Published: October 2019

Background: The leishmaniasis is a group of diseases with a broad range of clinical manifestations caused by several species of parasites belonging to the genus Leishmania. LL-37/hCAP18, the only cathelicidin in human, is expressed as an 18-kDa preproprotein. The most prominent function of cathelicidins is their ability to inhibit propagation of a diverse range of microorganisms, which occurs at a micromolar range.
Aim: The study was aimed to evaluate the LL37 plasma level in Leishmania Sudanese patients.
Materials and Methods: In a case-control study, three hundred subjects were enrolled (200 as case and 100 controls). Five ml. of venous blood was collected in EDTA container, then plasma was obtained and stored frozen at -80ºC. LL 37 was estimated using competitive ELISA. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 21.
Results: The results revealed that 115 (57%) of Leishimania patients were male and 85 (43%) were female. Plasma LL 37 level was significantly increased in Leishmania patients (1.30±0.71) compared to the control (0.21±0.20) with (p-value 0.000).
Conclusion: Leishmania patients had higher levels of plasma LL37, suggesting effective anti-microbial immunity process enhancing healing of cutaneous leishmaniasis.

Authors: Mudardum Abdalla Hassan , Mohammed Abbakar Adam 
Published: October 2019

Background: Sudan is an endemic country for hepatitis B virus (HBV). Screening for HBV during pregnancy may help in instituting interventions to minimize vertical transmission. HBV in pregnant women in remote areas of Darfur were uncovered by the previous studies in Sudan, Objectives: This study was aimed to determine the seroprevalence of HBV and the possible risk factors for its acquisition among antenatal care attendants in Um Dafog area, South Darfur State, Sudan.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between July, 2018 to January, 2019 in Um Dafog area. Blood samples were collected from165 (143from Sudan and 22from Central African Republic) pregnant women attending Antenatal Um Dafog Clinic. Serum was separated and tested for HBV marker using rapid HBsAg test. Information on socio-demographic and other pertinent data was collected using a structured questionnaire. Informed consent was obtained and confidentiality of personal data was assured.
Results: HBsAg was detected in 8.5% of study population. Participants from Central African Republic recorded higher prevalence (18.2%) than those from Sudan (7%). However, there was no significant association (P value > 0.05) between prevalence of HBsAg and residence, history of blood transfusion, tattooing, circumcision, surgical procedure, cupping therapy, caesarean section, ear piercing, unsafe injection, and jaundice or liver problems.
Conclusion: The study concluded that the prevalence of HBV among pregnant women in Um Dafog area is of high endemicity according to WHO, hence the need for established public health interventions that leading to reduction of HBV transmission. Keywords: Hepatitis B, pregnant women, Um Dafog, Sudan.
Obese First degree relatives of hemodialysis patients are at Higher Risk for Developing Kidney Diseases: In a Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Elemam Abozaid Mohammed 
Published: October 2019

Background: Previously, it has been demonstrated that obesity is one of the strongest risk factors for incident chronic kidney diseases (CKDs). Currently, we examine the association between Body mass index (BMI) and CKD in first degree relatives (FDRs) of renal failure patients on hemodialysis.
Materials and methods: In a cross-sectional study, 135 FDRs of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on hemodialysis were included. Serum creatinine, uric acid, calcium, phosphate, and alkaline phosphatase were measured. Glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR) and albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) were estimated. The height in Cm, weight in Kg was measured, and the BMI was calculated.
Results: Females 64% were found to have a higher frequency than males 36%. The frequency of BMI categories was found to be 26.7% obese, 26.7% overweight, and 46.6. % normal weight. The mean BMI was (26.0 ± 6.62). The prevalence of CKDs is 19.3% among relatives. CKDs were more frequent 42.3 % in obese, followed by 30.8 % in overweight and 26.9% in normal-weight relatives. Obese and overweight relatives have significantly higher ACR than normal weight (P= 0.012). GFR found to be significantly higher in obese and overweight relatives than normal weight (P = 0.000). GFR was negatively correlated with BMI (R = - 0.430, P = 0.000).
Conclusion: Obese and overweight RF relatives had higher ACR and lower eGFR. Therefore, obese and overweight members are at higher risk of developing CKD.
Keywords: CKDs, Family members, BMI, Obesity, ACR, eGFR.

Published: October 2019

Abstract
Abstract:
Background : Small ungulates (sheep and goat) display a seasonal breeding, characterised by two successive periods, sexual activity (SA) and sexual rest (SR). Odours emitted by a sexually active male can reactivate the ovulation of anoestrus females. The plasticity of the olfactory system under these hormonal changes has never been explored at the peripheral level of odours reception. As it was shown in pig that the olfactory secretome (proteins secreted in the nasal mucus) could be modified under hormonal control, we monitored its composition in females of both species through several reproductive seasons, thanks to a non-invasive sampling of olfactory mucus. For this purpose, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D-E), western-blot with specific antibodies, MALDI-TOF and high-resolution (nano-LC-MS/MS) mass spectrometry, RACE-PCR and molecular modelling were used.

Results : In both species the olfactory secretome is composed of isoforms of OBP-like proteins, generated by post-translational modifications, as phosphorylation, N-glycosylation and O -GlcNAcylation. Important changes were observed in the olfactory secretome between the sexual rest and the sexual activity periods, characterised in ewe by the specific expression of SAL-like proteins and the emergence of OBPs O- GlcNAcylation. In goat, the differences between SA and SR did not come from new proteins expression, but from different post-translational modifications, the main difference between the SA and SR secretome being the number of isoforms of each protein. Proteomics data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD014833.

Conclusion : Despite common behaviour, seasonal breeding, and genetic resources, the two species seem to adapt their sensory equipment in SA by different modalities: the variation of olfactory secretome in ewe could correspond to a specialization to detect male odours only in SA, whereas in goat the stability of the olfactory secretome could indicate a constant capacity of odours detection suggesting that the hallmark of SA in goat might be the emission of specific odours by the sexually active male. In both species, the olfactory secretome is a phenotype reflecting the physiological status of females, and could be used by breeders to monitor their receptivity to the male effect.

Published: October 2019

AbstractA complex multi-reservoir hydropower development (HPD) was studied from the point of view of energy production. The Gâlceag HPD system consists of three reservoirs, a high head hydropower plant (HPP) powered by two Francis turbines of 75 MW each, and a pumping station (PS) equipped with two centrifugal pumps of 10 MW each. The hydraulic system configuration is unusual: the PS discharge pipe conveys the water directly into HPP's penstock. Three operation scenarios were investigated: ① normal operation (with PS shutdown and HPP operational, as a conventional HPP), ② simultaneous operation (with both HPP and PS operational), and ③ pumped storage (with HPP shutdown and PS operational). Primarily, a numerical model was set up in EPANET to investigate the influence that the variation in the initial level of the HPP upstream reservoir has on the production of energy. In the sequel, a numerical model was derived and solved in GNU Octave to investigate the influence on the energy production of HPD due to initial levels of both the HPP upstream and downstream reservoirs. The results can be used in a decision support system to assess the overall operation of Gâlceag HPD based on water availability.
Urban water resilience in Hindu Kush Himalaya: issues, challenges and way forward
Authors: Singh Vishal , Pandey Anvita 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
The urban population is expected to rise up to 68% by 2050, adding 2.5 billion people to the urban areas of the world. The majority of the rise is expected to be in the low-income countries of Asia and Africa. Several cities/towns in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region are expanding at a rapid pace, putting additional pressure on water services and basic amenities for urban dwellers. Selected case studies undertaken by the authors suggest that the demand for water far exceeds municipal supply. Water governance in the HKH region remains a blind spot and challenges pertaining to urban water resilience are poorly understood. The paper is divided into three parts: the first outlines the development of towns and their water infrastructure through selected cases in the HKH, followed by key issues and challenges faced by urban systems and suggested measures to build urban resilience in order to deal with the projected rise in population, governance issues and anticipated changes in climate.

Published: October 2019

Background
Alzheimer disease and related dementias (AD/RD) are progressive neurocognitive disorders that currently affect approximately 50 million people worldwide. Mobile phone apps have been well-integrated into daily lives and can be used to deliver and promote health care. There is an increase in the use of technology to provide care and support to AD/RD patients and their families.

Objective
This study aimed to review apps designed for AD/RD patients and analyze the benefits of, and challenges to, such technological solutions.

Methods
A systematic approach was applied to review the availability, content, features, and quality of mobile phone apps to support self-care among AD/RD patients.

Results
The initial search for this review was conducted in January 2019, and the screening and analysis of the included apps were completed in May 2019. A total of 14 apps were included from an initial search of 245 apps. The top 3 features were alert (9/14, 64%), self-care tips (6/14, 42%), and social networking capacity (5/14, 35%). On average, the readability of the apps was a tenth-grade reading level (SD 3.06). The overall quality was 3.71 out of 5 (SD 1.37).

Conclusions
Our findings suggest that currently available apps for AD/RD patients may not meet complex needs and may be challenging to use, given the possible impaired communication ability associated with AD/RD. Therefore, high-quality apps need to be developed and rigorously evaluated for feasibility and efficacy.

The experiment was carried out to evaluate the water and soil quality of pond, which were subjected to drying and aeration after inundation. The objective of the experiment was to find out which soil drying and water aeration treatments were the best for shrimp culture.The soil used was obtained from an intensive shrimp pond and sea water was collected from pond area in jepara coast. The soil drying treatments consisted of drying the wet soil under the sun to air dry condition, field capacity condition and water saturated condition. The soil drying treatments were carried out for 64 days. The aeration treatments after inundation consisted of with aeration and without aeration. Soil less sea water also was prepared as control. The aeration treatments were carried out for 64 days. The soil and water quality were observed during soil drying and water aeration treatments.Result of this experiment indicated that drying the pond bottom soil until field capacity condition gave the highest rate of organic matter decompotition followed by air dried soil, then water saturated oil. The decompotition of soil organic matter in the field capacity condition reached optimum on day 8 to 16. The pond bottom soil in water saturated condition contained lower NH3, NO2- and H2S than ind dried soil. Aeration gave better condition than the non aeration one. It seemed the best water quality condition for shrimp fry stocking occurred 4-8 days after inundation combined with aeration.

Published: October 2019

Motile Aeromonas Septicimia is a dangerous disease on fresh water fish especially walking catfish and carp. Vaccination against the disease has been developed in Indonesia. However, there were high result variations of the vaccination. Immune response is influenced by level of vitamin C dietery. Objective of this experiment was to know effect of vitamin c levels on walking catfish’s specific immune respose. The levels of vitamin (0, 50, 500, and 1000 mg ascorbic acid (AA)/kg feed) were given to the fish. Immersion vaccination for 30 minutes (108 sel/ml) was carried out 15 days after feeding trial. Challenge test was conducted by injection of 0,2 ml bacteria suspension (LD80 concentration) was carried out 15 days after vaccination. Growth rate of the fish was observed monthly. Result of this experiment indicated that mortality in the challenge test due to A. hydrophila infection considerably decreased for treatment combination among vaccination; and 500 and 1000 mg AA/kg feed. These AA levels without vaccination could not reduce mortality.
