Authors: Ghaffari Seyedeh Fatemeh , Hosseini-Tabaghdehi Monirolsadate , Nikbakht Roya , Jahanfar Shayesteh , Shahhosseini Zohreh 
Published: August 2023

Background:
Fertility, the most important factor in population growth, is affected by various factors, including pandemics. COVID-19 (CV) was a global challenge that spread rapidly around
the world.

Objective:
This study aimed to investigate predictors of fertility desire during the covid virus pandemic.

Methods:
In this cross-sectional study, 315 women who visited health centers in northern Iran for vaccination against covid virus were recruited using convenient sampling. The participants completed the
sociodemographic information, Fertility Desire Scale, and Fear of covid virus scale. Logistic regression analysis was employed to assess the predictive factors of fertility desire.

Results:
The participants' mean age and marriage duration were 34.4 ± 6.7, and 7.3±11.5 years, respectively. It showed fertility desire among household women was about twofold more compared to
employed ones [Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.96, p = 0.009)]. The fertility desire was decreased among more
educated women (OR = 0.43, p= 0.035), women with one child (OR = 0.44, p= 0.030), and women
with no infant gender preferences (OR = 0.53, p= 0.032). Fear of covid virus and any history of covid
virus infection in the participants or their close relatives did not change fertility desire (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:
In conclusion, health policymakers should pay more attention to the potential effects of
women's employment, their educational status, and their attitude toward infant gender preferences on
fertility desire during the development of programs. Further research is needed to examine this empirical association on a global scale and its effect on trying to conceive.

Uncommon Location for a Common Disease, Simulating Cervical Cancer:
A Rare Case Report
Authors: Kumar Naina , Kalyani Kanikaram Poojitha , Sharma Abhimanyu , Sivakoti Sumitra , Mangla Mishu 
Published: August 2023

Background:
Genital tuberculosis (GTB) is a common form of extra-pulmonary TB with
cervical TB being a rare entity accounting for 0.1-0.65% of all TB cases globally. It is usually asymptomatic
but may present with infertility, menstrual irregularities, dyspareunia, dysmenorrhoea, or vaginal
discharge.

Case Presentation:
The present case report briefs about a 39 years old nulliparous infertile woman
who presented with complaints of irregular menstrual cycles and amenorrhea with an erosive papillary
growth over the cervix simulating invasive cervical carcinoma. Her Pap smear report revealed the
presence of granulomas. On cervical punch biopsy also a large number of granulomas were seen and
on Ziehl Nielsen staining the diagnosis of TB was further confirmed by the presence of acid-fast rodlike
bacilli. The patient responded well to anti-tubercular drugs.

Discussion:
GTB in most of the cases remains asymptomatic with infertility being the most common
presenting complaint. Other symptoms include menstrual irregularities, amenorrhoea, dysmenorrhoea,
dyspareunia, chronic pelvic pain, and occasionally abnormal vaginal discharge. Tuberculous cervicitis
is difficult to diagnose clinically and many times mimics cervical malignancy.

Result and Conclusion:
Hence, cervical tuberculosis should be kept in the differential diagnosis of
cervical cancer especially in an infertile woman from a developing country.
Emergence of Monkeypox (MPX): A Close Relative of Small Pox During
COVID-19 Era
Authors: Kour Ivneet , Singhal Lipika , Mehta Sonia , Gupta Varsha 
Published: August 2023

Abstract:
After the eradication of smallpox (SPX), a new zoonotic threat that can trigger outbreaks
has emerged. It may be fatal during the COVID19 outbreak. Humanity continues to be threatened due
to re-emergence of the outbreaks. In most cases, new emerging viral agents originate from nonhuman
hosts with zoonotic origins. Recent outbreaks of zoonotic infectious diseases with the potential to
cause epidemics and pandemics continue to pose a major threat to the health security of entire regions,
continents, and the world at large. Around five decades backthat Monkeypox (MPX) was reported for
the first time in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and was then confined to Central Africa
only. Over the time, it has spread to other regions of Africa as well as outside Africa. As of August
2022, 40398 infections have been confirmed in almost 68 countries that have never reported MPX
before. The majority of infections have been reported in Europe and Southeast Asia. On 23rd August
2022, MPX was declared a public health emergency of international concern, a step below declaring
any disease as a pandemic. The article discusses the recent history of MPX outbreaks, as well as the
evolving clinical manifestations of the disease, and the possible causes of the increase in cases, including
the cessation of SPX vaccinations.

Published: August 2023

Abstract:
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) as a major component of cancer stroma contribute to diverse procedures of most solid tumors and might be a targeted cancer therapy approach. Their speci-fied features, related signaling pathways, distinct biomarkers, and sub-populations need to be deci-phered. There is a need for CAF extraction or induction for in vitro investigations. Some miRNAs could activate CAF-like phenotype and they also interfere in CAF-mediated drug resistance, aggressiveness, and metastatic behaviors of several cancer cell types. Due to the complex relevance of miRNA and CAFs, these non-coding oligonucleotides may serve as attractive scope for anti-cancer targeted thera-pies, but the lack of an efficient delivery system is still a major hurdle. Here, we have summarized the investigated information on CAF features, isolation, and induction procedures, and highlighted the miRNA-CAF communications, providing special insight into nano-delivery systems.

Methicillin, β-lactams, and Clindamycin Resistance Profiles of Staphylococcus
aureus Strains Isolated from Patients with UTI in Bechar Province
(Algeria)
Authors: Benyagoub Elhassan 
Published: August 2023

Introduction:
Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterial pathogen responsible for many dis-eases. Multidrug resistance in S aureus has become common worldwide and is a serious clinical issue in the treatment and care of S. aureus-infected patients. S. aureus uropathogenic strains isolated from patients with UTI in Bechar province (Algeria) were phenotypically identified and evaluated for multiple drug resistance (MDR) patterns against recommended antimicrobial drugs.

Methods:
Through selective media, the uropathogenic S. aureus strains were isolated by analyzing a
total of 211 urine samples, then subjected to various biochemical identification tests. Multidrug resistance
pattern (MRSA, MLSB, and β-lactamase production) among Staphylococcus aureus uropathogenic
strains was performed using phenotypic tests.

:
A total of 50 S. aureus strains were isolated, i.e., 40,48% of all the isolated uropathogenic agents estimated
at 126 isolates. More than 69% of the women had a urinary tract infection, i.e., a sex ratio (SR)
of 0,43. The susceptibility test results showed that the isolated S. aureus strains were resistant to various
antibiotics of the β-lactams class (penicillin, cefoxitin, and oxacillin) and were susceptible to gentamicin,
chloramphenicol, co-trimoxazole, vancomycin, ofloxacin, and ciprofloxacin. Cefoxitin disk diffusion
and agar screening tests showed that all the isolated S. aureus strains were qualified as MRSA at
the rate of 100% (50/50), whereas a rate of 74% (37/50) was granted to MRSA using oxacillin disk
diffusion test. The highest percentage of MDR-MRSA was observed in class three of antibiotics 12
(24%). The lowest percentage was observed in classes 8 and 9 of antibiotics 1 (2%). For MDR-MRSA,
the MAR index ranged from 0,27 to 1,0.

Results::
Penicillin disk diffusion (DD) and DDST (PI/PIT) tests showed a production rate of β-lactamase
in the range of 94% and 80%, respectively. 85,1% (40/50) of penicillin-resistant strains were
positive for DDST. Thus, the D-test among MRSA strains shows a rate of 38% (19/50) of cMLSB and
no strain attributed to the iMLSB phenotype.

Conclusion:
This is an alarming rate, confirming the concern that is still being discussed within the medical teams of the national health sector as well as the Algerian antimicrobial resistance network, which requires prompt intervention to update a new strategy to fight antimicrobial re-sistance.

Published: August 2023

Background:
With the explosion of data in recent years, recommender systems have become increasingly important for personalized services and enhancing user engagement in various industries, including e-commerce and entertainment. Collaborative filtering (CF) is a widely used approach for generating recommendations, but it has limitations in addressing issues such as sparsity, scalability, and prediction errors.

Methods:
To address these challenges, this study proposes a novel hybrid CF method for movie recommendations that combines an incremental singular value decomposition approach with an item-based ontological semantic filtering approach in both online and offline phases. The ontology-based technique improves the accuracy of predictions and recommendations. The proposed method is evaluated on a real-world movie recommendation dataset using several performance metrics, including precision, F1 scores, and MAE.

Results:
The results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms existing methods in terms of accuracy while also addressing sparsity and scalability issues in recommender systems. Additionally, our approach has the advantage of reduced running time, making it a promising solution for practical applications.

Conclusion:
The proposed method offers a promising solution to the challenges faced by traditional CF methods in recommender systems. By combining incremental SVD and ontological semantic filtering, the proposed method not only improves the accuracy of predictions and recommendations but also addresses issues related to scalability and sparsity. Overall, the proposed method has the potential to contribute to the development of more accurate and efficient recommendation systems in various industries, including e-commerce and entertainment.
