Published: February 2024

Background: Escherichia coli is bacteria that exist as commensal in the intestine of animals and humans, but pathogenic strains cause disease in chickens. The growth of antimicrobial resistance in E. coli is one of major concern worldwide. Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence, and Multi drug resistance profile and determine the potential risk factor of E. coli isolates from chickens and chicken’s environment in Sendafa town, central Ethiopia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out from January to August 2023 in Sendafa town. Purposive sampling techniques were used based on the presence of clinical symptoms suggestive of E. coli in chicken farms. Different types of samples were collected including 207 cloacae swabs, 8 feed, and 8 water from different farms. E. coli isolation and identification were done using bacterial culture, and biochemical, and confirmed using the Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS). Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) was done using the Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method. Data were entered in Microsoft Excel and analyzed with descriptive statistics using SPSS version 20. Result: Out of a total of 223 samples of cloacae swab, feed, and water 71 (31.83 %) were found to be E. coli suspected by biochemical and finally confirmed with Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS). All confirmed isolates were subjected to 12 antimicrobial agents to check their susceptibility. From 71 tested Escherichia coli isolates we found resistant patterns of E. coli to 62(87.3%) Amoxicillin, 44(62%) Tetracycline, and 39(54.9%) Streptomycin respectively. Multi-drug resistance was observed in this study for two or more than resistant detected. Some isolate was sensitive to 60(84.5%) Trimethoprim Sulphamethoxazole, 57(80.3%) Norfloxacin, 56(78.9 %) Ceftriaxone, and 53(74.6%) Meropenem respectively. Intermediate antibiotics were observed on 32(45.1 %) Sulfonamides, and 23(32.4%) Gentamicin for Escherichia coli isolate. Risk factors were analyzed with descriptive statistics. In the study, the difference in E. coli prevalence by age and among sample types was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Between kebele and farm, there was a statistically significant difference in E. coli prevalence (P <0.05). Conclusion: In this study, a high incidence of E. coli and antibiotic resistance to commonly used antibiotics including Amoxicillin, Tetracycline, and Streptomycin in poultry were found. This implies that there is the existence of practices that accelerate antimicrobial resistance in the sampled chickens therefore, appropriate use of antimicrobial agents, good biosecurity measures, and hygiene practices in chicken farms are important.

Sero-Prevalence, Epidemiology, and Public Health Significance of Small Ruminant Brucellosis
Authors:   BioRes Scientia LLC, Adere Teshale
Published: February 2024

Brucellosis is a widespread zoonosis mainly transmitted from cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and camels through direct contact with blood, placenta fetuses, or uterine secretion or through consumption of the contaminated raw animal product (especially unpasteurized milk and soft cheeses) in endemic areas. Therefore, the objective of this paper are to explain the Current Epidemiological Aspects of Brucellosis and the Importance of Small ruminant Brucellosis for Public Health and briefly illustrate the Economic Importance of Small ruminant Brucellosis. Sources of infection include aborted fetuses, fetal membranes, vaginal discharges and milk from infected sheep and goat. Brucellosis is caused by facultative, intracellular and Gram- negative bacteria called Brucella. Small ruminant brucellosis is caused by B. ovis (for sheep) and B. melitensis (mainly for goats), the latter one is the most virulent species of the Brucella genus. The disease in naturally infected sheep and goats is characterized by abortion in the last trimester of pregnancy, stillbirth and birth of weak offspring in females, and acute orchitis and epididymitis in males. Brucellosis occurs worldwide in domestic animals such as cattle, sheep, goats, camels and pigs and creates a high economic problem for both the intensive and extensive livestock production system in the tropics and a threat to public health. Diagnostic tests fall into two categories: those that demonstrate the presence of the organisms and those that detect an immune response to its antigens. As a general rule, treatment of infected livestock is not attempted because of the high treatment failure rate, cost, and potential problems related to maintaining infected animals in the face of ongoing eradication programs. To control the disease in human, prevention of the disease in reservoir host is important, so test and slaughter followed by proper disposal of seropositive animals to decrease the incidence of infection and effective vaccination and hygienic practices would reduce the disease spreading in/from endemic regions and to lessen the economic and zoonotic effects of brucellosis, the government, public health officials, and veterinarians must collaborate.

Published: February 2024

Background: Utilization of maternal healthcare services is a fundamental health intervention for preventing maternal morbidity and mortality. Despite its importance, the utilization of maternal healthcare services in Ethiopia is low, especially in rural pastoralist communities. Thus, this study aimed to assess maternal healthcare services utilizations and its associated factors in the Liben district of Guji zone, Oromia region, Southern Ethiopia. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted with 416 randomly identified mothers in Liben in September, 2020. The respondents were mothers who had given birth 12 months prior to the survey. The data were collected using interviewer administered questionnaires. The data were entered into Epi-data version 4.1 and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Descriptive, bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were also performed. Result: Sixty percent of mothers had received antenatal care at least once. In this study, only 21.2% and 17.5% of women had delivered their babies at health institutions and utilized early postnatal care services respectively. Maternal education [AOR=2.43(95%CI: 1.22–4.89)], decision making power [AOR=2.40(95% CI: 1.3–23.3)], perceived compassionate & respectful care [AOR=0.30(95%CI: 0.18–0.50)], and planned current pregnancy [AOR=0.22(95% CI: 0.12–0.37)] were significantly associated with utilization of antenatal care. Mother’s age [AOR=3.73(95% CI: 1.53–6.04)], time to travel to health facilities [AOR=1.74(95% CI:1.02– 3.08)], knowledge of danger signs [AOR=3.77(95% CI:2.16–6.57)] and perceived compassionate and respectful care were significantly associated with institutional delivery, whereas recent antenatal care utilization[AOR=5.34(95%CI:1.96–8.65)], planned current pregnancy and knowledge of danger signs [AOR=2.93(95%CI:1.59–5.41)] were found to be significantly associated with postnatal care utilization. Conclusion: Overall, the prevalence of maternal healthcare services utilization was far below the national and regional targets in the study area. Therefore, considering the identified associated factors and providing information and training on these issues to the community could improve and sustain maternal healthcare services utilization.

Introduction: Guillian Barre'-Syndrome (GBS) is an acute, autoimmune disease affecting spinal roots and peripheral nerves, characterized by a rapidly progressive, ascending weakness of the extremity, trunk and even respiratory and facial muscles and with minor sensory and autonomic dysfunction. As in Sudan there is no enough data regarding the pattern of presentation and outcome of GBS, our research aimed to study clinical profile, electrophysiological variant, and outcome of Sudanese patients diagnosed with (GBS). Methods: A multi centers cross-sectional hospital-based study conducted in Khartoum from March to September 2020, 62 patients enrolled in the study, structured questionnaire consists of personal data, clinical history, examination findings, electrophysiological study result, management and outcome is used to assess the clinical profile and outcome of the disease. Results: The study revealed that males and females are equally represented, 70% patients are between 18 years and 50 years. The onset of the weakness was less than or equal 3 days in 33.9% of patients, from 4 to 7 days in 41.9%, from 8 to 14 days in 11.3% and above 14 days in 12.9%.40.3% patients had Evidence of autonomic dysfunction. The majority of patients presented with weakness that started in the lower limbs (93.5%), in (4.8%) the weakness started in the upper limbs and then descend. In (1.6%) the weakness started in the pharyngeal and respiratory muscles from the start. Sensory complains were observed in 54 patients (87.1%), 3 patients (4.8%) developed urinary bladder incontinence and 36 patients (58.1%) had back pain at the onset of the disease. On clinical examination; (98.4%) of patients had absent reflexes, (35.5%) had bilateral facial nerve palsy and (4.8%) had unilateral facial nerve pals. Based on the electrophysiological studies, (37.09 %) were recorded as acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN), (29.03%) as acute inflammatory demyelinating poly neuropathy (AIDP) and (29.03%) as acute motor-sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN). Regarding the outcome, 30 patients (48.4%) fully recovered, 25 patients (40.3%) recovered with motor deficit, and 7 patients (11.3%) unfortunately died. Conclusion: This study concluded that Guillian Barre'-Syndrome (GBS) in Sudanese population mainly affects age group from 18 to 50 years with variable maximum onset of weakness, presentation and outcome. Lower limb weakness and absent reflexes were the most presenting features. NCS showed axonal type of GBS found to be in nearly 66% of patients and 40% showed clinical evidence of dysautonomia.

Intrathecal Opioids for Non-Emergent Cesarian Section In Latin American Women: A Retrospective Cohort Study (Re-Mice Study)
Authors:   BioRes Scientia LLC, Ariza Fredy
Published: February 2024

Background: Common use of intrathecal opioids for cesarean sections has been limited due to reported adverse events, despite their significant role in postoperative analgesia. It has been suggested that a dose reduction could potentially reduce adverse effects without affecting efficacy of postoperative analgesia. Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the most frequently used intrathecal opioid doses by Latin-American women who underwent non-emergent cesarean sections at a reference center and reported adverse events during the first 6, 12, and 24 hours after administration. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a cohort of women that underwent non-emergent cesarean sections under spinal anesthesia during the period of January 2011 to June 2014. The associations between different doses of intrathecal morphine (≤50; 51-75; 76-100 and 101-150 mcg) with and without intrathecal fentanyl (20-25 mcg) and pruritus, postoperative nausea/vomiting, and respiratory depression probabilities were assessed using a uni-bivariate proportional hazards model and a multivariate logistic model. Results: Out of 1,405 patients treated with any type of intrathecal opioid for cesarean section, 1,314 (93.5%) received intrathecal morphine. We detected a significant association between pruritus probability and intrathecal morphine dose during the first 6 postoperative hours. There was no correlation between postoperative nausea/vomiting occurrence and increasing intrathecal morphine doses. Conclusions: Intrathecal morphine 50 to 150 mcg and intrathecal fentanyl 20 to 25 mcg are effective and safe. During the first 6 postoperative hours, pruritus, but not postoperative nausea/vomiting, shows a significant correlation with intrathecal morphine doses of 75 to 100 mcg.
Transcriptomics Analysis of Stromal Breast Cancer Tissues Reveals Up-Regulation of GABA-A Receptor Activity
Authors:   BioRes Scientia LLC, Vaja Rutvi
Published: February 2024

Breast cancer is the second most prevalent cancer overall among newly diagnosed cases and the most common cancer among women. 90% of cancer deaths are caused by metastasis, which is a factor that precedes local invasion, but very little is understood about the molecular mechanisms of invasion and metastasis. Thus, uncovering the root causes of this illness at the Transcriptomics level may result in a cutting-edge method of treating breast cancer. The total RNA microarray processed data from GEO for breast cancer patients was analyzed to discover hidden differences between epithelial breast cancer tissues (ET), stromal breast cancer tissues (ST), normal control epithelial breast cancer tissue samples (EC), and normal control stromal breast cancer tissue samples (SC) at the Transcriptomics level. Therefore, multiple bioinformatics analyses of the transcriptional profiles of 64 samples—including 28 TEC, 28 SCC, 5 EN, and 5 SN controls—received from the NCBI-Bio project were performed in the current study (PRJNA107497). First, ET versus EC and ST vs SC samples showed significant patterns in exploratory data analysis based on gene expression data using principal component analysis (PCA). Following this, 13512 substantially differentially expressed genes (Fold change (>= 1.5), p.adj value 0.1) between these conditions were found by Welch's T-test differential gene expression analysis. This study identifies the main element that may significantly contribute to the spread of breast cancer from epithelial cells to stromal cells in the mammary glands as the gene like the GBRP. This study was also able to identify the affected biological pathways for both the ST vs. SC samples and the ET vs. EC samples as a result of the up-regulated and down-regulated genes. This most surely provides a crucial hint about the cause of the deadly metastatic cancer problem. Finally, the results presented here provide novel insights on breast cancer metastasis.

Published: February 2024

Sexsomnia, also known as sleep sex, is a type of sleep disorder known as parasomnia. Parasomnias refer to unusual sensations and behaviors, such as sleepwalking, that people may experience during sleep. In the case of sex, people perform sexual behaviors such as masturbation, sexual movements, sexual assault, or initiating sex with another person. Although their eyes may be open and they may make sexual sounds, they are asleep during these activities and are unaware of their behavior upon awakening. Research on the causes of sexual insomnia is limited, but experts have found that it is associated with a wide range of underlying conditions and risk factors, including: other parasomnias, such as sleepwalking and REM behavior disorder, obstructive sleep apnea, seizures sleep disorders, Kline-Lewin syndrome, chronic insomnia, restless legs syndrome, narcolepsy, persistent sexual arousal syndrome, sleep-related disorders, nocturnal psychotic disorders, teeth grinding.

Authors:   BioRes Scientia LLC, Touyz Louis Z.G.
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Most dentistry is practiced in small private practices, but also in large Institutional clinics. Treatment is usually by appointment, yet often patients present unexpectedly, frequently distressed, complaining and claiming problems arising from their teeth. Suffering derived from oro-dental diseases manifests in many different ways. Aim: This appraisal groups common dentally related emergencies into six fundamental categories: Pain, Infection, Trauma, Hemorrhage, Allergy, Oncology, and assists with urgent decision-taking for therapy. Most dental treatment is elective and any reaction to dental procedures are usually constrained, controlled or prevented. Each category reviews approaches and in principle determines what policies of practice need to be implemented. A precis of serious emergencies that may precipitate with patients while in a dental operatory is indicated. Conclusion: This grouping of walk-in- emergencies guides clinicians to quickly decide on treatment, and which presentation demands immediate attention. The need for follow-up management and prophylaxis is stressed.

Published: February 2024

Background: Postacne atrophic scars (PAS) are a common acne consequence. When paired with a fractional CO2 laser, topical insulin and PRP may both help. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of a fractional CO2 laser plus PRP versus a fractional CO2 laser with TI in the management of PAS. Methods: This research was conducted on 20 patients suffering from PA atrophic scars. Enrolled patients received four sessions of FCL plus topical PRP in addition to FCL+ topical insulin on left as well as right sides of the face, respectively, at monthly intervals. One month following the fourth session, the last assessment was completed. Side effects were recorded. Patients were encouraged to use photoprotective precautions. Results: There was a statistically significant difference of acne scar grade post treatment between right and left side. Higher improvement is detected among right side treatment than left side. There was a statistically considerable difference between studied groups regarding improvement degree between both sides. For right side 10% excellent improvement, 65% good and 25% fair improvement versus 75% fair improvement and 25% good improvement for left side (P=0.001*). Conclusions: In PAS of skin-of-color populations, TI and PRP coupled with Fractional CO2 laser may both provide improvement with an excellent safety profile. However, the ease of access, low cost, and noninvasive characteristics of TI make it preferable to PRP. The degree of improvement was statistically considerably greater with TI than with PRP (P=0.001*).
The Limits of Public Participation
Authors: Deng Mark
Published: February 2024

In this piece, I critique the proposed people-driven constitution-making process in South Sudan, identifying some challenges that may hinder meaningful participation by the people. One is mass illiteracy: over 70% of the population is illiterate. This can impact the people’s capacity to meaningfully engage with some of the complex issues that may arise from the process. Another factor is that involving the people could exacerbate existing ethnic tensions in the country, as constitution-making is inherently divisive. My suggestion is to entrust the process to experts with oversight by parliament.

Tanah menjadi alat produksi paling vital di dalam masyarakat, yang  menghasilkan kebutuhan primer. Ketika  masyarakat kehilangan tanahnya maka peluang untuk jatuh ke dalam jurang kemiskinan dan kesenjangan sosial semakin terbuka lebar.  Di Indonesia tidak sedikit konflik agraria, terkhusus konflik tanah yang bermasalah seperti Di Desa Bah Damar, Kecamatan Dolok Marawan dimana tingkat kesadaran hukum masyarakat dalam kepemilikan tanah sangat minim sehingga tanah yang dilindungi dirampas oleh pihak luar. Kepemilikan sertifikat sebagai bukti penguasaan hak atas tanah telah menjadi hal yang sangat penting untuk terus dilakukan sosialisasi sebagai upaya penyadaran terhadap masyarakat. Bahwa kepemilikan sertifikat tidak sekedar terpenuhinya syarat administrative, dan bukti formil, namun sebagai jaminan kepastian hukum. Tujuan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat ini untuk memberi kesadaran hukum pentingnya mempertahankan hak milik tanah dan memberi pengetahuan kepada masyarakat tentang perlindungan hukum hak atas tanah dalam melindungi kepemilikan tanah. Pengabdian ini dilaksanakan secara empiris dengan interaksi secara langsung kepada masyarakat dengan pendekatan sosialisasi hukum. Hasil pelaksanaan pengabdian berjalan baik dengan antusias masyarakat yang begitu besar, dimana masyarakat sudah memahami dan sadar dalam melindungi hak milik atas tanah berdasarkan Undang-Undang No. 5 Tahun 1960 tentang Pokok Agraria. Pengabdian ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan ilmu dan memberi kesadaran masyarakat sejak dini atas hak milik tanah yang mengacu pada peraturan perundang-undangan.

Proses pembuatan tempe membutuhkan waktu yang lama sekitar 72 jam. Proses awal dimulai dari perendaman  biji  kedelai  dan  sampai  akhir  melalui  proses  fermentasi.  Dimana  pada  proses  perendaman biasanya membutuhkan waktu sekitar 24 jam. Lamanya proses perendaman ini menjadi kendala dalam proses pembuatan  tempe.  Adapun  tujuan  dari  perendaman  adalah  untuk  membuat  biji  kedelai  memiliki  kondisi asam. Pada biji kedelai dengan kondisi asam inilah fermentasi kedelai bisa terjadi sehingga protein kedelai akan meningkat pada tempe. Tempe memiliki kadar protein yang tinggi sehingga tempe menjadi makanan yang bergizi dan sehat. Dengan adanya  pemanfaatan kulit nenas pada perendaman biji kedelai mampu mempercepat proses pembentukan kondisi asam pada biji kedelai dengan lama waktu perendaman 6 jam diperoleh pH = 5.   Dengan menambahkan air rendaman ini mampu memberikan peningkatan daya simpan tempe, sehingga nantinya akan mempengaruhi omset dari penjualan mitra. Permasalahan yang ada sebelumnya karena lamanya proses perendaman kedelai, dapat diatasi dengan menambahkan air perasan kulit nenas, sehingga lama proses perendaman menjadi 6 jam.

Validitas dan reliabilitas merupakan alat ukur dalam suatu penelitian. Validitas menilai seberapa akurat alat ukur yang akan digunakan, sedangkan reliabilitas menilai seberapa konsisten alat ukur tersebut. Keakuratan yang diukur validitas meliputi hasil yang sesuai dengan karakteristik, sifat, dan variasi nyata. Keduanya mengacu kepada jumlah keadaan yang mau diukur atau seberapa jumlah informasi tidak ada kaitannya yang ikut pada hasil penelitian. Sedangkan reliabilitas menilai konsistensi metode ukur, artinya apabila terdapat hasil yang serupa dapat dikatakan konsisten jika menggunakan metode atau cara yang serupa dalam kondisi yang sama. Hal tersebut barulah dapat dikatakan andal. Secara mudah, reliabilitas mampu mengulangi hasil tes dengan serupa.  Reliabilitas dapat dikatakan koefesien apabila dapat mengukur seberapa baik uji yang diukur mampu mencapai apa yang diinginkan. Ada beberapa metode yang dapat digunakan untuk uji reliabilitas, yaitu mengulang hasil tes untuk menghasilkan hasil serupa. Dalam hal ini ada yang namanya koefisien reliabilitas, yaitu Cohen’s Alpha, Cronbach’s Alpha, Formula Spearman Brown, Korelasi Pearson.
