BACKGROUND: Homeobox A5 (HOXA5) is a member of the HOX protein family which is involved in several carcinogenesis pathways, and is dysregulated in many cancer types. However, its expression and function in human colorectal cancer (CRC) is still largely unknown. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate HOXA5 expression in Tunisian patients with CRC in order to define new potential biomarker. METHODS: An immunohistochemical labeling using an HOXA5 antibody was performed on 85 formalin fixed paraffin embedded specimens from patients with CRC. Six normal colon mucosa cases were used as controls. RESULTS: HOXA5 expression showed a cytoplasmic staining in both tumor and stromal/endothelial cells. Loss or low HOXA5 expression was seen in tumor cells in 74/85 cases (87.06%) and in stromal/endothelial cells, in 77/85 (90.59%). In control group of normal colon mucosa HOXA5 was moderately expressed in all the cases. The abnormal expression, was significantly associated to lymph nodes metastasis in tumor cells (p= 0.043) and in stromal/endothelial cells (p= 0.024). CONCLUSION: HOXA5 immunostaining results suggest the valuable role of this protein in colorectal carcinogenesis. Moreover, the association of lymph node metastasis to HOXA5 abnormal expression underlies its crucial role in colorectal cancer dissemination and prognosis.

Subsequent use of fuzzy mathematics tools to put forward a quantitative index for the selection of options, which will help analyze the pros and cons of the various options, so as to provide a reliable reference for decision makers. This method makes up for the shortcomings of traditional methods in the process of design factor analysis and program selection.
Linking statistical literacy and data stewardship in Public Universities of Niger: Lessons learned from the collaboration with the national statistics institute
Authors: Zakari Ibrahim Sidi
Published: October 2020

This paper aims at highlighting the lessons learned from recent initiatives between public universities of Niger and the national statistics institute.

Our investigation of the existing national statistical system revealed the need to increase the number of qualified human resources with advanced skills in open data, big data, data visualisation, machine learning, mathematical modeling and data-driven innovations.

Moreover, the existing statistical literacy and data crowdsourcing activities need to be validated and upscaled; and we have found a lack of experience in managing big data and in the development of mathematical methods and fast computational algorithms to analyze them.

Finally, the aforementioned collaboration can be improved by working closely with private sector, civil society and the data science community to generate new approaches to emerging issues including climate change and sustainable development.

In Vivo Cochlear imaging provides a tool to study endolymphatic hydrops
Authors: Badash Ido , Applegate Brian E. , Oghalai John S.
Published: October 2020

Exposure to noise trauma, such as that from improvised explosive devices, can lead to sensorineural hearing loss and a reduced quality of life. In order to elucidate the mechanisms underlying noise-induced hearing loss, we have adapted optical coherence tomography (OCT) for real-time cochlear visualization in live mice after blast exposure. We demonstrated that endolymphatic hydrops develops following blast injury, and that this phenomenon may be associated with glutamate excitotoxicity and cochlear synaptopathy. Additionally, osmotic stabilization of endolymphatic hydrops partially rescues cochlear synapses after blast trauma. OCT is thus a valuable research tool for investigating the mechanisms underlying acoustic trauma and dynamic changes in endolymph volume. It may also help with the diagnosis and treatment of human hearing loss and/or vertigo in the near future.
Automated location of thyroid nodules in ultrasound images with improved YOLOV3 network
Authors: Zhang Ling , Zhuang Yan , Hua Zhan , Han Lin , Li Cheng , Chen Ke , Peng Yulan , Lin Jiangli
Published: October 2020

BACKGROUND:

Thyroid ultrasonography is widely used to diagnose thyroid nodules in clinics. Automatic localization of nodules can promote the development of intelligent thyroid diagnosis and reduce workload of radiologists. However, besides the ultrasound image has low contrast and high noise, the thyroid nodules are diverse in shape and vary greatly in size. Thus, thyroid nodule detection in ultrasound images is still a challenging task.

OBJECTIVE:

This study proposes an automatic detection algorithm to locate nodules in B ultrasound images and Doppler ultrasound images. This method can be used to screen thyroid nodules and provide a basis for subsequent automatic segmentation and intelligent diagnosis.

METHODS:

We develop and optimize an improved YOLOV3 model for detecting thyroid nodules in ultrasound images with B-mode and Doppler mode. Improvements include (1) using the high-resolution network (HRNet) as the basic network for gradually extracting high-level semantic features to reduce the missed detection and misdetection, (2) optimizing the loss function for single target detection like nodules, and (3) obtaining the anchor boxes by clustering the candidate frames of real nodules in the dataset.

RESULTS:

The experimental results of applying to 8000 clinical ultrasound images show that the new method developed and tested in this study can effectively detect thyroid nodules. The method achieves 94.53% mean precision and 95.00% mean recall.

CONCLUTIONS:

The study demonstrates a new automated method that enables to achieve high detection accuracy and effectively locate thyroid nodules in various ultrasound images without any user interaction, which indicates its potential clinical application value for the thyroid nodule screening.
Tracking Pakistan’s Progress Towards Universal Health Coverage: An Empirical Assessment of Summary and Tracer Indicators and Their Associated Inequities (2001-14)
Authors: Khalid Faraz , Sattar Abdul , Brunal Maria Petro , Raza Wajeeha , Hotchkiss David , Hotchkiss David
Published: October 2020

Background: This study’s main objective was to examine the progress of provinces towards UHC using several tracer indicators (six for health service coverage and two for financial protection) from 2001 to 2014 and to assess inequities within provinces due to place of residence and economic status.
Methods: For elaborate tracking, inequities were assessed for each indicator based on average annual rates of change and percentage changes in the gap between sub-population groups. For policy makers, spider radar graphs were generated to demonstrate UHC status in 2014, and a composite UHC index was created to show trends from 2001-14. Four Household Integrated Economic Survey data sets (2001-02, 2004-05, 2010-11, 2013-14), each with a sample size of about 15,000 households, were used for the analysis.
Results: Overall, all four provinces made progress in their UHC index values over the study period. Coverage for most of treatment indicators remained below 70% and inequities existed among sub-population groups. Coverage of financial protection indicators remained above 90% for all the provinces across study duration and no substantial differences were found between and within provinces.
Conclusion:  Simultaneous monitoring of both dimensions of UHC enabled the authors to comment on the holistic picture of UHC status and data blind spots, and to avoid inappropriate interpretations about a single dimension. Higher level of financial protection with limited health services coverage was most likely due to non-utilization of health services and/or unmet health needs. The findings will likely serve as a baseline for tracking progress towards UHC at the sub-national level in the country.

Supramolecular organization as a factor of ribonuclease cytotoxicity
Authors: Dudkina Elena V. , Ulyanova Vera V. , Ilinskaya Olga N.
Published: October 2020

One of the approaches used to eliminate tumor cells is directed destruction/modification of their RNA molecules. In this regard, ribonucleases (RNases) possess a therapeutic potential that remains largely unexplored. It is believed that the biological effects of secreted RNases, namely their antitumor and antiviral properties, derive from their catalytic activity. However, a number of recent studies have challenged the notion that the activity of RNases in the manifestation of selective cytotoxicity towards cancer cells is exclusively an enzymatic one. In this review, we have analyzed available data on the cytotoxic effects of secreted RNases, which are not associated with their catalytic activity, and we have provided evidence that the most important factor in the selective apoptosis-inducing action of RNases is the structural organization of these enzymes, which determines how they interact with cell components. The new idea on the preponderant role of non-catalytic interactions between RNases and cancer cells in the manifestation of selective cytotoxicity will contribute to the development of antitumor RNase-based drugs.
Molecular principles of insect chemoreception

Published: October 2020

Chemoreception, an ability to perceive specific chemical stimuli, is one of the most evolutionarily ancient forms of interaction between living organisms and their environment. Chemoreception systems are found in organisms belonging to all biological kingdoms. In higher multicellular animals, chemoreception (along with photo- and mechanoreception) underlies the functioning of five traditional senses. Insects have developed a peculiar and one of the most sophisticated chemoreception systems, which exploits at least three receptor superfamilies providing perception of smell and taste, as well as chemical communication in these animals. The enormous diversity of physiologically relevant compounds in the environment has given rise to a wide-ranging repertoire of chemoreceptors of various specificities. Thus, in insects, they are represented by several structurally and functionally distinct protein classes and are encoded by hundreds of genes. In the current review, we briefly characterize the insect chemoreception system by describing the main groups of receptors that constitute it and putting emphasis on the peculiar architecture and mechanisms of functioning possessed by these molecules.

Published: October 2020

Nursing handover is an important process in hospital care where information and responsibilities are transferred from one nurse to another to ensure continuity of care and safety of patients. However, evidence of the effectiveness of using standardized nursing handover approaches, particularly in resource-limited countries, is scarce. This study was conducted in order to evaluate the change in handover practice through the “I PASS the BATON” model in a university hospital in Vietnam and identify factors contributing to the effectiveness of this model.

We provided handover training for nurses in the Emergency Department using the “I PASS the BATON” model and evaluated their application right after the course and one month after the course.

The consistency of the handover skill among participating nurses remained high one month after applying the model in the routine care at the hospital. Overall, the mean score achieved after training was high and remained unchanged after one month. However, significant and marginally significant improvement was found in some components one month after the course including the Action and Timing. In contrast, the Next component decreased over time. Evaluation of nurses’ perceptions about the model were assessed using the Health Belief Model which revealed that perceived susceptibility and seriousness were at the moderate level and significantly decreased after one month. In contrast, perceived benefits and barriers were at a high level and remained unchanged after one month.

The “I PASS the BATON” model was effective in improving nurses’ handover skills and practices.

Objetivo: Objetivou-se avaliar a associação entre fatores de risco para doenças cardiovasculares em estudantes de Paranavaí (Brasil) e Cáceres (Espanha), dos 11 aos 16 anos de idade.

Método: Estudo transversal com 402 estudantes. Analisados: sexo, idade, dependência administrativa da escola, estatura, massa, perímetro da cintura, IMC, relação cintura estatura, pressão arterial, comportamento sedentário, nível de atividade física, colesterol, HDL e LDL, triglicerídeos e glicose em jejum. Realizaram-se testes de Qui-quadrado, Odds ratio, Spearman e Regressão de Poisson, com p-valor = 0.05, intervalo de confiança de 95 %.

Resultados: Os estudantes espanhóis eram maioria de 14 a 16 anos e de escolas públicas, enquanto os brasileiros eram maioria de 11 a 13 anos e de escolas privadas. Todos apresentaram prevalência elevada de obesidade geral, sem diferença estatística entre os grupos (G-ESP: 20.2% e 29.6 %; G-BRA: 25.0% e 22.9%, para meninas e meninos). A presença de obesidade abdominal foi maior entre brasileiros (G-ESP: 2.4 % e 13.6 %; G-BRA: 31.1 % e 35.2 %, respectivamente para meninas e meninos). Relevante foi o número de estudantes considerados insuficientemente ativos em ambos os grupos (G-ESP: 36.9 % e 23.5 %; G-BRA: 43.2 % e 39.0 %, para meninas e meninos). Comportamento sedentário foi observado entre as meninas brasileiras (43.4%) e entre os meninos dos dois grupos (G-ESP: 21.5 %; G-BRA: 51.0 %). Foi encontrado alto índice de estudantes com níveis inadequados de triglicerídeos (G-ESP: 15.5 % e 16.0 %; G-BRA: 29.5% e 19.0 %, para meninas e meninos) e HDL (G-ESP: 7.1 % e 6.2 %; G-BRA: 5.3% e 15.2 %, para meninas e meninos). Após análise bruta e ajustada meninas e meninos brasileiros com idade entre 11 e 13 anos (RP=2.091; IC95%: 1.132-3.862) apresentaram maior probabilidade de hipertrigliceridemia.

Conclusões: A presente investigação torna perceptível a necessidade de se intervir nos grupos mais vulneráveis, considerando-se a presença de fatores de risco modificáveis, em contextos diferenciados, sugere que programas objetivando a prevenção de doenças cardiovasculares e obesidade devem começar precocemente, por exemplo, com atividade física regular e dieta saudável.

Ozonoterapia para reducir el dolor lumbar
Authors: Martínez Pizarro Sandra
Published: October 2020

El dolor lumbar es muy frecuente en la población y disminuye la calidad de vida de los pacientes que lo sufren. En los últimos años se ha sugerido la ozonoterapia como tratamiento alternativo debido a su efecto antiinflamatorio y analgésico. Los resultados mostraron que la ozonoterapia es confiable y efectiva para el tratamiento de la hernia de disco lumbar, dolor radicular y dolor de espalda mecánico debido al dolor lumbar.Tras examinar los resultados de los estudios descritos realizados en los últimos años en diversos países se puede comprobar la eficacia y seguridad de la ozonoterapia para reducir el dolor lumbar a corto y largo plazo cuando no funciona el tratamiento conservador, y su poder para retrasar la cirugía. A raíz de estos favorables resultados resulta imprescindible trasmitir esta novedosa terapia a los profesionales sanitarios para que puedan incorporarla en su trabajo diario y así poder ofrecer a los pacientes los mejores tratamientos basados en las últimas evidencias científicas demostradas.

Published: October 2020

La artroscopia de cadera para el atrapamiento femoroacetabular es un procedimiento reciente. Se ha estudiado la etiología, diagnóstico y tratamiento artroscópico del atrapamiento femoroacetabular, no así la rehabilitación postoperatoria. Hemos examinado los estudios de la última década sobre estructura y contenidos de los programas de rehabilitación del atrapamiento femoroacetabular tras artroscopia. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de acuerdo a la declaración PRISMA, las bases de datos seleccionadas fueron Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, Dialnet y Cochrane Library Plus, evaluándose la calidad metodológica de los trabajos mediante la escala de Coleman modificada. Se analizaron los programas de los estudios incluidos, hallándose fases, contenidos y criterios comunes, mostrando escasa evidencia y heterogeneidad metodológica, que no permite estandarizar los protocolos de rehabilitación. En conclusión, con toda la información se ha diseñado un protocolo integral dirigido al paciente para ser aplicado y medir sus resultados en el contexto socioeconómico de la población española.

Authors: Vale Wesley Souza , Costa Armando Henrique , Machado Sergio Carvalho , Maranhão Neto Geraldo Albuquerque , Penna Thaísa Alves , Oliveira Aldair José
Published: October 2020

Objective: To examine the effects of high-intensity interval training on body fat indicators in overweight and obese adults.

Methods: Randomized trials were included in the systematic review. Direct measures (e.g. whole-body fat) and indirect measures (e.g. waist circumference) were examined.

Results: From 1156 articles initially screened, 24 were included. The majority of studies were conducted, at least, for 10 weeks. High-intensity interval training elicited reductions in whole- body fat indicators. The meta-analytic models showed significant differences after high-intensity interval training intervention among body weight, fat mass and fat percentage. On the other hand, body mass index and waist circumference did not present significant results.

Conclusions: High-intensity exercise training can induce body composition improvements in overweight and obese individuals. High-intensity interval training may be a time-efficient component of weight management programs.

Authors: Deneke Yosef , Deb Rajib , Kabir SM Lutful
Published: October 2020

In the present study a comparative evaluation microscopic agglutination test with rLigB protein based latex agglutination test was carried out, which is a cross reacting lipoprotein able to detect acute infection caused by any pathogenic leptospiralserovars. It was employed for serodiagnosis of leptospirosis. The 46 KDa 6X His tagged LigB protein, obtained by IPTG induction of recombinant E. coli M15 cells containing the N-terminal region of LigB gee in PQE30 expression vector, was purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography and adsorbed on latex bead surface for performing latex agglutination test against Leptospirosis suspected wildlife field sera. A total of 80 wildlife sera samples were collec ted, including 27 wild feline sera samples (18 tigers, 8 lions, and 1 jaguar) obtained from Chhatbir zoo, Chandigarh, 42 sera samples (8 tigers, 4 lions and 6 leopards, 2 cheethals, 1 black buck, 12 buffaloes and 9 zoo staff) were received from Jodhpur zoo Rajasthan, 8 sera samples (4 tigers, 3 leopards, 1 lion) from Van Vihar National park, Bohpal, Madhya Pradesh and 3 sera samples (2 lions and 1 tiger) received from Biwani Mini zoo, Haryana, India. The result showed that sera were tested positive by rLigB based LAT, which were reconfirmed using microscopic agglutination test (MAT). The results from LAT were in concordance with MAT. In conclusion, rLigB based LAT is a rapid, pen site, reliable diagnostic tool of high sensitivity and specificity, under laboratory and field conditions, for the detection of Leptospirosis.

Published: October 2020

The present study was to evaluate the reproductive and productive performance (RPP) of Indigenous (n=145) and Nili-Ravi cross-bred (n=55) dairy buffalo in relation to age, parity, body weight and body condition. A total of 200 buffalo cows were randomly selected and interviewed to collect data on reproductive and productive performance of buffalo cows of Rajshahi district by using pre-tested questionnaire during the period from January 2015 to December 2015. The average mean ± SD value of reproductive and productive performances were as age at puberty (AP), age at first calving (AFC), gestation length (GL), post-partum heat period (PPHP), milk yield per day (MYPD), lactation length (LL), birth weight of calf (BWC) and calving interval (CI) were recorded as 25.05±4.00 months, 35.26±4.14 months, 308.28±12.46 days, 84.00±25.95 days, 3.59±0.56 litre, 202.76±33.54 days, 28.79±4.23 kilogram and 461.36±15.41 days, respectively. Nili-Ravi cross-bred buffalo cow had shown better RPP than Indigenous. The genotype of buffalo cows had significant effect (p<0.05) on most of the RPP except AP, AFC and CI. Age of buffalo had also significant effect (p<0.05) on GL, PPHP and BWC and middle age (4 to < 7yrs) observed good RPP. The best RPP were recorded in 2nd parity than others and also significant effect (p<0.05) on GL, MYPD and BWC. Body weight and body condition of buffalo had significant effect (p<0.05) on PPHP, BWC and MYPD. The body weight of >350 kg and very good body condition groups were observed better reproductive performance. It could be concluded that the buffalo owners of these areas do not follow any scientific method of buffalo husbandry; they just follow traditional rearing systems. Very recently, a few farmers started farming of the mostly Indigenous buffalo cows for dairy purpose at Rajshahi region of Bangladesh.

While high income countries (HICs) have reduced the mortality from child injury, it is increasing in the low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, injury registry and reporting are inconsistent and not well developed in the LMICs. This study aims at describing the epidemiology of child injury in a tertiary paediatric surgical centre in Bangladesh. We retrospectively analysed all patients of injury between 0 and 12 years of age admitted in the Department of Paediatric Surgery, Chattogram Medical College Hospital during January 2017 to June 2020. Analysis was done for the hospital prevalence, age and sex distribution, seasonal variations, mechanism of injury, site of involvement, and mortality from injury. There were a total of 538 patients and male to female ratio was 2.01:1. Hospital prevalence was 6.71%. Mean age was 6.60 ± 3.32 years. School age children were affected more (51.7%); and “6-10 years” age group had the highest number injuries (251 patients, 46.65%). The most common mechanisms of injuries were road-traffic accident (RTA, 35.32%), followed by fall (26.39%) and „stab or cut injury‟ (20.63%). Males experienced more abdominal injuries and females had more perineal injuries (P=0.00). RTA was the commonest mechanism in males (37.05%) and falls were the commonest mechanism in females (32.96%). „Stab or cut injury‟ was the commonest mechanism in infants and toddlers, and RTA was commonest among pre-school and school age children. There were no significant seasonal variations (P=0.09). There were 5.76% intentional injuries. Mortality was 2.60% and major causes of mortality were RTA and animal assaults. Injuries were more prevalent during the mid-childhood with an overall increasing trend with age. Mechanism of injury and site of involvement were different among different age groups and between sexes.
