Authors: Topal Kübra , Uğur Fatih , Topal Murat , Atalay Fatma , Uğur Emel
Published: February 2023

Background/Aim: Hip fractures among the elderly are a major public health problem that cause high rates of morbidity and mortality. There are many studies regarding prevention and defining the underlying causes of hip fractures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) test responses of elderly patients without vestibular symptoms hospitalized due to fall-related hip fractures in order to evaluate the subclinical vestibular dysfunction rates in patients with hip fractures.
Methods: Twenty-two patients aged 67-79 hospitalized due to fall-related hip fractures and 24 control patients presenting to the orthopedic clinic due to knee pain were included in the study. The participants underwent detailed otological examination and cVEMP tests. The two groups’ cVEMP records were then compared.
Results: The demographic characteristics of the participants in the patient and control groups including age, gender, and race were similar. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups’ absent VEMP response rates. No significant difference in terms of P1 and N1 latencies was determined between the right and left ears in either group. The hip fracture group (study group) had significantly increased P1 and N1 latencies in cVEMP which is associated with central vestibular dysfunction. (P=0.008 and P=0.007, respectively).
Conclusion: The rate of subclinical peripheral vestibular dysfunction, which can be identified by cVEMP evaluation, is increased in elderly patients with hip fractures caused by low energy trauma. Precautions like vestibular rehabilitation can be a preventive measure for hip fractures in the elderly.

Published: March 2023

School libraries in the United States of America have recently experienced an unprecedented number of external censorship attempts. Some censorship attempts, however, quietly occur when the school librarian engages in self-censorship, removing or refusing to purchase materials they consider to be controversial. This collection analysis study explored the extent of self-censorship in 90 Texas public high school libraries based on the exclusion of 55 controversial books in their collections, examining (1) possible relationships between a school’s characteristics and the absence of controversial books, (2) the extent to which the librarians are engaging in self-censorship, and (3) the controversial topics least likely to be included in collections. Findings suggest campus enrollment and district size were moderate to strong predictors of the number of expected books in a school library. More than half of the school libraries had the number of books one would expect based on their district size and campus enrollment. Books with transgender or LGBTQIA+ content were less likely to be found in school libraries, whereas titles featuring profanity, drinking, and drug use were most likely to appear, regardless of campus, district, and city size.

Published: March 2023

The spread of the Corona virus (Covid 19) is still developing with new variants, Indonesia is one of the countries that currently has not been able to overcome the pandemic. One of the ways to maintain the immune system is by maintaining nutritious food intake and consuming healthy foods. Deficiency of Zn in the body results in decreased endurance, productivity, and human quality of life. Zn deficiency is one of the causes of stunting. Inpari IR Nutri Zinc is biofortified rice with a zinc content of 34.51 ppm which plays a role in preventing stunting, helping to increase nutritional value while overcoming iron deficiency in the community. Based on the superiority of Inpari IR Nutri Zinc rice, it is necessary to study the productivity and suitability of agro-ecosystems on Lombok Island. The study was carried out in three locations, three growing seasons using Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for IR Nutri Zinc Inpari Rice Cultivation. The three locations are Mataram District at MT I/2020, Gerung District MT II/2020 and Narmada District MT III/2020. The study was carried out using a Randomized Block Design (RBD) design in 3 locations, 3 growing seasons using the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for IR Nutri Zinc Inpari Rice Cultivation. The aim of the study was to determine the level of productivity consistency of the Inpari IR Nutri Zinc variety using the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for rice cultivation at the 3 locations. The planting of Inpari IR Nutri Zinc rice at each location and growing season was repeated 5 times. Parameters observed included agronomic growth and productivity. Data collection consists of secondary data (rainfall data) and primary data. For primary data carried out by direct observation in the field and interviews with implementing farmers and business actors. Inpari IR Nutri Zinc planted in 3 locations using standard operating procedures (SOP) for rice cultivation, showed higher productivity than the average yield of Inpari IR Nutri Zinc at the national level. The productivity of rice planted in the Mataram sub-district in MH 2020 was 7.63 t/ha. The planting of Inpari IR Nutri Zinc rice is suitable for planting in the rainy season, but can produce well in the dry season with water conditions or an average rainfall of at least 100 mm / growing season. Rice Inpari Nutri Zinc can and should be developed in West Nusa Tenggara Province, especially in paddy fields and districts where the stunting rate is still quite high in an effort to reduce and prevent stunting in West Nusa Tenggara.

O alto índice de mortalidade nos neonatos caninos é um forte indicador de como uma atenção maior deveria ser dada a transferência de imunidade passiva nessa espécie, assim como já é bastante estudado em equinos e bovinos. O colostro é um alimento essencial para o filhote, porque além de fornecer energia, é responsável pela transferência de imunoglobulinas maternas, em especial a IgG, que irá fornecer imunidade sistêmica. Mais do que a qualidade do colostro ingerido, o tempo de ingestão ser feito o mais cedo possível se mostra com uma maior importância, devido a barreira intestinal se fechar entre as primeiras 12 a 16 horas de vida. Não há ainda no mercado veterinário um produto que consiga substituir totalmente o colostro, sendo ainda a melhor solução na falta dele, colostro congelado. O presente trabalho é uma revisão de literatura com objetivo de abordar a importância do colostro canino para a transferência de imunidade passiva em filhotes e possíveis soluções alternativas e complementares para aumentar a qualidade desse processo.

Authors: Althwani Amina N.
Published: March 2023

Objective: The aim of this study is to find out the efficiency of CA15-3 in the follow up of metastatic invasive ductal carcinoma patients pre and post-treatment. Method: Seventy five inavasive ductal carcinoma Iraqi patients with metastasis were admitted to Nuclear Medicine Hospital in Baghdad, all were females and have received the same treatment regimen which is represented by FAC: 5-fluorouracil, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide given 3-weekly for 6 cycles. Those patients have been observed for four months until they completed their course of treatment. Also 15 samples of apparently healthy women were involved as a control. The blood samples (5 mL) were drown from all of studied cases in order to be used for measuring their serum level of CA15-3 (serum CA15-3 levels of patients were measured pre and post treatment) by using Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) technique. Result: Serum CA15-3 concentration was elevated in 36 patients (highly significant) from the total number of patients that had been considered in the study before starting therapy, 31 patients from them were followed up for four months while they completed their course of treatment. Then; their serum CA15-3 concentrations were measured again, the result showed that the CA15-3 values decreased in 27 patients to be within normal level, but increased in 4 patients more than its primary concentration before starting therapy. Conclusion: CA15- 3 is a sensitive tumor marker for diagnosing metastatic invasive ductal carcinoma and especially for monitoring treatment of those patients.

Authors: Dawood Sura Dhafir
Published: March 2023

Background: Interleukin-6(IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine that plays a major role in response to injury or infections and involved in immune response, inflammation and haematopoiesis. It is produced by a variety of cell types in response to variety of stimulants. Also deregulation impacts to numerous disease states, including many types of cancer. Elevated IL-6 levels have been observed in most types of cancer and it’s implicated in the pathogenesis of several disease such as acute myeloid leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma and it may be a prognostic factor for solid tumors, such as prostate cancer. Objectives: Estimation of the serum levels of IL-6 in patients with AML in different stages of the disease and assess their prognostic value and study its relationship with bacteremia, total leukocyte count ,and hemoglobin concentration. Materials and Methods: Forty patients of AML in different stages in National centre of hematology-Baghdad were studied immunologically for the detection of serum IL-6 by Enzyme Linked Immune Sorbent Assay(ELISA) kit. Specimen of blood collected from AML in relapse stage with episode of fever, were subjected to well known established microbiological methods for diagnosis and identification of isolates and data were compared with 20 healthy donors. Results: Newly diagnosed and in relapse stage patients with AML had significantly higher serum levels of IL-6 compared with both control group and leukemic patients in remission stage P<0.05,in addition there was a positive correlation of IL-6 with the presence of fever due to bacterial infection .The clinical specimen result in(8) isolates, from which (6) were coagulase negative and (2) were staphylococcus aureus ,all isolates show high sensitivity to erythromycin and high resistant to chloromphenicol .Also IL-6 level correlated positively with total leukocyte count (TLC) and inversely with hemoglobin (Hb) concentration in AML at diagnostic and relapse stage. Conclusion: Serum levels of Interleukin-6 can be used as prognostic serum markers at diagnosis of adults acute myeloid leukemia and it could be used as follow up parameters for early detection of relapse stage, in addition it seem to be a good markers to detect patients with bacteremia
The Role of high dose of Pomegranate on P53 expression in healthy and Dacarbazin’s treated experimental male Rats
Authors: Bakir Firas K.
Published: March 2023

The possible action of high dose of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) powder extract was evaluated in normal healthy and dacarbazine-induced toxicity in albino rats. Twenty-eight male albino rats were used in this study. The animals were divided into three different groups in addition to control group. The first group treated with intravenous injection of (1mg/kg b.w.) dacarbazine. he rats of the second group supplemented with pomegranate juice with concentration (1000mg/l) in drinking water, while the third group was the combination of the two treatments. Samples of blood were collected after a weeks of treating, and the serum was obtained in the laboratory for the evaluation of P53 protein within the serum. The results showed a significant reduction of P53 level in dacarbazine treated rats comparing with control. Whereas, pomegranate juice treated rats had significant increasing of P53 level as compared to control. The level of the combination treatment also was significantly more than control and dacarbazine treatment, while it was significantly lesser than pomegranate juice treated rats. These finding suggests that dacarbazine cytotoxicity is not P53 dependent and high dose of pomegranate has role in P53 protein expression induction
The Association Between HLA-Class I Antigens and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in a Sample of Iraqi Patients
Authors: Aajil Aaiad Hameed
Published: March 2023

The association between HLA-class I (A and B) antigens and polycystic ovary syndrome was investigated in 45 Iraqi female patients during the period February - July 2010. Additionally, ABO blood group phenotypes (A, B, AB and O) were also investigated. The comparison was made with 40 apparently healthy females (controls) who were blood donors and matched patients for age and ethnicity. The O blood groups showed a significant (P = 0.02) decreased percentage frequency in patients as compared to controls (33.3 vs. 57.5%), but the corrected P (Pc) was not significant (Pc = 0.08). In contrast, the HLA antigens were presented with a corrected significant variation. The antigen HLA-B7 showed a significant (Pc = 0.016) increased percentage frequency in patients as compared to controls (42.2 vs. 10.0%), and such variation was associated with a relative risk (RR) value of 6.58 and an etiological fraction (EF) of 0.36. Such variation may highlight the importance of HLA system in conferring immunogenetic predisposition to develop ovarian cysts.

Mocaf adalah makanan fungsional yang merupakan modifikasi dari tepung tapioka dengan bantuan proses fermentasi bakteri asam laktat. Nilai fungsional dari mocaf karena mempunyai kadar serat yang lebih besar dari tepung non-modifikasi. Salah satu tahapan dalam pembuatan mocaf pengeringan chips singkong dari hasil proses perendaman proses fermentasi. Umumnya pengeringan dilakukan menggunakan bantuan sinar matahari akan tetapi kualitas produk hasil chip kering tidak dapat dikontrol karena pengaruh cuaca dan musim hujan. Hal ini perlunya dilakukan pengeringan secara otomatis menggunakan hot air ataupun bantuan energi lain seperti radiasi infrared (IR). Penelitian ini bertujuan membandingkan efektifitas pengeringan chip singkong dalam pembuatan tepung mocaf dengan menggunakan dengan dua metode yaitu dengan pengeringan dengan bantuan IR dan hot air pada suhu 30 dan 40 oC dengan respon berupa moisture content tiap satuan waktu. Profil laju pengeringan dan estimasi dari hasil persamaan dari hasil eksperimen dilakukan sebagai dasar untuk estimasi waktu pengeringan. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa profil laju pengeringan semua sampel mempunyai pola yang hampir sama dan hampir berimpit kecuali pada variable IR pada suhu 30 oC. Hasil estimasi waktu pengeringan tiap variable didasarkan dari persaman polynomial orde dua. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa pengeringan chip dengan menggunakan IR pada suhu 40 oC berlangsung selama 13 jam sedangkan hot air pada suhu yang sama selama 15 jam. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pengeringan dengan bantuan IR pada suhu 40 oC masih lebih efektif dibandingkan dengan hot air pada suhu yang sama.
