Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the most common degenerative joint disease resulting in bone pain and disability. The aim of current study is to determine diet quality by healthy eating index (HEI)-2015 in association with pain and functional status among a sample of participants with primary knee OA. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 220 patients with knee OA were recruited via convenience sampling in the outpatient clinics of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences between April and September 2018. The HEI-2015 score was calculated from dietary data collected using a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Visual analogue scale, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index and the SF36 quality of life (QoL) questionnaire were applied to measure the pain intensity, functional status and QoL in the participants, respectively. Participants were categorized based on the quintile cutoff points of HEI score including 42-62, 63-69, 70-75, 76-78 and 79-100. Results: The mean score of HEI was 70.62±10.18 (range: 42–89). Participants with greater HEI- 2015 scores had higher total energy intake (P=0.008) and greater dietary intake of carbohydrates (P=0.01), protein (P=0.009), monounsaturated fatty acids (P=0.01), polyunsaturated fatty acids (P=0.007) and fiber (P=0.009) and lower intake of saturated fatty acids (P=0.005). Participants in higher quintiles of HEI had significantly lower pain intensity (P=0.001) and higher scores of physical function (P=0.001), pain (P=0.001) and role limitation due to physical problems (P=0.005) subscales of SF-36 QoL questionnaire in comparison with participants in lower quintiles of HEI-2015. Conclusion: The HEI-2015 score is associated with pain intensity and two domain of QoL in patients with knee OA.

Introduction: There are many different therapeutic approaches to control colorectal cancer (CRC) which is recognized as one of the deadliest diseases in the world today. One of the most recent of which is the probiotic interventions to change the gut microbiome. Probiotics can be related to the control of gastrointestinal cancers in a variety of ways. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between supplement use with macroscopic and physiological changes of tumor in 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) -induced rats. Methods: The male Wistar rats were divided into three groups. Lactobacillus paracasei X12 was administrated (40 weeks) to the DMH-induced rats. DMH injection (30 mg/kg BW) was used for 12 weeks to induce CRC. The "AgNOR method" was applied for the evaluation of cell proliferation. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to measure the gene expression of apoptotic markers. Results: The findings of this study indicated that L. paracasei X12 intake prevented weight loss caused by CRC (P=001), and probiotic consumption could significantly prevent tumor growth. Additionally, a significant correlation was observed between apoptosis markers and weight of animals, and a strong negative correlation (P=000) between apoptosis parameters and tumor characteristics (incidence, volume, and multiplicity of adenomas). A close association between cell proliferation and tumor characteristics was illuminated as well (P<001). Conclusion: This study revealed a strong correlation between tumor incidence and growth and probiotic intake in CRC. Moreover, it could be believed that cancer prevention is a far more essential and cost-effective way than its cure.

Published: June 2020

Hydatid cyst disease is one of the zoonoses caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus,mostly involving the liver and the lungs; but its complications can be seen in every site andorgan. Sometimes it can cause suspicious and complicated cases that mimic malignancy. Forinstance, axillary involvement of hydatid cyst is very rare. It is important to differentiate hydatidcyst disease from cancer, since it may show malignant features when pulmonary or other distantorgan involvement takes place. In this study, we present a case of multiple masses in the lungsand the axillary region in a 48-year-old woman. The ultrasonography was unable to detecthydatid cysts. Biological values were normal except for serum sodium (Na) and potassium (K);and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test was negative. Hydatid cyst was diagnosedwhile taking a biopsy from the axillary tumor.

Introduction: Trauma has been recognized as the leading cause of mortality and morbidityamong children in developed countries. Therefore, it is highly desirable to have a controlprogram in this area. The aim of this study was determining epidemiologic feature and diagnosticoutcome of traumatic pediatric patients referred to emergency department in 2016-2017. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at emergency department,Imam-Reza hospital of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences in 2016-2017 on a total of 518traumatic children. Variables of interest were age, gender, location of trauma, mechanism oftrauma, type of transfer to emergency department, time of trauma, and outcome of the incident. Results: Among 518 traumatic children involved in the study, the most common age for traumawas 3-6 years, and 66.4% and 33.6% of the studied population were boys and girls, respectively.Falling (42.5%) was the most common mechanism of trauma, and the most of traumas occurredduring evening (56.9%) and spring (38.8%) time. In additions, 75.5% of traumatic children weretransferred to the emergency department by their family, and among them, only for two casessafety instructions had been considered. Conclusion: In general, the results of this study demonstrated that boys with the age of 3-6 yearsare the most vulnerable group against trauma. Falling and traffic accidents are the main causesof trauma in children, whereas safety devices were not used in the majority of accident cases.Thus, it is highly recommended to use safety equipment for children inside vehicles.

Introduction: Trauma is the leading cause of mortality and disability in the countries. How to deal with a traumatic patient is one of the most important things and the individuals need to learn about it. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of problem-based education on improving the performance of medical trainees in the management of trauma patients,and identify students’ skills status in order to advance educational goals; and thus increase community health. Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 76 Medical students were randomly divided into two intervention and control groups. Student performances were evaluated using standard checklists as a pre-test and post-test assigned. descriptive and statistical analysis of the acquired data was done using SPSS 20 software; and the parametric and non- parametric tests were used for thestatistical analysis. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in age at 23 years (P = 0.422). In terms of sex distribution, there was also no statistical difference (P = 0.212). The scores in the intervention group were higher than in the control group, but no statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups. Conclusion: The results show that student-centered and cooperative methods have a greater impact on students’ learning than lecturing. On the other hand, one should know that learning problem-solving itself has many limitations and problems with implementation.

Introduction: We investigated the effect of education on the knowledge and decision-making of medical interns, based on emergency severity index (ESI) triage. Methods: In this pre and post-interventional study, 155 medical students who were passing their internship course of the emergency ward were enrolled with convenience sampling from July 2018 to June 2019. The students were randomly classified into two groups (103 cases and 52 controls). The questionnaire was administered twice in the control group (before initiating the educational class and 1 month after completion of the educational course). In the case group, the test was conducted at three times (before the educational class, immediately after completion of classes, and one month after completion of the educational course). The data were analyzed by using t test and ANOVA. Results: The total score of the students in the case group in the pre- and post-training stage (posttest 1) was 17.13±4.26 and 24.93±3.20 respectively, which had a significant difference (P<0.001). The total score of the students in the posttest 2 was 23.38±5.66. Statistical test showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups of the students in terms of the test in the one month after completion of the educational course (P<0.001) except for under triage (P=0.236). Conclusion: The findings indicated that education based on ESI triage was effective on the knowledge and decision-making of medical interns. Based on the results of this research and given the importance of triage, theoretical and practical educational courses are proposed for medical students

Introduction: This preliminary study evaluates the possible responsibility of ischemia-induced vagosympathetic imbalances following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), for the onset of autoimmune thyroiditis. Methods: Twenty-two rabbits were chosen from our former experimental animals, five of which were picked from healthy rabbits as control (nG-I=5). Sham group (nG-II=5) and animals with thyroid pathologies (nG-III=12) were also included after a one-month-long experimental SAH follow-up. Thyroid hormone levels were measured weekly, and animals were decapitated. Thyroid glands, superior cervical ganglia, and intracranial parts of vagal nerve sections obtained from our tissue archives were reexamined with routine/immunohistochemical methods. Thyroid hormone levels, hormone-filled total follicle volumes (TFVs) per cubic millimeter, degenerated neuron density (DND) of vagal nuclei and neuron density of superior cervical ganglia were measured and statistically compared. Results: The mean neuron density of both superior cervical ganglia was estimated as 8230±983/ mm3 in study group animals with severe thyroiditis, 7496±787/mm3 in the sham group and 6416±510/mm3 in animals with normal thyroid glands. In control group (group I), T3 was 107±11 μg/dL, T4: 1,43±0.32 μg/dL and TSH <0.5, while mean TFV was 43%/mm3 and DND of vagal nuclei was 3±1/mm3. In sham group (group II), T3 was 96±11 μg/dL, T4: 1.21±0.9 μg/ dL and TSH>0.5 while TFV was 38%/mm3 and DND of vagal nuclei was 13±4. In study group, T3 was 54±8 μg/dL, T4: 1,07±0.3 μg/dL and TSH >0.5, while TFV was 27%/mm3 and DND of vagal nuclei was 42±9/mm3. Conclusion: Sympathovagal imbalance characterized by relative sympathetic hyperactivity based on vagal insufficiency should be considered as a new causative agent for hypothyroidism.

Published: June 2020

Introduction: This study was designed to compare the effectiveness of intravenous morphine with nebulized morphine in pain relief of patients referring to the emergency setting with traumatic musculoskeletal pain. Methods: This randomized, placebo-controlled and double-blind clinical study evaluated 160 patients 18 to 65 years of age with acute traumatic pain, who attended the emergency department during 2019. Subjects were assessed with Numerical Rating Scale based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and randomly divided into two groups. In one group, 80 patients received IV morphine (0.1 mg/kg+5 mL normal saline) plus an equivalent volume of IV placebo. In the second group, 80 patients received nebulized morphine (0.2 mg/kg+5 mL normal saline) plus nebulized placebo. Pain score was monitored in all patients with Numerical Rating Scale before and after intervention at baseline, 15, 30, 45, and 60-minute intervals. Patients’ vital signs and possible adverse events were evaluated in each observation time points. Finally, all participants were assessed for their satisfaction with pain management. Data were analyzed using repeated measure analysis for continuous variables and Binomial test for categorical variables Results: There was no significant difference between the demographic characteristics of patients in study groups. Pain relief between the two groups was similar during the observation (0, 15, 30, 45, 60 min) (P>0.05). There were no changes in vital signs between two groups, although the nebulized group had lower systolic blood pressure at the time-point of 15 minutes after the treatment initiation (P=0.03). Conclusion: Although Nebulized morphine has similar efficacy in comparison with IV route, nebulization might be considered as the clinically efficacious route of morphine administration with minimal side effects, providing optimal pain relief in patients.

Introduction: Considering that portal hypertension is principally caused by hepatic fibrosis, some studies postulated the predictive value of serum liver fibrosis indices in the diagnosis of portal hypertension. In this study we assessed the prognostic value of serum indices in the diagnosis of portal hypertension in cirrhotic patients. Methods: One hundred two cirrhotic patients were selected according to inclusion/exclusion criteria. Cirrhosis and the Child-Pugh score was determined by the gastroenterologist. Portal hypertension was diagnosed by the radiologist using the color Doppler method. The fasting blood sample was drawn and different serum indices were determined. The following indices were calculated: FIB4, Fibroindex, APRI, FORNS, LOK. Results: The patients mean age was 54.39±6.60 years. About 52.94% of the patients were women. The mean liver enzymes level was higher in patients with portal hypertension. In 50.98% of patients, the etiology of cirrhosis was viral hepatitis. Significant differences was observed between the two groups regarding the studied indices (P<0.05). According to the results of the ROC curve, the FORNS index was a better predictive marker of portal hypertension in cirrhotic patients. The maximum AUC (area under the curve) was for the FORNS index. According to the results of diagnostic tests, the FORNS index had adequate sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of portal hypertension with the cut-off value of 8.51. Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that the FORNS index is a better predictor of portal hypertension in cirrhotic patients.

From a medical graduate perspective, the field of medicine is quite complex: graduates will encounter a wide range of healthcare scenarios to which they must respond using a professional,competent and skillful approach. Workplace-based assessment (WPBA) tools are a unique form of assessment to evaluate the performance of the medical student in the workplace in real time and has been linked with multiple benefits. However, adoption of WPBA by medical colleges has not been uniform owing to multiple challenges related to feasibility, students and faculty members. In order to facilitate the successful implementation of WPBA tools, medical educators must work as a team in a coordinated manner and ensure that all the stakeholders are part of the process. In conclusion, WPBA have a special role in the making of a competent and professional health care professional. However, the process of employing WPBA tools is a challenging task and its use requires us to be thoughtful and planned in our approach to accomplish the intended learning outcomes.

The world is globalized increasingly. There are various tribes and religions due to technological developments and population movements. In such circumstances, there is no longer a boundary between one another. The encounter between people of different cultures and religions is unavoidable. People can no longer live in a closed space like in a capsule. Therefore, like it or not, people must accept differences in a heterogeneous society. But encounters with different people can lead to a conflict with one another in society. This challenges pastoral science to develop itself so that it can help people who experience problems due to the clash of cultures and religions by developing healing memory method in intercultural and interreligious pastoral care.AbstrakDunia semakin mengglobal dan terdapat beragam suku dan agama akibat perkembangan teknologi dan perpindahan penduduk. Dalam kondisi demikian tidak ada lagi batas antara satu dengan yang lain dan pertemuan antara orang-orang yang berbeda budaya dan agama tidak terhindarkan.

Fish are an important part of the diet of the local people in the coasts of the Black Sea. The concentrations of three essential (Fe, Zn, Cu) and three non-essential (Pb, Hg, Cd) heavy metals were determined in Rainbow trout from Samsun fish market. In the present study, the maximum amounts of the toxic metals were 0.014 mg Pb kg-1 wet wt., 0.024 mg Hg kg-1 wet wt. and 0.018 mg Cd kg-1 wet wt. in the edible tissues of Rainbow trout. Maximum toxic heavy metal values are quite below the permitted values set by the Turkish Food Codex (TFC) and European Union legislation. Hazardous quotient (HQ) values showed that there was no apparent risk when each metal was analysed individually. Moreover, hazard index (HI) was also found to be less than 1. From the results the HQ of the heavy metals indicated that all Rainbow trout individuals were safe with no risk to consumers.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected higher education institutions (HEIs) worldwide and reshaped the existing educational system. Due to travel constraints and physical separation, there has been a global shift toward distance learning, and Nepal is no exception. This research intends to assess the practicality of online education by evaluating learners' experiences amidst COVID-19. A cross-sectional study was directed among HEIs students in Nepal using self-structured questionnaires. Our study revealed that 64.6% of the respondents were unsatisfied with online classes. More than half of the respondents (53.4%) use cell phones for online studies. Online education was reported to be unappealing to 28.8% of respondents. Variables such as age group (p = 0.05), enjoying class (p < 0.001), hours spent for an online class in a day (p = 0.05), and period for educational work using an electronic device (p = 0.1) were found significant with satisfaction level using both bivariate test and inferential test of univariate binary logistics regression. The challenges and opportunities encountered among students and faculties are highlighted along with the recommendations for fortifying communication in online-based educating/learning.

The COVID-19 pandemic exerted an adverse influence on the global education system, especially since starting school lockdown. The growth of teacher unemployment figures climbed double-digit and spawned these unexpected sequels. For instance, while native teachers seemed indisposed to leave the profession with the aim of seeking another more profited and seasonal jobs, many ex-pat teachers presented themselves with moving or stayed in dilemma in the way the government salvaged their situation. In preference with the ex-pat teacher's case, we elucidated further throughout an e-survey in the International Baccalaureate community on Facebook from 4 to 11 April 2020 for 18,000 ex-pat teachers, who are teaching in Southeast Asia. This dataset includes 307 responses of ex-pat teachers who are staying in Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia during the pandemic.

Did the Indian lockdown avert deaths?
Authors: Raju Suvrat
Published: June 2020

Within the context of SEIR models, we consider a lockdown that is both imposed and lifted at an early stage of an epidemic. We show that, in these models, although such a lockdown may delay deaths, it eventually does not avert a significant number of fatalities. Therefore, in these models, the efficacy of a lockdown cannot be gauged by simply comparing figures for the deaths at the end of the lockdown with the projected figure for deaths by the same date without the lockdown. We provide a simple but robust heuristic argument to explain why this conclusion should generalize to more elaborate compartmental models. We qualitatively discuss some important effects of a lockdown, which go beyond the scope of simple models, but could cause it to increase or decrease an epidemic's final toll. Given the significance of these effects in India, and the limitations of currently available data, we conclude that simple epidemiological models cannot be used to reliably quantify the impact of the Indian lockdown on fatalities caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Large Signal Analysis and architecture patterns in analog design.
Authors: Bheemaiah Anil Kumar
Published: June 2020

Abstract:Design patterns inspired from the field of architecture, have a strong presence in software engineering, with the leading contribution by the gang of four, circuit design lacks formal architectural definitions and design patterns, definitions, although, BEAM or MFA I design has a modular design structure with design patterns. In this paper we introduce a Tensor definition for architectural patterns, with a stability analysis of large signal behaviour, leading to definitions of associative memory, state diagrams and digital architectural paradigms in analog design. In future work, we design natural language like grammars to tensor representations in a formal complexity theory of Lie Computability and monotonic functions.Keywords: design patterns, structural, functional, behavioural, architecture, analog design, design thinking, constructivism, BEAM robotics, gestalt.What:Structural and Functional architectural patterns in analog design, with small signal and large signal analysis in analog design, illustrated with Nv neuron architectures.How:Reconfigurable design blocks for op amps and BJT/FETs are explored with reconfigurable control buses, and complex impedances, a combination of capacitive, inductive and resistive elements, all amenable to low scale integrated design as FlexICs. With this modular core for use in reconfigurable BEAM robotics, as an illustration of the use of design patterns.
BEAM or MFA I inspired Nv Neurons using op amps for line and line based polygon detection.
Authors: Bheemaiah Anil Kumar
Published: June 2020

Abstract: Tensor network topologies for function, first class or MFA I as BEAM circuits are described within the framework of complexity theory using Lie Computability definitions. An example of the design of opamp based Nv Neurons for the perception of shape from line detection Nv neurons is described, with circuits that detect number of lines and concavity and closure of lines in a finite region of interest. The possible role of BEAM robotics in 3R’s is described in nature inspired intent transcription, in multi -functionality and functionality driven evolution and transcription. Keywords: BEAM, MFA I, MFA II, Lie Computability, op amp circuits, Nv Neurons, Two Port Systems, large signal analysis, feedback principles, solitons, neuro-modulation. What: Nv Neurons are built from opamp based circuits, for line detection using an array or grid of inexpensive photo detectors, using an opamp based positive feedback loop and negative feedback loops for synergy principles. Story: The author first worked on this problem in his undergraduate senior year, when his advisor advised a bottom-up approach to BEAM based machine vision, biomimetics in synthetic neurons from discrete components and opamps. The problem was to differentiate a simple polygonal shape from the background. How: A simple polygon is found in traffic sign posts , creating the need for a hard wired circuit to recognize an octahedral stop sign and several triangular signs. We use line decomposition with a circuitry to compose the lines into polyhedral shapes.(Bheemaiah, n.d.) Why: BEAM is functional art, and forms the predecessor to MFA II or completely multi functional architecture of a broad umbrella of value addition in multi functionality, functoid and HOF based algebraic frameworks for MaC based definitions of architecture and design in code.(Autores and International Workshop on Higher-Order Algebra, Logic and Term Rewriting 1994; Kirchner and Wechler 1990; Dowek et al. 1996)

Prilaku korupsi di Indonesia telah menjadi budaya. Hampir semua sector memiliki potensi korupsi, mulai dari kalangan elit sampai masyarakat biasa. Tidak hanya menjangkiti kalangan yag tidak tahu agama, orang yang ahli agamapun berpotensi terserang penyakit korupsi. Sudah banyak peristiwa korupsi yang melibatkan tokoh agama yang berada di kementerian agama, dan bahkan masih segar dalam ingatan kita, mantan menteri agama terjangkit kasus korupsi dan mendekam di dalam penjara, yang notabenenya memiliki pemikiran agama yang luas. Dan masih banyak lagi tokoh-tokoh agama di daerah yang terjebak lakon korupsi. Kasus ini hanya sedikit gambaran dari demoralisasi politik santri. Pada taraf inilah, rumusan masalah yang diangkat adalah bagaimana terjadinya demoralisasi politisk santri? Untuk menjawab ini, penulis menggunakan metode analisis wacana kritis (critical discourse analysis) dengan pendekatan dekonstruksi Derrida untuk membongkar ekuivokasi (pengelakan) politik santri

Human rights issues and Islamic world background for Mashood A. Baderin, although Islam is not a single factor in the realization of human rights in Muslim countries, but it becomes a very important factor that can be used as a means to realize the law. Islam as part of state law. The Harmonious Perspective is very helpful to use Islam as a means to realize human rights in the Muslim World in a socio-cultural and political-legal context, in order to promote and heal the common human rights. Mashood offers a narrative of the interaction between religion and international law, while it also offers an analysis of the effects that can be used to align the international field, and encourage the development of human rights. Concepts that affect every aspect of international relations and openness. This is the main purpose of the United Nations (UN). If we understand human rights as universal to protect individuals and people against violence, then the view that Islam is incompatible with human rights is due to the conversion and enhancement of human dignity in Islamic law.

One of efford to increase competition islamic university (PTI) is an ability to do differentation strategy by positioning or a distinctive placement in the public eye. Positioning PTI as an organization in the minds of stakeholder is very important so the organization can success in winning the competition. PTI must be keen to position its service products as something unique and valuale so that the product/organizations can get a place in the mind of stake holders.

Facing a very thought challange in th future, PTI is necessar to prepare leaders by having various roles: a) As planner, b) As managers, c) As supervisiors and evaluatior, d) As communicator by using good communication PTI leaders can make their staff highly commited to improve the quality of education. The leader of PTI should always build effective communication with its members encourage one to work as the leader wants to achieve the organization goals.

Verbal communication from a leader of PTI in positioning strategy to increase PTI competition is by using positioningsentenc have invaluable meaning in giving focus and purity a formation or strategi building and marketing tactics.

Non verbal communication form from a PTI leaders is by giving the best service PTI leaders is as a khadimul ummah( servant  of the people).

It means that they have to give the best service to the costumer either internal customer or external the best leader is a leader who are able to give the best way to lead that to communicate in the best way to their members and institution costumer.
