Abstract
Purpose
The 15- and 10-item short forms of the Singapore Caregiver Quality of Life Scale (SCQOLS-15 and SCQOLS-10) were recently developed as a quick assessment of caregiver quality of life. Reference values describing the distribution of the total and domain scores are available for the full-length version, but they are not yet available for the short forms. This study aimed to estimate the reference values for the short forms.

Methods
Data from a cross-sectional survey of 612 family caregivers of patients with advanced cancer in Singapore were fitted in quantile regression models. Percentiles were estimated by regressing the short forms’ scores on caregiver characteristics. Classification by the reference values for the short forms and the full-length version were compared and agreement was evaluated.

Results
The caregiver’s role in caring for the patient and the patient’s performance status were associated with the percentiles of the total scores and most domain scores (each Bonferroni-adjusted p-value, PB, < 0.05). Higher-educated caregivers were categorized into higher percentiles according to the SCQOLS-15 and SCQOLS-10 total scores and the SCQOLS-15 Mental Well-being and Financial Well-being domain scores (each PB < 0.05). Ethnicity was associated with the SCQOLS-15 Physical Well-being and Experience & Meaning domains (each PB < 0.05). The percentiles for the short forms showed moderate to substantial agreement with those for the full-length version in terms of classifying caregivers into percentile intervals (quadratic-weighted Kappa = 0.72 to 0.92).

Conclusion
Reference values for the SCQOLS-15 and SCQOLS-10 were estimated in relation to caregiver characteristics to facilitate interpretation of the short form scores.

Abstract
Background
The extraction of DNA from skeletal remains with good quality and quantity is often challenging for the ability to generate DNA typing. Previous studies demonstrated the DNA extraction with total demineralization from fresh teeth and bones; however, the application in old skeletal remains has been less performed. To obtain good quality and high yield of DNA amount extracted from skeletal remains, the objective of this study was focused on exploring the factors influencing the total demineralization process to obtain developing effective methods.

Results
The concentration of EDTA was found to significantly enhance calcium chelation from the bone while pH of EDTA solution, incubation temperature, incubation time, and volume of EDTA solution were not significant. The optimal condition of total demineralization obtained from Placket-Burmann results represented good-quality DNA and the highest concentration of extracted DNA yield. Subsequently, the STR typing in some bone specimens processed by total demineralization process prior to DNA extraction was improved.

Conclusions
EDTA concentration was a key influencing factor on the total demineralization process to chelate calcium from human skeletal remains. The total demineralization process in old bone specimens probably improved the STR profiles.

AbstractBackgroundThe Combined Mandibulectomy and Neck Dissection (COMMANDO) surgery results in severe postoperative pain and requires multimodal analgesia (MMA) for its management. We speculated that the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) which is the ultrasound (US)-guided regional technique and has been used in various types of surgeries due to its analgesic benefits could be used as an effective analgesic adjunct in COMMANDO surgery.Case presentationWe report a case of a 68-year-old female patient who underwent left side COMMANDO surgery for carcinoma cheek. She was given an ultrasound-guided left erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in the preoperative period with catheter insertion at T3 (3rd thoracic vertebral level). Two boluses of local anesthetic were given each with 10 ml 0.25% ropivacaine one before and one after surgery, and then, the infusion was started with a volumetric pump. The ESPB provided effective intraoperative as well as postoperative pain relief without any side effects.ConclusionUS-guided ESPB could be used as a potential opioid-sparing multimodal analgesic in head and neck surgeries based on the pain relief provided and the spread of contrast on imaging. This hypothesis needs to be explored in the form of case series and adequately powered randomized controlled trials.

Abstract
Background
The ongoing acute respiratory disease pandemic termed COVID-19 caused by a newly emerged coronavirus has jeopardized the world’s health and economic sectors. As of 20 July 2020, the virus now known as SARS-CoV-2 has already infected more than 14 million individuals and killed 612,815 patients with a mortality rate of 4.12% around the world regardless of age, gender, and race.

Main body
Bangladesh has become one of its worst sufferers, with 207,453 infected people and 2668 related deaths with a mortality rate of 1.29% until 20 July 2020. More than 50% of COVID-19 patients in Bangladesh are aged between 21 and 40, but elderly people aged more than 60 have the highest mortality rate (44.7%). Male individuals are also more susceptible to the virus than females and consist of 71% and 79% among the infected and deceased patients, respectively. The most prevalent clinical features following the virus incubation period are fever, fatigue, and dry cough. A phylogenetic analysis study elucidated that the virus strain found in the country has 9 single-nucleotide variants, mostly in the ORF1ab gene, and a sequence containing 3 successive variants in the N protein, which reflects a weaker strain of SARS-CoV-2, implicating a possibility of its lower mortality rate. Another investigation of 184 genome samples of SARS-CoV-2 across the country implicated a close homology with a European haplotype of SARS-CoV-2. The country has also joined the race of vaccine development and started phase III clinical trials of a candidate vaccine developed by Sinovac Research and Development Co Ltd, China.

Conclusion
Bangladesh, as a developing country, still struggles with the pandemic and needs to scale up its response operation and improve healthcare facilities such as testing capacity, institutional quarantine, and isolation centers and promote awareness. Preventive measures such as strict lockdown, social distancing, and boosting the existing immune system are thus considered the only contrivances.

Carotid Artery Occlusive Disease or Carotid Artery Stenosis (CAS), a widely prevalent disease, involves blockage of the arterial wall through atherosclerotic plaques. Due to the high prevalence of carotid artery stenosis, innovative approaches to improve the outcome are required, particularly for more difficult and unique cases. Within this report, we present a particularly difficult case of Type III Aortic Arch – Right Internal Carotid Artery (ICA) stenosis making it a challenging case. We describe a symptomatic 87-year-old male who presented to Cardiology clinic. CT angiogram showed 70% occlusion of right internal carotid artery and patient was deemed high risk for carotid artery surgery; hence, the patient underwent internal carotid artery stenting. After the procedure, angiogram results were excellent, and the patient was transferred to CICU in stable hemodynamic condition. This case demonstrates the significance of innovative new techniques in the development of medical treatment.

Introduction. Smoking cigarettes is a major health and social-economical problem. It poses a threat to reproduction, parturition and the health of the baby.Aim. Illustrating the problem of smoking cigarettes by pregnant women on the basis of the review of the bibliography. Brief description of the state of the art. This research demonstrates the epidemiology and the scale of the problem as well as the consequences of smoking during pregnancy taking into consideration the division into the parturition and the health of the baby. It also discusses women’s awareness of the negative effects of such behaviours.Conclusion. The review of the bibliography indicates that smoking cigarettes by pregnant women is not uncommon. The scale of the problem is not easy to assess due to the fact that many of these women simply do not admit to it. The negative consequences of smoking during pregnancy are quite numerous and pertain to both the parturition and the state of the newborn as well as the health of the child at a later stage in its life. This calls for the need to shape anti-nicotine attitudes, especially in girls and women in the reproductive period.

Introduction. Nephrolithiasis consists of the production and retention of calculi in the urinary tract. It is being diagnosed in an increasing number of people of any age, and is one of the most common ailments in the world. Depending on a number of factors, it can be found in 5–20% of the population. Traditional surgeries are being replaced by less invasive methods of treatment. The relation between the endourological removal of calculi from the urinary tract and the assessment of the quality of life of patients who have undergone such procedures is an interesting topic worth analysing. In the 21st century, quality of life became the indicator of the efficacy of many therapies and procedures. It is associated with the quality of treatment, reflecting a better and longer life with the disease.
Objective. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the quality of life of the surveyed patients with nephrolithiasis after the endourological removal of calculi from the urinary tract.
Materials and methods. The group of surveyed individuals qualified for statistical analysis included 120 people diagnosed with nephrolithiasis. The patients underwent the procedure of the endourological removal of calculi from the urinary tract in 2015 in three hospitals in eastern Poland. Among the respondents, 48% of them underwent extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), 31% had percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL), and 21% had uretherorenoscopic lithotripsy (URS). To evaluate the quality of life, a research tool was devised based on an abbreviated version of the Polish adaptation of the WHOQOL – BREF questionnaire. Also, a personal questionnaire prepared by the author was used.
Results and conclusions. The analysis of the collected materials demonstrated the impact of the endourological removal of calculi from the urinary tract on the quality of life of the hospitalised patients. Differences were identified in individuals’ general rating of quality of life (57% of respondents were satisfied) and patients’ general satisfaction with their health (47.5% of respondents were satisfied) after the procedure. Significant differences were identified in each of the studied fields: physical, psychological, social and environmental. A statistically significant correlation of p

The selecting represents the optimal selection of that part of the anthropological status that is important for the success in the respective sport and that meets the specific needs of the athlete and also for the potential athlete’s orientation and perfection in terms of certain sports disciplines.
Regarding the selection of the working methods in this research, there were selected those methods which are supposed to help in drawing conclusions about the nature of the problem posed. The sample was defined as students aged 12 years from the Middle School "Selami Hallaqi" Gjilan. In this study is included a total of 90 students, that is, two groups of 45 students. The first group is consisted of students who besides regular hours of physical education 2 times a week also exercised karate two more times a week by one hour per day. The second group comprised of students who besides regular hours of physical education 2 times a week, also exercised football two more times per week, by an hour a day. Measurements were made at the end of the school year. 9 motor variables were applied (Kurelić et al., 1975), running in 20 meters (MT20V), the long jump from the place (MSKDM), high jump from the place (MSKVM), hand taping (MTRUK), leg taping ( MTNOG), eight with bowing (MOSPR), running sideways (mtrs) bowing ahead in the bank (MFLPRK), legs spread apart-retaliation (MFLSP). For the processing of the results it was applied the t-test analysis for independent samples.
The basic statistical parameters of the results obtained from the students involved in the research show that the values obtained do not have an outlined asymmetry and incline to the lowest (hypo cortical). Taxonomic analysis shows that were obtained applying two groups of students divided by motor skills and gained distinction in these variables between groups is statistically significant.
The second taxonomy of the motor skills shows that from the 90 students, young sportsmen involved in research, 56 of them can be defined as a student athlete with high motor skills to perform motor movements with explosive character which are well coordinated in time and space, with a top speed of movement segment. Motor dimensions of the explosive strength, speed segment, coordination and flexibility are important motor skills for success in a big number of sports (Findak et al., 1992; Popović, 1998).
