Authors: FAQE MAHMOOD SHLER AKRAM , BAKR HAWRI MUSTAFA 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
The present study was conducted to evaluate the infection rates of Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba dispar, and Entamoeba moshkovskii among asymptomatic individuals in Erbil City, northern Iraq. The research intent was to discover whether pathogenic or nonpathogenic species cause a high rate of symptomless Entamoeba infections. Stool samples were microscopically examined, and the 18S-rRNA gene was targeted utilizing the nested PCR technique in the positive specimens. Initial results based on morphological features showed that the Entamoeba prevalence rate was 7.4%. Significantly higher rates of infections were seen in females than in males and in low-income people than in moderate-income people. The incidence rates among the asymptomatic individuals, as determined by molecular analysis, were as follows: E. histolytica – 6%, E. dispar – 4.3%, and E. moshkovskii – 0.3%. Of all the Entamoeba positive samples, a single infection with E. histolytica was identified in 41.4% samples; the single infection with E. dispar in 18.6% samples, 35.7% samples had mixed infections with two Entamoeba species, and 4.3% had mixed infections with three species. The current study concluded that 7.4% of healthy people, who live in the endemic area under investigation, carry Entamoeba species asymptomatically. Additionally, the majority of asymptomatic Entamoeba infections were caused by the pathogenic E. histolytica (81.4%) compared to E. dispar (58.6%), and E. moshkovskii with the lowest rate of infection. Single and co-infections with E. histolytica and E. dispar were noted. E. moshkovskii, which was identified for the first time in the region, was only seen in mixed infections.

Abstract
Dengue fever is a major public health problem in Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, preventive strategies are still deficient. It can progress to severe and lethal forms, and available knowledge does not allow early prediction of which cases of dengue fever (DF) will progress to dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). The aim of this study was to evaluate the host and viral factors that could play a role in the progression of severe dengue cases in the frame of the revised 2009 WHO classification. Data were compiled from the Jeddah Dengue Fever Operation Room (DFOR) in the Maden Al-Fahd primary healthcare center in Jeddah. An unmatched case-control study was conducted on 123 severe cases, and 245 controls (non-severe cases) diagnosed during 2014–2016. Risk factors for severe dengue fever were secondary infection (p = 0.02), and co-morbidities, particularly diabetes and hypertension (p < 0.001). Age, gender, nationality, socioeconomic status, viral serotype, and access to health care were not significantly associated with severe disease. The main risk factors for severe dengue fever were secondary infection, and co-morbidities (hypertension and diabetes). We recommend disseminating these data to stakeholders to improve dengue control interventions in periods with anticipated high incidence.

Abstract
The capacity of four bacterial strains isolated from productive soil potato fields to solubilize tricalcium phosphate on Pikovskaya agar or in a liquid medium was evaluated. A bacterial strain was selected to evaluate in vitro capacity of plant-growth promotion on Solanum tuberosum L. culture. Bacterial strain A3 showed the highest value of phosphate solubilization, reaching a 20 mm-diameter halo and a concentration of 350 mg/l on agar and in a liquid medium, respectively. Bacterial strain A3 was identified by 16S rDNA analysis as Bacillus pumilus with 98% identity; therefore, it is the first report for Bacillus pumilus as phosphate solubilizer. Plant-growth promotion assayed by in vitro culture of potato microplants showed that the addition of bacterial strain A3 increased root and stems length after 28 days. It significantly increased stem length by 79.3%, and duplicated the fresh weight of control microplants. In this paper, results reported regarding phosphorus solubilization and growth promotion under in vitro conditions represent a step forward in the use of innocuous bacterial strain biofertilizer on potato field cultures.

Authors: Janngiab Chatchada , Suthutvoravut Somsak 
Published: September 2020

Background: The timing of umbilical cord clamping after birth is important to neonatal health, and immediate umbilical cord clamping may have negative effects on the newborn’s health. In 2017, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommended a delay in umbilical cord clamping in vigorous term and preterm infants for at least 30 to 60 seconds after birth.
Objective: To study the timing of umbilical cord clamping after birth and its effects on mothers and newborns in a private hospital.
Methods: The descriptive prospective observational study was conducted in the labor ward of a private hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. A total of 159 pregnant women were purposively recruited during August 1, 2017, to September 30, 2017. The time after the birth of the umbilical cord clamping was observed and recorded without the knowledge of the obstetricians. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
Results: The mean time of the umbilical cord clamping was 6.20 ± 1.42 seconds (range, 2 - 10 seconds) after the birth which was shorter than the recommendation. No significant association was found between variables and the timing of the umbilical cord clamping. No significant adverse neonatal condition was found.
Conclusions: This study found that time of umbilical cord clamping in a private hospital was shorter than the recommendation and no known side effect to newborns.

AbstractThe delivery of cancer care has never changed as rapidly and dramatically as we have seen with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. During the early phase of the pandemic, recommendations for the management of oncology patients issued by various professional societies and government agencies did not recognize the significant regional differences in the impact of the pandemic. California initially experienced lower than expected numbers of cases, and the health care system did not experience the same degree of the burden that had been the case in other parts of the country. In light of promising trends in COVID‐19 infections and mortality in California, by late April 2020, discussions were initiated for a phased recovery of full‐scale cancer services. However, by July 2020, a surge of cases was reported across the nation, including in California. In this review, the authors share the response and recovery planning experience of the University of California (UC) Cancer Consortium in an effort to provide guidance to oncology practices. The UC Cancer Consortium was established in 2017 to bring together 5 UC Comprehensive Cancer Centers: UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, UC Los Angeles Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, UC Irvine Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, and the UC San Francisco Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center. The interventions implemented in each of these cancer centers are highlighted, with a focus on opportunities for a redesign in care delivery models. The authors propose that their experiences gained during this pandemic will enhance pre‐pandemic cancer care delivery.

Published: September 2020

Introdução: A COVID-19 é uma infecção causada pelo ví­rus SARS-CoV-2, que se originou na cidade de Wuhan (China) e se propagou rapidamente para outros paí­ses e continentes até que a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) declarasse situação de pandemia. Dentre as condições graves decorrentes da patologia, observou-se que determinados pacientes apresentaram sintomatologias neurológicas sistêmicas, como acidente vascular encefálico (AVE). Objetivo: O objetivo do presente trabalho é propor uma discussão acerca dos conhecimentos atuais sobre a fisiopatologia do AVE em adultos jovens com COVID-19. Métodos: Fora realizada uma busca nas principais bases de dados: LILACS, BIREME, PuBMED nos idiomas português e inglês, de artigos compreendidos no ano vigente. A escolha ocorrera de forma aleatória, obviamente, seguindo uma linha de raciocí­nio dos autores envolvidos. As palavras-chave pesquisadas foram: COVID-19, Acidente Vascular Encefálico, Fisiopatologia, Coagulopatia. Discussão: Conjectura-se inúmeras possiblidades que explicariam a ligação do ví­rus í doença cerebrovascular. É considerado que o SARS-CoV-2 instiga um processo inflamatório na parede arterial e isso seja responsável pelo AVE. Embora a correlação entre essas duas condições clí­nicas seja notória, ainda não existem estudos que determinem claramente o mecanismo fisiopatológico implicado no processo. Conclusão: Manifestações neurológicas na COVID-19 são relatadas, incluindo o acidente vascular encefálico. O estado de hipercoagulabilidade gerado pela tempestade de citocinas parece estar relacionado ao mecanismo fisiopatológico desta condição. Ainda assim, não existem evidências claras quanto a isso e estudos são necessários a fim de elucidar sua fisiopatogenia.Palavras-chave: infecção por coronaví­rus, acidente vascular encefálico, fisiopatologia, coagulopatia.
Molecular diversity of freshwater fishes of Bangladesh assessed by DNA barcoding
Authors: Ahmed Md Sagir , Datta Sujan Kumar , Zhilik Ayesha Akhter 
Published: September 2020

This study represents the comprehensive molecular identification of freshwater fishes of Bangladesh based on a fragment of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene in the mitochondrial genome. A total of 315 mitochondrial COI barcode sequences were obtained from 153 species,114 genera, 49 families and 16 orders of fishes. The mean length of the sequences was 652 base pairs. For all the samples, %G was significantly lower compared to the other nucleotides and %GC was lower compared to %AT (p-value ˂ 0.05). Also, a significantly lower %GC content was observed in second and third codon position compared to the first one in all the samples (1st>2nd>3rd, p-value˂ 0.05). The average K2P distances within species, genera, families and orders were 0.38%, 7.02%, 12.75% and 18.68%, respectively. The mean interspecific distance was 18-fold higher than the mean intraspecific distance. The K2P neighbor-joining (NJ) trees based on the sequences generally clustered species according to their taxonomic position. A total of 12 species were newly recorded in Bangladesh. High efficiency in species identification were demonstrated in the present study by DNA barcoding, and concluded that COI sequencing can be used as an authentic identification marker for freshwater fish species.

Published: September 2020

The study was conducted to identify the protozoan parasites and to determine their occurrence and diversity in climbing perch, Anabas testudineus (Bloch, 1972). The sample fish species were collected from mid-October, 2018 to end of the December 2018 from freshwater bodies of Mymensingh, Kishoregonj, Faridpur and Jashore districts. Three species of myxozoa (Henneguya mystusia, Henneguya qadrii and Henneguya acerinae) and 4species of ciliophora (Trichodina acuta, Trichodina spp., Epistylis lwoffi and Amphileptus disciformis) were identified in A. testudineus. Approximately 76.19% of total fish species were infected by at least one of the parasites with average load of 71.38±32.26 per infected host. Myxozoans (97.55%) were clearly dominant group than chiliophorans (2.45%). The highest prevalence of parasitic infection was observed in the fishes of Mymensingh (100%) and lowest in Jashore (40%).The association of parasitic infection of H. mystusia (p=0.018), H. qadrii (p= 0.00044), H. acerinae (p=0.003), Trichodina acuta (p= 0.052)and A. disciformis (p= 0.023) with study area was statistically significant. Protozoan parasites were most abundant in gills of the hosts. Shannon Diversity Index indicated that hosts were not infested by more parasites and the parasite community was poorly diverged in all study sites but Simpson’s Diversity Index showed that, parasites community was moderately diverged in host fish of Mymensingh area and in rest of areas they were poorly diverged.

Authors: Fatema Nurun Nahar , Rahman Md Ferdousur , Khan Ashfaque Ahmmed 
Published: September 2020

Introduction: Persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) or persistent fetal circulation (PFC) is a commonly encountered problem in neonatal and pediatric cardiac intensive care units and cause significant mortality and morbidity.
Aim/Objective : To show the outcome of patient of PPHN treated by a cheap, locally available NNF protocol.
Methods: It was a retrospective study conducted in pediatric cardiology department of a tertiary care hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh from February 2014 to March 2019. After diagnosis in noninvasive cardiac laboratory (NIC Lab), all cases were admitted in neonatal and pediatric cardiac intensive care units for specific management using NNF protocol. After 72 hours, echocardiography was repeated, and outcome was analyzed.
Results: Out of total 494 cases, 80.56% cases were diagnosed at first week and 4.45% cases were diagnosed at 3rd week of life. Male patients (60.32%) outnumbered female. Babies were delivered by caesarean section in 92.31% cases. PPHN was found alone in 24.69% cases and rest along with other less severe congenital heart diseases. Severe pulmonary hypertension was observed in 63.56% cases. Right ventricular volume was increased in 93.52% cases. Hundred percent neonates were treated with high flow oxygen therapy by optiflow/ nasal cannula/ head box. Antifailure treatment was offered in 73.27% cases, pulmonary vasodilators in 59.51% cases, inotropes in 15.18% cases. Outcome of treatment was analyzed after 72 hours by repeat echocardiography. Four hundred and seventy one (95.34%) cases were cured completely and only 1.01% expired.
Conclusion: PPHN is a life threatening condition in neonate only. Early diagnosis and proper management is must for survival. Management by low cost NNF protocol was found effective with 95.34% cure rate and only 1.01% mortality. This protocol may be used for treatment of PPHN in low cost set up.

Published: September 2020

Parahaemophilia or Owren’s diseaseis a rare haemorrhagic disorder occurs due to congenital and frequently familial deficiency of Factor V.It is characterized by epistaxis, bruising, mucosal bleeding, soft tissue bleeding and haemarthrosis. We report a case of 6 year old female patient with overlapping features with other haemorrhagic disorder. With the complaints of recurrent episodic per rectal bleeding, patient was evaluated at different hospitals in Chattagram and was diagnosed as a case of Haemophilia B and treated accordingly. As her condition was not improved expectedly, she was referred to Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) for further evaluation. The lab tests showed prolongation of prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), with normal bleeding time (BT) and thrombin time (TT). Coagulation factors assay revealed a significant decrease of factor V, 1% of normal range. Other coagulation factors are normal. She was treated with FFP and recovered four weeks after treatment.
