Abstract

Introduction. Due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) many people give up exercises. International physical activity guidelines recommend 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity or 75 minutes at high intensity per week. Healthy adults should take 10,000 steps per day. Wearable devices (smartwatches, step counters, physical activity monitoring applications) have the potential to promote a healthy lifestyle at the time of COVID-19 pandemic. They are accepted by the youth.

Aim. The aim of the study was to find out if using step counting devices affects the level of physical activity and body mass index (BMI) in students.

Material and methods. A total of 303 participants (227 women, 76 men) studying in Lublin, Poland of mean age 19.5 years participated in the study conducted with use of an internet questionnaire.

Results. Before the COVID-19 pandemic their mean BMI was 22.17 kg/m2 and after 9 months of COVID-19–related restrictions it was 22.57 kg/m2. Among the respondents 204 (67.3%) did a physical activity for 50 min 3 times a week in 2019 and 99 (32.7%) did not. In December 2020 there was a significant decrease in the number of students doing physical activity to 128 (42.2%) (p<0.05) and an increase in the number of students who did not do any physical activity to 175 (57.8%) (p<0.05). In 2019 as many as 110 (36.3%) of the respondents used to use step counting devices and 192 (63.7%) did not. In 2020 the number of students using activity tracking devices significantly decreased to 58 (19.2) (p<0.05). The number of students who did not use any step counting device in 2020 was 245 (80.8%).

Conclusion. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the number of students who don’t do enough physical activity significantly increased. The use of step counting devices helps students in continuing physical activity despite COVID-19-related restrictions.

Abstract

Introduction. Selenium (Se) is a trace element found mainly in meat, seafood, nuts and grains. Se is found in selenoproteins such as selenocystein or selenomethionin. A well balanced diet provides enough Se. Many regulatory and metabolic enzymes contain Se as their component, which is why Se supplementation is used in the treatment as well as prevention of multiple disorders. Se may, however, be toxic if overdosed.

Aim. The aim of this review is to summarize the data about functions of Se in human body and to discuss its use in treatment and prevention of diseases.

Materials and methods. The search was conducted using the PubMed and Google Scholar databases in March and April 2020. The key words used were: ‘selenium’, ‘cardiovascular disease’, ‘selenium supplementation’, ‘Keshan disease’, ‘source of selenium’. A total of 68 articles were analysed.

Results. The first cases of chronic Se deficiency cases were documented 85 years ago in China. The patients with cardiomyopathy, extensive fibrosis and degenerative changes in the heart were diagnosed with Keshan disease. Human selenoproteonome consists of at least 25 selenoproteins. Se plays a role in immunity and metabolism via its role in functioning of numerous enzymes: glutathione peroxidase, thioredoxine and methionine sulfoxide reductase, methionine-sulfoxide reductase B1. Se plays a role in glucose homeostasis, Alzheimer’s disease, thyroid disorders, infectious, inflammatory diseases, vascular diseases and fertility.

Conclusion. Se deficiency increases the risk of Keshan disease, but there is not enough evidence to recommend its supplementation for prevention of cardiovascular disease. However, Se status is important part of health assessment. Se supplementation should not exceed the dose of 55μg/day.

Abstract

Background: Admission hyperglycemia has been associated with major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) in patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Methods: In this study we sought to determine the association between admission blood sugar (ABS) and the outcomes of non-diabetic patients with first-ever acute myocardial infarction (MI). Non-diabetic patients with MI were evaluated from March 2016 to March 2019. Baseline characteristics, laboratories, electrocardiogram, and baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were recorded. All patients were followed up and outcomes were obtained. Follow-up data comprised of repeating electrocardiogram and echocardiography at 1 year, and MACCE, including re-MI, stroke, and mortality.

Results: A total of 312 patients with a mean age of 54.2 ± 11.9 years were evaluated. All patients were followed up for a median of 38 months. The frequencies of in-hospital mortality and MACCE at late follow-up were higher in third tertile of ABS compared with those in first and second tertiles (both p <0.05). Based on the Cox regression analysis, the independent predictors of MACCE included age (hazard ratio [HR] 1.068, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.033 – 1.105, p <0.001), third tertile of ABS >172 mg/dL (HR 21.257, 95% CI 2.832 – 159.577, p=0.003), and baseline LVEF (HR 0.947, 95% CI 0.901 – 0.995, p=0.031).

Conclusion: Admission stress hyperglycemia is associated with increased rates of in-hospital mortality and MACCE at late follow-up in non-diabetic patients with MI. Moreover, elevated ABS, older ages, and a decreased value of baseline LVEF predicted MACCE during follow-up.

Published: August 2021

This study analyzes lafazh qaul and "kalām" in the Qur'an according to balāghah perspective, also discussing the meaning of the context of the two lafazhs. Because in balāghah's perspective, there is no same word, each lafazh has a different meaning even though it is the same in its textual form. As ibtalā and ikhtabara mean to test. the word ibtalā is used for the meaning of good and bad trials. But the Arabs used it a lot for bad trials. While the word ikhtabara derived from the word khabara is used for the meaning of testing in a good context only. This literature research examines the use of the Qur'anic language in lafazh qaul and kalām and its meaning which aims to examine the miracles of the Qur'an in the aspect of language. The results of this study indicate that lafazh kalām is a part of qaul. Lafazh qaul and expressed in the context of something that is known or not known by humans, and qaul has two meanings, namely qaul mufīd and qaul ghairu mufīd. Meanwhile, lafazh kalām is devoted to the speech of Allah to the prophet, the speech of Allah to fellow human beings, and the speech of Allah to the dead.

ABSTRACT
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is primarily transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes and is responsible for reemerging disease internationally. Container habitats of immature Aedes mosquitoes are often found around residential areas, thus water-holding container investigation is an important vector control strategy. This study aimed to survey mosquito species in container inhabiting stages and water-holding containers associated with the CHIKV outbreak in urban areas within the 4 villages of Hat Yai district in Songkhla province during 2019. The results indicated that of the 75 houses surveyed, 34 had water-holding containers; 78 out of 438 containers were positive for mosquitoes; and 34 were positive for mosquito stages. The house index (HI), Breteau index (BI), container index (CI), and pupal index (PI) were 46.87, 93.75, 14.92, and 271.88 for case houses, respectively. Specific container index (SCI) showed discarded containers such as bottles, cans, and tires. The findings suggest that Aedes aegypti was predominant in the surveyed urban area and might be the vector responsible for CHIKV transmission in Songkhla province.

ABSTRACT
Anopheles darlingi is considered the main vector of malaria in the Neotropical region, so knowledge of its distribution in the Americas is highly relevant for the design of strategies for prevention and control of the illness. In Mexico, An. darlingi was recorded for the first time in 1943, and currently its distribution covers the states of Campeche, Chiapas, Quintana Roo, and Tabasco. In this study, new distribution data and observations of the abundance of An. darlingi in 14 localities of Quintana Roo, southeastern Mexico, are presented.

ABSTRACTOvitraps were set inside and outside of 15 households in December 2012 (dry season) and August 2013 (rainy season) in 2 communes (An Thanh and Phu Hoa) of Binh Duong Province in southern Vietnam. Eggs laid in the ovitraps were collected after 4 days, dried, and soaked in water. Hatched larvae were transferred to cups and reared to adulthood to identify the species. The rate of positive ovitraps did not differ between December and August for Aedes aegypti, but it was lower in December for Ae. albopictus. The number of eggs laid per ovitrap by Ae. aegypti did not differ between December and August, while that for Ae. albopictus decreased significantly in December in both communes. Moreover, Ae. albopictus laid eggs in ovitraps placed outside the households. Therefore, it is necessary for future studies to investigate whether the major source containers for oviposition had dried in the dry season or Ae. albopictus entered diapause, leading to these observations.

OBJECTIVE
C5 palsy (C5P) is a known complication of cervical decompression surgery. The tethering effect of the C5 nerve root following the posterior shift of the spinal cord is the most accepted pathologic mechanism for C5P development; however, this mechanism cannot fully explain C5P by itself in clinical practice. Separately, some studies have suggested that preoperative severe spinal cord compression and postoperative morphological changes in the spinal cord affect C5P development; however, no previous study has quantitatively addressed these possibilities. The aim of this study was to examine whether spinal cord morphology and morphological restoration after surgery affect C5P development.

METHODS
The authors reviewed consecutive patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy who underwent laminoplasty including the C3–4 and C4–5 intervertebral disc levels. All participants underwent MRI both preoperatively and within 4 weeks postoperatively. To assess the severity of spinal cord compression, the compression ratio (CR; spinal cord sagittal diameter/transverse diameter) was calculated. As an index of morphological changes in the spinal cord during the early postoperative period, the change rate of CR (CrCR, %) was calculated as CRwithin 4 weeks postoperatively/CRpreoperatively × 100. These measurements were performed at both the C3–4 and C4–5 intervertebral disc levels. The study cohort was divided into C5P and non-C5P (NC5P) groups; then, CR and CrCR, in addition to other radiographic variables associated with C5P development, were compared between the groups.

RESULTS
A total of 114 patients (mean age 67.6 years, 58.8% men) were included in the study, with 5 and 109 patients in the C5P and NC5P groups, respectively. Preoperative CR at both the C3–4 and C4–5 levels was significantly lower in the C5P group than in the NC5P group (0.35 vs 0.44, p = 0.042 and 0.27 vs 0.39, p = 0.021, respectively). Patients with C5P exhibited significantly higher CrCR at the C3–4 level than those without (139.3% vs 119.0%, p = 0.046), but the same finding was not noted for CrCR at the C4–5 level. There were no significant differences in other variables between the groups.

CONCLUSIONS
This study reveals that severe compression of the spinal cord and its greater morphological restoration during the early postoperative period affect C5P development. These findings could support the involvement of segmental cord disorder theory, characterized as the reperfusion phenomenon, in the pathomechanism of C5P, in addition to the tethering effect.
