Authors: Gundran Carlos Primero D. , Lam Hilton Y. , Lopez Jaifred Christian F. , Santamaria Emelia B. , Tuazon Anna Cristina A. , Tayao Lotgarda
Published: January 2021

Background. Despite existing disaster preparedness policies in the Philippines, there has not been any validated assessment of the quality of disaster medical response, which would require reliable aggregate data on patient diagnoses and management.

Objective. This mixed-methods study documented the diagnoses, triage classification and case management of patients seen by Philippine EMS groups who responded to the Typhoon Haiyan disaster in the Philippines in November and December 2013, as well as difficulties associated in gathering these data, using the Utstein-style Template for Uniform Data Reporting of Acute Medical Response in Disasters as framework.

Methods. Three hundred (300) individuals vetted by EMS organizations were invited to answer a survey modeled after the Utstein-style template, and submit tallies of patients seen. Out of 52 responses received, policy recommendations were subsequently generated on concerns assessed by the template using the nominal group technique.

Results. The submitted data yielded a total of 41,202 patients with information on age, sex, and diagnosis; 19,193 with triage classification; and 27,523 with information on case management. The focus group discussion underlined the absence of a standard communication and information management system. Participants recommended establishing such a system, and highlighted the role of the Department of Health – Health Emergency Management Bureau in coordinating disaster medical response efforts and information management.

Conclusion. This study underlines the importance of effective communication, and multisectoral coordination, to generate reliable data and thus, facilitate resource allocation for disaster medical response.

Published: January 2021

Background. In view of renewed interest in primary health care (PHC) as a framework for health system development, there is a need to revisit how successful community health programs implemented the PHC approach, and what factors should be considered to scale up its implementation in order to sustainably attain ideal community health outcomes in the Philippines.

Objective and methodology. Using the 2008 World Health Report PHC reform categories as analytical framework, this systematic review aimed to glean lessons from experiences in implementing PHC that may help improve the functioning of the current decentralized community-level health system in the country, by analyzing gathered evidence on how primary health care evolved in the country and how community health programs in the Philippines were shaped by the PHC approach.

Results. Nineteen (19) articles were gathered, 15 of which documented service delivery reforms, two (2) on universal coverage reforms, three (3) on leadership reform, and one (1) on public policy. The literature described how successful PHC efforts centered on community participation and empowerment, thus pinpointing how community empowerment still needs to be included in national public health thrusts, amid the current emphasis on performance indicators to evaluate the success of health programs.

Conclusion and recommendations. The studies included in the review emphasize the need for national level public health interventions to be targeted to community health and social determinants of health as well as individual health. Metrics for community empowerment should be developed and implemented by government towards sustainable health and development, while ensuring scientific validity of community health interventions.
Campus displacement Experiences of the University of the Philippines students and teachers Affected by typhoon haiyan: Perceived needs for Mental health and Psychosocial support
Authors: Tuazon Anna Cristina A.
Published: January 2021

Background. Typhoon Haiyan made landfall over the Visayas Region in 2013, affecting 15 million people. At least 4 million people were displaced, including hundreds of University of the Philippines students and teachers who had to deal with the consequences of such displacement not only on their personal lives but also on their academic lives.

Objective. This study explored the experiences and needs of students and teachers of the University of the Philippines Visayas Tacloban College (UP VTC), University of the Philippines Manila School of Health Sciences (UPM SHS), and University of the Philippines Diliman (UPD) who were either directly affected by Typhoon Haiyan or served as responders to the typhoon survivors. The study specifically looked at experiences of displacement in an academic setting, from the perspective of those who were academically displaced and those who hosted them.

Methods. A qualitative descriptive study was designed involving a total of 17 student and teacher survivors and responders (ten survivors or survivor-responders and seven responders), who were purposively sampled and participated in an online open-ended questionnaire that elicited narrative experiences post-Typhoon Haiyan. Archived group process notes during the Haiyan response were also included as data. Qualitative thematic analysis was used to identify salient themes among and within groups.

Results. Salient themes of student and teacher survivors, survivor-responders, (i.e. survivors who also had the additional role of being responders for others), and responders that emerged included: (1) provision of basic needs (food, water, safety) including academic resources, (2) lack of deliberate psychosocial processing of the disaster experience for both survivor and responder, (3) unequal access to help, (4) communication and organizational problems, and (5) victimhood.

Conclusion. Student and teacher survivors and survivor-responders cited needs that go beyond basic survival needs that require a more contextual approach. Given the university context of student and teacher survivors, survivorresponders, and responders, recommendations included the need for (1) efficient dissemination of existing postdisaster school policies and programs to increase access to address communication and organizational issues, (2) equal access to school-based basic, financial, educational, and psychological support and services, and (3) proper sensitivity training for host students, teachers, and staff to decrease experiences of victimhood and discrimination.

Published: January 2021

Background. Road traffic injuries (RTI) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Despite underreporting, the scarce Philippine data suggest that RTI pose a significant health problem in the country. It is imperative, therefore, to accurately quantify the burden of RTI in the Philippines.

Objective. This study aimed to provide the first comprehensive baseline estimation of the socioeconomic burden of RTI in the Philippines for year 2014.

Methods. The study was a mixed method study design that utilized both primary and secondary data. These data were used to construct parameters needed for the modeling estimates. Measure of socioeconomic burden estimated were (1) economic costs, (2) disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and (3) healthy life years (HeaLY).

Result. Estimated deaths due to RTI in 2014 were 12,336 translating to 454,650 years life lost due to premature death. Injury episodes from RTI were estimated to be 2,798,088 in 2014 with 186,174 leading to admissions, translating to 56,224 years life lost to disability. The total DALY loss due to RTI in 2014 was estimated at 510, 874, while healthy life years lost were estimated to be 76,215,477.4. The estimated deaths and injuries for that year equaled to direct medical cost of PhP 1.213 B, productivity loss due to premature death of PhP 24.620 B, and productivity loss due to illness of PhP 685 M resulting to a total economic cost of PhP 26.519 B to the society.

Conclusion. The findings indicate that RTI is an important public health concern in the Philippines with substantial economic and health burden. Investing in preventive measures will likely yield significant economic and health gains for the Philippines.

Le cancer du sein représente un véritable problème de santé publique de par la morbi-mortalité qu’il engendre. Bien que les stratégies de prise en charge précoce soient de mieux en mieux élaborées avec une curabilité en nette augmentation, le cancer métastatique demeure souvent incurable où seules des mesures palliatives peuvent être proposées. Nous rapportons le cas d’une patiente âgée de 59 ans qui consulte aux urgences ophtalmologiques pour une sensation de brouillard de son œil droit évoluant depuis une dizaine de jours environ, dont l’investigation clinique a décelé un carcinome mammaire canalaire infiltrant multi-métastatique. Une chimiothérapie palliative a été entamée dans les plus brefs délais dont les effets sur la tumeur primitive et sur les localisations secondaires étaient assez satisfaisants, notamment au niveau oculaire où une amélioration conséquente de l’acuité visuelle a été notée remontant jusqu’à 6/10. Cependant, après une certaine durée nous avons constaté une diminution de l’acuité visuelle faisant ainsi discuter d’autres alternatives thérapeutiques à savoir une radiothérapie externe de la métastase choroïdienne à laquelle la patiente s’y est farouchement opposée et ce, hormis de nombreuses séances de psychothérapie, puis une injection latéro-bulbaire de corticostéroïdes ayant donné une augmentation spectaculaire de l’acuité visuelle. L’association de métastases cutanées, oculaires, ganglionnaires et pulmonaires à une tumeur du sein bien visible à l’inspection est extrêmement rare et figure parmi les cas historiques auxquels on ne devrait plus assister au 21ème siècle. A cet effet, nous insistons sur le dépistage et la sensibilisation des populations au cancer du sein en mettant l’accent essentiellement sur le soutien psychologique.
Construir puentes entre la investigación y las políticas educativas: ¿Cómo pueden ayudar los Observatorios ciudadanos?
Authors: Martínez Bordón Arcelia , Hermida Montoya Georgina
Published: January 2021

El objetivo del presente artículo es analizar el rol potencial de los observatorios ciudadanos en México para tender puentes entre la investigación educativa y las políticas públicas. A partir de un estudio cualitativo de tipo documental y empírico, se discute el posible rol de estos actores como intermediarios estratégicos, gracias a la riqueza de sus características: tanto de las generales relacionadas con su figura asociativa, como de las específicas con los ámbitos educativos monitoreados por cada caso, las acciones realizadas, la información producida y sus públicos objetivo. Al retomar la preocupación de Pablo Latapí, de “procurar una mayor presencia de la investigación educativa en la hechura de políticas” y de la necesidad de fortalecer las agencias ciudadanas, el texto pretende abonar a tres campos del conocimiento: i) los vínculos entre la investigación y las políticas públicas; ii) la participación social en la “vigilancia” de la educación, y iii) la gobernanza del sistema educativo, esto último, especialmente en un escenario como el mexicano donde el derecho a la educación es difícilmente exigible y justiciable.
Saberes digitales de estudiantes universitarios de pueblos originarios en México
Authors: Guzmán Games Francisco Javier , Velázquez Marco
Published: January 2021

Se presentan los resultados de una investigación educativa, cuyo objetivo, entre otros, fue medir diez saberes digitales de estudiantes matriculados en la Universidad Intercultural del Estado de Puebla, ubicada en la Sierra Norte de Puebla. Para su consecución se aplicó el cuestionario “Percepción y uso de las TIC” a una muestra de estudiantes de comunidades totonacas, nahuas, mazatecas, popolocas, otomíes, mixtecas, y también, a algunos mestizos. Entre los resultados obtenidos, se aprecia una incorporación incipiente de saberes digitales para el manejo de sistemas digitales, la manipulación de contenido digital, la comunicación y socialización en entornos digitales y el manejo de información. Por lo tanto, se enfatiza que el acceso a la infraestructura digital es necesario, pero insuficiente cuando no hay una alfabetización tecnológica asociada.
Políticas implementadas por el gobierno mexicano frente al COVID-19. El caso de la educación básica
Authors: Navarrete Cazales Zaira , Manzanilla Granados Héctor Manuel , Ocaña Pérez Lorena
Published: January 2021

El presente artículo es resultado de una investigación de corte cualitativo con sustento teórico-analítico que tiene por objetivo analizar las políticas educativas implementadas por el gobierno Mexicano, frente al SARS-CoV-2 que causa la enfermedad del Covid-19, y que provocó el periodo de aislamiento social. Particularmente, se analizarán los documentos y comunicados emitidos por la SEP para la educación básica, así como los efectos de las plataformas virtuales y recursos digitales disponibles para la continuidad de las clases desde casa. Se concluye que existe una escasa cultura en Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación por parte de la población escolar, así como carencias en conectividad y disponibilidad de tecnología aplicable a la educación, y que se hace necesario replantear el currículo actual para educación básica, lo mismo que las prácticas docentes, para con ello centrarse en nuevos modelos educativos capaces de afrontar no sólo una crisis como la actual, generada por la pandemia de Covid-19, sino como opciones viables para formar para la vida, para la ciudadanía y la solidaridad.
Más allá de la casa sin nombre. Nuevos estudios: Arahal
Authors: Pérez Cano María Teresa , Gómez Martínez Vidal , Del Espino Hidalgo Blanca
Published: January 2021

Frente a los estudios generalizados de la arquitectura singular, de autor o con un amplio reconocimiento social, investigaciones sobre temas como la casa tradicional han sido más minoritarias. Trabajos realizados por los autores en los últimos años han permitido identificar y caracterizar una tipología de casa popular que se encontraba hasta entonces englobada en tipologías genéricas con las que comparte ciertos elementos pero en la que tienen cabida casas de diversa índole. Se trata de una casa asociada a los crecimientos y densificaciones de los tejidos urbanos medievales durante la época moderna en la provincia de Sevilla y territorios limítrofes, llegando en plenitud de uso hasta la primera mitad del siglo XX cuando cae en desuso por los cambios tecnológicos en el ámbito agropecuario. Esta casa ocupa parcelas de poco frente y mucho fondo, conformándose mediante cuerpos - normalmente de doble crujía - paralelos a fachada que se alternan con espacios libres interiores, mediante la secuencia tipológica constituida por un cuerpo de fachada, un patio, un cuerpo intermedio y un corral de fondo. Todo el conjunto se registra mediante un sistema de pasos independientes - zaguán y paso intermedio - que salvan las estancias de servidumbres de paso para permitir el acceso de animales y aperos de forma limpia hasta el corral.Tras el trabajo inicial titulado “La casa sin nombre. Una casa popular tradicional en la provincia de Sevilla” se han continuado los trabajos de investigación ampliando el ámbito de estudio y actualizando fuentes y referencias a partir del mismo procedimiento metodológico basado en el reconocimiento de esta arquitectura a través de publicaciones especializadas y sobre todo en el análisis de los contenidos de los Planes Especiales de Protección de los Conjuntos Históricos mediante un proceso de parametrización común de la información de los diferente planes.Concretamente, este trabajo se centra en el análisis del Plan Especial de Protección del Conjunto Histórico de Arahal, municipio de la provincia de Sevilla con un amplísimo caserío caracterizado por la conservación de su arquitectura popular doméstica donde se localiza claramente esta casa popular de zaguán, patio y corral.
Visiones heterodoxas. Una propuesta de musealización del patrimonio arqueológico tartesio de Huelva
Authors: González-Campos Baeza Yolanda
Published: January 2021

Considerar el patrimonio arqueológico como un objeto de estudio poliédrico que construye su identidad a través de sus valores científicos y de aquellos otros que se le añaden en el proceso de construcción patrimonial, implica interpretarlo en un espacio antropizado en el que se han tejido una serie de relaciones entre el territorio y la sociedad que lo habita, por lo que su investigación debe realizarse desde una perspectiva holística. Este planteamiento ha sido el punto de partida para diseñar una estrategia de estudio que permita identificar cómo se ha conformado el patrimonio arqueológico de época tartesia en la ciudad de Huelva, con el fin de establecer las líneas básicas de actuación para su difusión. En esta propuesta el Museo se posiciona como instrumento de comunicación entre la investigación arqueológica y la ciudadanía, desde donde se estructuran los elementos reconocidos para configurar un discurso expositivo que pueda responder a las exigencias de un museo del siglo XXI, y lo sitúen como un lugar abierto al debate y a la participación ciudadana, siempre interconectado con su territorio. De esta forma, el patrimonio arqueológico se convierte, no sólo en un elemento conformador de nuestro pasado, sino también de nuestro presente y futuro.

Desde etapas muy tempranas, es un objeto codiciado y buscado, tanto desde el punto de ornamental como simbólico, dentro y fuera de la Península Ibérica. En este trabajo haremos un breve recorrido sobre este patrimonio cultural, tanto material como inmaterial, en vías de extinción con importantes conexiones históricas y culturales en diversas partes del mundo.
El conjunto histórico de Talavera de la Reina (Toledo): Balance y perspectivas
Authors: De la Llave Muñoz Sergio
Published: January 2021

Talavera de la Reina ha conservado una ingente cantidad de edificaciones monumentales, a los que se añaden otros inmuebles y espacios de singular interés. Todo ello, llevó en 2016 a varios colectivos a considerar que la ciudad reunía requisitos suficientes para lograr la declaración de Conjunto Histórico. La declaración fue obtenida el pasado mes de febrero de 2019. No obstante, pese a los logros alcanzados, es necesario trazar una estrategia encaminada a crear herramientas y mecanismos destinados a gestionar de forma óptima el Conjunto Histórico. Resulta imprescindible redactar un nuevo Plan Especial destinado a resolver cuestiones como la uniformidad de diferentes elementos del paisaje urbano -mobiliario, cartelerías, sistemas de iluminación, pavimentos…-, establecer criterios sobre el empleo de cerámica artística sobre fachadas, la cesión de alturas a cambio de la conservación de restos arqueológicos, peatonalización de calles o temas de señalización. A ello se suma la necesaria adopción de medidas correctoras sobre fachadas u elementos discordantes con inmuebles o espacios protegidos. Esta serie de acciones requiere la creación de mejoras administrativas o un órgano destinado a centralizar las gestiones relacionadas.
Journalisme et politique en Côte d’Ivoire (années 1930-1964)
Authors: Fierens Marie
Published: January 2021

Cet article met en évidence les modes de formation et de transformations de la profession de journaliste de presse écrite, en Côte d’Ivoire, depuis la brève parution du premier journal créé par des Africains, en 1935, jusqu’à l’émergence, en 1964, du quotidien national Fraternité-Matin. Il se nourrit de la sociologie du journalisme pour mettre en lumière les multiples relations que les journalistes ivoiriens ont entretenu avec la sphère politique et pour inscrire leur biographie au cœur du mouvement continu qui a façonné la profession. Le parcours de Félix Houphouët-Boigny – premier président de la Côte d’Ivoire, très tôt investi dans le secteur de la presse – et de Laurent Dona Fologo – premier rédacteur en chef du premier quotidien ivoirien et, depuis, acteur connu de la scène politique ivoirienne – sont pris en compte dans cette perspective.

Pathogenesis and prevention of pressure ulcer
Authors: Doh Gyeonghyeon , Heo Chan Yeong
Published: January 2021

The number of pressure ulcer patients is increasing owing to the aging population and increased incidence of elderly illness. This review article aims to introduce the current knowledge on the pathogenesis and prevention of pressure ulcers. The development of a pressure ulcer is associated with external factors such as pressure, shear stress, and friction and internal factors such as age, general condition, skin condition, and nutritional status. Pressure ulcers typically develop over bone protrusions, which are most pressured by weight, but may also be caused by external pressure by medical devices or other objects applied to the patient. This tissue damage is caused by continuous deformation of the tissue due to the pressure acting perpendicular to the tissue surface and shear stress acting parallel to the tissue, either alone or in combination. Limitation of activity and mobility, skin condition, blood circulation and oxygen saturation, nutrition, humidity, body temperature, age, low pain sensitivity, blood count, and general and mental conditions are the primary risk factors for pressure ulcers. A mattress and cushion that reduce pressure and an appropriate posture are necessary to prevent pressure ulcers. In patients with urinary incontinence, contaminated skin should be washed with a mild detergent and absorbent pads and topical protective agents should be used to protect the skin from moisture. Sufficient nutrition may help prevent wounds in patients who are susceptible to pressure ulcers. Furthermore, early screening, individualized management of posture, and regular skin and nutrition monitoring are essential to prevent pressure ulcers.

Comparison of Turkish Elementary School Science Curriculum: 2005-2013-2017
Authors: Şentürk Cihad , AYDOĞMUŞ Mevlüt
Published: January 2021

Change is an inevitable reality of life. The developments in the world affect the qualities expected from individuals and this reflects on the educational systems. For this reason, the high competitiveness of the countries in the international arena requires that the education systems comply with the requirements of the age. In Turkey, it is seen that the curriculum has been changed in various times since the announcement of the Republic. In 2005, a major change was done and the curriculum was prepared in line with the philosophical and structural approach as well as the the requirements of the age. These programs were updated in 2013 by reviewing the 4 + 4 + 4 education system which was designed in 2012. In 2017, the curriculum has been updated with stakeholder’s feedback in line with the problems faced by previously developed programs and practices. In this context, the aim of the study is to compare the elementary school science curriculums which were prepared based on the constructivist approach in 2005, updated in 2013 and re-revised in 2017, and to reveal their similarities and differences. In the study, the elementary school science curriculums (2005-2013-2017) were compared by investigating in terms of basic philosophy of the curriculum, the general aims of the curriculum, key competences in the curriculum, and the approaches during the teaching situations, the evaluation process, the subject areas, the achievements and the course hours. The research was carried out by document analyzing method of qualitative research methods. As a result of the study, we found out that while there was not much difference between primary school sciences curriculums in 2013 and 2017, there was a great deal of differences between the 2005 curriculum and the 2013 and 2017 curriculum especially in the number of achievements and course hours.
Measuring Values in Modern School System
Authors: SALLEH Amla
Published: January 2021

Teaching values in modern schools is a new phenomenon. Malaysian national curriculum at both primary and secondary school levels ensures that students develop desirable attitudes and behaviors based on human, religious, and spiritual values. The inculcation of the values is made possible through various subjects and non-academic subjects and students’ activities. However, knowledge about values education remains limited because there is no measurement device to assess the extent of values teaching in school. To fill this gap, the present study was designed to develop and examine the psychometric properties of an instrument measuring values teaching schools.  Using data from 400 high school students, the study developed and validated a measure called Malaysia School Values Scale (MSVS) tailored to high school students in Malaysia. A robust analysis of Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) in Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) provides a rigorous analysis of the model power in relation to construct and content validity, confirming the dimension and analyzing the fitness of the data collected in the hypothesized model. This paper provides insight construct and  content analysis using the CFA approach to consider the 15 school values constructs. To achieve the intended research objective, the 15 school values were explored. The results provide evidence that the MSVS achieved sound psychometric properties. The overall reliability value of Cronbach’s Alpha was acceptable. The CFA results showed that the goodness-of-fit indices for the hypothesized model were as follows: x2 (182) = 627.269, p = 0.00, x2/DF = 3.409, GFI = 0.852; AGFI = 0.814, CFI = 0.92; IFI = 0.921, RMSEA = 0.077. Each of the indices was above the threshold value. Results imply that MSVS is a valid measure to describe the school values among high school students. However, more studies are recommended to further validate the scale.
Meaningful Learning and The Integration of Responsible Management Education in the Business School Courses
Authors: Gadelshina Gyuzel , Vemury Chandra , Attar Arif
Published: January 2021

In recent years there has been an increasing interest in responsible management education. Integration of the principles of responsible management education (PRME) within the core curricula of business schools and management education-related institutions calls for the creation of innovative pedagogies and educational approaches. Responding to the inherent challenges associated with the development and implementation of education for sustainability within existing business‐related education, this paper seeks to discuss a teaching initiative of introducing Model United Nations (Model UN) as a classroom activity for undergraduate students. The main purpose of research presented in this paper is to explore students’ experience of engaging in Model UN debates around topics related to the sustainable development goals as defined in the UN 2030 Agenda for sustainable development (for example, youth unemployment, climate change, poverty, etc.). Model UN is traditionally known as an extra-curricular educational simulation of the United Nations where students play their roles as delegates from different countries and endeavour to solve real world issues using the policies and perspectives of their assigned country as well as policies and procedures of the United Nations. In this paper Model UN is proposed as a classroom engagement activity which assists undergraduate students in recognising the complexity of international negotiations and reflecting on challenges associated with the decision making process and how it affects the sustainability agenda on the individual and societal level. This paper seeks to provide a useful insight into the practical value of Model UN simulation as a means to facilitate meaningful learning on the course. It is suggested that experience of introducing Model UN as a core curricular activity, rather than one that is extra-curricular, will be of particular interest for educators who are involved in delivering sustainability-related courses or wishing to teach sustainability-related topics in globally responsible business-related education programs for undergraduate students.

Authors: Belkayalı Nur , GÜLOĞLU Yavuz
Published: January 2021

Urban historical environments are one of the most prominent and effective ones of some components to whom citizens can consubstantiate themselves to cities, and give identity to them and time perspective to living spaces of the cities. These areas are not only the histories of a society but also its memory, culture and even future. Therefore, the conservation of urban protected areas is not just a responsibility for local people living in these areas also a responsibility for all society. Conserving and ensuring sustainability of these areas is just possible with a process on which area participants involve.In order for the area shareholders to play an effective role in this process, they should be aware of the benefit of the area for them. It is continuously emphasized in the studies that education is important in providing this awareness. In the scope of this study, it is tried to be identified how the education levels of people who live in and around Kastamonu Protected area, who visit and administrate Kastamonu affects the perspective of the protection of this area. It is identified that the view that the protection of the area negatively affects the life of the shareholders is inversely related to the education level by evaluating 376 questionnaire studies with regression analysis. It is considered that the perception that the increase in education level positively affect the life conditions of protected areas, and protecting these kinds of areas gain favor to all shareholders and become easier and more sustainable.
An Application of Cognitive Diagnosis Modeling in TIMSS: A Comparison of Intuitive Definitions of Q-Matrices
Authors: Evran Derya
Published: January 2021

Detection of students’ ability levels is one of the common aims in educational studies. Cognitive Diagnosis Modeling approach has been used recently for the purpose of ability level detection by defined Q-matrices. This paper aims to use Cognitive Diagnosis Modeling (CDM) in order to investigate the definition of a Q-matrix across the cognitive skills of different years and countries in TIMSS. There is a subjective way in defining Q-matrices; for this purpose, an application of building Q-matrices under specific CDMs, from a set of expert proposed attributes is examined. The proposed attributes are used to build Q-matrices for TIMSS mathematics questions across its cycles, and across different nations.

Authors: Mohamed Tamer , A Askar Ashraf , Chahed Jamila
Published: January 2021

Background: Blood stream infections are major leading causes of morbidity and mortality
in hospitalized patients. Increasing the awareness of the clinicians and nurses about the
proper protocol of blood culture test is very important in reducing the contamination rate
and the unnecessary requesting of blood culture. Objectives: to reduce the contamination
rate and the unnecessary requesting of blood culture from different departments through
implementation of hospital wide Quality Improvement Project (QIP). Methodology: Blood
cultures were tested in the Microbiology Laboratory of Najran Armed Forces hospital,
Saudi Arabia, in the period from June 2019 to July 2020 and their results were compared
before and after the implementation of the QIP. Results: The comparison between the blood
cultures results before and after QIP implementation showed statistically significant
(19.6%) reduction in the contamination rate, (14%) reduction in the total number of blood
culture requests and (11.6%) reduction in the negative results rate. Conclusion: The
reduction in the total number, negative results and contamination rate of blood culture test
after QIP implementation were considered as performance indicators that the
recommendations of QIP were effective and implemented strictly.
Detection of Biofilm and Siderophore Encoding Genes Implicated in the Pathogenesis of Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated from Different Clinical Specimens
Authors: S. Naga Iman , Ghazal Abeer , S. Alomari Saif , Gaballah Ahmed
Published: January 2021

Background: Biofilm and siderophores protect K. pneumoniae, making them resistant to
antimicrobials and increase the ability to evade immune system. Objective: The aim of
the present study was to detect some of the virulence genes responsible for biofilm
formation and siderophore production implicated in the pathogenesis of K. pneumoniae.
Methodology: Crystal violet method was used to detect biofilm phenotypically,
hypermucoviscosity by string test and virulence genes were detected by PCR. Results:
Phenotypically, biofilm formation was positive in 76% and negative in 24%.
Genotypically, FimH and ycfm were detected in 100% of isolates while mrkD in 98%.
Kfu, entB and iutA were found in 100%, 68% and 34% respectively. Phenotypically by
string test 66% of isolates were classified as hypermucoviscous, while 34% as classical.
rmpA gene was detected in 52% of isolates. Conclusion: FimH, mrkD, ycfm, Kfu and
iutA genes are implicated in multisystemic infection of K. pneumoniae. Enterobactin
gene is more predominant than other siderophore genes.
Virulence Factors Associated with Quinolone Resistance in Proteus Species Isolated from Patients with Urinary Tract Infection
Authors: S. El-Kazzaz Samah , M. Mahmoud Noha
Published: January 2021

Background: Proteus is an important causative organism of urinary system infections.
The invasive nature of Proteus is supported by expression of multiple virulence factors;
the infection outcome gets worse when those virulent isolates acquire antibiotic resistant
determinants. Objectives: The present study was aiming at isolation of Proteus from
urine of patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs) and to assess the relation between
virulence factors expression and presence of quinolones resistance genes in those
isolates. Methodology: Quinolone resistant Proteus isolates were chosen for detection of
quinolone resistance genes, also they were tested for presence of different virulence
factors. Results: Sixty eight quinolone resistant Proteus isolates were determined.
aac(6′)- Ib-cr was the most frequently detected quinolone resistance gene.
Haemagglutination, haemolytic activity, protease production and biofilm formation were
documented in 79.4%, 76.5%, 70.6% and 83.8% of the isolates respectively.
Conclusion: Proteus isolated from urine displayed many virulence factors and harbored
a variety of quinolone resistance genes.

Published: January 2021

Background: Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease associated with having excess body
fat that could be influenced by many factors. Our study aimed to assess the powerful
effect of Lactobacillus acidophilus alone or combined (symbiotic) with Prebiotic such as
Ginger, Pineapple and Green Coffee as anti-obesity agents. Methodology: Using 8
groups (10 rats each) of Sprague-Dawley rats, Group 1 was kept as a negative control,
Group 2 positive control, while other groups were orally given Lactobacillus
acidophilus, Ginger, Pineapple and Green Coffee individually and in combination with
Probiotics, for 45 days till the end of the experiment while the body weight of rats was
recorded.Blood samples were collected for biochemical parameters analysis and organs
were dissected and homogenized to analyze obesity-related biomarkers, Results: Our
results revealed that either individual or mixed administration of this pro and prebiotics
decreased the body and organs, specifically those treated with the mixture or probiotic
and prebiotic, also serum (HDL), CAT), and (SOD) was decreased (P <0.05), while
other biochemical parameters (T.G), (CHOL), (U.A), (Creat), Urea, (GOT),(GPT) and
(ALP); ( significantly (P<0.05) was decreased when compared with the positive control
group, Nevertheless, the histopathological examination showed the reduction of adipose
tissue in kidney, liver, and Pancreas showed overestimate reductions in the percentage
of body fat. Conclusions: This study showed a promising effect of Lactobacillus
acidophilus when it combined with these plants as natural feed additives on obesity.
