Published: August 2020

A schwannoma is a benign tumor that develops from the Schwann cells, which assists conduction of nerve impulses and located in the nerve sheath of peripheral or cranial nerves. Plexiform or multinodular Schwannoma of posterior tibial nerve is a rare presentation, can cause diagnostic dilemma with Lumbosacral radiculopathy, Tarsal tunnel syndrome, Entrapment neuropathy or Chronic regional pain syndrome. Unexplained leg pain, a positive Tinel's sign with or without a palpable swelling and Magnetic Resonance Imaging will clinch the diagnosis after excluding other causes. In symptomatic cases with long standing complaints, surgical resection yields satisfactory outcome. We present an interesting case of plexiform schawannoma along posterior tibial nerve with review of literature.

Authors: Tralsawala Krunal , Umrigar Dipak
Published: August 2020

Background: Clinical diagnosis of early leprosy lesions is important as it is one of the leading causes of physical disabilities which cause social stigma leading to discrimination & isolation. Its diagnosis is based upon detailed cutaneous examination along with peripheral nerves. The objectives were to study associations between reaction types with type of leprosy and various deformities and disabilities relating to treatment for leprosy.

Methods: This is a hospital-based prospective, cross-sectional observational study. 110 clinically diagnosed Leprosy patients with reactions visiting Dermatology OPD were analysed after obtaining informed consent. Participants’ data were collected for demographic criteria, clinical history, past medical history and family history. Clinical examination of a study participant was performed. Collected data was entered in Microsoft excel worksheet and analysed for frequency distribution. 

Results: All subjects were in a mean age of 38.03±14.37 years.13.64% patients had positive family history of leprosy. 59 (53.64%) and 51 (46.36%) cases were of type 1 and type 2 reactions, respectively. Out of 59 patients with type 1 reaction, the most common presenting symptom was inflammation of pre-existing lesion observed in 35 (59.32%) cases while the most common presenting symptom of type 2 reactions was erythema nodosum leprosum seen in 34 (66.67%) cases. Type 1 reaction presented histopathologically as upgrading (67.80%) and downgrading reactions (5.08%). Histopathological finding in type 2 reaction were neutrophillic infiltration with macrophage granuloma seen in 54.90% cases.

Conclusion: It is important to identify reactions associated with leprosy and its treatment as they can significantly alter the morbidity of an affected individual.

Authors: Tenkova N. F. , Eroshevskaya A. E. , Egorova A. A. , Titova E. V. , Tereshonkova T. A.
Published: August 2020

Relevance.Tomato hybrids of the "beef" type are a commodity group characterized by fruits whose mass exceeds 220-240 g. The fruits of this group are distinguished by an attractive aligned shape and color, large size and are in constant demand among consumers. In the assortment of supermarkets and markets, the share of "beef" tomatoes is 10-20% of the total volume.

Methods.The results of studying the characteristics of tomato hybrids allowed us to identify the most valuable characteristics for selection in the selection of "beef" tomatoes. Traditionally, we select donor lines for the signs "fruit weight from 200 g and above", "high yield", "disease resistance". For hybrids of professional use, we also evaluate such characteristics as" fruit density", "high uniformity", "ability to form fruits with high uniformity and marketability throughout the growing season". For hybrids and varieties for the hobby market, the most important characteristics are "High taste qualities", "aroma", "high dry matter content".

Results. As a result of selections based on these characteristics, such hybrids as Rumyani shar F1, Korallovy rif F1 (which are in demand not only in our country, but also in other countries), Katarina F1 were created.

Authors: Gayón Muñoz Adriana Camila , Molina-Montoya Nancy Piedad
Published: August 2020

En los niños, la prescripción de medicamentos para el diagnóstico y tratamiento de patologías de segmento anterior representa un gran reto para los profesionales de la salud, debido a que se requiere de un amplio conocimiento sobre el momento de prescribirlos y de ofrecer tratamientos efectivos, con mínimo riesgo de generar efectos adversos. Este trabajo tuvo como propósito referenciar aspectos que se deben tener en cuenta en la formulación de medicamentos tópicos oculares, para el diagnóstico y tratamiento de patologías oculares de segmento anterior, en niños menores de 12 años. Para esto, se adelantó una búsqueda y revisión documental, en diferentes bases de datos académicas y científicas, como SciELO y PubMed, en el periodo 1993-2019. Dentro de los resultados, se describen aspectos importantes, como la farmacocinética y fisiopatología, para tener en cuenta en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de las patologías oculares más frecuentes en la población infantil con base en la recomendación de los autores. Finalmente, se concluye que, para la prescripción de medicamentos oculares en la población infantil, es fundamental determinar las dosis adecuadas para evitar efectos tóxicos, considerando aspectos de fisiopatología y farmacocinética. Se evidencia la oportunidad de ampliar la investigación en Colombia sobre medicamentos tópicos oculares, así como la necesidad de que se comercialicen en nuestro país antibióticos de este tipo para pacientes menores de 6 meses, y antialérgicos y antiinflamatorios para uso en menores de dos años
«The way toward oneself»: ethnoscience as a new identity strategy for the Ob Ugrians
Authors: Pivneva E.A.
Published: August 2020

This paper investigates the role of science in the identity strategies of the Ob-Ugrians (Khanty and Mansi). The main source for the study comprised author’s field reports collected over the years in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug — Yugra. As the reference point of the analysis we chose the Ob-Ugric Institute of Applied Research and Development, where a polling of Ob-Ugric science professionals was held in 2018. The author suggests exploring the research topic through the concept of multifaceted identity. A complex system of individual self-identification implies the presence of its different forms, including professional and ethnic, amongst others. This approach leads to the conclusion on superimposing roles of a scientist and a member of the ethnic group (professional and ethnic identities) in the scientific activities of the Ob-Ugrians. To indicate this specificity, we sug-gest using the term ‘ethnoscience’. The latter is defined in this context as an entity emerged in a specific way, spatially localized and aimed at studying the autochthonous foundations of knowledge within its ethnic community. As a methodological approach, the concept of ‘cultural trauma’ has been employed. Within this theory, scientific activities of the northerners are considered as a manifestation of ‘coping’ with the trauma. The example of Ob-Ugrians shows that ethnic science professionals are often driven by the perception of practical relevancy of such activities ‘for the sake of saving the nationality and its culture and raising its prestige’. These phenomena can be regarded as a kind of protest action aimed to compensate real and perceived slights. Nowadays, research activi-ties of the Ob-Ugrians are focused on recovery of the ‘lost knowledge’ and its application in the modern context. The search for the ‘roots’ and ethnic self-identification is carried out through ‘revival’ and ‘restoration’. As a draw-back of this strategy, some weak points evince (‘sympathetic ethnography’) which steadily diminish as the nor-thern ethnoscience continues to integrate in a wider science context.
Rare congenital anomaly among population of the Migration Period
(based on excavations in the Eastern Aral region)
Authors: Mednikova M.B.
Published: August 2020

This paper aims to introduce into scientific discourse the information on unique pathological features ob-served in the individuals of the Jetyasar archaeological Culture buried in the necropolis of Altyn-Asar 4. In the course of examining the extensive paleoanthropological collection of the human remains (more than 600 individu-als) of the Jetyasar Culture from the excavations of the Kwarism Expedition of the USSR Academy of Sciences in the Eastern Aral region, three cases of a rare skeletal anomaly have been discovered, which is manifested by forearm synostosis. In the modern medical literature, slightly more than 350 of such cases have been reported. Radioulnar synostosis severely restricts the movements of pronation and supination (ulnar adduction and devia-tion) by fixing the radial and ulnar bones in a single possible position. Methods of differential diagnostics have been used in description of the skeletal features, alongside the digital micro-focal radiography and microtomogra-phy. There is evidence to suggest congenital form of the above maldevelopment in the Early Medieval Eastern Aral region. Although this pathology may lead to partial disability, its bearers, attributed in the context of the Je-tyasar Culture, were fully socially adapted and each of them had sufficiently long life by the expectancy of the time. Radioulnar stenosis has been identified in a 30–34-year-old male from the grave no. 326.1 of the burial ground of Altyn-Asar 4l and in two 25–29-year-old females from the burial ground of Altyn-Asar 4r (graves
nos. 345 and 454.2). The former case is the earlier one, no later than the 4th c. AD according to the archaeological data. By the context of this multiple-body burial, this individual was married and might have carried the congenital pathology onto his descendants. The burial of the married woman with the same pathology in the burial ground of Altyn-Asar 4r (no. 454.2) was made later in the last third of the AD 6th c., according to the planigraphy and AMS radiocarbon date for a neighbouring kurgan. The latest grave no. 345 of the same burial ground, according to the results of the direct dating (UGAMS#43733 1450  20 years BP), is distant in time from the previous case by one generation and corresponds to the beginning of the 7th c.

Analysis of Human Development Index In Sumatera Barat Province Using Biplot Method
Authors: Mardison Eri
Published: August 2020

The Human Development Index (HDI) is calculated from four variables, however, the HDI value cannot directly show which variables are superior in an area and which are not. For this reason, this study aims to analyze the strength of the HDI variables in each region in Sumatera Barat Province, using Biplot Analysis. Important findings resulted from biplot analysis indicate that the Sumatera Barat Province is categorized into five regional groups that are affected by the proximity value of its constituent variables. Out of the five groups, two groups are in an area not adjacent to the variable. The other two groups are in the variable area. While the last group is an extreme region compared to other regional groups. Areas that are not in the area of variables are weak against variables, while the area falling in the variable area is superior in the relevant variable. For extreme groups, Kota Padang is very superior in the adjusted per capita expenditure variable and superior in other variables too. Meanwhile, the Mentawai Islands Regency is very weak in all variables. Kota Padang Panjang is very superior in all variables of education but weak in the economic variable. The Biplot Analysis also revealed that Sijunjung Regency had a fairly good in expenditure, but it was not good enough in other dimensions of the HDI. Things like this are not given enough attention to ordinary HDI analysis, this is what makes the Biplot analysis important to do.

Authors: Sulistyawati Sulistyawati
Published: August 2020

Background: Dengue is a viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes that continue to be a significant health challenge in many tropical and subtropical countries. So far, Geographic Information System (GIS) in the health sector contributed to disease prevention, especially for visualization of the disease case. GIS is one of the important tools in spatial epidemiology to assist identification and spatial analysis of the target disease intervention. This article summarizes the use of GIS to assess risk factors for DHF, and how efficient the use of GIS in facilitating the improvement of disease surveillance systems for the prevention and control of diseases.

Methods: This paper was developed using a descriptive approach, conducted in September and December 2019. The primary data used in this research were from ScienceDirect databased by collecting some studies that assess the risk of dengue using GIS applications.

Results: The results of reviews of research in several countries which use GIS applications in assessing the risk of dengue incidence, ie, in Swat, Pakistan evaluated the impact of the slope, population density, and the distance to the river through GIS applications. Then in Seremban and Putrajaya, Malaysia implemented a participatory approach to identify the spatial risk of dengue in the community. Research in Lahore, Pakistan, analyzed the risk of dengue. Study in Colombia conducted GWR to evaluate the association between socioeconomic factors and the environment with dengue fever incidence. Recently, research in Taiwan integrated GIS to detect the correlation between population density and the possibility of human contact with mosquitoes.

Conclusions: Based on the results of the review, it can be drawn that asses the dengue risk with GIS applications is highly relevant because it can determine the factors which affect the incidence of dengue. Besides, it can determine the spatial correlation between risk factors and the incidence of dengue, as well as to evaluate the impact of the dengue occurrence.

Authors: Yulianita Nadia Gitya , Putri Novita Sumarlin
Published: August 2020

This paper aims to investigate how genre is used to help the translator analyze, understand, and translate feature articles from English to Indonesian and the differences in the convention of feature article in other languages. The genre approach is used to give a brief understanding in analyzing the feature article. In this research, the researchers use the ESP (English for Specific Purposes) which sees that genre has the consistency of communicative purpose.  Moreover, this research uses parallel texts in the Indonesian version to compare with the English version to know the convention of feature article. The result shows that genre approach, especially ESP, helps the translator overcome the problems in translating feature articles since genre can show the convention, communicative purpose, formulaic expressions, dictions, discourse strategy, discourse community, and discourse markers of the texts. Thus, the translator can find proper translations to fit those criteria.

Structural, Functional, and Metabolic Brain Differences as a Function of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation: A Systematic Review of the Human Neuroimaging Literature
Authors: Frigerio Alberto , Ballerini Lucia , Del C. Valdés Hernández Maria
Published: August 2020

This systematic review explored structural, functional, and metabolic features of the cisgender brain compared with the transgender brain before hormonal treatment and the heterosexual brain compared to the homosexual brain from the analysis of the neuroimaging literature up to 2018. Our main aim was to help identifying neuroradiological brain features that have been related to human sexuality to contribute to the understanding of the biological elements involved in gender identity and sexual orientation. We analyze 30 studies on gender identity and 21 on sexual orientation. Our results suggest that some neuroanatomical, neurophysiological, and neurometabolic features in transgender individuals resemble those of their experienced gender despite the majority resembling those from their natal sex. In homosexual individuals the majority resemble those of their same sex heterosexual population rather than their opposite sex heterosexual population. However, it is always difficult to interpret findings with non-invasive neuroimaging. Given the gross nature of these measures, it is possible that more differences too subtle to measure with available tools yet contributing to gender identity and sexual orientation could be found. Conflicting results contributed to the difficulty of identifying specific brain features which consistently differ between cisgender and transgender or between heterosexual and homosexual groups. The small number of studies, the small sample size of each study, and the heterogeneity of the investigations made it impossible to meta-analyze all the data extracted. Further studies are necessary to increase the understanding of the neurological substrates of human sexuality.
Social (in) Mobility and Social Work with Families with Children. Case Study of a Disadvantaged Microregion in Hungary
Authors: Rácz Andrea , Sik Dorottya
Published: August 2020

Abstract The aim of our study is to analyse the perception of the families and concerned social workers. The research was conducted in an underprivileged and disadvantaged microregion in North Hungary. The main focus was the perception on the available health, educational, child welfare and social services and supports. The starting point was to enquire the target group’s knowledge of these services. The study examines the extent to which social work is able to provide support to disadvantaged, marginalized families with children, and the way how the dysfunctional operation of the system contributes to the perpetuation of the clients’ life conditions. Analysing the quality of these services and supports is crucial to understand the social mobility chance of the children living in this microregion. The results show that without capability and talent development for the children and given the lack of welfare services, the mobility chance and opportunities of these families are extremely low in Hungary.
A Novel Hardware Security Architecture: PD-CRP(PUF Database & Challenge-Response Pair) Bloom Filter on Memristor Based PUF
Authors: Lee Jungwon , Choi Seoyeon , Kim Dayoung , Choi Yunyoung , Sun Wookyung
Published: August 2020

Because the development of the internet of things (IoT) requires technology that transfers information between objects without human intervention, the core of IoT security will be secure authentication between devices or between devices and servers. Software-based authentication may be a security vulnerability in IoT, but hardware-based security technology can provide a strong security environment. A physical unclonable functions (PUFs) are a hardware security element suitable for lightweight applications. PUFs can generate challenge-response pairs(CRPs) that cannot be controlled or predicted by utilizing inherent physical variations that occur in the manufacturing process. In particular, pulse width memristive PUF (PWM-PUF) improves security performance by applying different write pulse widths and bank structures. Bloom filter (BF) is probabilistic data structures that answer membership queries using small memories. Bloom filter can improve search performance and reduce memory usage and are used in areas such as networking, security, big data, and IoT. In this paper, we propose a structure that applies Bloom filters based on the PWM-PUF to reduce PUF data transmission errors. The proposed structure uses two different Bloom filter types that store different information and that are located in front of and behind the PWM-PUF, improving security by removing challenges from attacker access. Simulation results show that the proposed structure decreases the data transmission error rate and reuse rate as the Bloom filter size increases, the simulation results also show that the proposed structure improves PWM-PUF security with a very small Bloom filter memory.

Lipases, a versatile class of biocatalysts, have been shown to function in non-aqueous media/organic solvents and to possess promiscuous catalytic activity for a wide range of organic transformations. In this study, we explore the biocatalytic properties of a library of commercially available lipases by screening them for catalysis of a one-pot synthesis of Wieland-Miescher Ketone, an important intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds such as steroids and terpenoids, from methyl vinyl ketone and 2-methyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione. As a direct outgrowth of this screen, we have created an optimized procedure for Wieland-Miescher Ketone (WMK) synthesis using crude lipase preparations, characterizing both reaction yield and enantiomeric excess. We have also identified principal components of the crude lipase mixture through proteomics and present evidence for a non-lipolytic origin of the observed catalysis. Finally, using the optimized conditions developed in this study, we propose a general absorbance-based screening methodology for assessing biocatalytic potential of crude enzyme preparations for synthesis of WMK.

Reconfigurable computing is becoming ubiquitous in the form of consumer-based Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Reconfigurable computing architectures have found their place in safety-critical infrastructures such as the automotive industry. As the target architecture evolves, it also needs to be updated remotely on the target platform. This process is susceptible to remote hijacking, where the attacker can maliciously update the reconfigurable hardware target with tainted hardware configuration. This paper proposes an architecture of establishing Root of Trust at the hardware level using cryptographic co-processors and Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) and enable over the air updates. The proposed framework implements secure boot protocol on Xilinx based FPGAs. The project demonstrates the configuration of the bitstream, boot process integration with TPM and secure over-the-air updates for the hardware reconfiguration.

Background: Karamoja region of Uganda previously classified as low malaria transmission zone is currently experiencing significant upsurge of malaria incidences. Long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) impregnated with pyrethroids constitute a major tool for malaria control in this region. Efficacy of this tool can be hampered by resistance to the pyrethroids in the Anopheles mosquito vectors. Resistance status of these mosquitoes in this region is poorly understood, effectively hampering better understanding of the impact of LLINs in the malaria control initiative. Here, we assessed susceptibility of the Anopheles arabiensis from the region to deltamethrin, permethrin (pyrethroids) and pirirmiphos-methyl (organophosphate) insecticides.Method: We collected anopheline mosquito larvae from their natural habitats and reared them to adult emergence in situ field insectary in Karamoja region. We then identified them morphological to species level and exposed 513 emerge adult female An gambiae s.l., mosquitoes to diagnostic dosages of deltamethrin (0.05%), permethrin (0.75%) and pirimiphos-methyl (0.25%) pyrethroids exposure using the standard WHO insecticide susceptibility test assay. Synergic assays using piperonyl butoxide (PBO) were done to check for the involvement of detoxification enzymes in pyrethroid resistant populations. We then screened for knockdown resistance (KDR) and mosquito species diversity using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).Results: Majority (96%) of the mosquitoes we sampled were identified as An. arabiensis and 4% as An. gambiae sensu stricto. We observed cross-resistance to both deltamethrin (11.9%) and permethrin (47%) but susceptibility (100% mortality) to pirimiphos-methyl in An. arabiensis. The pre-exposure to PBO ameliorated the resistance to both pyrethroids. We detected homozygous KDR -eastern variant in 1.8 and 50% of the An. arabiensis and An. gambiae s.s. respectively.Conclusion: Anopheles arabiensis and An. gambiae s.s. are the malaria vector in Karamoja region with An. arabiensis predominating. Both species are susceptible to pirimiphos-methyl but resistant to both deltamethrin and permethrin, through a metabolic process (phenotype). Mosquotoes with genetic (kdr) mutations for resistance were minimal and hence have minimal contribution to the pyrethroid resistance profile. An. arabiensis can thus be controled in Karamoja region using deltamethrin and/or permethrin impregnated mosquito nets integrated with PBO and/or through indoor residual spraying of sprayable human dwellings with pirimiphos-methyl.

Background and aim: Abnormalities in lipid metabolism are commonly observed in patients who were obese. Alongside dyslipidemia, one of the markers in predicting the risk of cardiovascular disease is the Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP), which is related to dietary intake. Healthy fat quality indices might affect on AIP. The purpose of this study is to find the possible relationship between dietary fat quality, and AIP and comparison of these indices among obese and non-obese volunteers. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional descriptive-analytic case-control study with 157 normal and overweight and obese volunteers (n=71 normal, Age: 38.90±10.976 vs n=86 overweight/obese, Age: 38.60±9.394) in the age range of 18-65 years. Food intake was measured using FFQ, anthropometric indices (weight, height, body mass index and waist to hip ratio), body composition (visceral fat level, total body water, body fat mass), and lipid profile were measured. Results: Based on the present results, comparable biochemical parameters including TC (P=0.580), TG (P=0.362), LDL (P=0.687) and HDL (P=0.151) among overweight/obese volunteers as compared to normal ones were noticed. Results of dietary fat quality, including Atherogenicity (AI) and Thrombogenicity (TI) hypo/hypercholesterolemic ratio (h/H), the Cholesterol-Saturated Fat Index (CSI) showed significantly higher AI (P=0.012) in the overweight/obese group as compared to the normal group. Whereas, h/H (P=0.034) and ω-6/ω-3 ratio (P=0.004) were significantly higher in normal-weight volunteers. There was a positive correlation between AI, TI, CSI, SFA, MUFA, PUFA and ω-6/ω-3 ratio with AIP and negative correlation between h/H with AIP in both groups. Despite the significancies of these correlations no strong relation was observed by doing multiple regression among normal and overweight/obese groups (R2=0.210, R2=0.387). Conclusions: In summary, the present study suggests a direct relationship between dietary fat quality, increased BMI, and lipid abnormalities with AIP. However, further large-scale studies are needed to have a clear conclusion in this regard.

Published: August 2020

Background: The phenomenon of bronze disease is considered as the most important factor in the destruction of bronze objects. Different methods have been proposed to cope with it. The most important inhibitors used in this regard are BTA and AMT. While these inhibitors control the corrosion, they are toxic and cancerous. In the ideal conditions, these inhibitors are able to slow down the activity of chlorine ion, but they leave some side effects after a period of treatment. Today, plant extracts are used for this purpose. In this study, Robinia pseudoacania L extract was selected for this purpose.Material and methods: Natural inhibitor of Robinia fruit at concentrations of 200 ppm to 1800 ppm was evaluated in a corrosive solution of sodium chloride 0.5 M on a bronze alloy with a percentage similar to ancient alloys (Cu-10Sn) using potentiostat, weight loss method, and humidifier area.Results: Given the data derived from potentiostate device showed that Robinia pseudoacania L Inhibitory power at 1000 ppm with corrosion rate of 12.78% is 55% and the classic method of weight loss inhibitory power after four week at 1800 ppm Robinia pseudoacania L in contrast a corrosive solution of sodium chloride 0.5 M is 92% for bronze alloy (Cu-10Sn). In addition, SEM images suggest that the formation of film on the coupon has been flacked.Conclusion: While the results of the analyses suggest the inhibitory power of Robinia pseudoacania L, granular corrosion is evident on the coupons surfaces in SEM-EDX images and analysis.

Background: With the aggravation of social competition and work burden pressure, the health condition of the middle-aged and above population in China has declined significantly. Frailty can be used as a criterion for evaluating a person's unhealthy state. However, there is limited data on the prevalence and related factors of frail status in Chinese middle-aged and older people.The objective of this study was to explore the correlation between frail status, chronic diseases, abnormal physical examination indicators among middle-aged and older populations.Methods: Participants were 9,985 community-dwelling adults over the age of 40 years living in China. Data were from the 2015 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey which was a nationally representative sample and frailty phenotype was based on Fried frailty criteria. We analyzed the demographics of participants and multivariate-adjusted related factors for frail and pre-frail population.Results: The overall prevalence of frailty and pre-frailty was 3.1% (95% CI: 2.8, 3.5) and 53.66% (95% CI: 52.7, 54.6) among the general Chinese population aged 40 years or older. Hypertension (OR: 1.8, 95% CI: 1.3, 2.593), pain (OR: 1.8, 95% CI: 1.3, 2.5), and hip fracture (OR: 2.2, 95% CI: 1.1, 4.4) were associated with prevalent frailty. Relative factors for frailty also included increased cystatin C (OR: 4.5, 95% CI: 3.0, 6.7) and glycated hemoglobin (OR: 1.2, 95% CI: 1.1, 1.4), as well as decreased peak expiratory flow (OR: 0.993, 95% CI: 0.991, 0.994).Conclusions: Fried-defined frailty and pre-frailty are highly prevalent in the Chinese population over 40 years older. Hypertension, pain, hip fracture, low education, and underweight are major related factors for frailty. The decrease in peak expiratory flow and the increase in cystatin C and glycated hemoglobin are good indicators for detecting frailty. Thus, frailty is an increasingly common condition and will become a major important health issue for people over middle age.
