The article presents a method for distinguishing the coordinate-informative parameters of additive component signals with the combination of carrier frequencies based on spectrum convolution in the geolocation of subscriber terminals of illegitimate users of the satellite repeater resource. A qualitative assessment of the probabilistic characteristics of the developed method was made, on the basis of which the boundary conditions for the applicability of this method were determined. The results obtained on the basis of simulation modeling can be used for geolocation of subscriber terminals of illegitimate users in satellite communication systems with the reuse of the frequency resource of the repeater satellite using the technology of combining carrier frequencies.
Two Decades of Serbian Media Transformation
Authors: Milojević Ana , Kleut Jelena
Published: August 2023

This article examines the transformation of the Serbian media landscape over the last two decades, by applying four analytical categories developed for identifying levels of media capture in different national contexts (Dragomir 2019). Implementation of diachronic document analysis provides rich descriptions of the media regulatory capture, grip over public service broadcasters, misuse of state advertising and project-based financing of media content, as well as endurance of state media ownership. Therefore, this study identifies some of the reasons behind recent decline of media freedoms in Serbia, adds elements for finding the right place for Serbia on the map of Central and Eastern European post-communist media transformations, and contributes to the growing literature aimed at understanding media capture in its many forms and variations across the globe.
A Century of Media Capture in Romania
Authors: Marincea Adina
Published: August 2023

The first years of democracy after the fall of national-communism in Romania have seen media enjoy some forms of freedom. But old vices made their way into the new political landscape, together with the less familiar ills of capitalism. In what follows, the author proposes a critical overview of the historical developments of Romanian media market before and after 1989 and of the mechanisms brought on by the new system that transferred state control over media to market control. To this end, the article makes a brief account of the pre-1989 media system, going through the media capture by the monarchical and the following communist state. It then looks at the liberalization period after the fall of communism, the privatization of the media and its capture by private interests, especially in the form of “media moguls”. The study also looks at the state of public television after ’89 and how state control was reshaped to be compatible with capitalist democracy. Getting closer to present day, the article analyses how the financial crisis and the covid-19 crisis made journalists more vulnerable, but also examines some promising alternative journalistic models, brought by digital media.
The Bulgarian Media after 1989
Authors: Spassov Orlin , Daskalova Nikoleta
Published: August 2023

This article offers an overview of the most important developments in the Bulgarian media sphere after the changes of 1989. It fills a conceptual gap by analyzing the place of Bulgarian media in the context of the relationship between democracy and capitalism. The transition from socialist to private and market-oriented media, Bulgaria’s opening up to foreign media companies, the expansion of media into the internet environment, and the role of media regulation are identified as the key – and ambivalent – factors of change in the media sphere. The article argues that the tension between media democracy and media capitalism unfolded in the form of a permanent crisis in the media field. The analysis leads to the conclusion that indeterminacy and hybridity are key characteristics of the Bulgarian media system.

Suggestions for parents that the role of parents is very important in providing early education about reproductive health in children and adolescents.
A Qualitative Study to Explore the Role of Health Workers in Reducing Smokeless Tobacco Consumption in India
Authors: Mehta Neha
Published: August 2023

India is one of the largest smokeless tobacco consumers globally, leading to devastating health consequences. However, smokeless tobacco still remains poorly understood. Health workers have an essential role in curbing this rise in consumption by offering smokeless tobacco prevention advice. A better understanding of health workers knowledge and practice at offering preventative advice will help strengthen tobacco policies. This study aims to explorethe role of HWs offering SLT prevention advice by identifying facilitators for and barriers against implementation of this opportunistic strategy.Â Health workers were recruited through purposive sampling and sixteen participants took part in semi-structured online interviews. Data was transcribed verbatim and analysed through thematic analysis. Health workers stated that training was the greatest facilitator but also greatest barrier to providing smokeless tobacco prevention advice. They also thought that training during university was inadequate and external training sources were more beneficial to providing prevention advice. Smokeless tobacco training of a high standard is a major facilitator and needs providing during university and post-gradation. Smokeless tobacco needs prioritisation over smoking tobacco policies in India and stakeholders need to come together to tackle this multi-factorial problem.

Factors that lead stunting incidents are poor nutrition and inadequate psychosocial stimulation. Most parent especially in childbearing age may have lack of education about balanced nutrition that impact their feeding implementation to their children. This study investigated the impact of Golden Nutrition Booklet (GNB) in knowledge and attitudes changes of balanced nutrition implementation in women of childbearing age. Altogether 38 women in childbearing age were included in this quasi-experiment study, one group pre-test and post-test design. Â Before the intervention, respondents were given pre-test questionnaire to assess their knowledge and attitude about balance nutrition, then given the GNB to be read during the next 7 days. In the last day, the assessment was repeated after the health education by GNB given. The study showed that health education interventions regarding GNB directly influence the increasing knowledge and attitude outcomes of women of childbearing age p <0.05. However, we can conclude that the GNB can be used as health education media for woman to implementing balanced nutrition, that could enhance child nutrition outcomes.

A spectro-temporal modulation test for predicting speech reception in hearing-impaired listeners with hearing aids
Authors: Zaar Johannes , Simonsen Lisbeth Birkelund , Laugesen Søren
Published: August 2023

Spectro-temporal modulation (STM) detection sensitivity has been shown to be associated with speech-in-noise reception in hearing-impaired (HI) individuals. Based on previous research, a recent study [Zaar, Simonsen, Dau, and Laugesen (2023). Hear Res 427:108650] introduced an STM test paradigm with audibility compensation, employing STM stimulus variants using noise and complex tones as carrier signals. The study demonstrated that the test was suitable for the target population of elderly individuals with moderate-to-severe hearing loss and showed promising predictions of speech-reception thresholds (SRTs) measured in a realistic set up with spatially distributed speech and noise maskers and linear audibility compensation. The present study further investigated the suggested STM test with respect to (i) test-retest variability for the most promising STM stimulus variants, (ii) its predictive power with respect to realistic speech-in-noise reception with non-linear hearing-aid amplification, (iii) its connection to effects of directionality and noise reduction (DIR+NR) hearing-aid processing, and (iv) its relation to DIR+NR preference. Thirty elderly HI participants were tested in a combined laboratory and field study, collecting STM thresholds with a complex-tone based and a noise-based STM stimulus design, SRTs with spatially distributed speech and noise maskers using hearing aids with non-linear amplification and two different levels of DIR+NR, as well as subjective reports and preference ratings obtained in two field periods with the two DIR+NR hearing-aid settings. The results indicate that the noise-carrier based STM test variant (i) showed optimal test-retest properties, (ii) yielded a highly significant correlation with SRTs (R2=0.61) exceeding and complementing the predictive power of the audiogram, (iii) yielded significant correlation (R2=0.51) with the DIR+NR-induced SRT benefit, and (iv) did not provide significant correlation with subjective preference for DIR+NR settings in the field. Overall, the suggested STM test represents a valuable tool for diagnosing speech-reception problems that remain when hearing-aid amplification has been provided and the resulting need for and benefit from DIR+NR hearing-aid processing.
The Near-Miss Effect in Online Slot Machine Gambling: a Series of Conceptual Replications
Authors: Palmer Lucas , Clark Luke , Ferrari Mario
Published: August 2023

Objective: Near-misses are a structural characteristic of gambling products that can be engineered within modern digital games. Over a series of pre-registered experiments using an online slot machine simulation, we investigated the impact of near-miss outcomes, on subjective ratings (motivation, valence) and two behavioural measures (speed of gambling, bet size).Method: Participants were recruited using Prolific and gambled on an online 3-reel slot machine simulator that delivered a 1 in 3 rate of X-X-O near-misses. Study 1 measured trial-by-trial subjective ratings of valence and motivation (Study 1a, n = 169; Study 1b, n = 148). Study 2 measured spin initiation latencies (n = 170) as a function of the previous trial outcome. Study 3 measured bet size (n = 172) as a function of the previous trial outcome.Results: In Study 1a, near-misses increased the motivation to continue gambling relative to full-misses, supporting H1. On valence ratings, near-misses were rated significantly more positively from full-misses, in the opposite direction to H2; this effect was confirmed in a close replication (Study 1b). In Study 2, participants gambled faster following near-misses relative to full-misses, supporting H3. In Study 3, participants significantly increased their bet size following near-misses relative to full-misses, supporting H4.Conclusion: Across all dependent variables, near-miss outcomes yielded statistically significant differences from objectively-equivalent full-miss outcomes, corroborating the ‘near miss effect’ across both subjective and behavioral measures, and in the environment of online gambling. The unexpected findings on valence ratings are considered in terms of boundary conditions for the near-miss effect, and competing theoretical accounts based on frustration/regret, goal generalization, and skill acquisition.

Canadian Medical Cannabis Use after Legalization
Authors: Davis Andrew
Published: August 2023

Dans le cadre d’une décision politique majeure, le Canada a légalisé le cannabis récréatif en octobre 2018. Cependant, les provinces ont mis en œuvre cette légalisation différemment. L’Ontario par exemple a ouvert des magasins de cannabis beaucoup plus tardivement que les autres provinces, et les données de vente au détail indiquent que cette situation a eu une incidence sur le comportement des consommateurs. J’utilise cette variation exogène dans l’accès au cannabis légalisé, combinée à des données de patients de grande taille provenant d’une chaîne de cliniques de cannabis à usage médical opérant dans plusieurs provinces afin de contribuer à la compréhension de la baisse observée dans la vente du cannabis à usage médicinal et la croissance significative du cannabis médicinal produit individuellement. Après la légalisation, l’achat du cannabis médicinal a moins diminué en Ontario que dans les provinces où l’accès est plus élevé. Cependant, je ne trouve aucune preuve permettant d’affirmer que la légalisation a modifié les tendances dans la composition des acheteurs de cannabis médicinal en fonction du sexe, de l’âge ou de l’état de santé. Cette preuve concorde avec un mésusage minimal du système de cannabis à usage médical et, par conséquent, ne corrobore pas les politiques plus restrictives concernant l’achat de cannabis médicinal. Cependant, l’augmentation substantielle de la culture personnelle de cannabis à des fins médicales pourrait devenir une priorité politique à l’avenir.

Published: August 2023

Au Canada, des débats de longue date ont lieu sur la manière de concevoir des politiques efficaces pour répondre aux besoins des diverses communautés rurales. Le présent article fait le point sur les politiques rurales canadiennes en procédant à une analyse globale du contenu des stratégies, des plans et des programmes des gouvernements provinciaux et territoriaux. Cette analyse révèle que bon nombre des critiques récurrentes concernant les politiques rurales restent pertinentes aujourd’hui, notamment le cloisonnement sectoriel, le manque d’intégration des politiques et la perception permanente des régions rurales comme étant des sites d’extraction détachés de l’investissement. Cette étude souligne également l’importance des approches en matière de politique émanant des territoires du Nord canadien qui démontrent des approches intégrées du développement économique rural.
Shell Dimension-Weight Relationship and Condition Index of the Invasive Mussel Mytella strigata in Sasmuan, Pampanga, Philippines
Authors: Mendoza Dante , Aquino Michelle Grace , Mendoza Gerondina
Published: August 2023

A total of 300 Mytella strigata were collected at three sampling points in the mussel coastal demonstration farm in Sasmuan, Pampanga, and subjected to morphometric and gravimetric measurements for the evaluation of its growth pattern and condition index. Designated sampling sites were based on the distances to the river mouth (200 m, 400 m, and 600 m) with varying water quality parameters (temperature, salinity, pH, water velocity, and chlorophyll-a). Mussels in Site 2 had significantly larger shell dimensions (SL = 2.862 cm, SW = 1.458 cm, SH = 0.926 cm), shell weight (0.640 g), and total live weight (1.150 g). Significantly higher (p < 0.05) soft-tissue dry weight (0.083 g), however, was obtained in Site 3, while comparable (p >0.05) soft tissue weight was observed in Site 2 (0.364 g) and Site 3 (0.413 g). Nevertheless, mussels in all sites demonstrated negative allometric growth (b < 3). The length-weight relationship revealed a weak to moderate, positive correlation. A significantly higher (p < 0.05) condition index was obtained in Site 3, which could have been influenced by higher chlorophyll-a and substantially lower water velocity. As such, this signifies its potential to have a well-established population in this spatial distance (600 m) from the river mouth. Hence, regular harvest and product development is recommended as strategic options to control its proliferation.

Published: August 2023

Lake Mainit is the deepest lake in the Philippines, with sporadic documentation of various types of aquatic pollution. This paper reports the heavy metal content in the muscles of the striped snakehead murell Channa striata and bottom sediments from five stations across Lake Mainit using quadrupole-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (Q-ICP-MS). The micronuclei (MN) formation in erythrocytes of C. striata was also assessed for potential genotoxicity. The relative order of the average concentrations of heavy metals in C. striata samples across all stations is Zn>Cu>Cr>Ni>As>Pb>Cd. As per international safety standards, fish muscle samples across all stations have exceeded the permissible limits of Cu, Ni, and Zn, which has implications for health risks in humans consuming this important fish commodity. The relative order of the concentrations of heavy metals in sediments is Cr>Ni>Cu>Zn>As>Pb>Cd, where Cr, Ni, Cu, Pb, and Zn exceeded safety standards. The MN assay revealed that 98% of the erythrocytes assessed (N=147,000 RBCs) have normal cell morphology. Of the 2% of erythrocytic nuclear alterations (ENAs), 55% are found to be fragmented-apoptotic cells, while 31% are elongated or reshaped. The MNs in C. striata are relatively minimal at 2%. While the MN assay implies that C. striata from Lake Mainit are not at risk for potential genotoxic injury, the present study calls for seasonal monitoring for heavy metals in sediments and other fishery resources in Lake Mainit.

Authors: Tattao Jennifer , Angeles Isagani , Ame Evelyn
Published: August 2023

The global glass eel population is continuously declining over the years. Apart from the anthropogenic factors, the global production decline suggests that the changing climatic condition may have influenced its downtrend. This study assessed the climate change vulnerability of the eel fishery in Aparri, Cagayan, being one of the major collection areas in the Philippines. Vulnerability assessment (VA) was conducted using the Fisheries Vulnerability Assessment Tool (FishVool) through focus group discussion (FGD) with 25 participants and key informant interview (KII) with 50 respondents whose experiences are up to 10 years. Results showed that the overall climate change vulnerability of the eel fishery in Aparri, Cagayan, Philippines is high due to high exposure (4.76) to extreme weather events but medium in sensitivity (3.35) and adaptive capacity (3.2). The results of this study provided valuable information to government fisheries planners, policymakers, and other fisheries stakeholders in developing policies and management plans that will reduce vulnerability and build climate-resilient eel fishery.

Authors: Santos Francisco F. , Baure Jerwin , Santos Mary Nia
Published: August 2023

Freshwater eels are emerging high-value species in aquaculture in the Philippines. However, the freshwater eel industry in the country remains under-documented, and most of the culture technologies employed are based on temperate eel culture. This study employed a mixed methods approach in primary and secondary data gathering. Key industry players across the value chain were identified and interviewed from February to October 2017 to gather baseline information on aquaculture practices, glass eel capture fisheries, and trading of anguillid eels. Secondary data from BFAR supplemented interview findings. Industry practices in 25 eel farms across the country were documented, the majority (80–85%) of which were nursery farms found in Regions 3 and 4A. There were five grow-out farms, with the largest production facility in Cabadbaran, Agusan del Norte. Different culture facility designs, glass eel stocking practices, water management, aeration systems, feeding schemes, and disease management were described. Most farms used concrete tanks with flow-through systems stocked at 500–1500 pcs/m2 and commercial feeds with binders, bloodworm, or trash fish as feeds. Four major glass eel collection sites were identified: Cagayan, the Davao region, General Santos-Sarangani, and Cotabato City-Maguindanao. The glass eel supply chain starts with collectors, followed by stockers and consolidators who consolidate glass eel catch prior to selling to growers or traders. After the desired eel size (6 inches) is achieved through culture, growers or traders sell the eels to exporters, local institutional markets, and local eel processing plants. The results of this study provide essential information that will pave the way for science-based research to improve the existing culture practices and fisheries policies that will help boost aquaculture production and guide proper management programs.

Dating back to at least 50,000 years ago, rock art is one of the oldest forms of human symbolic expression. Geographically, it spans all the continents on Earth. Scenes are common in some rock art, and recent work suggests that there are some hints of expression that looks like some of the conventions of western scenic art. In this unique volume examining the nature of scenes in rock art, researchers examine what defines a scene, what are the necessary elements of a scene, and what can the evolutionary history tell us about storytelling, sequential memory, and cognitive evolution among ancient and living cultures?
Role of Paclitaxel and Vinblastine in Modern Cancer Therapy
Authors: Sarkar Suranjana
Published: August 2023

Natural products still account for more than half of all medications in clinical use in the generic age of contemporary biotechnology. According to the World Health Organization, plant extracts are used in 85 percent of out-dated medicine, and around 80 percent of people in underdeveloped nations rely on conventional medicinal substances for their main health care. 62 percent of the 87 anticancer medicines authorised in the last 10 years are natural products. The major drugs among them include paclitaxel and vinblastine, extracted from Taxus brevifolia and Catharanthus roseus respectively. All of them work by binding to tubulin and altering microtubule dynamics to impede cancer cell proliferation. They trigger apoptosis by causing mitotic arrest. These findings from epidemiological and investigational research emphasise the usefulness of phytochemicals in reducing cancer risk and inhibiting the growth and spread of tumours in investigational animals, which are medically more important. In a range of spontaneous or transplanted lymphocytic leukaemia, paclitaxel and Vinblastine medications have a high inhibitory impact on monozygotic leukaemia, breast cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, ovarian cancer, solid sarcoma, malignant melanoma, head and neck cancer, and testicular cancer. Anti-tumour effects, on the other hand, still encounter obstacles and have a long way to go. The study and development of these medications will provide more significant results in the future

One of processed bananas that has a long shelf life is banana fritter. Banana fritter is made by slicing bananas in various thicknesses and then drying them. Drying intends to reduce or eliminate the water content in bananas. This study aims to determine the drying characteristics of kepok bananas based on the thickness of the slices and the back and forth process in making banana fritter. The design used in this study was a completely randomized design (CRD) with two types of thickness, namely 1 cm (K1) and 1.5 cm (K2) cm and there were once (B1) and twice (B2) alternating process treatments respectively in a day. Research data were analyzed using SPSS. The results showed that the degree of thickness (K) significantly affected the mass change of bananas during drying (P value = 0.0001), and the alternating process of bananas (B) did not affect the mass change of bananas during drying (P value = 0.532), while the combination between treatment B and K did not have a significant effect (P value = 0.385). From the results of this study it can be concluded that the thickness of the dried kepok banana slices greatly affects the characteristics of the resulting banana fritter. The drying rate and MR value are directly proportional to the amount of moisture in the banana during drying which is shown at a thickness level of 1.5 cm, so it is advisable to carry out further research mechanically with a thickness level of 1.5 cm kepok banana slices.

Hydroponics is an agricultural farming system that does not use soil media but uses water media containing nutrient solutions. The purpose of this research is to measure and observe dissolved oxygen levels in the Smart Watering Unpad and Autopot Systems that have never been done before. The research was conducted using descriptive analysis method that is measuring, observing, calculating, and analysing quantitative data on hydroponic installations Smart Watering Unpad and Autopot. The fertigation used in this study were Smart Watering Unpad and Autopot with the parameters observed were ambient temperature, dissolved oxygen, and the relationship between ambient temperature and Dissolved Oxygen for 30 days of observation. The results showed that the response of dissolved oxygen levels was influenced by environmental temperature in the SWU 01 Lettuce, SWU 02, SWU 03, and SWU 01 Paprika systems had a NEGATIVE relationship direction. The Autopot system is the only installation that has a POSITIVE change in the relationship of dissolved oxygen levels influenced by ambient temperature. Autopot is a hydroponic installation that can maintain the availability of dissolved oxygen levels in the nutrient solution. The Smart Watering Unpad 02 installation can maintain the availability of dissolved oxygen levels in the nutrient solution compared to other installations in the Smart Watering Unpad system type.

Patients with immune-inflammatory diseases (IID) are a special group of patients at risk of infectious diseases with a probability of a more severe course and outcome. This problem has become more urgent with the emergence of a new coronavirus infection (NCVI) and the need for vaccination against COVID-19. The purpose — to study the features of vaccination against COVID-19 in patients with immune-inflammatory diseases (IID). Material and methods. Conducting surveys and interviews with rheumatological and nephrological patients about vaccination against COVID-19. Results. The study included 225 patients with IID of the Nephrology and Rheumatology Departments of the Republic Clinical Hospital aged 18 to 82 years, among them 133 women and 92 men. Among the 133 women surveyed, 76 (57%) were vaccinated; the main reasons for refusing vaccination were high IID activity and previous NCVI. Among the 92 men surveyed, 59 (64%) were also vaccinated. Just like in women, the main reasons for refusal were high IID activity and previous NCVI. Conclusions. Rheumatological and nephrological patients in general have a rather high (59%) commitment to vaccination against COVID-19. Patients over 35 y.o. were more committed. The main reasons for refusing to be vaccinated were medical withdrawal due to a high activity of the underlying disease and a recent NCVI. In this group of patients, vaccination against COVID-19 was effective and safe; there were no cases of NCVI within 6 months after vaccination.

We evaluated intestinal permeability by triple sugar test in patients with autoimmune liver diseases. Patients were divided into groups with autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cholangitis and overlap syndrome (autoimmune hepatitis/primary biliary cholangitis). 102 people were included in the cross-sectional study: 72 patients with autoimmune liver diseases and 30 healthy volunteers. Diagnose based on recommendations — EASL (2017), AASLD (2019), IAIHG (2021). Small intestine permeability was evaluated by the ratio of lactulose/mannitol in urine, large bowel permeability by the level of sucralose in urine (nmol/l). We used the method of high-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. Patients with autoimmune liver diseases had increased small intestine permeability – 0.12 [0.07; 0.234] (p < 0.001) compared to the control group — 0.013 [0.01; 0.025]. Large bowel permeability — 760.8 [386.4; 1640] nmol/l did not differ from group control — 785.6 [408; 1027.2]. Increased small intestine permeabilityin patients with autoimmune liver diseases: stage of hepatitis — 0.17 [0.118; 0.253] (p < 0.001), liver cirrhosis — 0.106 [0.07; 0.23] (p < 0.001) compared with the control group. Large bowel permeability in patients with hepatitis and in liver cirrhosis did not differ from control group. Increased values of the triple sugar test were detected in patients with autoimmune hepatitis (increased permeability of the small intestine (0,09 [0,07; 0,17] (p < 0.05), increased permeability of large bowel — 1091,2 [760; 2352] (p < 0.05)) and overlap syndrome (increased small intestine permeability — 0.18 [0,086; 0,3] (p < 0,05) and increased large bowel permeability — 880 [424; 1680] (p < 0,05)) at the stage of liver cirrhosis. Patients with autoimmune liver diseases show the increased permeability of the small intestine. The presence of increased permeability of the small and large intestine may indicate the progression of the disease.

Hereditary renal tubular disorders: Single Iraqi center experience of 80 pediatric cases
Authors: Ahmed Azat Nariman F.
Published: August 2023

Background: Hereditary renal tubular disorders (HRTDs) encompass various clinical syndromes and most of them have profound effects on child's growth and development,.
Patients and methods: We reviewed the medical records of eighty children (48 males and 32 females) seen over an eight years period from (sep.2004-may2012) at children welfare teaching hospital.Objectives: was to review our experience at children welfare teaching hospital in Baghdad with the various types of HRTDs and delineate the spectrum of clinical expression and outcome.
Results: The distribution of patients according to HRTD was as follows: (56.25%) proximal RTA (pRTA), (30 %) distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA), (2.5%) type IV RTA, (10%) Bartter’s syndrome and (1.25%) Gitelman syndrome.  Age at diagnosis ranged between 1 month and 16 years. Overall, consanguinity rate was as high as 85%. Rate of affected siblings was 58.75%. Failure to thrive was common symptoms in all our patients’ with HRTDs. Renal failure was found in (24.4%) of patients with pRTA and 25% of patients with dRTA.
Hearing loss was present only in patients with dRTA (20.8%). Convulsions were noted in (37.7 %) of patients with pRTA, (16.6 %) patients with dRTA and the patient with Gitelman syndrome. Nephrocalcinosis were more common in dRTA patients (79.16%).
Conclusions: The high rate of consanguineous mating is likely to produce many heritable disorders including HRTDs by increasing the knowledge on demographic, clinical, and laboratory features of this rare disease group may serve to increase our current knowledge on this disease group making early diagnosis and life-saving treatment possible.

Published: August 2023

Background: Urological anomalies are frequently associated with anorectal malformations which are a common source of significant morbidity.
Objective: Is to evaluate the incidence and nature of the urological anomalies with patients of anorectal malformations (ARM).
Patients & methods: The data  from  95 patients with ARM were studied from January 2009 to January 2012 in this cross-sectional study. All patients underwent sonography of urinary tract. Voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) was done in patient with abnormal sonography & to all male patients with ARM who underwent colostomy. Other imaging studies were done in selected cases.
Results: Males significantly constitute the majority 64/95 (67.4%) of ARM cases, while females constitute 31/95 (32.6%) of patients, male to female ratio is 2:1. High type anomaly significantly constitutes the majority of the patients 79/95 (83.2%)  in both genders. Urologic malformations were found in 24/95 (25.3%) patients with a significantly high frequency in males 21/64 (32.8%) while 3 of them were females 3/31 (9.7%).  Urological anomalies occur more with high type ARM (27%) versus (12%) in low type ARM. Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), renal agenesis, and hydronephrosis were the most common urologic anomalies respectively.
Conclusions: The high incidence of associated urogenital anomalies necessitates a careful investigation of all patients with ARM and continued long term follow up of these patients is mandatory to avoid deterioration of renal function in future.
