Authors: Bourekouche Hadjer , Belkacem Samia , Messaoudi Noureddine
Published: February 2024

Powerful cryptographic systems require a qualified random number generator. This research purposes to provide a comprehensive comparative analysis done on several of the well-known pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs) regarding their efficiency and resilience against crypto-analytical threats. These generators consist of the basic 8-bit Non-Linear Feedback Shift Register (NLFSR), the logistic map (LM), and our proposed hybrid random number generator named NLFSR-LM, which combines through XOR operation the sequences of the NLFSR with the LM to achieve a high quality of randomness. The performance of the created generator is examined and subsequently compared according to statistical tests of randomness alongside cryptographic features in terms of key space, key sensitivity and resistance to numerous attacks. The proposed generator produced good results and exhibited several interesting properties, such as a high degree of security, a sufficiently large key space, and it provided better randomness than other frequently used PRNGs.

Understanding the Antiretroviral Treatment Experiences of Men Attending a HIV Clinic in Jamaica
Authors: Wilson Shakeisha , Conn Cath , Nayar Shoba , Waters Tineke
Published: February 2024

Objective: Jamaican men experience socio-cultural norms that increase vulnerability to contracting Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, and affect how they engage with their antiretroviral treatment. This paper reports on a study, conducted in 2016, that examined the treatment experiences of Jamaican men attending a HIV clinic.

Methods: This qualitative study utilized semi-structured interviews with 24 participants to explore the complexities surrounding sexuality, gender, and HIV status as interrelated dimensions that influenced HIV positive Jamaican men’s engagement and adherence with antiretroviral treatment. Data were coded using NVivo and analyzed using the stepwise multi-level intersectionality framework of Winker and Degele.

Results: Men’s treatment trajectory comprised five phases: HIV diagnosis, acceptance, adjustment, treatment initiation, and treatment continuation. The treatment phases were largely centered on the clinic, which was deemed to minimize some men’s autonomy and liberty. As a result, the clinic was positioned as both an enabler and barrier to men’s access to optimal health care.

Conclusion: The study makes an original contribution to understanding a population and issue that remains integral in effectively addressing the HIV epidemic in Jamaica. It is argued that there is a need for gender-sensitivity, tailored access to health services, and the provision of safe and enabling health environments to address HIV positive men’s health in Jamaica.

Authors: Parhi Radha , Nayak Chaturbhuja
Published: February 2024

Anaemia is a major public health problem in India as it is estimated that most of the non-pregnant women of reproductive age group are anaemic. It occurs when there is decreased level of haemoglobin in red blood cells. The primary cause of anaemia is iron deficiency. Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) may be present with other systemic diseases. People with mild and moderate iron deficiency anaemia may not have any sign and symptom. But more severe iron deficiency anaemia may cause fatigue, tiredness, shortness of breath or chest pain. Although Homoeopathy gives importance to the individualisation of the patients, for remedy selection, still then, some medicines are prescribed based on disease diagnostic features. Such medicines are not well proved, so they are known as rare/lesser-known medicines. Of course, their role in the management of certain diseases cannot be ignored. This article aims at showing the effectiveness of some lesser-known medicines in the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia.

Healthcare-associated infections: prospective rotational surveillance data of a training and research hospital
Authors: Çekli Yavuz , Çavuşoğlu Şaban
Published: February 2024

Aims: Monitoring and prevention of healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are considered to be one of the key measures to improve the effectiveness and quality of healthcare services. This study aimed to ascertain the prevalence of HAI in various hospital departments, identify the causative bacterial profile, risk factors, and the association with mortality.
Methods: This prospective study included 3117 patients who were monitored in various departments of a Training and Research Hospital. The identified HAI cases were monitored using an active, prospective, rotational surveillance method. Patient data on HAI was daily recorded on pre-established tracking forms.
Results: The mean hospital stay of patients was 9.9±7.5 days. The HAI prevalence was 4.5% and the HAI rate was 5.5%. The HAI rate showed no difference between internal medicine and surgical departments (5.7% vs 5.5%, p>0.05), but it was higher in intensive care units (ICU) (p<0.001). The majority of the isolated agents (65.2%) were gram-negative bacteria. Advanced age, intrinsic risk factors such as malignancy, and invasive procedures (use of central, peripheral, and urinary catheters) were associated to the development of HAI. The frequency of HAI was higher in deceased patients compared to survivors (25.4% vs 4.1%, p<0.001).
Conclusion: HAI remains a major concern in hospital settings, particularly in ICU, and strongly correlates with intrinsic risk factors and invasive procedures. Optimized infection control measures with these risk factors can make a significant contribution to improving patient outcomes.

Published: February 2024

Aims: The aim of this pilot study is to investigate the impact of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) technique on the activation of the upper, middle, and lower parts of the trapezius muscle during commonly used shoulder exercises in individuals with rounded shoulder posture.
Methods: The study was conducted with 15 individuals exhibiting rounded shoulder posture. The determination of rounded shoulder posture was based on measuring the distance in centimeters between the posterior corner of the lateral acromion prominence and the bed in a supine position. If this distance was 2.5 cm or more, it was considered as rounded shoulder posture. Participants were taught three different shoulder exercises and the DNS respiratory technique, a component of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization. The exercises were randomly performed with and without DNS, and the activation of the upper (UT), middle (MT), and lower (LT) parts of the trapezius muscle was measured separately using an 8-channel surface electromyography (EMG) system (Noraxon Ultium, Scottsdale, USA).
Results: The activation of all parts of the trapezius muscle was found to be higher when exercises were performed with DNS compared to without DNS (p<0.05). Additionally, the UT/MT and UT/LT activation ratios were compared during the exercises with and without DNS. It was observed that only during the 1st exercise, the UT/LT activation ratio was higher when exercises were performed with DNS (p<0.05), while in all other cases, it was similar (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The primary findings of the study suggest that the activation of all parts of the trapezius muscle is higher when exercises are performed with DNS. This implies that DNS may contribute to more effective exercise performance in terms of the activation of the relevant muscle group, indicating potential positive effects of DNS in rehabilitation programs. However, the participant profile in our study is limited to individuals with rounded shoulder posture. Further research in different populations is needed to generalize the obtained results.
Total knee arthroplasty and rehabilitation
Authors: Kültür Turgut , Özkan Ahmet

Arthroplasty is the reconstruction of the joint to relieve pain, increase range of motion and provide stabilization in any joint. The main goals of total knee arthroplasty are to relieve pain, improve function, improve quality of life, create a long-lasting artificial joint, and prevent or reduce surgical complications. Joint infection, sepsis or systemic infections, neuropathic arthropathy, painful stiff knee fusion due to complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), genu recurvatum due to neuromuscular weakness, painless and well-functioning knee arthrodesis are absolute contraindications to total knee arthroplasty. In addition, the patient should be monitored for circulation, sensation and infections during the acute period (1-5 days). An appropriate DVT prophylaxis should be given. There is evidence that long-term physical deficiencies persist after arthroplasty. Since decreased muscle strength, decreased flexibility, abnormalities in walking, and deficits in postural stability can be detected, it is recommended to continue exercise programs for at least 1 year.

Catheter rupture during coronary angiography is very rare complication. Generally, this broken catheter piece can be removed with a snareloop, but sometimes in cases where the broken piece is large in diameter, it may not be caught with a snareloop. In this case, the catheter piece that could not be caught with a snare loop was removed by catching it with a manual snare using a 0.014 inch guide wire.

Objective: To compare the outcome of antibiotic-coated vicryl versus non-coated vicryl in abdominal fascial closure after laparotomy in children regarding surgical site infections in contaminated wounds. Material and Method: This randomized control study (NCT06129773) was conducted for one year at The Children's Hospital and University of Child Health Sciences, Lahore. According to the operational criteria, 100 patients were included in the research and randomly divided into two groups (50 patients in each Group). All patients were assessed for surgical site infection on the 3rd, 7th, and 30th postoperative days using the Southampton wound grading system. The student's t-test and Chi-square tests were applied in SPSS version 24 to interpret the associations between different variables. A P-value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results: Both groups have similar demographic parameters like age and weight distribution. The mean age of the children in abdominal fascial closure with antibiotic-coated vicryl was 64.09±50.14 months, while in non-coated vicryl was 64.26± 53.45 months (p-value of 0.164). There was a male predominance in the study population, with 70 % males and 30 % females. The total surgical site infection (SSI) incidence following laparotomy was 37%. Surgical site infections occurred in 22% of patients in abdominal fascial closure with antibiotic-coated vicryl and 52% in the non-coated vicryl Group (p-value: 0.002). The hospital stay in the antibiotic-coated vicryl Group was significantly shorter than non-coated group. (4.20 versus 8.24 days. P- value: 0.001). Conclusions: The results of our study concluded that antibiotic-coated vicryl is superior to uncoated vicryl for abdominal fascial closure after laparotomy in contaminated wounds in children

Supply chain integration is a critical aspect of modern manufacturing, playing a pivotal role in enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and improving overall performance. This paper provides a comparative review of supply chain integration in manufacturing between the United States (USA) and African industries. The study aims to shed light on the similarities, differences, and potential areas for improvement in both regions. In the USA, manufacturing industries have long embraced advanced technologies and adopted sophisticated supply chain management practices. The integration of information systems, automation, and real-time data analytics has enabled seamless coordination among various supply chain elements, from raw material procurement to final product delivery. Collaboration between manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors has been a hallmark of the American supply chain, facilitating quick response to market changes and reducing lead times. Contrastingly, African industries face unique challenges in achieving similar levels of supply chain integration. Factors such as infrastructure limitations, regulatory hurdles, and varying levels of technological adoption contribute to a more fragmented supply chain landscape. However, recent years have witnessed a growing awareness of the importance of supply chain integration in enhancing competitiveness, prompting initiatives and investments to overcome these challenges. Despite these disparities, both regions share common goals of improving supply chain visibility, responsiveness, and resilience. The study explores successful strategies implemented by the USA and identifies potential lessons that can be applied in the African context. For instance, best practices in the utilization of digital technologies, collaborative platforms, and lean manufacturing principles are examined to provide actionable insights for enhancing supply chain integration in African industries. This comparative review highlights the critical role of supply chain integration in manufacturing and draws attention to the distinct challenges and opportunities faced by the USA and African industries. By understanding the best practices and lessons learned from each region, stakeholders can develop targeted interventions to enhance supply chain integration, fostering sustainable growth and competitiveness in both contexts.

Introduction: One of the pharmacological treatment options for improving the symptoms of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and increasing the quality of life is cilostazol. Cilostazol is a pharmacological agent that shows vasodilator activity mainly by reducing cAMP degradation through specific cellular phosphodiesterase 3A enzyme inhibition. The effect of cilostazol on electrocardiographic parameters is not clear. In this study, we aimed to examine the effect of cilostazol on electrocardiographic parameters in PAD patients.

Patients and Methods: The study included a total of 32 patients diagnosed with intermittent claudication and peripheral artery disease (PAD), who were selected for medical treatment based on peripheral artery imaging. The subjects were started on 100 mg of cilostazol twice a day. The electrocardiographic measurements of the subjects before the cilostazol treatment and three months after the initiation of cilostazol were compared.

Results: After a period of three months, statistically significant prolongation was observed in the ventricular repolarization parameters QTd, QTc, and Tpe of the subjects compared to their premedication values (p= 0.01, for all).

Conclusion: It is known that patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) are at an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including sudden cardiac death (SCD). In this context, close monitoring of electrocardiography markers for ventricular repolarization heterogeneity, such as QTd, QTc, and Tpe, is necessary when initiating cilostazol therapy in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). These markers may be closely associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including sudden cardiac death (SCD), and therefore require careful monitoring in PAD patients receiving cilostazol treatment.

Vascular access-induced ischemia is an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) complication that can be treated surgically by interposing grafts to improve distal flow. However, over time, the interposed grafts may occasionally experience narrowing, which may require surgical or endovascular interventions for treatment. In this case report, we present a patient who underwent balloon angioplasty to address the narrowing observed in the great saphenous vein graft that had been interposed during a Revision Using Distal Inflow (RUDI) procedure.
