Authors: Vereshchagin I. E. , Ganyukov V. I. , Mamchur I. N. 
Published: September 2019

Aim To evaluate cardioprotective effects of combined intracoronary phosphocreatine and succinic acid administration after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ST elevation acute coronary syndrome who were present within 12 hours of symptom onset.Methods Seven patients with STEMI presenting within 12 hours of onset of symptoms and thrombotic occlusion of the left anterior descending artery were included in the study. Evaluation of efficiency and safety was performed with the recording of major adverse cardiac events, evaluation of the procedure success, and the rate of composite endpoints.Results Six (85.7%) patients after primary PCI showed TIMI grade 3 flow on control coronary angiography. None complications had been reported after intracoronary administration of phosphocreatine and succinic acid. Acquired left ventricular aneurysms were found in two patients in the in-hospital period. One patient was readmitted with acute coronary syndrome without ST-segment elevation. Coronary angiography reported restenosis of the previously implanted stent. No definite increase in the left ventricular ejection fraction had been found in the in-hospital and long-term period.Conclusion There were no evidences on definite increase in myocardial contractility. The obtained results might partially be explained by the median symptom-to-balloon time over 400 minutes.

Luminol in the forensic science
Authors: Da Silva Rafaela Rogiski , Agustini Bruna Carla , Da Silva André Luís Lopes , Frigeri Henrique Ravanhol 
Published: September 2019

In a crime scene, the collection of evidence and a subsequent laboratory analysis compose the fundamental steps to allow the expert to reveal the truth for the final verdict in a jury and to bring back the comfort to the victim’s family. Bloodstains are usually found and sent to laboratories as a vestige to unravel the origin of the material. However, some scenes are modified in order to conceal the real culprit for the criminal act. For these cases, the luminol reagent can be useful. This test is very often used to visualize occult blood. Luminol is considered the most sensitive test once it can identify the blood presence in scale of nanograms. When this reagent comes into contact with blood,the light emission occurs through a phenomenon known as chemiluminescence. This luminescence can be produced by other interfering compounds, leading to a misinterpretation for the presence of blood. Despite this shortcoming, the present review article highlights the indispensability of the reagent luminol on a crime scene.

Abstract
Background: Utilization of Internet is critical to retrieve health information particularly for countries where health care delivery system is incongruent with its population otherwise it could be difficult to address all health problems of the people with limited health professionals. This study sought to determine the magnitude of the Internet use for health information and its associated factors.Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the status of Internet utilization to access health information and its associated factors among the undergraduate students in Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia.Methods: A facility based cross-sectional study was conducted among 845 undergraduate students who were selected by Stratified multi-stage sampling from 19 randomly selected departments of Addis Ababa University. Data were collected from March to April 2019 using a pretested structured interviewer-administered questionnaire. The data were entered in to Epi-Info version 7 and exported to the SPSS version 23 for analysis. A binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the association between the study and outcome variables. Result: Almost all 761 (98.8%) of the University students have ever used the Internet for general purposes. Among these the proportion of Internet use, about 59.1% (95% CI: 55.5-62.7) of them used the Internet for health information. Adjusting for all other factors in the final model, Digital health literacy (AOR=1.656, 95% CI: (1.143, 2.397), field of study (AOR= 0.025, 95% CI: (0.007, 0.087), year of study (AOR= 1.609, 95% CI: (1.130, 2.290), and computer device ownership (AOR= 2.314, 95% CI: (1.392, 3.844) were found to be significantly associated with the Internet use for health information.Conclusion: The proportion of Internet use for health information was found to be lower. Digital health literacy, being health science student, year of study and computer ownership were found to be important predictors.

Abstract
Background：Porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) is a newly detected pathogen from pigs in the past few years. As the infection rate of PCV3 in the herd is getting higher and wider, the infection is more and more serious. The virus with unclear clinical symptoms and pathogenesis is also paid more and more attention. And detection of pathogenic antibodies has become an important issue. Methods:In this experiment, Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) was combined with Lateral flow dipstick (LFD) to establish a rapid and convenient detection method (LAMP-LFD). Results:The results showed that the band was darkened at a nucleic acid concentration of 0.2 pg/ μL using a conventional PCR method, and a clear detection line was observed at a nucleic acid concentration of 0.2 fg/μL using the LAMP-LFD method. The primer and hybridization probe are only compatible with PCV3.Compared to the PCR method, the LAMP-LFD method has a shorter time (about 1 h) and requires less instrumentation. Conclusions: The test results show that the LAMP-LFD method has extremely high sensitivity and specificity. The operation is simple and quick. The visual effect of the detection results is better than that of PCR and single LAMP test, which can bring convenience in practical production applications.

Authors: camtosun ahmet , Topcu Ibrahim 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
Background: We investigated the association of the blood parameters such as neutrophil, platelet accounts and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with tumor type, tumor size and Fuhrman grade in nonmetastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cases. Methods: A total of 343 patients with nonmetastatic (T1- 4N0M0) RCC were included into the study. The patients were divided into four groups: clear cell (group-1), papillary (group-2), chromophobes (group-3) and other pathologies (group-4). In each grouping systems, the NLR, white blood cell (WBC), platelet (PLT), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) values were compared. Results: There were 222 patients with clear cell (group-1), 62 papillary (group-2), 16 chromophobes (group-3) and 43 patients with other pathologies (group-4). There was a significant difference between the groups in group-1 and group-3 in terms of white blood cell (WBC), platelet (PLT), lymphocyte and neutrophil count. However, there was no significant difference between the groups by the surveys in terms of Neutrophil / Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) values. There was no significantly difference between survival and NLR either. Conclusion: NLR is a cheap and easy parameter to calculate but is not suitable to predict tumor prognosis and survival yet. NLR cut-off value is the biggest problem for now. But evidences show, we are too close to overcome this problem.
Relationship between Traumatic Exposure and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder among Flood Victims: Roles of Fear and Self-Disclosure

Published: September 2019

Abstract
Background: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is one of the most prevalent psychopathologies experienced by victims following natural disasters. The severity of traumatic experience may be a critical risk factor for the development of PTSD. Nevertheless, other factors may also lead to PTSD. We propose that fear and self-disclosure could be two important factors. Previous studies have examined their unique roles in PTSD, but their combined role in PTSD has been rarely assessed. To fill this gap, the aim of this study was to examine the relationship between severity of traumatic exposure, fear, self-disclosure, and PTSD among victims following flood disaster. Methods: one hundred ninety-nine participants completed self-report questionnaires. Descriptive statistics were obtained using SPSS 17.0 and Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to obtain correlations between major variables. Results: results indicated that severity of traumatic exposure not only had a direct effect on PTSD, but also it had an indirect effect on PTSD via activating victims’ fear. Moreover, self-disclosure played a buffering role between fear and PTSD. However, the role of fear in PTSD may decrease with increases in levels of self-disclosure. Conclusions: Traumatic exposure had positive predictive effects for PTSD and fear. Self-disclosure had negative predictive effects for PTSD. Fear played a mediating role between severity of traumatic exposure and PTSD, self-disclosure played a moderating role in the relationship between fear and PTSD. Psychological interventions should focus on the regulation of fear and improvement of self-disclosure following traumatic exposure.

Abstract
Background In Ethiopia, caesarean section delivery has become a popular method preferred by mothers and husbands recently. Identifying associated demographic health factors to increase the rate of caesarean section is desirable in Ethiopia.Methods Community based cross-sectional study design was conducted among women in the reproductive age group (age 15–49) in Ethiopia. The analysis was based on data from mothers who had given at least one birth during the five years preceding the survey. The data are accessed from 2016 Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey. The study was applied multilevel logistics regression model.Results Mothers were urban residence more undergoing to C-section than those rural. More educated mothers were more delivering with C-section compared with those illiterate. A mother had multiple pregnancy more delivering with c-section than those single pregnancy (p = 0.0001). A mother had been higher body mass index were more likely to delivering with caesarean section than those smaller body mass index (p = 0.0001). Caesarean section was increased when mothers goes to elder (p = 0.0001).Conclusions The finding of this study was mothers education level, Birth order, preceding birth interval, multiple pregnancy, maternal age and interaction effect BMI with household wealth index was statistically significant associated factors to increase rate of caesarean section. Residence and region was community level factors to increase caesarean section delivery. Therefore; community awareness and perception creation towards caesarean section with its side effect is essential in Ethiopia.
Lower levels of TSH in vitamin D sufficient Graves patients and higher rates of vitamin D deficiency in graves patients: a case-control study
Authors: Ahi Salma , Kazemi Mehrdad , Hatemi Naser 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased incidence of autoimmune thyroid diseases. Its association with Hashimoto has previously been discussed in several studies, but its role in Graves' disease is yet to be elucidated; the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of vitamin D on hyperthyroid patients regardless of the cause (autoimmune, non-autoimmune and control) ‏. A total of 187 patients were divided into three groups: 74 patients with autoimmune hyperthyroidism (Graves), 43 non-immune patients (Toxic thyroid adenoma and goiter multi-nodular) and 70 healthy patients as the control group. The primary outcome was the frequency of vitamin D deficient patients and the level of vitamin D in each group. The secondary outcomes were measured as the values ​​of anti-thyroid antibody and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies, TSH, T3, and T4. Based on the results, higher levels of TSH were observed in Graves patients who were vitamin D sufficient in comparison to Graves subjects with moderate vitamin D deficiency (P=0.022). Also, vitamin D sufficient control subjects had higher TSH levels than subjects with severe (p<0.0001) and moderate (P<0.0001) vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency was more frequent in Graves patients, however the difference was not significant (P-value>0.05). Vitamin D deficiency as an effective factor in thyroid autoimmune diseases is more frequent in autoimmune hyperthyroid disease patients. Moreover, vitamin D sufficient Graves' participants had higher TSH levels compared with vitamin D deficient ones, probably protecting them from developing osteoporosis. Low TSH levels in hyperthyroid patients are one of the osteoporosis risk factors‏.

Abstract
Objectives We aimed to evaluate the association of metabolic syndrome (MetS), its components and lipid profile in mid-pregnancy with preterm delivery and preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM).Methods This prospective cohort study was conducted on 203 pregnant women between 24-28 weeks of gestation, undergoing the gestational diabetes screening test with 50 gr glucose challenge test (GCT). Fasting serum total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high -density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglyceride (TG) levels were measured during the week after GCT assessment. Information on the participants' pre-pregnancy weight, demographic/ reproductive characteristics, and height and blood pressure (BP) measurements were documented at baseline entry into the study. Metabolic syndrome was defined as the co-existence of 3 or more of the following criteria: Body mass index (BMI) before pregnancy≥30 kg/m2, BP≥130/85 mmHg, GCT≥140mg/dl, TG≥150mg/dl, and HDL-C≤50mg/dl. All participants were followed through routine prenatal care, up to delivery. Any deliveries or rupture of membranes of less than or equal to weeks of pregnancy, were considered preterm delivery and PPROM respectively. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS V.20, and p-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant.Results MetS was detected in 10 (4.9%) of participants. Logistic regression analysis showed HDL-C levels, and hypertension had significant effects on preterm delivery occurrence [(OR: 0.952, 95%CI: 0.910_0.995), (OR: 1.629, 95% CI: 1.554_1.709) respectively], but no statistically significant results were found for PPROM.Conclusions Low HDL-C levels and hypertension in mid-pregnancy may increase the occurrence of preterm deliveries, indicating that MetS and its components should be monitored more closely in pregnancy.
Unravelling gendered practices in the public water sector in Nepal
Authors: Shrestha Gitta , Clement Floriane 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
Despite decades of gender mainstreaming in the water sector, a wide gap between policy commitments and outcomes remains. This study aims at offering a fresh perspective on such policy gaps, by analysing how gendered discourses, institutions and professional culture contribute to policy gaps. We rely on a conceptual framework originally developed for analysing strategic change, which is used to analyse gender in the public water sector in Nepal. Our analysis relies on a review of national water policies and a series of semi-structured interviews with male and female water professionals from several public agencies. Our findings evidence how dominant discourses, formal rules and professional culture intersect to support and reproduce hegemonic masculine attitudes and practices of water professionals. Such attitudes and practices in turn favour a technocratic implementation of policy measures. We argue that gender equality policy initiatives in the water sector have overly focused on local level formal institutions and have not adequately considered the effects of masculine discourses, norms and culture to be effective in making progress towards gender equity. We conclude with policy recommendations.
