such as the Basel accord, International financial reporting standard and country’s central banks, in which they formulated frameworks for effective management of risks by financial institutions across the world which is expected to improve the performance of such institutions. This study therefore reviewed the effect of the nine risk management variables on the profitability of deposit money banks in Nigeria using Earning Per Share as proxy for profitability and adopting the nine (9) risk management codes of Credit Risk, Market Risk, Liquidity Risk, Operational Risk, Strategic Risk, Solvency Risk. Legal/regulatory/ compliance Risk, Reputational Risk, and Counterparty Risk as independent variables. A sample of 12 banks was adopted from which secondary data covering ten years were extracted and multivariate regression analysis, ordinary least square was used to examine the effect of the risk management variables on earning per shares of the banks. This study found that risk management has a significant positive effect on the profitability of the banks as measured by earnings per share and concludes that paying more attention to the risk management attributes would actually lead to improved performance. Hence, it recommended that executive management of banks and regulators should pay proper attention to risk management as this would eventually lead to improved profitability of the banks.
Parasitic Causes Associated with Diarrhea and Dysentery in Children in Wukari, North East, Nigeria

Parasitic agents associated with diarrhea and dysentery in children constitutes a serious public health challenge globally, especially as the leading cause of death in children (after respiratory diseases). Childhood diarrhea and dysentery affecting children under the ages of between 0-5 accounts for approximately 100% of the global burden. Accurate and timely detection of the aetiology of these diseases is very crucial; but conventional methods, apart from being laborious and time-consuming, often fail to identify difficult-to-culture pathogens. The aetiological agent of an average of up to 40% of cases of diarrhea cannot be identified. Standard bacteriological and parasitological isolation and identification techniques was implored in this study. Parasites identified in this study comprises of Entamoeba histolytica [12], Schistosoma mansoni [10], Ascaris lumbricoides [11] and Gardia lamblia [8]. Entamoeba histolytica 12 (1.9%) is more prevalence when compare to other parasitic agents identified. The percentage of the children with diarrhea and dysentery as a result of the parasitic infection between the ages of (0-1) years old in higher rate (1.8%). The children having the lowest risk are those whose water was filtered (1.4%). Bacteria isolated were Escherichia coli, Salmonella species, and Shigella species with Escherichia coli been the most prevalence. In conclusion, adequate care from parents is highly recommended in other to prevent most of this agent from getting to children. Therefore, proper hygiene from parents through washing of feeding materials, washing of hands and drinking of proper treated water is recommended.

The HIV/AIDS situation in Nigeria has undergone a lot of transformation following a long period that was plagued by superstition and denial. The objective of this appraisal is to provide information on the current HIV situation in Southern Taraba state Northeastern Nigeria and to highlight on the factors that drive the epidemic. This study focuses on determining HIV rifeness in Wukari and environs, Taraba State, North East, Nigeria, given its historical burden and progress. The study, conducted in Wukari Town, Southern Taraba, had 100 (35 Males and 65 Females) individuals aged 11-60 participating. HIV rapid test kit was used for the analysis of blood samples collected from participants using standard serological techniques. The results obtained indicated an overall HIV prevalence of 18%, with females (12%) showing higher rates than males (6%). The age group 21-30 had the highest number of positive cases (5) each, representing 10% for both males and females. Comparisons with previous studies suggest evolving prevalence patterns, raising concerns about potential underdiagnosis. Gender disparities reflect global trends, emphasizing the vulnerability of women, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding age-specific risks is crucial, with the 21-30 age group requiring targeted interventions. The absence of cases in the 51-60 age group prompts an examination of the effectiveness of prevention measures. This study accentuates the dynamic nature of HIV prevalence, advocating for ongoing research to inform tailored interventions and adapt strategies based on evolving demographic landscapes. This research study further re-affirms the need for routine baseline screening for this serological marker, as it is a major consideration in the commencement and choice of highly active anti-retroviral therapy. Hence, the results of the study implies that patients should be encouraged to go for screening and know their status for proper management and take steps to avoid infecting other individuals. Also, for those that are seropositive, early diagnosis and treatment are recommended measures. Finally, there is need for vigorous awareness campaigns on the routes of transmission of these infections and to educate people living in developing regions as to the deadly effect of these infections. Hence, the results obtained from this researched implies that patients should be encouraged to go for screening and know their status for proper management to avoid AIDS conditions and take steps to avoid infecting other individuals. Also, for those that are seropositive, early diagnosis, and treatment with antiviral are the recommended preventive measures.
