Penetrating Abdominal Trauma Index in Prediction of Postoperative Morbidity and Mortality
Authors: Alamiri Majeed , Ismail Mustafa M.
Published: August 2024

Background:

Penetrating abdominal trauma is a major health problem worldwide, and in Iraq, it constitutes a main job in the trauma field for general surgeons working across the country. Factors affecting the postoperative complication are well established. Moore found in 1981 that penetrating abdominal trauma score is considered an independent factor for postoperative mortality.

Objective:

The study aimed to evaluate patient outcomes in Al-Yarmuk Teaching Hospital regarding postoperative morbidity and mortality using the penetrating abdominal trauma index (PATI) score.

Patients and Methods:

A cross-sectional study was done for 1 year from April 2022 to April 2023 at Al-Yarmouk Teaching Hospital; 96 patients were admitted to the theater for explorative laparotomy after having the appropriate initial management at the emergency department were included in the study; and intraoperative findings were obtained and tabulated. Basic statistical analysis to compare means and Chi-square test for P value of complicated, noncomplicated, and mortality cases were used.

Results:

Patients who died scored a PATI mean of 27.16, while those who were complicated in general were 23.52, and the uncomplicated cases had a mean PATI of 10.48.

Conclusion:

Increasing the PATI score will increase the postoperative complications that can lead to death. This makes the PATI score >25 a risk factor for morbidity and mortality in penetrating abdominal trauma.

Background:

On March 2020, the World Health Organization announced that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a pandemic. In Iraq, since the start of applying the national COVID-19 vaccine campaign, many people refused to take the COVID-19 vaccine for various reasons, which has led to the further spread of the disease and the pandemic.

Objectives:

To determine some factors for refusing COVID-19 vaccination and the beliefs about the COVID-19 vaccine among Iraqi people in Anbar Province, Iraq.

Subjects and Methods:

A household-based cross-sectional study and a face-to-face interview were done on 814 participants who were involved in the survey. A convenient sample approach was followed in this study to recruit participants from 11 different areas in the entral, southern, and northern of Anbar Province, Iraq, including urban and rural regions. A questionnaire form was applied to participants enrolled in the study, and the principal researcher carried out a written interview by face-to-face with the participant. An analysis of data carried out using cross-tabulated chi square test to identify variables associated with vaccine acceptance, in addition to descriptive statistics.

Results:

A majority (71.7%) of the population did not take any type of COVID-19 vaccine; among those who took the COVID-19 vaccine, 58.4% took only one dose of vaccination. Among people who did not take any type of vaccine, a high percentage of 72.1% said that they did not trust it. Others (14.3%) did not take it because their friends and relatives did not take it. A significant difference (P = 0.001) was found regarding the characteristics of those who took the vaccine and those who did not take it, including age, gender, occupation, place of residence, education level, and having had COVID-19.

Conclusion:

A high prevalence of COVID-19 vaccine refusal was found in places in Anbar Governorate based on rumors, media communication, and behavioral attitudes needs many efforts from health workers in primary health-care centers and other health staff in other health institutions to increase people’s knowledge about the vaccine to lessen COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy.

The Value of Red Cell Distribution Width and Its Correlation with Other Parameters in Ovarian Cancer
Authors: Ali Aliaa Hussein , Naji Alaadin Sahham
Published: August 2024

Background:

The red cell distribution width (RDW) is a measure of the range of variation in the red blood cell size. It reflects red blood cell volume heterogeneity and is a part of the whole blood cell count. The use of the RDW in the diagnosis of malignant tumors has recently attracted much attention. Related research has mainly focused on endometrial cancer, lung cancer, and liver cancer.

Aim of the Study:

This study investigated the correlation between the RDW and ovarian cancer by observing changes in the RDW in patients with different stages of ovarian cancer.

Patients and Methods:

A case–control study involving 50 females with ovarian cancer and 50 healthy females conducted at Baghdad Oncology Teaching Hospital, and Al-Imamian Al-Kadhimiyain Medical City from January 1, 2022, to December 30, 2022. Data collection included demographic data, complete blood count with the calculation of platelets to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), transferrin saturation, and cancer antigen 125 (CA-125). Adult females with histologically proven ovarian cancer were included in this research. Patients with conditions that affect red blood cells were excluded from the study.

Results:

The mean age was 52.6 ± 10.4 years old for the cases and 50.0 ± 11.4 years for the control group. Platelets count (PLT), absolute neutrophil count (ANC), PLR, NLR, RDW, and CA-125 were significantly higher in the women with ovarian cancer in comparison to the control group (P < 0.001). RDW values were found to be positively correlated with white blood cell, PLT, ANC, NLR, PLR, and CA-125 values (P < 0.001). RDW values were also positively associated with cancer stage; thus, higher values of RDW are to be expected with a higher stage of cancer (P < 0.001). The optimal cutoff point for RDW was found to be 14.6% with a sensitivity of 92%, specificity of 90%, and an area under the curve of 96%.

Conclusion:

The RDW is increased with ovarian cancer, and a clear cutoff point for the prediction of ovarian cancer has been observed. Furthermore, RDW was positively correlated with cancer stage and inflammatory markers including PLT, ANC, PLR, NLR, and a tumor marker CA-125.

Team players in the pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunctions-associated steatotic liver disease: The basis of development of pharmacotherapy
Authors: Habib Shahid
Published: August 2024

Nutrient metabolism is regulated by several factors. Social determinants of health with or without genetics are the primary regulator of metabolism, and an unhealthy lifestyle affects all modulators and mediators, leading to the adaptation and finally to the exhaustion of cellular functions. Hepatic steatosis is defined by presence of fat in more than 5% of hepatocytes. In hepatocytes, fat is stored as triglycerides in lipid droplet. Hepatic steatosis results from a combination of multiple intracellular processes. In a healthy individual nutrient metabolism is regulated at several steps. It ranges from the selection of nutrients in a grocery store to the last step of consumption of ATP as an energy or as a building block of a cell as structural component. Several hormones, peptides, and genes have been described that participate in nutrient metabolism. Several enzymes participate in each nutrient metabolism as described above from ingestion to generation of ATP. As of now several publications have revealed very intricate regulation of nutrient metabolism, where most of the regulatory factors are tied to each other bidirectionally, making it difficult to comprehend chronological sequence of events. Insulin hormone is the primary regulator of all nutrients’ metabolism both in prandial and fasting states. Insulin exerts its effects directly and indirectly on enzymes involved in the three main cellular function processes; metabolic, inflammation and repair, and cell growth and regeneration. Final regulators that control the enzymatic functions through stimulation or suppression of a cell are nuclear receptors in especially farnesoid X receptor and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor/RXR ligands, adiponectin, leptin, and adiponutrin. Insulin hormone has direct effect on these final modulators. Whereas blood glucose level, serum lipids, incretin hormones, bile acids in conjunction with microbiota are intermediary modulators which are controlled by lifestyle. The purpose of this review is to overview the key players in the pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) that help us understand the disease natural course, risk stratification, role of lifestyle and pharmacotherapy in each individual patient with MASLD to achieve personalized care and target the practice of precision medicine. PubMed and Google Scholar databases were used to identify publication related to metabolism of carbohydrate and fat in states of health and disease states; MASLD, cardiovascular disease and cancer. More than 1000 publications including original research and review papers were reviewed.

Published: August 2024

Foodborne outbreaks have been associated with tree nuts and nut-related products that include a soaking step. A content analysis of consumer-shared recipes for soaking tree nuts and subsequently preparing nut-based dairy analogs was conducted to explore consumer handling practices and evaluate available food safety information. A keyword search was performed on YouTube and Google for videos and blogs, respectively. Recipes (n = 505) were coded for general characteristics, handling practices, and food safety messages. Of the 465 recipes that included a soaking step, 76% (353) included soaking for >8 h or overnight, and 17% (79) soaked at room temperature or warmer. Among the 66 recipes that included dried soaked nuts, 22 (33%) specified drying below 65°C (150°F). In recipes that included a fermentation step (212), commercial probiotics (63%; 133) were the most common starter culture, and the most frequently cited (14%; 30) temperature and time combination was 20 to 35°C (68 to 95°F) for 24 to 48 h. Of all the analyzed recipes, 49% (99) of videos and 30% (84) of blogs lacked food safety messages. These findings will aid development of science-based validation studies and educational materials for consumers and content creators for safe preparation of homemade soaked tree nut products.

With information technology, people can interact with each other almost without national or regional boundaries. This increases mobility. It is hoped that these various conveniences will improve the welfare and progress of Indonesian society. Due to the rapid and limitless progress of technology and information, the behavior of society and human civilization will certainly change throughout the world. This also causes the emergence of online fraud. People who use the internet for business and trade purposes so that they no longer rely on real business operations commit online fraud. Investment is one of the online frauds. Investment offer sites offer high interest profits, etc. Online fraud must meet all criminal requirements and be able to prove that it was done in a conscious state. To determine who is responsible for the crime of online fraud, special penalties must be applied. This is because law enforcement must understand the breadth of evidence sources to avoid misinterpretation and ensure that everyone understands the power of proof in the same way.
To draw or not to draw? Evaluating the impact of computer-aided drawing tools on productivity in architectural design
Authors: Mohammedi Khawla , Arrouf Abdelmalek
Published: August 2024

This empirical study investigates the architectural design process, focusing on the influence of computer-aided drawing (CAD) tools during the initial design stages. Given the increasing reliance on CAD tools in contemporary architectural practice, the primary objective is to assess quantitatively how CAD tool adoption affects design productivity. The research was conducted in two phases, utilizing the protocol analysis method. In the first phase, we introduced a novel approach by having third-year architecture students complete two design assignments: the first using traditional freehand sketches and the second employing CAD tools. This unique method allowed us to capture their design actions and thoughts using the Concurrent verbalization technique. In the second phase, a meticulous comparison of the two sets of design protocols was undertaken. The analysis yielded surprising and counterintuitive results. Contrary to common beliefs, the use of CAD tools during early design phases can lead to unintended outcomes. Despite their digital precision and convenience, these tools may inadvertently impede cognitive productivity. Designers employing CAD tools showed signs of hesitation and indecision, resulting in prolonged design timelines and diminished ideational productivity. These findings have profound implications for architectural education and practice. They underscore the necessity for a balanced approach to integrating CAD tools into design processes. Educators and professionals must carefully consider the potential impact of these tools on the creative process, prompting a reassessment of their role in architectural design curricula and workflows. Future research holds great promise in exploring strategies to optimize CAD tool usage to mitigate their disruptive effects on early-stage architectural design. Additionally, investigating the role of training and interface design in enhancing the synergy between designers and digital tools offers exciting and fruitful research directions. In summary, this study highlights the complex relationship between CAD tools and cognitive productivity in architectural design, prompting a reexamination of their role in shaping the design landscape.

Os déficits protetivos do Paradigma Social das Pessoas com Deficiência: Rumo à emergência do modelo de Direitos Humanos
Authors: Spinieli André Luiz Pereira
Published: August 2024

No ano de 2007, a entrada em vigor da Convenção Internacional sobre os Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência teve como função primordial reverter o quadro de violências históricas sofridas por esses sujeitos, tendo como pressuposto o reconhecimento de um amplo conjunto de direitos humanos. Esse documento legitimou a ideia do paradigma social de deficiência, segundo o qual é preciso observar não a deficiência em si, mas os níveis de acessibilidade e inclusão social dos espaços onde as pessoas com deficiência estão inseridas. No entanto, os estudos sobre deficiência têm demonstrado a existência de déficits em relação ao paradigma social. Neste trabalho, objetivamos analisar as críticas apresentadas pelos teóricos da deficiência em relação ao modelo social. Além disso, buscaremos apresentar o paradigma de direitos humanos, estruturado por Theresia Degener, como resposta a tais insuficiências. Metodologicamente, o artigo se fundamenta na pesquisa descritiva documental, em que o desenvolvimento é realizado de acordo com a literatura sobre paradigmas de enfrentamento da deficiência. Embora o paradigma social constitua a base contemporânea dos direitos humanos dessa população, há dificuldades em articulá-lo adequadamente frente à realidade vivencia por esses sujeitos, o que exige a emergência de um novo paradigma, associado às construções teóricas e práticas da cidadania.
Uso do plasma rico em plaquetas no tratamento da reação inflamatória uterina de jumentas inseminadas com sêmen asinino criopreservado
Authors:   , Freitas Marcela Souza e
Published: August 2024

Os asininos (Equus asinus) são animais rústicos e resistentes, muito utilizados como animais de carga, para atividades agropecuárias e tração. Há uma elevada demanda por estudos acerca desta espécie, dada sua importância social, seu uso na produção de muares e pelo déficit demográfico enfrentado por sua população, havendo risco de extinção de algumas raças em nível mundial. Visando a conservação genética de espécies em risco de extinção e o melhoramento genético de animais de produção, a criopreservação seminal tem sido aplicada extensivamente em programas de reprodução assistida. No entanto, o uso do sêmen congelado de machos asininos consiste em um entrave à conservação e melhoramento desta espécie, pois apesar de apresentar alta qualidade após o descongelamento e resultados satisfatórios de fertilidade em éguas, o uso desta biotécnica produz índices insatisfatórios em jumentas. Tais resultados podem estar relacionados com a interação entre o sêmen e o ambiente uterino, apresentando diferenças na resposta imunológica uterina entre as duas espécies. Desta forma, é importante a compreensão dos mecanismos do processo inflamatório uterino das jumentas e a avaliação de tratamentos pré e pós inseminação artificial, que podem modular esse processo, com o intuito de alcançar melhores taxas reprodutivas nessas fêmeas. O estudo 1 tem como objetivo comparar sete protocolos manuais para a preparação do plasma rico em plaquetas (PRP) na espécie asinina. O estudo 2 tem como objetivo avaliar o efeito do tratamento local do PRP na reação inflamatória uterina e fertilidade de fêmeas asininas inseminadas com sêmen criopreservado de asininos.

This article discusses methods of increasing students’ involvement/participation in the process of teaching mathematics and training students in solving non-standard problems. We are focused on the impact of engaging students with technology tools on students' academic performance and solving non-standard problems. Currently, the lack of interest of students in mathematics lessons is one of the main problems of pedagogical researchers. While writing this article and comparing the results of several works, we have SDU Bulletin: Pedagogy and Teaching Methods 2022/1 (58) 23 identified that the ability to solve non-standard problems often remains “ignored” during training. We have already considered these two areas and we are proposing solutions to these issues in this article. After analyzing various literature of recent years, research work from different countries and studying the impact of technological tools in teaching, we have found that incorporating technology for student engagement have a positive impact on students ' academic performance.
