Authors: Ramos-Rincon J-M. , Montoya B. , Simpson G. , Burgos M.
Published: June 2024

OBJECTIVES
To analyze the epidemiological, demographic, clinical, laboratory, radiographic and treatment outcome trends in non-US-born individuals with TB in New Mexico.

DESIGNS
We
retrospectively analyzed TB data from New Mexico TB surveillance system from (1993–2021), comparing variables between non-US-born and US-born individuals.

RESULTS
Of the 1,512 TB cases, 876 (56.5%) were non-US-born and
653 (43.3%) were US-born. The incidence rate among non-US-born patients declined from 15.3/100,000 (1993) to 7.8/100,000 (2021) (54.6% reduction), while among US-born patients it declined from 3.3/100,000 (1993) to 0.5/100,000 (2021) (84.8% reduction). The majority of non-US-born individuals
were from Mexico (n = 482, 73.5%). Non-US-born were typically younger adults (median age: 54 vs. 61), predominantly male (64.8% vs. 59.4%), less likely to consume excess alcohol and have extrapulmonary TB. However, they were more likely to exhibit resistance to standard TB drugs (P
< 0.01). Non-US-born individuals were less likely to die (7.8% vs. 15.4%), but more likely to be lost to follow-up (P < 0.007). Treatment by providers outside the Department of Health was associated with noncompletion (OR 0.18, 95% CI 0.09–0.35; P < 0.001).

CONCLUSION
These results highlight the need for a detailed understanding of the impact of migration on TB epidemiology and the development of tailored interventions to improve treatment outcomes.

Authors: Kiwanuka N. , Quach T. , Kakaire R. , Zalwango S. , Castellanos M. , Sekandi J. , Whalen C.C.
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND
Current metrics for TB transmission include TB notifications, disease mortality, and prevalence surveys. These metrics are helpful to national TB programs to assess the burden of disease, but they do not directly measure incident
infection in the community.

METHODS
To estimate incidence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in Kampala, Uganda, we performed a prospective cohort study between 2014 and 2017 which enrolled of 1,275 adult residents
without signs of tuberculous infection (tuberculin skin test [TST] <5 mm and no signs of TB disease) and followed them for conversion of TST at 1 year.

RESULTS
During follow-up, 194 participants converted the TST and 158 converted
by one year. The incidence density of TST conversion was 13.2 conversions/100 person-year (95% CI 11.6–15.1), which corresponds to an annual cumulative incidence of tuberculous infection of 12.4% (95% CI 10.7–14.3). Cumulative incidence was greater among older participants and
among men. Among participants who reported prior exposure to TB cases, the cumulative risk was highest among those reporting exposure during follow-up.

CONCLUSIONS
The high annual incidence of infection suggests that residents
of Kampala have adequate contact for infection with undetected, infectious cases of TB as they go about their daily lives.

Background and objectives: Although blood transfusion and iron chelation increase the lifespan of thalassemic patients, these patients face many complications, including osteoporosis and osteopenia. Thus, we aimed to determine prevalence rates of osteoporosis/osteopenia using Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry in transfusion-dependent thalassemia patients and its relationship with chelation agents and body mass index. Methods: This retrospective study included 150 patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia in the Thalassemia and Congenital Blood Disorders Center, Sulaimaniyah, Iraq, from December 2021 to July 2022. The participant’s information was collected from the hospital database, including sociodemographic characteristics, bone mineral density status, and the number of items used for chelation. A Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry bone scan was used to check the bone mineral density. Results: The mean age of patients was 19.59±7.59, body mass index was 21.23±18.13, and most (53.3%) were females. Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry results showed that 53.3% of the patients had osteopenia, 21.3% had osteoporosis, 36.7% had average bone mineral density, and 6.7% had low bone mineral density for age. In addition, there was a significant difference between the frequencies of bone density disorders in patients who used one chelating agent (46.4%) versus two chelating agents (85%) (P?0.001). Also, there was a significant difference between the incidence of bone density disorders with low and average body mass index (78%) in comparison with overweight and obese patients (8%) (P?0.001). Conclusions: There is a high prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia in transfusion-dependent thalassemia patients, which are more prone to trauma and bone fracture.

Background and objectives: The most important characters of children are growth and development. There are many causes of short stature. Among causes of short stature celiac disease is the important reversible cause. Celiac disease can be diagnosed serologically or/and duodenal biopsy according to the level of serological tests or/and symptoms. The main objective of the study was to find the relation between having high tissue transglutaminase antibody and short stature Methods: This is a cross sectional study. From March 2021 to March 2022, consecutive sampling from of 79 children who presented to Helina center in Erbil city and Hawler teaching hospital (department of endocrinology) complaining to have short stature and recorded as short child. Tissue transglutaminase antibody were sent for all patients, and duodenal biopsy for selected cases were done. Result: Seventy-nine children with short stature were included in the study. Their mean age (SD) was 8.3 (3.3) years. The median was 8 years, and the age range was 1.1-16 years. More than half (54.4%) of the sample were aged 5-9 years, and 42 patients (53.2%) were females. The prevalence of celiac disease among children with short stature in our study was 13.9%, which is statistically is significant. The majority (69.6%) of the children had severe short stature (less than -2 Z score), and the rest had acceptable Z score. Conclusion: In conclusion, celiac disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patient who presents with short stature as it is not uncommon in our community. Sending for non-invasive investigations for diagnosing celiac disease is easier and simpler than other invasive procedures.

A puberdade precoce é definida pelo aparecimento das características sexuais e menarca antes do tempo, que é acompanhada da baixa estatura e pelo fechamento antecipado das epífises ósseas. Essa condição se torna prevalente em pessoas com síndrome de Down, que apresentam vulnerabilidade social, e déficit intelectual, necessitando uma abordagem individualizada. O tratamento no tempo correto pode trazer benefícios com uso de análogos de GnRH no retardo do fechamento das epífises e métodos contraceptivos, para evitar gravidez indesejada e auxílio na higiene menstrual, tendo conhecimento que alguns métodos possuem efeito na diminuição do fluxo. Esta revisão tem como objetivo abordar e compreender o manejo da puberdade precoce, baixa estatura e anticoncepção em paciente com Síndrome de Down. Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura, com enfoque exploratório e descritivo de abordagem qualitativa e procedimento bibliográfico retrospectivo. Dessa forma, salienta-se a importância de procurar auxílio médico em casos de puberdade precoce, uma vez que a demora pode acarretar atraso no diagnóstico, levando a baixa estatura final, menarca precoce e possível gestação indesejada.

Schools such as SDIT (Integrated Islamic Elementary School), MI (Madrasah Ibtidaiyah), SMPIT (Integrated Islamic Junior High School), MTs (Madrasah Tsanawiyah), SMAIT (Integrated Islamic High School), MA (Madrasah Aliyah) are schools with a higher percentage of religious studies compared to other public or private schools. One of the religious lessons in the Islamic school is Arabic. Of course, it is not easy to learn Arabic because Arabic is not a daily language used in Indonesia either at school or at home. Arabic is like any other language that has vocabulary, substitutes, basic word changes and others. When they are in middle school or equivalent to junior high school and MTS, students have begun to learn the science of shorof and dhomir (substitute words). This causes students to learn more Arabic in various media, one of which is learning through the website. The purpose of creating this website is as an alternative for students in learning shorof. The development of this website uses the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) method using the HTML programming language. With this website, students can learn shorof with more enthusiasm.

Median arcuate ligament syndrome or Dunbar's Syndrome is a rare pathology, not very prevalent in the population, whose non-specific symptoms contribute to diagnostic difficulty, presenting markedly intense abdominal pain and attributing disability to the affected individuals. Together, postprandial abdominal pain, weight loss and abdominal murmur characterize the symptomatological triad. Contrast-enhanced imaging methods are the best choice for identifying the pathology, especially angiography. To treat this disease, Dunbar suggested surgery in 1965 and to this day it remains the best method of resolving the problem, whether by open or laparoscopic means.

Published: June 2024

Ferrites, with formula MFe12O19, where M is one of the elements Ba, Sr or Pb, have the crystal structure of magnetoplumbite. One of the most industrially used magnetic materials is barium ferrite (BaFe12O19), with properties such as: high resistivity, high coercivity, relatively low magnetic saturation, etc. In this work, the synthesis of barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19) was carried out from a baryte mineral (BaSO4) and ≥98% nanohydrated iron nitrate (Fe(NO3)3*9H2O), in a temperature range of 220-250°C. Characterization was carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD) to determine the crystalline phases present and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to observe the microstructure and particle size of the barium ferrite.

Published: June 2024

Leishmaniasis is a tropical disease categorized as neglected due to its impact on populations with limited access to resources. It is caused by various species of the parasite Leishmania, belonging to the Trypanosomatidae family within the order Kinetoplastida, and transmitted by sandflies (Phlebotomine sandflies) during the female's blood meal. Several mammal species, which often coexist closely with humans, serve as biological reservoirs. Leishmaniasis manifests in different forms, including cutaneous (CL), diffuse (DCL), mucocutaneous (MCL), visceral (VL), post-kala-azar dermal (PKDL), and mucosal (ML). In this context, our objective is to provide updated information to facilitate access to data for various specialists dealing with this parasitic disease. Simultaneously, we aim to contribute to public education, particularly among populations facing precarious living conditions and challenges in accessing healthcare services in endemic areas. A total of 135 articles on Leishmania were reviewed, sourced from 95 journals. This endeavor serves as a means to identify potential risks and formulate strategies for preventing and mitigating the consequences of leishmaniasis.

The theme of spirituality as an object of study and as a component of human life was recognized as relevant to health, be it physical and/or mental. Even though it is a relevant topic, there is a gap in the knowledge of the spirituality of psychology professionals in Brazil and its impact on research and clinical practice. This research aims to analyze the scientific productions about psychology and its relationship with the themes of spirituality. This is a qualitative research through the integrative literature review, the search was carried out on the Portal of Periodicals (CAPES) and the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) using the descriptors spirituality, psychology and psychological practices, where 9 works were selected, including theses and dissertations, published between the periods of 2012 to 2020. The results were classified according to: objective, methodology and results. Three themes were identified: religiosity and spirituality; professional training and clinical practice. Of the works analyzed, there were 3 theses and 6 dissertations and in relation to the methodology, the two quantitative researches present surveys carried out with psychologists, two works were conducted within specific theoretical approaches: Brazilian gestalt-therapists and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Qualitative research was carried out through interviews with 24 clinical psychologists and 2 students in the process of training. Two studies were integrative reviews and one literature review of national and international articles and TCCs. Regarding the objectives of the research analyzed, the general objectives are related to religiosity and spirituality in the context of clinical practices. The understanding of the concepts of religiosity, spirituality and psychology is the focus of 04 works. The theoretical currents that underlie the research are linked to the objectives of three works, being respectively Gestalt, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Logotherapy/existential psychology, and Analytical Psychology. Psychologists' personal perspective on the topic and its repercussions are addressed in a thesis, while the patients' perspective is explored in a dissertation. It is concluded that it is essential for psychology professionals to take an individualized approach when dealing with spiritual issues. Everyone has their own beliefs and values in this regard, and it is important to respect and consider them during the therapeutic process.

A dengue é uma doença viral que faz parte de um grupo denominado arboviroses. O vírus da dengue (DENV) é transmitido pelo vetor artrópode Aedes Aegypti prevalente no Brasil. As doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT´s) apresentam uma etiologia diversificada de origem não infecciosa com extensos períodos de latência, podendo adoecer e/ou incapacitar as funções do indivíduo portador para as atividades diárias da vida. A literatura tem debatido, ainda de forma inconclusiva, sobre a associação do agravamento dos indivíduos com dengue a pessoas com doenças crônicas pré-existentes, em destaque o diabetes mellitus e a obesidade. Para tanto, o objetivo deste capítulo de livro será analisar uma possível associação entre as DCNT´s e as complicações da dengue, por meio de uma revisão da literatura. Os principais achados demonstram que a Diabetes Mellitus (DM) e a obesidade são as comorbidades mais intimamente associadas às complicações da dengue. Ambas de atuação metabólica, causam complicações micro e macrovasculares, maior expressão de citocinas pró-inflamatórias, maior estresse oxidativo celular, com potencial de elevar o quadro clínico e sintomas dos pacientes classificados nos grupos A e B da dengue e/ou prolongar o tempo de hospitalização, daqueles dos grupos C e D, infectados pelo DENV. Em conclusão, constatou-se uma forte relação da dengue com a piora do quadro clínico de pacientes portadores de DM e obesidade, como doenças de base. No entanto, ressalta-se que este é um estudo de revisão da literatura, revisão sistemática com metanálise serão realizados, para inferir melhor essa hipótese, principalmente em países emergentes, subtropicais e endêmicos do DENV.

Objective: To identify in the literature factors that influence the mortality of critically ill burn patients. Method: This is an integrative literature review. To create the guiding question, the PICo strategy was used, in which the population was established as "burn patient", interest in "factors associated with mortality" and as context "critical condition", formulating the following research question: What are the factors that influence the mortality of critically ill burn victims? The search was conducted in two selected databases: Virtual Health Library and PubMed, from August to October 2023. As this is an integrative review, the study does not require approval by the research ethics committee. Results: A total of 3077 scientific studies were identified in the initial search of the selected databases. After applying the selection criteria, 17 studies remained to compose the final sample. Among the findings, the main factors that influenced mortality were advanced age, greater burned surface area and body depth, presence of smoke inhalation, thermal burn due to direct flames, comorbidities, especially cardiovascular and renal diseases, and hypoalbuminemia. Conclusion: it was possible to identify that the main factors that influence the mortality of burn patients who are in serious condition, described in the literature are: advanced age, extent of the burned area, smoke inhalation, comorbidities and low amount of albumin in the body. It is important to know these factors in order to be able to offer comprehensive care and minimize risks in order to reduce deaths caused by the event.

The idea of Indonesia as a Global Maritime Axis must be built through a strong and implementable conception in international political economy. This conception can serve as the direction, fundamental principles, and shared paradigm for all stakeholders to position Indonesia as a core country and the center of the world's maritime economic gravity. Updating Indonesia's map can be one of the steps to realize Indonesia's vision of becoming a global maritime axis. This map update is the first step for implementing the strategic programs of Indonesia's Maritime Policy regarding Defense, Security, Law Enforcement, and Safety at sea. It is a fact that the Earth's surface, estimated to cover 510 million square kilometers, consists of almost 2/3 (around 70%) ocean areas. Only 1/3 of it is land areas. As for Indonesia's sea area itself, it constitutes more than 3/4 of the national territory, connecting one island to another. The ASEAN Free Trade Agreement as an ASEAN economic integration takes into account the strategic location and geography of ASEAN countries which have many economic resources that are not utilized by ASEAN countries.

Biodiesel adalah bahan bakar alternatif yang potensial untuk menggantikan solar karena bahan bakunya terbarukan dan ramah lingkungan. Minyak goreng bekas dapat digunakan sebagai bahan baku biodiesel, namun kadar asam lemak bebas yang tinggi memerlukan pretreatment esterifikasi sebelum transesterifikasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh variasi waktu reaksi (60, 70, 80, 90, 100 menit) terhadap angka setana biodiesel yang diproduksi pada suhu 60°C dan putaran 1050 rpm. Proses esterifikasi dan transesterifikasi menggunakan katalis NaOH 0,5% dan metanol dengan rasio 1:2, dicampur dengan minyak goreng limbah. Setelah transesterifikasi, campuran diendapkan selama 20 menit, kemudian biodiesel dipisahkan dan dicuci dengan aquades pada suhu 50°C serta diuapkan pada suhu 90-100°C. Hasil uji angka setana menunjukkan nilai sebagai berikut: 60 menit (44,54), 70 menit (44,54), 80 menit (44,54), 90 menit (44,47), dan 100 menit (44,60). Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa angka setana biodiesel yang dihasilkan belum memenuhi standar mutu biodiesel dan belum layak digunakan oleh ESDM.
