Introduction; The University Hospital of Trauma, Tirana, Albania, is the only National
referent center for trauma in Albania. As the primary care center for trauma, often operating over capacity of trauma patient, limiting access to Emergency surgical care for
non-trauma patients. For non-traumatic surgical emergencies are instructions to inform the patient selection for transfer to another institution such as a University
Hospital Center “Mother Theresa” in Tirana, Albania. Such decisions can be particularly
difficult for severely ill patients when transferring benefits are uncertain.
Material and Methods: To point out the role of surgeons in different hospital levels, for transfer, we took a qualitative analysis of cases that are transferred from a regional or
municipal hospital to the University Hospital of Trauma...
Results: Surgeons in the regional or municipal hospitals require transfer when the ability to care for the traumatized patient is limited by the lack of necessary staff or equipment, and when the needs of surgical treatment of patients or comorbid conditions are not available at the level local. Surgeons (non-primary centers) sometimes transfer patients who can be selected at home (second or third level hospitals ...) or with fatal safety progress, in order to try all treatment options or to satisfy families by thus reducing the possibility of benefiting from the treatment of other patients.
Conclusion: Decisions on the transfer of surgical patients are complex and require
good recognition of traumatized patient assessment protocols, knowledge and capacity
coordination both local and central as well as in logistics, personnel, and scientific and
professional levels.

Background & Method: This study was conducted in 56 children in age group of 02 months to 14 years with Echocardio graphically proved Ventricular Septal Defect, over a period of 01 and a half year, after taking consent from the parents and explaining them the purpose and method of this study.
Result: Out of these 27 patients in 2 to 6 months age group, 11 were large VSDs, 16 were moderate VSDs and 2 were small VSDs. Out of 17 patients in age group 6 to 12 months, 10 patients were large VSDs, 5 patients had moderate VSDs and 3 patients were with small VSDs.
Among patients with moderate VSDs only 4out of 25 patients had signs of right ventricular hypertrophy (16%). Left ventricular hypertrophy was evident clinically in 24 patients out of 25 (96%) & obviously no patients had biventricular hypertrophy. A loud ESM was heard (grade II-IV).
Conclusion: Clinical examination can also suggest LVH in moderate VSD & sometimes BVH in large VSD, Palpable P2 and loud P2 are very important findings that suggest pulmonary hypertension. Pansystolic murmur is heard in small-moderate VSD and ESM in large VSD. Complications like CCF, pulmonary hypertension, malnutrition and FTT are mostly present in moderate-large VSD. Chest x-ray suggests cardiomegaly, plethora and also enlargement of PA segment in moderate –large VSD.

Published: December 2020

The use of earphones has increased in recent times throughout the world especially among the different level of students such as school, college or university who have a higher tendency of sharing these among them. Unlike airline headsets, headphones and stethoscope ear-pieces, ear phones are often shared by multiple users and can be a potential medium for transmission of pathogens, which can give rise to various ear related infections. The objective of this study was to detect the pathogenic bacteria from the ear-phones used by the students of Stamford University Bangladesh. A total of 16 ear-phone swabs were collected by sterile cotton swabs. The swabs were inoculated onto blood agar and incubated aerobically overnight at 37oC. Microscopic observation and standard biochemical tests were performed to confirm the identification of all the bacterial isolates. Six presumptively identified Staphylococcus spp. (38%) were tested against six different types of antibiotics following Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Isolates were found to be 84% resistant against Cotrimoxazole and demonstrated 100% sensitivity to Vancomycin and Ciprorofloxacin. The findings of this study suggest the users to disinfect their respective ear phones and not to exchange them as they may act as a potential source to transfer pathogenic and antibiotic resistant bacteria among the ear phone users.

Authors: Sultana Tohura , Nur Ifra Tun 
Published: December 2020

Hand hygiene is the most simple and effective way to prevent infection. Contaminated hand and related ornaments act as a vector of transmitting diseases. The main goal of this study was to find out whether personal accessories of different categories of working women are responsible for foodborne illness or contagious diseases. For this purpose, six categories of individuals were chosen, and five types of ornaments were taken from each individual. Total thirty swab samples were taken from the surface of bangles, nose pins, ear rings, finger rings and chains. Conventional culture techniques and biochemical tests were performed to determine the presence and identification of the pathogenic microorganisms. Total viable bacteria was present in all those samples but the presence of specific microorganisms were not found in all of those samples. Moderate growth of Staphylococcus spp. was found in finger rings and ear rings of the home makers and presence of Escherichia coli was detected in 16% of these samples as an indicator of fecal contamination. In the light of these results, it is essential to maintain proper hand hygiene and sanitation practice as some ornaments could be the significant source of pathogenic microorganisms. Food handlers and health care workers should abide by the rules and regulations of personal hygiene.

Combined usage of rHVT-H5 and Re-6 vaccines towards an effective avian influenza vaccination program for commercial layer chickens
Authors: Ali Md Zulfekar 
Published: December 2020

Vaccination against highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) of subtype H5N1 is one of the possible means to protect chickens against its outbreak in endemic countries. Early vaccination of layer birds with recombinant vector vaccine based on turkey herpesvirus expressing H5 gene (rHVT-H5) provides longer protection while inactivated vaccine Re-6 needs multiple booster doses to achieve continuous antibody titer. Therefore, this study was carried out to offer a vaccination program using live rHVT-H5 and inactivated Re-6 vaccines in field condition. For this trial, five ISA brown commercial layer chicken farms were raised with 500 birds per farm. Two licensed vaccines- rHVT-H5 and Re-6 in Bangladesh were used for this trial where birds in farms 1 and 2 were administered only rHVT-H5 vaccine at one-day-old, and farms 3 and 4 rHVT-H5 vaccine at one-day-old then boosted with Re-6 vaccine at 25 weeks of age. Farm 5 was not vaccinated and functioned as control. Blood samples were randomly collected from 20 birds in each farm at 3-week interval from 2 weeks old till 65 weeks and harvested serum analyzed by haemagglutination inhibition (HI) test for antibodies against HPAIV H5N1. The titer of haemagglutination inhibiting antibodies against AIV H5N1 on farms 3 and 4 was considerably high and remained up to 65 weeks. However, in farm 1 and 2 there was decline in antibody titer after 56 weeks of age. This study demonstrated that the combined use of rHVT-H5 vaccine at one-day-old and Re-6 at 25 weeks of age enhanced a longer lasting protective antibody against circulating HPAIV H5N1 in commercial layer chickens in Bangladesh.

Microbiological analysis of popular spreads used in restaurants inside Dhaka city, Bangladesh
Authors: Ahmed Tasnia , Uddin Md Aftab 
Published: December 2020

Spreads are used widely for making the fast foods more amazing and tasty. Varieties and cross combinations of ingredients are used to make many flavours of fast foods. Different restaurants prepare their signature spreads for attracting people but this can cause opposite result if not prepared using high quality raw materials and proper hygienic conditions are not maintained. Current study was conducted on ten different types of spreads (pesto, cilantro, queso, tomato sauce, peanut butter, honey, mustard, cream cheese, chocolate sauce and butter) which are used by the local restaurants in Dhaka city, Bangladesh. Almost all the samples (nine out of ten) harbored total viable bacteria exceeding the standard limit. Four spread samples showed high fungal count (102 cfu/gm). Four samples showed to be positive (˃101/ml recommended acceptable count) for Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. which indicates that these spread cannot be recommended for public consumption. Among all the samples examined, only chocolate sauce showed acceptable result without the presence of coliforms, Staphylococcus spp. and Pseudomonas spp. This finding suggests proper maintenance of sanitation in spread preparation and selling area. A proper guidelines and monitoring can help keep up the quality of food additives.

Application of microbiological assay to determine the potency of intravenous antibiotics
Authors: Nahar Saimun , Khatun Most Salma , Kabir Md Shahidul 
Published: December 2020

Demonstration of equivalent amounts of active pharmaceutical ingredient is a basic requirement for intravenous generic drugs prior to administration. Physicochemical methods are often used to determine concentration of antibiotics in biological fluids. However, it does not permit direct quantification of potency of a desired antibiotic. This study demonstrates the application of a microbiological assay to determine the potency and concentration of commercially available pharmaceutical-grade antibiotics used for injections. Concentration-dependent variation of inhibitory effect of four commercial brands of cefuroxime and two of ciprofloxacin were observed against two reference bacteria (Escherichia coli DH5α and Escherichia coli ATCC 8739) on Mueller Hinton agar. Regression analysis was used to assess the in vitro equivalence of generic products sold by different retail companies in Dhaka city. A linear relationship was found between the concentration and response of the bacteria in regression analysis where anti-log of X-intercept and slope showed the concentration and potency, respectively. The study showed excellent results of linearity (r2≥0.89), precision (inter assay variation ≤10% for cefuroxime and ≤20% for ciprofloxacin), accuracy and specificity tests for both types of antibiotics. Pharmaceutical equivalence demonstrated by four cefuroxime and two ciprofloxacin samples showed no significantly distinguishable slopes (P > 0.78 and P > 0.44) and intercepts (P > 0.25 and P > 0.07), respectively. Estimated potency for cefuroxime was 91.1-100.0% and for ciprofloxacin was 68.1-100.0%. Microbiological assay was found to be convenient, rapid, cost-effective, precise and accurate in demonstrating pharmaceutical equivalence of antibiotics in different dosage forms. This technique can be used as an alternative method for testing generic antibiotics prior to their use in animal and human.

Published: December 2020

The use of antibiotics in the poultry and livestock industries for the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases, and as growth promoters in poultry feeds has increased worldwide. Such frequent employment of antibiotics may contribute to the development and dissemination of bacterial antibiotic resistance. The present study was an attempt to isolate drug-resistant bacteria and to screen the probability of having residual antibiotics in the poultry feed samples. Therefore, a total of 18 samples inclusive of starter, grower and finisher of two poultry feed brands of reputed Bangladeshi feed companies were collected and subjected to microbiological analysis, antibiogram and agar well diffusion assay. All the samples contained extended numbers of total viable bacteria and fungi in an average of 108 and 107 cfu/g, respectively. Klebsiellaspp., Pseudomonas spp. and Bacillus spp. were predominantly present in the tested samples. E. coli and Vibrio spp. were also found in most of the samples. Most isolates have been determined to be multidrug-resistant. All the isolates showed resistance against Cefuroxime. Penicillin resistance was found in most of the isolates in greater proportion. Higher rate of resistance was evident against Novobiocin, Cephradine and Rifampicin. However, the bacterial isolates showed sensitivity to Tobramycin, Nalidixic acid and Neomycin. The poultry feed samples, especially starter and finisher of both brands noticeably had significant antimicrobial activity against the laboratory isolates indicative of the probable presence of residual antibiotics which might be used as supplements in the poultry feed samples.

Published: December 2020

La construcción de viviendas en serie en Cuenca y alrededor del mundo se han incrementado de manera exponencial, convirtiéndose en una solución habitacional desarrollada en el campo inmobiliario. Si bien la construcción en serie entrega un recurso para satisfacer una necesidad básica de las personas, es necesario investigar el sentido de apropiación al espacio interior del hábitat doméstico considerando que los espacios no fueron proyectados ni resueltos bajo un programa de necesidades realizados a medida. El objetivo de la investigación es indagar la identificación simbólica y las transformaciones realizadas en los departamentos modelos para comprender el sentido de apropiación y concebir las auto creaciones y auto representaciones de los propietarios en sus espacios interiores.
Palabras clave: Apropiación, hábitat doméstico, vivienda colectiva, transformación espacial.
AbstractSerial housing construction in Cuenca and around the world has increased drammatically, becoming a housing solution developed in the real estate field. Although serial construction is a source of satisfaction to basic needs of people, it is necessary to investigate the sense of appropriation to the interior space of the domestic habitat considering that the spaces were not projected or solved under a program of needs adapted to a specifi measure. The objective of the research was to investigate the symbolic identification and the transformations carried out in the model apartments to understand the sense of appropriation and conceive the owners' self-creations and self-representations in their interior spaces.

AbstractThe objective of this research was based on demonstrating the absence of limits between interior and exterior space in a commercial setting. It was developed in the Lijnbaan Pedestrian Street, Rotterdam with the aspiration of understanding what happens before and after a commercial facade - window -. The commercial pedestrian ones were fragments of few meters where the pedestrian interacted immediately with the space and allowed contact between the private (commercial store) and the public (commercial street set). The compositional elements of both the interior and the exterior were the base data for the comparison, the relational method results from the theoretical abstraction of texts related to the guide of interior spaces of commercial character as well as urban pedestrian spaces. There was an exploration through three dimensions, the first one focused on the commercial street, the human scale - urban - of the set, the second one, the scale of the product, seated on elements of a commercial interior, and finally, in the search of the similarity and balance of elements the third one arises, the threshold, as a space without defined limits.
