Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND: The resurgence of COVID-19 cases in Saudi Arabia, despite ongoing control measures, warrants further analysis.
AIM: We aimed to investigate the prevalence and sociodemographic risk factors of COVID-19 in Al Qassim Province, Saudi Arabia. We explored perceptions toward vaccination, social isolation and community adherence to social distancing measures.
METHODS: We collected data reported by the Weqaya, Saudi Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, and conducted a cross-sectional study within the province.
RESULTS: Up to 9 May 2021, 15 497 positive cases were detected, comprising a prevalence of 1.46%. Uyun Al-Jiwa and Riyadh Al-Khabra had the highest infection rate. Our sample of 511 participants revealed an exposure rate of 52.1% (n=266) with no specific sociodemographic risk factor. Self-isolation following exposure to a confirmed or probable case occurred less among older age groups and married participants, and was not influenced by the presence of underlying chronic diseases. The majority of participants perceived community compliance with social distancing measures to fall within the ‘sometimes’ category. Finally, the vaccination acceptance rate was 72.6% (n=371).
CONCLUSION: The findings of the current study emphasise the need to adopt further measures to encourage adherence to social distancing and self-isolation, especially among vulnerable groups.

Authors: AlMweisheer Areej , AlAtawi Aisha 
Published: September 2021

Lactation ketoacidosis is an uncommon cause of high anion gap metabolic acidosis affecting breastfeeding women due to increased metabolic demands, reduction in carbohydrate intake, and acute illness. Meanwhile, recent literature showed that COVID-19 might cause ketosis, ketoacidosis, and diabetic ketoacidosis. We report a case of a 22-year-old lady, four weeks postpartum, with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19. She presented with severe symptomatic ketoacidosis with a high anion gap, ketonuria and hypoglycemia that was due to lactation ketoacidosis. She was not tolerating orally for days because of abdominal pain, vomiting, and viral infection. After proper treatment in the ward for the presenting symptoms of lactation ketoacidosis and refeeding, she rapidly improved and discharged five days later. While ketoacidosis may be induced by starvation and/or lactation, it is our conclusion that the condition may be aggravated by COVID-19 infection. Emergency services should consider the risk of lactation ketoacidosis exacerbated by COVID- 19 in postpartum women.

Authors: Alqahtani Aisha 
Published: September 2021

ABSTRACT

Background: Challenges related to the residency programme differ according to residents’ roles, interactions, culture, responsibilities and expectations.

Aim: This study aims to explore the challenges faced by emergency medicine physicians during their residency programme. We also aim to investigate the influence of several demographic variables on their training experience.

Method: This is a cross-sectional study, conducted in Saudi Arabia from June, 2021 to July 2021, using a survey designed by the author.

Results: The total number of participants was 37. Of these, 24.3% (n=9) were R1 residents, 10.8% (n=4) were R2, 35.1% (n=13) were R3, and 29.7% (n=11) were R4. While most of the participants (89%) clearly understood which reference to use for studying, only 56.7% had a clear understanding of how to study for the exams. Reading club was advocated by 72% of participants, and only half the participants had a positive perception of leading, preparing, and discussing topics during academic activity. Of all the residency levels, R3 residents were the most supportive of having expert physician guidance during ED procedures, p=0.04. Other factors given more importance by R3 residents than by other levels were mentorship, p=0.051, and having a course review for the exam, p=0.001.

Conclusion: This study uncovers several challenges reported by participants from different residency levels. We noted that the R3 training level, being a period of transition from junior to senior level, is a significant period requiring more attention; more emphasis on mentorship and reading club is advocated.
¿Qué es eso que llaman cultura?
Authors: Cruz-Ricárdez Blanca Sofía 
Published: September 2021

The word culture refers to the action of cultivating, but over time it has been used to name and encompass different actions, behaviors, manifestations and ways of thinking of the human being. There are several (as) authors (as) who have tried to define it, but in some cases they only focus on the type of settlement or ways of adapting to the environment, the kinds of tools, artifacts or products; Others are more inclined to the behavior of human beings, their beliefs and interactions with different groups, ways of organizing their society or understanding and explaining the environment.
By managing to satisfy their basic needs, human beings have been building more complex manifestations, both material, intellectual and spiritual, and for this reason, the definitions of culture have also been changing.

Authors: Kincheloe Thomas , Cherry Christina , Yoo Francis 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Functional immobility has demonstrated a higher risk of all-cause mortality in geriatric population. It is noted that musculoskeletal pain is one major factor involved with geriatric functional immobility. The fascial distortion model (FDM) utilizes pathognomonic physical gestures to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal pain. In this case study, a long-term nursing facility patient with significantly prolonged wheelchair-to-bed transfer presented with several upper and lower extremity fascial distortions. After FDM treatment, the patient demonstrated a moderate return of functional mobility. This case presents the utility of FDM treatment in cases of decreased functional mobility due to musculoskeletal pain as well as treatment for patients in skilled nursing facility settings.

Published: September 2021

Dyslexia can involve among others, difficulties in spoken language. However, there is limited local data on oral language (narrative skills) and literacy skills in children with dyslexia. The relationship between language and literacy is well documented although they involve complicated and non-straightforward processes. There is also evidence suggesting a link between language difficulties with subsequent literacy difficulties. Thus, this study aims to identify and describe the language and literacy skills of Malay children with dyslexia, and to discuss the possible relationships between them. Subjects were six children with dyslexia in the Klang Valley, Malaysia aged 8:0 to 9:11 (mean age, 8:10) who were compared to an age-matched control group (n = 10). The battery of tests administrated was phonological awareness test, language task, narrative, and literacy tasks. Our findings showed that children with dyslexia had generally weaker language and literacy skills than the control group. There were significant differences (p < .05) in grammar understanding, sentence repetition, and reading and spelling at both word and paragraph levels. Pearson correlation between language and literacy was shown to be positive and strong, r = .887, p < .05. The qualitative discussion of the data is presented. Findings from this study would provide useful information to teachers and speech-language therapists in their teaching or planning of appropriate clinical evaluation and management of children with dyslexia.

Published: September 2021

Background
The prevalence of depression in sexually transmitted infections (STIs) patients is much higher than general public. However, studies focusing on comprehensive psychosocial effects on depression among STIs patients are limited. This study aimed to examine association of multiple psychosocial syndemic conditions with depression among STIs patients in Shanghai, China.

Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional study and recruited 910 STIs patients from Shanghai Skin Disease Hospital. Participants self-reported their demographics and themselves completed the scales of depression, self-esteem, loneliness, social support, entrapment, defeat and interpersonal needs. Logistic regressions were performed to detect the possible contributing psychosocial factors for depression and to verify the syndemic conditions of psychosocial problems.

Results
Of the STIs patient sample, the prevalence of depression was 17.9%. Multivariable analysis showed low-level self-esteem (odds ratio [ORm]: 2.18, 95% CI [1.19–4.00]) and social support (ORm: 2.18, 95% CI [1.37–3.46]), high-level entrapment (ORm: 6.31, 95% CI [3.75–10.62]) and defeat (ORm: 2.60, 95% CI [1.51–4.48]) increased the risk of depression. Psychosocial syndemic conditions magnified effect in fusing depression (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 11.94, 95% CI [7.70–18.53]). Participants with more than 4 psychosocial problems were about 22 times more likely to have depression (AOR: 22.12, 95% CI [13.19–37.09]).

Conclusions
The psychosocial problems syndemic magnifying the risk of depression was confirmed and psychosocial interventions to prevent depression is needed among STIs patients.
LncRNAs specifically overexpressed in endocervical adenocarcinoma are associated with an unfavorable recurrence prognosis and the immune response
Authors: Song Yong , Nie Long , Zhang Yu-Ting 
Published: September 2021

Background
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common gynecological tumor in terms of both the incidence and mortality of females worldwide. Cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) accounts for 70–80% of cervical cancers, and endocervical adenocarcinoma (EAC) accounts for 20–25%. Unlike CSCC, EAC has worse clinical outcomes and prognosis. In this study, we explored the relationship between various types of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and pathological types of cervical cancer.

Methods
RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and clinical data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were used in this study. A single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) and the ESTIMATE package were used to assess lncRNA activity and immune responses, respectively. RT-qPCR was performed to verify our findings.

Results
We explored the relationship between various types of lncRNAs and pathological types of cervical cancer. A series of long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) and antisense RNAs, which are the major types of lncRNAs, were identified to be specifically expressed in EAC and associated with a poor recurrence prognosis in patients with cervical cancer, suggesting that they might serve as independent prognostic markers of recurrence in patients with cervical cancer. RT-qPCR was performed to verify the 10 EAC-specific lncRNAs in cervical cancer samples we collected. Furthermore, the overexpression of these lncRNAs was positively correlated with EAC pathology levels but negatively correlated with immune responses in the microenvironment of cervical cancer.

Conclusions
These lncRNAs potentially represent new biomarkers for the prediction of the recurrence prognosis and help obtain deeper insights into potential immunotherapeutic approaches for treating cervical cancer.

Authors: Hunde Gudina Soboksa , Ashagre Habtamu , Abraham Thomas 
Published: September 2021

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the major cereal crops in central high land of Ethiopia. However, its production and productivity is constrained by weed infestation and inappropriate seed rate used. Hence, an experiment was conducted to determine the optimal seed rate and weeding frequency for bread wheat production in Toke Kutaye district of West Shewa Zone of Oromia Regional State during 2020 main cropping season. Treatments consisted of five levels of seed rates (75, 100, 125, 150, and 175 kgha-1) and four levels of weeding frequency (zero weeding, once weeding (15 DAE), twice weeding (15 and 45 DAE) and thrice weeding (15, 45 and 75 DAE). Experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with factorial combination replicated thrice. Results of the study revealed that the interaction of seed rate and weeding frequency significantly (P≤0.05) influenced phenological and growth parameters except days reqired for 50% emergence and yield of bread wheat. Highest relative yield loss (71.3%) was recorded from weedy plot with 75 kgha-1 seed rate, while the lowest loss (1.2%) was recorded at 175 kgha-1seed rate with thrice hand weeding. Highest net benefit of ETB 73,170 ha-1 , marginal rate of return 884.4% and value to cost ratio of ETB 8.34 per unit of investment was obtained from 175 kgha-1 seed rate combined with thrice hand weeding. Therefore, use of 175 kgha-1 seed rate with thrice hand weeding was found profitable, and recommended to be practiced by wheat growers of the study area and similar agro-ecologies.

Published: September 2021

Consequents upon the efficacies of the local claims of Aframomum melegueta (Ataare) and Syzygium aromaticum (Kanafuru) in the treatment of respiratory infections and diseases in the study area, the present study was conducted to investigate the phytochemical, antioxidant capacity and nutritional composition in compounds of Aframomum melegueta and Syzygium aromaticum seeds to validates their local claims. The aqueous extracts of the plants seeds were obtained using standard procedures. The phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, terpenoids and phenols in the aqueous extracts of the plants seeds, while tannins was absent in the extract of Aframomum melegueta. Flavonoids and phenols revealed the highest antioxidant potential of the plants quantitatively at 0.1 g/m. The proximate contents of the plants seeds showed the level of crude contents ranging from moisture (7.34% ± 0.01 and 13.74% ± 0.03), fiber (28.33% ± 0.02 and 16.23% ± 0.02), protein (21.03% ± 0.02 and 10.79% ± 0.05), fat (7.13% ± 0.02 and 27.94% ± 0.10) and carbohydrates (32.76% ± 0.03 and 26.53% ± 0.02) respectively. The results also revealed the presence of potassium (63.50% ± 0.2 ppm and 64.20% ± 0.2 ppm), calcium (7.54% ± 0.2 ppm and 10.40% ± 0.2 ppm) and magnesium (9.05% ± 0.2 ppm and 9.11% ± 0.2 ppm) in the two plants seeds respectively. Therefore this study justifies the local use of Aframomum melegueta (Ataare) and Syzygium aromaticum (Kanafuru) as sources of medicine to manage and alleviate various symptoms associated with respiratory diseases and health conditions.

Published: September 2021

Improving drought stress tolerance in maize is essential to increase its production and yield worldwide. Thus, the present study was conducted to investigate the improvement of drought tolerance in maize (Zea mays L.) by exogenous application of proline (25 and 50mM) on two maize varieties. Maize plants were subjected to drought stress at various phases of plant growth under pot culture conditions and proline was applied as foliar spray. Water deficit stress caused a significant decrease (by approximately 25%) in growth and yield of both maize varieties by decreasing plant height, cob length, dry root weight, grains per cob and 100-grain weight. Water deficit stress also decreased chlorophyll and intercellular proline contents, and antioxidant enzyme activities viz. catalase (CAT), guaiacol peroxidase (POX) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX). Exogenous application of proline (50 mM) was found to be more effective in increasing growth and yield of both varieties. These increases were positively associated with increased levels (by at least 15%) of chlorophyll and intracellular proline, and enhanced activities of CAT, POX and APX enzymes in both varieties. Interaction effects of exogenous proline and water deficit stress were significant in aspects of higher growth and yields and enhanced levels of chlorophyll, intracellular proline and antioxidant enzyme activities. Therefore, it is concluded that foliar application of proline improves drought tolerance by modulating chlorophyll and intracellular proline contents, and antioxidant enzyme activities.

Published: September 2021

A dual-powered cooker is a combination of components that makes possible the use of alternative heat sources. Due to the irregular power supply common in developing countries, as well as the growing high cost of hydrocarbon fuel sources, the need arises for the development of a dual energy source that uses both electricity and gas for heating and cooking. The aim of this research work is to design, construct and carry out a performance evaluation of a dual-powered cooker.
The materials for the research work were locally sourced and selected based on suitability in reference to the design requirement of the cooker. The cooker consists of two divisions, each fitted with a burner operating on distinct energy sources, electricity and gas. Within the electric burner is a heating element that generates and dissipates heat across a hotplate. On the other hand, cooking gas is supplied to the burner located at the other segment of the cooker via a threaded pipe connection to a gas cylinder, secured unto a control mechanism that allows the burning rate to be varied progressively and continuously. The temperature of the water was allowed to synergize with the ambient temperature of the room before testing.
Several important findings can be drawn from this assessment. The gas cooker has a higher overall thermal efficiency between (57.50% [without lid] - 62.84% [with lid]) as opposed to the efficiency of its electric counterpart, which falls between (29.78% [without lid] - 39.12% [with lid]).
The dual-powered cooker was successfully designed, constructed and evaluated. The gas cooker has a higher efficiency than the electric cooker. Primarily, the gas cooker is at an advantage as it does not need to preheat or rely on power from an electric source subject to fluctuation in voltage before cooking, unlike the electric cooker; therefore, making it better at a wider range of cooking operations.It combines the best of gas and electric cookers. Gas hobs that are quick to heat up and easy to control, plus electric ovens with more accurate heat settings and multiple features.
