BACKGROUND: The Lewis (b) blood group antigen-Binding Adhesion2 (BabA2) has been reported to mediate the attachment of H. pylori to human. AIM: assessment the diagnostic potential of detection of (BabA2) gene compared with immunostaining of Lewis (b) by specific mouse monoclonal antibodies in gastric biopsies from Egyptian Patients as a diagnostic maker for Helicobacter pylori infection. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty untreated patients suffering from dyspeptic complaints were enrolled in this study and underwent for upper gastro-duodenal endoscopy. Biopsies were taken for histological examination by (H&E) and immunohistochemical analysis for Lewis b by specific mouse monoclonal antibodies, and scoring of Lewis b expression in gastric tissue biopsy as well as molecular detection of BabA2 gene of H. pylori by PCR. Biochemical analysis was performed to detect the presence of H. pylori urease activity using Rapid Urease Test (RUT). RESULTS : Out of 50 gastric biopsies, 41 biopsies were positive for histological, Immunostaining for Lewis b expression and urease activity test (RUT) for H pylori. RUT showed a sensitivity of 87.8%, specificity 88.9%, positive predictive value (PPV) 97.2%, and negative predictive value (NPV) 61.5%. BabA2 gene results revealed that, out of 41 positive biopsied cases, 39 (95.1%) were positive by the PCR test for BabA2 gene. And all 9 negative biopsies (100%) for H pylori negative for BabA2gene so the sensitivity and specificity of BabA2 gene detection in gastric biopsies by PCR were 95.1% and 100%; respectively. CONCLUSION : BabA2 gene detection in gastric tissue biopsies could be suggested as a diagnostic biomarker to be included among the other biomarkers routinely performed for clinical diagnosis of H. pylori infection.

Published: March 2019

BACKGROUND: The effect of short-term interventions using high-velocity isokinetic or plyometric exercises has not been thoroughly investigated. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of a lower body 3-week protocol using an isokinetic or a plyometric exercise program on strength and jump performance. METHODS: Thirty-six non-trained men were randomly allocated to the following three groups: (i) Isokinetic only (ISO, [Formula: see text] 12), performed 6 sets of 10 repetitions of concentric leg extension and flexion at 300[Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]s[Formula: see text] using an isokinetic dynamometer (Biodex-System-3); (ii) Plyometric only (PLY, [Formula: see text] 12) performed 6 sets of 10 repetitions of vertical jump; and (iii) Control, non-training group ([Formula: see text] 12). A 3-week training program involving two weekly workout sessions was implemented. Pre and post intervention measurements of knee extensor and flexor maximal peak torque, total work and average power at 300[Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]s[Formula: see text] and vertical jump performance were determined. RESULTS: Compared to baseline ISO significantly ([Formula: see text] 0.05) increased knee extension peak torque and average power. No other significant differences were observed at post-intervention or between groups. CONCLUSIONS: Compared to performing plyometric exercise alone, a 3-week intervention using only isokinetic training enhanced knee extensors strength. A more effective and specific neural adaptations driven by the isokinetic protocol over a short period of time could explain the observed responses.

Published: March 2019

Background: Visit-to-visit blood pressure (BP) variability (VVV) is increasingly recognized as a marker of cardiovascular risk. Although implicated in cognitive decline, few studies are currently available assessing its effects on established dementia. Objective: To investigate if VVV is associated with one-year rate of decline in measures of cognition and function in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in the Doxycycline And Rifampicin for Alzheimer’s Disease study. Methods: Patients were included if ≥3 BP readings were available ( n = 392). VVV was defined using different approaches including the coefficient of variation (CV) in BP readings between visits. Outcomes included rates of decline in the Standardized Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale–Cognitive Subscale (SADAS-cog), Standardized MMSE, Clinical Dementia Rating Scale, the Quick Mild Cognitive Impairment screen and the Lawton-Brody activities of daily living (ADL) scale. Results: Half of the patients (196/392) had a ≥4-point decline in the SADAS-cog over one-year. Using this cut-off, there were no statistically significant associations between any measures of VVV, for systolic or diastolic BP, with and without adjustment for potential confounders including treatment allocation, history of hypertension and use of anti-hypertensive and cognitive enhancing medications. Multiple regression models examining the association between systolic BP CV by quartile and decline over one-year likewise showed no clinically significant effects, apart from a U-shaped pattern of ADL decline of borderline clinical significance.∥Conclusions: This observational study does not support recent research showing that VVV predicts cognitive decline in AD. Further studies are needed to clarify its effects on ADL in AD.

Published: March 2019

Background: Research has shown that individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) value quality of life (QoL) above and beyond cognitive function or other potential outcomes in MCI. There is evidence supporting the negative impact of poor physical function on QoL ratings. Objective: The study explored whether a modified measure of self-efficacy for managing MCI and education mediated and/or moderated the relationship between physical function and QoL in persons with MCI. Methods: Baseline data from 200 participants with MCI were obtained from a larger study assessing the effectiveness of a behavioral intervention. Physical function was assessed by the Short Physical Performance Battery. QoL was assessed with the Quality of Life in Alzheimer’s Disease scale. Memory-related self-efficacy was assessed using a modified 9-item version of the Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy Scales. Mediation and moderation analyses tested the hypotheses that self-efficacy and education alter the association between physical function and QoL in individuals with MCI. All analyses were adjusted for age, cognitive severity, and sex. Results: Self-efficacy for managing MCI was a significant mediator of the association between physical function and perceived QoL. Individuals with better physical function reported higher self-efficacy which was associated with higher QoL ratings. Conclusions: Greater self-efficacy for managing MCI mediated the negative association between physical function and quality of life in this exploratory study. Interventions aimed at enhancing memory self-efficacy in MCI may improve perceived QoL, even in the presence of poor physical function. Future research is needed to investigate this further.

Bali is one of the favorite tourist attractions in Indonesia, where the number of foreign tourists visiting Bali is around 4 million over 2015 (Dispar Bali). The number of tourists visiting is spread in various regions and tourist attractions that are located in Bali. Although tourist visits to Bali can be said to be large, the visit was not evenly distributed, there were significant fluctuations in tourist visits. Forecasting or forecasting techniques can find out the pattern of tourist visits.
Forecasting technique aims to predict the previous data pattern so that the next data pattern can be known. In this study using the technique of recurrent neural network in predicting the level of tourist visits. One of the techniques for a recurrent neural network (RNN) used in this study is Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). This model is better than a simple RNN model. In this study predicting the level of tourist visits using the LSTM algorithm, the data used is data on tourist visits to one of the attractions in Bali. The results obtained using the LSTM model amounted to 15,962. The measured value is an error value, with the MAPE technique. The LSTM architecture used consists of 16 units of neuron units in the hidden layer, a learning rate of 0.01, windows size of 3, and the number of hidden layers is 1.

Published: March 2019

Background: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is an infectious disease and common reason for hospitalization of children throughout the world. There are few published data about radiological findings and their relationship with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) severity.
Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate radiological findings in children with community acquired pneumonia (CAP) of different severity.
Materials and method: A prospective study was conducted in the department of Paediatric Respiratory Medicine (Pulmonology) in Dhaka Shishu Hospital from November 2016 and April 2017. A total number of 35 children of 1 month to 10 years, who were admitted with cough or respiratory difficulty and radiological pneumonia were included in this study.
Results: Majority of the study participants 18 (51.43%) were infants with a male preponderance. The most common symptom was cough (94.29%) followed by fever (82.86%) and respiratory distress (42.86%). Crepitation (54.29%), tachypnoea (42.86%) and chest indrawing (28.57%) were the most common signs. Out of total 35 children 17 (48.57%) cases had pneumonia and 18 (51.43%) cases had severe pneumonia. Among chest X-rays, severe pneumonia had greatest frequency of primary end point consolidation (PEP) on right side (n=10, 55.55%), right infiltrates (n=5, 27.78%), bilateral infiltrates (n=2, 11.11%) followed by right sided pleural effusion (n=3, 16.67%) and pneumothorax (n=2, 11.11%). There was no association found between CAP severity and presence of radiological findings of pneumonia.
Conclusion: This study shows that severe CAP may not always be associated with positive radiological findings. This finding may be taken into consideration during the diagnosis and management of CAP.

Published: March 2019

Background: Rapid urbanisation in the 20th century has been accompanied by the development of slums. Nearly one-third of the world’s population and more than 60% of urban population in the least developed countries live in slums, including hundreds of millions of children. Slums are areas of broad social and health disadvantage to children and their families due to extreme poverty, overcrowding, poor water and sanitation, substandard housing, limited access to basic health and education services.
Objective: To assess the demographic and nutritional situation of working slum children in Dhaka city.
Materials and method: This descriptive cross sectional study was conducted at Moghbazar slum situated in Dhaka city from July to December, 2015.
Results: Out of 200 slum children, 57 (28.5%) were in the age group of 12-14 years, among them 110 (55.0%) were male. Regarding educational background, more than fifty percent never attended any kind of school. Forty five percent respondents lived with their parents. About 26% of the slum children were engaged in beggary, 23% were van/rickshaw puller, 22% were tokai, and 10% were cooli. Near about 75% respondents did medium type of work and 80% did 5-8 hour work per day and most of their income was 500-800 Tk. per month. One third respondents were severe under nourished, 50 (25%) were normal and 30 (15%) respondents were obese.
Conclusion: Increasing numbers of slums constitute a major challenge to development. Therefore, health related programmes should focus to improve the overall wellbeing of the working slum children.

Published: March 2019

The increase in industrial growth will be followed by the emergence of side effects, namely the emergence of industrial waste. The waste can be solid wastes, liquid wastes or gaseous wastes. With the increasing number of population, the more waste will be produced in the form of domestic waste, industrial waste and other wastes. In addition to producing products that are beneficial to society, industrialization also has an impact, among others, the production of hazardous and toxic waste materials, which, if discharged into environmental media, can threaten the environment, health and survival of humans and other living things. Industrial growth will have an impact on the increase in industrial waste that will be produced. Therefore, it is also necessary to think about whether the industry produces hazardous waste or not, so it is necessary to determine whether or not to provide waste treatment and how to handle the waste. New industrial wastewater may be discharged into water bodies if it meets the requirements set by the Government. A wastewater treatment plant, is a structure designed to remove biological and chemical waste from water so as to allow the water to be used in other activities. The goal of WWTP is to filter and clean water that has been contaminated by both domestic and industrial chemicals.
