Abstract
Background:Currently there are many children with perinatal HIV infection (PHIV) in Thailand who have survived on effective treatment, and grown up into adolescents and young adults (AYA). We determined their quality of life and HIV adherence self-efficacy.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Research Institute for Health Sciences, Chiang Mai University, Thailand in 2018. Inclusion criteria were: 1) aged between 15-25 years, 2) living with perinatal HIV infection, and 3) receiving ART. Those with mental, physical, or communication problems and could not provide responses independently were excluded. The WHO-quality of life-BREF questionnaire and the HIV Treatment Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale (HIV-ASES) were usedin collecting data by self-administered questionnaires on mobile device.Results: A hundred and eleven AYA-PHIV were included; 52 (47%) were female. Their median age, and duration on ART were 20.2 (IQR 18.2-22.6), and 14.1 (IQR 10.4-14.8) years, respectively. Approximately half (59.4%) of AYA-PHIV rated their overall QOL as favorable (41.4% good,and 18.0% very good), whereas 35.1%rated as neither poor nor good. The mean ± SD domain-wise scores were 54.71 ± 10.80, 59.79 ± 13.17, 63.19 ± 20.56, and 65.32 ± 16.74inthe physical health, psychological health,social relationship, and environmental health, respectively. The overall mean HIV–ASES score was 7.79 ±1.95, with a trend towards higher scores in female than male AYA-PHIV. A positive correlation between HIV-ASES and QOL was observed (r=0.268, p=0.005).Conclusion: Most of AYA-PHIVin Thailand had a favorable QOL and optimal HIV-adherence self-efficacy.Attention should be paid on strengthen their physical and psychological health, with continuous social support. Intervention to boost their HIV-adherence self-efficacy when entering adult life is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND

Arthritis is a public health concern because of the high prevalence reported in various settings as well as its impact on health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The main objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of self-reported joint pain, arthritis and its associations with quality of life in a Trinidadian primary care population.
METHODS

A cross-sectional study was conducted on adult outpatients from 16 randomly selected primary care centres. An interviewer administered questionnaire was used to collect data on arthritis and HRQOL domains. Data was analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS, version 21) using Fisher’s exact, Chi-square testing, correlation and t-tests. Regression analysis was also done for predictors of HRQOL.
RESULTS

Of 421 subjects approached, 392 (93%) completed this survey. The average age was 46 ± 17.8 years with 60.5% of respondents being female and 75% being of either East Indian or African descent. Joint pain in the past 6 months, reported by 57.9% of participants, was associated with female gender (P = 0.016), East Indian descent (P = 0.001), unemployment (P < 0.001) and primary school education level (P < 0.001). There was significant (P < 0.005) upset in all domains of quality of life in those with joint pain. Severity and duration of joint pain was also positively correlated with worse HRQOL scores (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION

This study highlighted the high prevalence of self-reported joint pain in Trinidad and its negative effects on HRQOL. There is an urgent need to address arthritis and the resulting morbidity in this setting.

Abstract
Background: Some children experience a greater deal of anxiety during the outbreak of COVID-19. Behavioral dimensions of executive function appear to be linked to situational anxiety experience. Therefore, the primary aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between self-related skills of executive functions before the outbreak of COVID-19 and the level of physical and mental anxiety in children during this pandemic. Also, the secondary goal of this study is to predict the level of anxiety based on self-related skills of executive functions. Methods: Information were obtained from Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (BDEFS), which was collected from 300 healthy children over two months before the COVID-19 outbreak. The children anxiety was measured based on parent’s reposes to an online anxiety scale when the disease outbreak. Results: The results showed that the total score of self-related skills of executive functions was negatively and significantly related to the anxiety level (r =- .53). In general, the results also demonstrated that self-related skills of executive functions can predict 28% of anxiety. The subscales of self-management (p<0.015, t= 5.56), self-regulation (p<0.011, t= 6.37), self-restraint (p<0.035, t = 4.29) and emotional self-organization (p <0.042, p=0.222) predicted coronavirus anxiety, except self-motivation (p<0.05, p = 0.894). Conclusions: Given that most subscales of executive function predict anxiety tied to critical situations such as the prevalence of coronavirus, it seems that greater attentions should be allocated to the fostering and development of children's executive functions by teaching such skills via playing.

Abstract
Background: The optimal management of clinical T4 (cT4) prostate cancer (PC) is still uncertain. At our institution, carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) with or without androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) for nonmetastatic PC, including tumors invading the bladder, has been performed since 2010. Since carbon ion beams provide a sharp dose distribution with minimal penumbra and have biological advantages over photon radiotherapy, CIRT may provide a therapeutic benefit for PC with bladder invasion. Hence, we evaluated CIRT for locally advanced PC with bladder invasion in terms of the safety and efficacy.Methods: Between March 2010 and December 2016, a total of 1,337 patients with nonmetastatic PC received CIRT at a total dose of 57.6 Gy (RBE) in 16 fractions over 4 weeks at our institution. Among them, 7 patients who had locally advanced PC with bladder invasion were identified. Long-term ADT was also administered to these patients. Adverse events were graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event (CTCAE) version 5.0.Results: At the conclusion of our study, all the patients with cT4 PC were alive with a median follow-up period of 78 months. Grade 2 acute urinary disorders were observed in only 1 patient. Regarding late toxicities, only 1 patient developed grade 2 hematuria and urinary urgency. There was no grade 3 or worse toxicity. Gastrointestinal toxicity was not observed. As for efficacy, 6 (85.7%) patients had no recurrence or metastasis. One patient had biochemical and local failures 42 and 45 months after CIRT, respectively. However, the recurrent disease has been well controlled by salvage ADT.Conclusions: Seven patients with locally advanced PC invading the bladder were treated with CIRT. There was no severe toxicity, and only 1 patient had clinical relapse, suggesting a positive safety profile for CIRT. Therefore, there is scope for future research among larger cohorts to ascertain the safety and effectiveness of CIRT for PC with bladder invasion.

Produksi ASI pada ibu menyusui dapat ditingkatkan antara lain dengan konsumsi pangan laktogogum. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui pengaruh pemberian cookies Galohgor yang mengandung laktagogum terhadap tingkat kecukupan dan status gizi bayi. Penelitian merupakan studi quasi eksperimental. Subjek penelitian merupakan 20 orang ibu postpartum di Kota Bogor. Subjek yang terpilih dikelompokkan menjadi kelompok kontrol (n=11) yang diberikan 40 g cookies tanpa penambahan galohgor dan kelompok cookies galohgor yang diberikan 40 g cookies yang mengandung galohgor selama 14 hari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kecukupan karbohidrat pada kelompok cookies galohgor lebih besar secara signifikan dibandingkan kelompok kontrol (124,9Â±32,6% vs. 90,8Â±31,1%, p<0,05). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bb/u terdapat hubungan yang signifikan terhadap tingkat kecukupan energi dan karbohidrat (p>0,05). Sementara itu, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bb/u bayi pada kelompok galohgor secara signifikan lebih besar dibandingkan kelompok kontrol (3415,5Â±487,9 g vs. 3190Â±292,8 g, p<0,05). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian cookies galohgor berpengaruh terhadap tingkat kecukupan energi dan karbohidrat serta peningkatan berat bayi menurut umur.Â Kata kunci: berat badan bayi, lactagogum, galohgor, ibu postpartum, tingkat kecukupan bayiÂ AbstractBreast milk has many benefits and fulfills the nutritional needs of infants in the first six months of life. Breast milk production of nursing mother could be boosted by consuming lactagogue. This study aimed to analyze the effect of Galohgor lactagogue cookies (GC) on nutrients adequacy level and nutritional status of infants. A quasi-experiment design was used in this study. Subjects of this study were 20 postpartum mothers in Bogor, West Java. The subjects were grouped into a control group (n = 11) given 40 g of cookies without galohgor and a galohgor cookies group given 40 g cookies containing galohgor for 14 days. The result showed that carbohydrate adequacy level of the galohgor cookies group was significantly higher than that in the control group (124.9 Â± 32.6% vs 90.8 Â± 31.1%, p<0.05). The results showed that weight-for-age was significantly associated with energy and carbohydrate adequacy levels of infants. The results showed that infant weight-for-age in the galohgor cookies group was significantly higher compared to that in the control group (3415.5 Â± 487.9 g vs 3190 Â± 292.8 g, p<0.05). These results suggested that galohgor cookies has a beneficial effect on energy intake and carbohydrate sufficiency and improve the weight-for-age of the infant.

This study was conducted to determine the association between feeding pattern and nutritional status of the under-five children in Mtwara rural district. Nutritional assessment information was collected using three survey tools: food frequency survey, 24 hours diet survey and anthropometric assessment survey. Anthropometric measures of weight and height were used to assess the nutritional status and WHO Anthro Plus was used to compute the anthropometric data to obtain Height for Age Z-score, Weight for Age Z-score and Weight for Height Z-score. The questionnaire was administered to mothers / caregivers of 329 children aged 6 -59 months. The children’s feeding patterns were determined using the 24-hour dietary recall. Dietary diversity score was computed to understand the quality of the diet consumed by the children. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 20.0 using descriptive statistics. Chi-square was used to determine the association between nutrition status and the independent variables including gender. The findings indicated 41% stunting rate, 18.8% underweight and 7.3% wasting implying poor nutrition. The cassava feeding frequencies varied among households and between and within the two children age groups, (6 – 10 months) and (11-59 months). Overall 87.23% of children (6-59 months) had a feeding frequency of 2 days, 3 days or 6 days in a week. The dietary diversity indicated an average IDDS of 2.5 implying poor diversity of consumed food groups which was similarly far below the target IDDS of 5 established for this study. The results however indicated no significant association (p ≥ 0.05) between cassava consumption pattern and prevalence of stunting, wasting and underweight and also between gender and nutrition status. The high prevalence rate of malnutrition could thus be attributed to a synergistic effect of several factors.

The study examined the morphology of the gastro-intestinal tract (GI) of growing pigs offered dry feed or liquid feed with differing water-to-feed ratios. Twenty male pigs were randomly allocated to one of four treatment groups; treatments included a standard dry pelleted diet (D) or the same diet soaked in water at a feed-to-water ratio of 1:1.5 (T1:1.5), 1:3 (T1:3) or 1:3 with the addition of lactic acid to adjust the feed to pH 4 (T1:3[4]). Animals were humanely slaughtered after 6 weeks to enable sampling and histological examination (light, scanning electron (LSEM) and binocular dissection microscope) of the GI tract. Samples were taken at the 2% position (duodenum), the 20% position and 50 % position (jejunum) along the small intestines (SI). Liquid-fed pigs were heavier (P < 0.05) and exhibited improved feed conversion ratios (FCR) when compared to D animals. These differences in live weight were attributed to alterations in the weight and volume of the stomach and SI, which were also heavier and larger in liquid-fed pigs (P < 0.05). However, these differences were no longer apparent when intestinal weights and stomach volumes were adjusted for animal live weight. Differences in villus type between the treatments were noted throughout, particularly in the duodenum and proximal jejunum sections. Mean villus height was taller in all liquid-fed animals when compared to D pigs (P<0.05); this was particularly apparent in T1:1.5 and T1:3[4] pigs. There were no differences in crypt depths between treatment groups at the 2% and 20 % positions, but at the 50 % position the T1:1.5 group crypts were deeper (P < 0.05) than those in the D and T1:3 pigs. It is concluded that liquid feeding alters the morphology of the GI tract, which may in part, explain the differences in growth performance observed between liquid and D fed pigs. The inclusion of organic acid in the diets of T1:3[4] pigs appeared to exert an effect on villus height and crypt depth when compared to those pigs receiving the T1:3 diet
