Implementation of RESTful Web Service on Indonesian’s Integrated Breastfeeding Donor Information System
Authors: Badieah Badieah , Mujib Ahmad , Madrah Muna Yastuti , Riansyah Andi , Syaifuddin Nur Muhammad
Published: June 2022

The golden period is a term used to describe the importance of the first 1000 days of human life. Nutritional intake in children at this time becomes very important because malnutrition in this period will cause disturbances in child development. To prevent this risk, the intake of breast milk is necessary for babies at least in the first 6 months of life. However, there are many internal and external factors that can affect a baby not being able to receive it. One solution that commonly used to share breast milk amongst mothers. A mother can share breast milk directly through personal relations or through human milk bank agencies. The implication of the problem of sharing human milk in Muslim societies is the occurrence of kinship relationship between the child and his milk mother that change the status of mahram and the prohibition of marriage between breast milk children and biological children of the donor because the two children's status changed to breast milk siblings. Referring to these conditions, we designed an integrated information system prototype by integrating breast milk donor data obtained from human milk banks throughout Indonesia. Interoperability problems during data integration process are overcome by implementing a RESTful API as a web service. The output of this information system is the issuance of milk-kinship certificates given to donors and recipients as evidence of donors as well as become a token that there is a mahram bond between donors and recipients. A milk-kinship certificate can prevent marriage between milk-kinship siblings, especially in Muslim communities.

Authors: Suardinata Suardinata , Rusmi Rusdisal , Lubis Muhammad Amrin
Published: June 2022

Dijkstra's algorithm is commonly used to determine the shortest route connecting a point as a starting node to another which acts as the end node. In this study, the UNP student dormitory acted as the starting node, while the library which is frequently visited by students was sampled from the campus as the end node. Due to the fact that students generally live around campus and move on foot, an alternative route is needed to determine the fastest travel time. Therefore, this study aims to determine the route with the fastest travel time from the start to the end of nodes using the Dijkstra algorithm, in comparison with the route displayed by Google Map. Data were obtained from Google Map, which showed the availability of many routes with the possibility of students taking the fastest travel time. The result showed that the fastest route using the Dijkstra algorithm and Google Map were 14 and 3 alternatives at 15 and 21 minutes intervals. Based on these data, it is concluded that the travel time through the fastest route obtained using the Dijkstra algorithm was 6 minutes faster than data found in the Google Map.

Manejo agroecológico de suelos agrícolas
Authors: Martínez Reyes Enrique , Hernández Rodríguez Marcelino , Naranjo Valdés Medardo
Published: June 2022

La agricultura ha desempeñado siempre un papel importante en las actividades del hombre. El rendimiento de los cultivos depende fundamentalmente del estado físico y químico de los suelos. Sin embargo, las prácticas convencionales y repetitivas, que de manera indiscriminada se realizan, han provocado su degradación. Frente a este problema, este libro plantea la agroecología como una herramienta idónea para el manejo del suelo. La agroecología es un método que concibe el suelo como un sistema complejo y con vida, capaz de poner freno a la degradación y mantener sus condiciones en ambientes inestables. Es una visión integral de la producción, que emplea prácticas de protección y mejoramiento con la finalidad de mantener o mejorar la fertilidad del suelo y evitar su deterioro.

Authors: Khanna Shweta , Khanna Sachin , Monis Mohd , Ibbrahim Aiman
Published: June 2022

Accessory and cavitated uterine mass (ACUM) is a rare developmental uterine anomaly that is said to develop due to duplication of ductal Mullerian tissue. It is an accessory cavity lying along the lateral wall of the uterus near the site of attachment of the round ligament and presents in young females with pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea. Histologically, the cavity is lined with endometrium and smooth muscle bundles similar to the myometrium. Ultrasound is helpful in the identification of the lesion. MRI of the pelvis is the imaging modality of choice for diagnosis. Laparoscopy and histopathology remain confirmatory. This report describes a case of ACUM in a young female who was managed by surgical excision of the mass.

Desde fevereiro de 2020, o Brasil vem sofrendo com a pandemia ocasionada pela COVID-19. Por se tratar de uma doença nova, são necessários novos estudos e análises para compreender e lidar melhor com tal problemática. Apesar do Coronavírus ter a manifestação semelhante a um processo gripal, possui uma disseminação intensa, revelando-se de forma grave na maioria dos idosos, tendo prognóstico negativo diante de indivíduos senis portadores de doenças crônicas. Em um país com extensas dimensões territoriais como o Brasil, a apresentação desse patógeno pode se dar de forma diferente a depender da idade, da presença de comorbidades e das condições sanitárias da população, constituindo doença de relevante interesse científico, em razão de não haver terapia curativa, tampouco cobertura vacinal. A partir da percepção de como os casos graves atingem os idosos, surgiu a necessidade de entender: quais as características epidemiológicas, patogênicas e possíveis tratamentos para casos da COVID-19 entre pacientes idosos? Nesse sentido, foi conduzido estudo epidemiológico, descritivo, retrospectivo, bibliográfico, objetivando analisar o comportamento e as repercussões desse microrganismo no âmbito dos indivíduos com mais de 60 anos e, para esse efeito, impende destacar que foi realizada incursão teórica em publicações de regência publicadas a partir de 2019 sobre a temática. Concluindo-se, diante da população senil, que a COVID-19 tem manifestações fisiopatológicas similares às de países já afetados e que o manejo dessa condição tem sido internalizado no Brasil, a exemplo de outros países, com o uso de antivirais combinados, fármacos trombolíticos, antiinflamatórios e ventilação mecânica com pressão positiva.
Noción, religación, trascendencia: o coñecemento de Deus en Amor Ruibal e Xavier Zubiri
Authors: Torres Queiruga Andrés
Published: June 2022

Estamos ante un libro de grande envergadura. Un libro no que o seu autor, Andrés Torres Queiruga, trata de se meter pola selva inextricable de dous filósofos importantes. Por un lado, Amor Ruibal. Polo outro, Xavier Zubiri. Mais o propósito de Queiruga non é o de dar paseatas máis ou menos eruditas a través dos eidos, decote difíciles, de sistemas de pensamento complexos −aínda que clarísimos− e esixentes −aínda que acolledores. O móbil do noso autor non é outro que o de pescudar nas analoxías e nas diferenzas que aproximan, e afastan, os dous filósofos na pescuda do coñecemento de Deus. É posible tal coñecemento? E se o é, gardan algunha relación as profundizacións do pensador galego coas do pensador vasco? Hai no primeiro, por ventura, algunha prioridade conceptual, algún albiscar, algunha facilitación do vieiro que, máis tarde, tería de percorrer o segundo meditador? E, en última instancia, en que consiste o furar do un e do outro verbo do misterio –“doroso misterio”− da posibilidade de atoutiñar a faciana divina, a súa dinámica, e os seus inquietantes límites?
Cartas a Murguía I
Authors:   Fundación Barrié
Published: June 2022

O epistolario de Murguía que custodia a Real Academia Galega, composto por algo máis de mil quiñentas cartas, supón unha radiografía da vida cultural e intelectual da sociedade galega do século XIX. A través das súas páxinas teremos ocasión de asistir á xestación dalgúns dos proxectos culturais que máis solidamente contribuíron á creación dunha conciencia galeguista ao longo da segunda metade do século pasado. Precisan as cartas non poucos datos biográficos de Murguía, ademais de perfilar o seu talante liberal e democrático, sempre ao servizo da idea de Galicia. Este primeiro volume do epistolario abrangue as cartas recibidas por Murguía desde 1855 a 1867 onde o Diccionario de escritores gallegos e a Historia de Galicia ocupan os días e afáns do noso autor. A lectura destas cartas que presentamos constitúe un bo exemplo do que podemos chamar "comercio epistolar". Son cartas, en efecto, que encerran no seu conxunto o esforzo por construír unha identidade para Galicia. Neste senso non só figuran entre os interlocutores de Murguía as grandes personalidades senón que aparecen tamén cartas humildes, de xente do pobo, que pretende colaborar con orgullo a presentar Galicia polo mundo adiante. É así que podemos dicir que este feixe de cartas atesoura en boa medida as lembranzas, soños e esperanzas dos homes e mulleres que loitaron pola construción de Galicia.

O SUICÍDIO NA SÉRIE “OS 13 PORQUÊS”
Authors: Da Silveira Nunes Sylvia , Yan Souza Moraes Brunno , Rafael da Costa Breno , Bittencourt Flávio
Published: June 2022

O suicídio pode ser estudado sob muitos pontos de vista, uma vez que a decisão voluntária pela morte é algo complexo e de difícil explicação, por ser evidentemente multifatorial. A partir de um olhar interdisciplinar, dialogamos com autores/as da psicologia, psicanálise, psiquiatria, sociologia e filosofia a fim de compreender os resultados de uma pesquisa sobre a opinião de 316 estudantes universitários/as a respeito de uma série produzida pela Netflix, chamada “Os 13 porquês”.  Os/as estudantes responderam a um questionário com questões abertas e fechadas sobre a série. As perguntas visavam colher informações sobre quais temporadas vistas, motivações para assistir a série, leitura do livro homônimo, conhecimento do pós-episódio, quais pessoas próximas assistiram à série e se houve diálogo sobre ela. E também investigar as opiniões dos sujeitos sobre: Você acha que a série ajuda a prevenir o suicídio? Você aprendeu algo com a série? O que achou da série? Cite aspectos positivos e negativos. A maioria dos/as participantes (59,8%) disseram que a série previne o suicídio parcialmente e 65,8% dos/as respondentes afirmaram terem aprendido algo com a série. Enfim, é possível concluir que a série abriu o debate sobre o suicídio e outros temas próximos como bullying, depressão e empatia. Porém, a forma como a série foi estruturada também foi considerada pelos/as pesquisados/as como um gatilho para o suicídio.

Authors: Tran An Hoa , Bui Minh Man Pham , Trinh Dieu Thuong Thi
Published: June 2022

COPD affects the quality of a patient’s life and leads to death. Identifying TCM symptoms and clinical patterns proportions in the community will make diagnosis and treatment more effective. In Vietnam, there were no epidemiological documents about COPD in TCM. Therefore, this study wished to survey stable COPD patients to find out the proportions of symptoms and patterns in TCM to create a basis for further practice.

The survey was conducted as a descriptive cross-sectional study. Participants were stable COPD outpatients at the Clinic and respiratory function test of the University Medical Center HCMC from September to December 2018. According to the survey form based on the TCM diagnostic criteria, the proportions of symptoms and patterns were recorded.

After three months, 116 patients were recruited. The proportions of 30 TCM symptoms and signs were recorded. The proportions of patients were as follows: 80.17% met Lung qi deficiency, 76.72% for Lung-kidney qi deficiency, 53.45% for Lung-kidney qi and yin deficiency, 47.41% for Lung-spleen qi deficiency, and 2.59% for not meeting any of the diagnostic criteria. Patterns were overlapping in the same patients.

All TCM symptoms and patterns in the diagnostic criteria appeared in COPD patients. The deficiency of the Lung and Kidney was the most common. Most patients were classified into many different patterns with multi organs damage. More multicenter studies with bigger participants numbers are suggested.

Published: June 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has spread around the world that severely affects people’s life and the health system of countries. Enhancing the population’s awareness and prevention behaviors are crucial. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding COVID-19 prevention of outpatients and visitors at the University Medical Center in Ho Chi Minh City (UMC).

A crosssectional study was conducted on 765 participants who were conveniently selected when they arrived at UMC between March 2021 and April 2021. A questionnaire was developed based on guidelines of Viet Nam Ministry of Health (Viet Nam MOH), World Health Organization (WHO), and other prior studies to evaluate the general knowledge regarding COVID-19 disease, disease prevention, attitude, and behaviors on prevention methods.

The results showed low proportions of participants who had good knowledge of COVID-19 disease (29.15%) and prevention measures (38.17%) that were in contrast with a high percentage of positive attitudes (89.08%). There were 22.09% of participants were identified as good preventive behaviors based on seven surveyed measures. An association between prevention knowledge and prevention behaviors was observed when participants with good knowledge showed 2.15 times-higher odds of good behaviors (95%CI: 1.52, 3.04, p-value<0.001) compared to those with insufficient knowledge. Gender, occupation, accommodation, living with family or friends, comorbidities, and history of COVID-19 -related isolation were associated with good behaviors (adjusted p-value <0.05).

The percentage of knowledge and the compliance rate for COVID-19 prevention measures is low, and there is a positive association between prevention knowledge and good behaviors. Therefore, communication programs to improve the community’s knowledge and to increase good practice rates are necessary and urgent.
Impact of COVID-19 outbreak on cardiology outpatient visits at a Vietnamese tertiary general hospital
Authors: Pham Dung Truong My , Nguyen Hai Hoang , Vu Lan Ngoc , Nguyen Si Van
Published: June 2022

COVID-19 is a rising health problem that affects not only the infected patients but also the non-COVID-19 group. There is a reduction of non-COVID-19 healthcare services during COVID-19 outbreaks which leads to subsequent increment of mortality. This study aims to investigate the impact of the fourth COVID-19 surge on the cardiology outpatient visits at Nhan dan Gia Dinh hospital.

A retrospective observational study was conducted using extracted data from the healthcare informative system of Nhan dan Gia Dinh hospital. Monthly trends of cardiology outpatient visits between May 1st, 2021 to August 31st, 2021 were compared with those of the previous four months and the same period of the year 2020. The demographic characteristics, diagnoses, and prescription behavior were described.

Non-COVID-19 cardiology outpatient visits showed a stable trend until the beginning of the fourth outbreak, in May 2021 when they dropped drastically by 50%. A reduction of 50% was observed in every diagnosis. There was a substantial decrease in visits from other provinces as well as in the concurrent diagnosis of cancer. No change in the rates of prescribed medications was observed besides the lengthening of the prescription time.

The fourth COVID-19 wave caused a serious impact on cardiology outpatient care which might lead to an adverse prognosis. Though there has been some adaptive modification in prescription, this phenomenon calls for more attention and adequate measurements in the non-COVID-19 population for the later outbreaks.

Concrete is the second frequently used material in our planet. Being the most consumed construction material for infrastructures and buildings, the demand for concrete is very high at present and expected to have the same significance in the future. On the other hand, conventional concrete could not be considered as an environmentally friendly construction material. This comes from the perspectives of reducing natural resources, high energy consumption, and produce a huge amounts of construction waste. 3D printing construction with earth materials provide the potential solutions to reshape the construction world and answering the current demands of sustainability, energy efficiency and cost in construction. This paper presents a review of 3D printed constructions made from earth materials benefits, limitations and current applications.
The Justice's Absence in Modern World: Galsworthy's Depiction in Justice
Authors: Mahdi Sanaa Mohammed
Published: June 2022

Justice is like a machine that rolls on itself when someone has once given it the starting. In the discussion of justice, the term social problem has been used many times in modern social tragedy, known as problem plays for their concerns with social problems. These plays reveal the awful forces of society against a man that caused his suffering and death. They overemphasize the social dilemma and social consequences. The absence of justice leads to the failure of the legal system that gives severe punishments to the poor without taking into consideration the circumstances behind their crimes. The unfair practices of the judicial system never punish the upper class for their crimes in time and put wretched poor people in prison for committing unimportant or trivial acts. In the modern world, a man, especially the poor, is crushed under the wheel of justice. The hypocrisy, intolerance, ignorance, tyranny, and the false values of the world heap injustice on man and make him find peace only in death.   Man is inherently good, but the social institutions have often victimized him and hindered his subsistence and development. The absence of justice is the main reason that causes all man's depression, out of which is born disappointment, disillusionment, and death.
Analisis ‘Illah Hukum Terhadap Hadis Perubatan Nabawī Berkaitan Habbatussauda, Madu, Susu Berserta Air Kencing Unta
Authors: Mahmad Robbi Ahmad Akram , Mohamad Sharin Mohamad Faiq , Mohd Subri Irwan
Published: June 2022

Prophetic medicine is one of the parts of Islamic Shariah law as it is mentioned in the hadiths of the Prophet which is one of the sources of Islamic jurisprudence. To avoid any misunderstanding and exploitation in society, these hadiths need to be understood precisely through the method of ‘illah analysis contained in these hadiths. The ‘illah debate has been explained in detail by past and contemporary scholars from both theoretical and practical points of view. Thus, through qualitative methods, the researchers refer to the main sources of fiqh, uṣūl fiqh and prophetic medicine to discuss the debate of 'illah and Prophetic medicine in more depth while utilizing current scholarly writings, articles, newspapers, magazines and websites that touching on the topic of study. Overall, based on research on the hadiths related to the black seed, honey, and camel’s urine and milk, the researchers found that the hadiths about Prophetic medicines are not all absolutely general in nature and mean obligatory orders because there are certain qarinah that deny them. Therefore, it is inappropriate if these hadiths are practiced according to their understanding that is only taken outwardly without taking into account factors such as the position of the hadith, its context, and interpretation.

The Role of Informational Asymmetry in Interfaith Communication During Conflict: A Game Theoretical Approach
Authors: Guner Serdar S. , Sandal Nukhet A.
Published: June 2022

Interfaith dialogues are platforms to address the issues of common concern for different faiths and beliefs. In this article, we use game theory to draw attention to the tensions between representing one’s community and reaching out to the ‘other’ side in pursuit of a common goal. We investigate the role of uncertainty and trust in interfaith communications, especially in times of political conflict. We propose four dynamic game models of incomplete information classified into two categories. Through our model, we find that even if one participant would prefer a scenario where the other party is cooperative while she herself remains defiant for reputational purposes, as long as she values a mutual solution/cooperation to mutual defection/conflict, the interfaith interaction will be more likely to be successful. Our models also show that the parties will be more tolerant of a ‘defiant’ looking behaviour if they believe they are dealing with a partner who is sincere and not prone to peer pressure, rather than one who cares more about his reputation than the communication itself. We demonstrate the findings of our models by using the case of the interfaith interactions during the Troubles Period in Northern Ireland.
Review of Religion in International Relations Theory
Authors: Chadha Astha
Published: June 2022

While religion’s presence in society is not disputed, its significance in international relations (ir) and the severity of its challenge to the largely ‘secular’ international relations discipline (IR) is still debatable. Also noteworthy is the way IR (theoretical) literature has defined and considered religion: caged in certain dimensions and constrained to specific roles. While Huntington started the debate on civilizational conflicts, several studies in the past few decades have contested the validity of not only ‘warring’ civilizations thesis but also how to incorporate religion in IR. There are fewer studies that discuss in-depth, various theoretical challenges that different groups of scholars have tried to tackle in IR, and the main gaps in those studies. This paper seeks to fill that gap by proposing a different review of the existing IR literature, i.e., in light of key trends in the IR’s quest to incorporate religion into existing theories or newer frameworks. In that context, the paper argues that key works in the field can be classified according to where they place religion in (existing) IR. Three important developments in the IR scholarship as thus proposed: i) studies incorporating Religion in traditional IR theory, ii) Religious IR theories/approaches and frameworks of analysis, and iii) finding secular in the post-secularizing IR. The paper examines the above trends in detail and critically analyzes each development, followed by a brief discussion on the methodological avenues for studying different religions under the same framework.
Treatment of drug-induced immune thrombocytopenias
Authors: Marini Irene , Uzun Gunalp , Jamal Kinan , Bakchoul Tamam
Published: June 2022

Several therapeutic agents can cause thrombocytopenia by either immune-mediated or non-immune-mediated mechanisms. Non-immune-mediated thrombocytopenia is due to direct toxicity of drug molecules to platelets or megakaryocytes. Immune-mediated thrombocytopenia, on the other hand, involves the formation of antibodies that react to platelet-specific glycoprotein complexes, as in classic drug-induced immune thrombocytopenia (DITP), or to platelet factor 4, as in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT). Clinical signs include a rapid drop in platelet count, bleeding or thrombosis. Since the patient's condition can deteriorate rapidly, prompt diagnosis and management are critical. However, the necessary diagnostic tests are only available in specialized laboratories. Therefore, the most demanding step in treatment is to identify the agent responsible for thrombocytopenia, which often proves difficult because many patients are taking multiple medications and have comorbidities that can themselves also cause thrombocytopenia. While DITP is commonly associated with an increased risk of bleeding, HIT and VITT have a high mortality rate due to the high incidence of thromboembolic complications. A structured approach to drug-associated thrombocytopenia/thrombosis can lead to successful treatment and a lower mortality rate. In addition to describing the treatment of DITP, HIT, VITT, and vaccine-associated immune thrombocytopenia, this review also provides the pathophysiological and clinical information necessary for correct patient management.

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood malignancy.There are many successful treatment regimens for ALL. The chemotherapeutic agents used in the treatment of ALL are potentially hepatotoxic. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) has some role in preventing chemotherapy induced hepatotoxicity. The study was done to find out the hepatoprotective efficacy of UDCA in childhood ALL.

Materials &Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study conducted in the department of Paediatric Haematology and Oncology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka. A total of 35 patients diagnosed as ALL were randomized in two groups.One group got UDCA along with chemotherapy and the other group chemotherapy alone. Estimation of S. ALT, S. AST and S. bilirubin were done before and after 1st,2nd,3rd and 4th week of starting chemotherapy.

Result: The mean levels of S. ALT and S. AST were higher in the group that did not get UDCA. There were significant differences between S. ALT and S. AST level after 4th weeks of starting chemotherapy. However, S. bilirubin level was almost similar in both groups.

Conclusion: UDCA showed hepatoprotective efficacy in induction period of chemotherapy.

Invasive Fungal Infections in Children with Hematological Malignancy
Authors: Jamal Chowdhury Yakub , Nigar Ismet
Published: June 2022

Invasive fungal infections (IFI) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with haematolgical malignancies. Factors that appear to be associated with IFIs in both children and adults in this severely immunosuppressed population are the underlying malignancies, presence of profound and long lasting neutropenia, high intensity of the therapeutic regimens, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and previous antibiotic therapy. In patients with hematological malignancy most invasive fungal infections are caused by Candida and Aspergillous species. Though the incidence of IFI in adult may be as high as 30 % and the mortality up to 50 %, the true incidence in children and its outcome are more difficult to assess because of the growing trends towards more invasive chemotherapeutic regimens, the development and introduction of new antifungal drugs and prophylactic antifungal strategies and difference in design and patient populations among the various studies. In general the incidence rate in children appears to be lower than in adults. The diagnosis are based on the basis of microbiological and radioimagings with the criteria defined by the EORTC/MSG. Caspofungin, Liposomal amphotericin B and Voriconazole are often the first line empirical antifungal agents

Published: June 2022

Background: This study was conducted to assess the knowledge and attitude of health care providers regarding effective use of the partogram in monitoring the progress of labour.

Methods: A total fifty health care providers were assessed with a preformed questionnaire during pre and post exposure to a 5-day training program and their pre- and post-test scores were analyzed. Attitude was assessed by checking randomly selected 50 partographs filled up by trained health care providers. Their attitude also tested by direct interviewing with 50 service providers.

Results: Mean age of the respondents was 31.22 (±6.32) years. There was significant improvement of test scores after the training program. Random partograph assessment showed 85.4% correct response. Majority respondents showed positive attitude towards the use of partograph.

Conclusion: Results of this study shows that the 5-day training program on use of partograph is effective. But further training programs including refresher training and capacity building on programme is required for long term success on the use of partograph.

Published: June 2022

Objectives: Menopause is a natural process. After menopause the morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease in women is increased due to lack of oestrogen protection, aging effect, increased body weight, android pattern of body fat distribution, changes in metabolism and lipid profile.1,2 So the present study is aimed at measuring the serum lipid profile and BMI in postmenopausal women of Bangladesh, thus detecting dyslipidemia and obesity to ascertain the relative risk of developing cardiovascular disease in this group.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Obst and Gynae Department of Green life Medical College Hospital among 150 otherwise healthy postmenopausal women from October 2017 to April 2018. Fasting blood obtained for testing lipid profile. Serum total cholesterol, triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol were measured using enzymatic procedures. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentration was estimated by Friedewald formula. Questionnaire-cum interview method was used to obtain relevant informations. BMI was calculated from weight in kg and height in cm by Metric BMI calculator. Dyslipidemia was identified based on serum lipid levels following the standard protocol proposed by the national guidelines.

Result: A total of 150 participants aged between 43 years to 70 years, were included in this study. Average age of the study subjects were 53.53±3.2 years. A mean duration of menopause was 7.23±0.92 years. The range BMI level was 19.1 to 36.6. Among them BMI <24.9 , was found in 28.30% of women, BMI 25 to 29.9 was found in 49.5 % women and 22.23 % women had BMI of >30. According to standard guideline BMI <24.9 is considered normal, 25-29.9 is overweight and BMI more than 30 is obese. In this study among normal BMI group 59.4% had normal lipid profile and 29.7% had isolated hypertriglyceridemia and mixed dyslipidemia in 10.9% patients. In the group with BMI 25 to 29.9 (overweight) normal lipid level was in 52.3% women, isolated hypertriglyceridemia found in 17.6% women and dyslipidaemia was in 30.1% women. In the group with BMI >30 (obese) normal lipid level was in 5.8% of the women, isolated hypertriglyceridemia found in 29.4% women and dyslipidaemia was in 64.8% women. HDL-C level was low in 83.3% women of >30 BMI group and normal in 66.67% women of normal BMI group.

Conclusion: The prevalence of dyslipidemia, based primarily on the high cholesterol level and high LDL was observed among the overweight and obese group of study population. Therefore, it can be concluded that menopause leads to changes in lipid profile by increasing total and LDL cholesterol and by reducing HDL cholesterol which indicates menopause may be an additional risk factor for dyslipidemia causing cardiovascular disease in Bangladeshi women.

Congenital Rubella Syndrome – Is it Possible to Eliminate?
Authors: Iqbal Hasina , Mamun Kazi Taib , Mahboob Nabeela , Afrin Sabrina , Jannat Hasnatul
Published: June 2022

Congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) is one of the most devastating congenital infections and yet the only one which is vaccine preventable. Rubella remains an important pathogen globally with approximately 100,000 cases of congenital rubella syndrome estimated by World Health Organization (WHO) to occur each year. It is a public health challenge for clinicians and policymakers across the developing world including Bangladesh. The clinical manifestations of CRS in newborn are a spectrum of congenital defects such as growth retardation, cardiac defects, cataracts, and hearing impairment. The development of vaccines and implementation of vaccination strategies have substantially reduced the incidence of the disease and in turn of CRS in developed countries. In Bangladesh CRS is still an under-recognized public health problem. Therefore, routine vaccination and other preventive strategies should be taken maintained and surveillance studies should be conducted to eliminate CRS from our country.

Authors: Rahman MM , Ozoe F , Ozoe Y
Published: June 2022

The competitive antagonistic activities of a series of gabazine (3) based 3-substituted iminopyridazine butanoic acid analogs [4-(3-aryl/heteroaryl-1,6-dihydro- 6-iminopyridazin-1-yl) butanoic acid hydrochlorides] 4a-4k (Figure 1) were examined at housefly (Musca domestica) GABA receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes using two-electrode voltage-clamp (TEVC) technique. The 4-biphenylyl analog 4e exhibited the highest inhibition (approximately 68%) of GABA-induced currents at 100 μM with an IC50 value of 40.81 ± 3.89 μM. The 2-naphthyl analog 4h was the second most active compound with approximately 48% inhibition. The 4-biphenylyl analog 4e demonstrated competitive antagonism of housefly GABA receptors. Ligand docking studies into the binding site of housefly GABA receptor homology model predicted that the aromatic 3-substituents are tolerable in the pyridazine ring. The results presented in this paper about GABA receptor competitive antagonists may helpful for design and development of GABA receptor related insecticides.
