ABSTRACT. Soil-Transmitted Helminth (STH) has infected more than one billion people worldwide. Waste collectors are at risk for STH infection because their work mostly in contact with soil and waste. Eosinophilia is a sign of human immune response to STH infection in addition to increased IgE and cytokine production. This cross sectional study aims to examine the association between STH infection and eosinophil levels among waste collectors in Banda Aceh. The study sample were 60 waste collectors working for the Sanitation department of Banda Aceh. Examination of stool samples using Kato-Katz technique revealed the prevalence of STH infection among waste collectors was 23.3% (14/60), consisting of T.trichiura infection (21.7%) and mixed infection (1.6%). There were no single infections of A. lumbricoides nor the hookworm infection was found. Blood tests to count eosinophil showed the prevalence of eosinophilia at 21.7%. There was no significant correlation between the intensity of STH infection and eosinophil levels (p value = 1.00). This study does not recommend the use of eosinophilia to indicate STH infection.Keywords: Eosinophilia, Kato Katz, STH infection, Waste Collectors, Banda AcehABSTRAK.

Published: July 2018

Background:
Pharmacotranscriptomics aims to reach more accurate drug dosing
based on interindividual transcriptome variations. Here, we provide an overview of RNA biomarkers
that could predict the response to glucocorticoids (GCs), considered the standard for
treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), both in adult and pediatric patients. Although
new biological agents are very effective in IBD treatment, GCs are still widely used for induction
of remission in patients with moderate to severe disease. It is important to identify patients
that are poor responders to GCs therapy, because suboptimal response is frequent and associated
with various side effects. A number of genetic variants related to GC mechanism of action
has been studied. However, the majority of reported associations are not consistent. In this regard,
pharmacogenomic research is now exploring the world of RNAs. An appropriate regulation
of the transcriptome, which mainly comprises mRNAs and non-coding RNAs that control
gene expression, has a strong impact in the modulation of GC activity.
<p>
Aim: The aim of this review is to present the current knowledge of the role of the transcriptome
in modulating GC response in pediatric IBD.
<p>
Results: We will discuss the available literature, concerning the development of pharmacotranscriptomic
biomarkers, focusing particularly on non-coding RNAs, and present the results
in this field that elucidate a concrete benefit of translating the knowledge gained in the &quot;omics&quot;
studies into clinical practice.
Investigation of WRF Microphysics Schemes and Dynamics During an Extreme Precipitation Event in East Idaho
Authors: Andretta Thomas A. 
Published: July 2018

Background:The 26 December 2003 snowstorm was a rare and long-lived weather system that affected east Idaho. Light snow began falling Christmas night, became steadier and heavier during the next day, and tapered off during the morning on the 27th. Snowfall estimates of 20.3-38.1 cm (8.0-15.0 in) were observed over a 24-hour period on 26 December 2003 in the lower part of the Snake River Plain, paralyzing local communities and transportation centers with snowdrifts and poor visibilities.Methods:The Weather Research and Forecasting Unified Environmental Modeling System was used to conduct a sensitivity study of five precipitation microphysics schemes at two grid scales during the event.Results:A comparison of the model accumulated total grid scale precipitation at 12-km and 4-km scales with the observed precipitation at several stations in the lower plain, indicated small negative biases (underprediction) in all of the schemes. The Purdue-Lin and Weather Research and Forecasting Double-Moment 6-Class microphysics schemes contained the smallest root mean squared errors.Conclusion:The Purdue-Lin and Weather Research and Forecasting Double-Moment 6-Class schemes provided several insights into the dynamics of the snowstorm. A topographic convergence zone, seeder-feeder mechanism, and convective instability were major factors contributing to the heavy snowfall in the lower plain.

A Marketing Authorization Transfer is may be necessary to a company selling their product rights to another company it’s like acquisition. In Order to transfer any kind of Pharmaceutical Products in ASEAN region from one MAH to other MAH that particular product must have a Marketing Authorization Transfer issued by the competent health/Regulatory Authority. This MAT is issued to a legal entity called MAT. It is a procedure by which the MA is transferred from the Old MAH to New MAH which is a different legal entity. The MA holder is completing responsibility for the life of the pharmaceutical product including all technical development and further alterations. The MAT process outcomes in the original MAH rights and responsibilities concerning the specific pharmaceutical product to be transferred to the New MAH on a specific date on which the transfer is stimulated. According to dossier all the parameters would be present. The expiry date is same and therefore, if applicable, the date by which it has to be renewed in order to remain legal. If any obligations are applicable (post authorization): PSUR, follow-up measures and special commitments.

Developing of the Arctic territories ofRussiamakes it expedient to devise safety means for emergency enhancement of professionals’ resistance to overcooling in order to reduce health risks associated with long-term dwelling under Arctic conditions. To develop and test promising means of non-pharmacological interventions suitable for enhancing the hypothermic resistance of subjects at work under cool environmental conditions, we recruited 37 able-bodied male volunteers, which were assigned to two experimental groups. In Group 1 (25 subjects), 10 sessions of cryothermic training (CTT) consisted of placing each subject in a cryochamber at –150±2° C for 2 to 5 minutes. In Group 2 (12 subjects), CTT was supplemented with 10 sessions of normobaric hypoxic preconditioning: 40 minutes of inhaling of a gas mixture containing 15% oxygen. Hypothermic resistance was assessed during the ﬁrst and the tenth training procedure. The procedures were found to enhance gradually the hypothermic resistance, the outcome being more pronounced in the Group 2. The subjective tolerance to cold was roughly the same in both groups. The mean time of tolerance to hypothermia increased during the tenth vs. the ﬁrst session by 40% in Group 1 vs. 49% in Group 2. Rectal temperature decrease decelerated by 19% vs. 25%, respectively. Systemic circulation responsiveness to hypothermia decreased by 23–40% vs. 28–50%, respectively. Thus, the combined hypothermic and hypoxic preconditioning is found to be an effective and safe means of non-pharmacological emergency enhancement of tolerance to hypothermia.
