Authors: Al Makdad Abdul Salam Mohamed , Al-Haifi Abdulrahman Y. , Al-Mutaa Najlaa Abdullah Mohammed , Al-Shamahy Hassan Abdulwahab 
Published: March 2023

Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a most important health problem, it's a global pandemic. Previous surveys showed a high prevalence of hepatitis B infection in Yemen. Hepatitis B vaccination is the most efficient way to prevent hepatitis B virus infection and its outcomes (such as hepatocellular carcinoma, cirrhosis, and liver failure).
Aim: To measure the immune status of hepatitis B virus amongst first-year students at the faculties of Thamar University during the academic year 2021-2022.
Methods: A total 196 of first-year students participated in this cross-sectional study and tested for anti-HBsAg and the antibody to HBV core antigen (anti-HBc) and HBsAg by using ELISA during the period from January to May 2022 at Thamar University. An anti-HBs antibody titer ≥10 mIU/mL was regarded as being protective against HBV infection.
Results: In this study, 22.4% of the students had protective levels against hepatitis B, while 77.6% had a non-protective level. HBV markers showed that 19.90%, 2.55%, and 75.51% of the students had been vaccinated and immunized due to a previous infection and exposed to HBV infection respectively and only 2.04% of them were non-obvious cases. The prevalence of anti-HBc was 4.6%. Risk factors that showed statistical significance were found between positive anti-HBc and family history of HBV (p=0.01).
Conclusion: The low prevalence of hepatitis B protection levels in Thamar University medical students needs further research and necessitates implementation of a screening and vaccination program for all non-immunized healthcare students.

IMPACT OF SAMPLE STORAGE CONDITIONS ON FORENSIC TOXICOLOGY ANALYSIS – A REVIEW
Authors: ADOUANI Badr , RAHMOUNE Imane , FILALI Houda 
Published: March 2023

In forensic toxicology, the preservation of matrices is a crucial stage in the analysis that affects the accuracy and reliability of the findings. To reduce interference and improve the findings’ interpretation, specimens should be maintained in the right environment. For analytical objectives in forensic toxicology, we aim to characterize the modalities of preservation of the distinct matrices for each incriminated toxin. A comprehensive literature search in both English and French languages was conducted using the keywords "forensic samples preservation" to find pertinent papers in the PubMed and ScienceDirect databases. The results were then carefully examined. The preservation method based on the biological matrix and the required harmful substances was the major focus of the investigation. This bibliographic research’s objective is to understand the sample preservation methods used in diverse studies as well as each method’s limitations in light of the biological matrix and xenobiotics being investigated. The mode and duration of conservation depend closely on the matrix and the toxins to be sought. Certain hazardous compounds' chemical stability in biological matrices is influenced by storage conditions compliance. Therefore, it is apparent that forensic scientists would benefit from knowledge of the sampling and storage procedures for substances suspected of posing a threat.

Abstract
The pharmaceutical market is in a constant state of dynamism. There have been many changes in the market recently, and the business environment has changed, one of the most important factors driving the market being consumer behaviour and habits. Trends towards a healthier lifestyle are reflected in changes in purchasing behaviour, with the consumption of dietary supplements becoming increasingly popular. Within the pharmaceutical supply chain, the analysis focuses on pharmacies. The aim of the study is to describe the market changes affecting pharmacy retailing, in particular the effects of changing consumer habits and more conscious purchasing and the impact of the strong presence of players outside the supply chain on pharmacy turnover.
Between harm and sensationalism: Court reporters negotiating objectivity when reflecting on ethical dilemmas in the Submarine Murder Trial
Authors: Wittchen Maria Bendix 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The trial of amateur submarine builder Peter Madsen for the murder of the Swedish journalist Kim Wall was one of the most publicised trials in recent Danish history. Through in-depth interviews with ten prominent Danish reporters who covered the trial, this study examines how court reporters negotiate and struggle with ethical dilemmas related to objectivity as both an institutional ideal and an ethical rule under the Media Liability Act. I demonstrate how reporters negotiate and strategise to maintain objectivity in relation to facts, relevance, the telling of both sides, and the avoidance of prejudging. I further highlight the dispute between fact-based reporters and a minor group endorsing interpretive and narrative reporting and advocating for a more pragmatic approach to objectivity. A core finding is how technological advancements and massive public interest have paved the way for new ethical practices, referred to here as “strategic ritual 2.0”.
Evaluation of the Completeness and Timeliness of the Infant Pertussis Surveillance System in the Czech Republic in 2015, 2017 and 2019
Authors: LIPTÁKOVÁ Monika , ŠPAČKOVÁ Michaela , BALASEGARAM Sooria , MALÝ Marek , KYNČL Jan , FABIÁNOVÁ Kateřina 
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT

Introduction
The completeness and timeliness of the pertussis questionnaire-based enhanced surveillance system (ESS) among infants and reported pertussis data within the electronic nationwide notification system (NNS) in the years 2015, 2017 and 2019 were evaluated in a pilot study.

Methods
The completeness of the variables for demographic characteristics, date of symptom onset, hospitalisation and vaccination status were assessed in both systems. Timeliness of reporting in the NNS was analysed as the interval between symptom onset and a) the date of first specimen collection (diagnostic delay), and b) the date of the Regional Public Health Authority receiving notification (notification delay).

Results
A total of 121 confirmed pertussis cases were reported to the NNS in the study years, while in the ESS a total of 104 confirmed cases were reported in infants. In both systems most cases were in the age group of one completed month of life (20% versus 23%) and males (55% versus 55%). The majority of cases were hospitalised (81% versus 85%) and unvaccinated (77% versus 78%). Within the NNS, the first dose of vaccine was reported in 13 cases, the second dose in 11, and third dose in three cases. Within the NNS, 100% completeness of following variables was found: symptom onset, week and region of reporting, age, gender and place of isolation. Median diagnostic delay was nine days. Median notification delay was 18 days.

Conclusions
Data completeness was high in the NNS, except for lack of vaccination data in those eligible by age. Efforts to improve the completeness of laboratory-related variables and timeliness are essential. Based on the study results, the project of improving the ESS for infants will continue with regular evaluation.

Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and arterial hypertension (AH) are among the greatest challenges facing health systems worldwide and require comprehensive patient-centred care. The key to successful management in chronic patients is self-management support, which was found to be only weakly implemented in Slovenia. The aim of the study is to develop an evidence-based model of peer support for people with T2D and AH at the primary healthcare level in Slovenia, which could represent a potential solution for upgrading integrated care for these patients.

Methods
A prospective interventional, mixed-methods pilot study will begin by recruiting approximately 40 eligible people with T2D and AH through purposive sampling. The participants will receive structured training, led by a specialist nurse, to become trained peer supporters. Each will voluntarily share their knowledge and experience at monthly group meetings with up to 10 people with T2D and AH over a three-month period in the local community. Data will be collected through interviews and focus groups and questionnaires about socio-demographic and clinical data, knowledge about T2D and AH, participants’ quality of life, level of empowerment and acceptability of the intervention.

Expected results
The study will provide an evidence-based model for integrating peer support into the local community. It is expected that the intervention will prove feasible and acceptable with educational, psychosocial and behavioural benefits.

Conclusion
Peer support through empowerment of people with T2D and AH, family members and other informal caregivers in the local community could scale-up the integrated care continuum and contribute to sustainability of the healthcare system.

Our study aimed to conduct research on Gram-negative bacteria isolated from various clinical samples among cancerous patients and non-cancerous patients in Erbil city to analyze and compare some virulence genes among them such as tuf, atpD1, atpD2, ms-1, ms-2 and ms-3.
Methods: The current study was carried out in Nanakaly hospital and other public health hospitals in Erbil- Kurdistan region at a period extending from August 2021 to March 2022. A total of 100 different clinical samples including urine, sputum, wound swab, stool, blood, have been collected from patients with different types of cancer (n=50) and non-cancerous patients (n=50), from both gender (male and female), without limited age group. Gram-negative bacterial isolates identified by microscopical, macroscopical analysis and Vitek II compact system.
Results: The results of amplification of tuf gene among the cancerous patients were (70%), while the results among the non-cancerous patients was (52%). The percentage of atpD1 from cancer patients were (52%), as well as the appearance among non-cancerous patients were (44%) isolates. The results of atpD2 among cancer patients were (52%). However, the average of atpD2 among patients without cancer were (48%). The results of agarose gel electrophoresis of amplicons appeared that (32%) samples possess ms-1 among cancer cases, while there have not any positive results for control patients. Also, the results of ms-2 gene were (28%) from cancer patients, whereas, the prevalence of ms-2 gene marker among patients without cancer was (6%). The distribution of ms-3 gene was (22%) among cancer patients. Otherwise, the prevalence from samples of patients other than cancer were (20%). According to the statistical tests, the results showed no significant association between genes and type of bacteria in cancerous patients as well as in non-cancerous patients.
Conclusions: tuf, atpD1 and atpD2 genes sealed a discriminated gene as a virulence factor encoding genes for identification of gram-negative bacteria. To the public health and especially from patients with cancer there is a main distribution of ms-1, ms-2 and ms-3 genes among gram-negative bacteria.

Authors: Pastrán López Orlando Gabriel Antonio , Rivero-Castro Gustavo A. , Sanchez-Castro Lilen 
Published: March 2023

El número de cuevas en un determinado ambiente puede ser utilizado como una medida que refleja la preferencia de un armadillo por un hábitat en particular. La topografía, que a su vez está vinculada con los factores edáficos, es el principal factor que explica la elección del lugar donde los armadillos cavan sus cuevas. El objetivo es determinar si la abundancia de las cuevas de Chaetophractus vellerosus esta relacionada con la propiedad física del suelo y la cobertura vegetal en un abanico aluvial en la en la localidad de Matagusanos, departamento Ullum en la provincia de San Juan. Se realizó una transecta aproximadamente de 3 km de longitud abarcando en forma perpendicular la parte apical, intermedia y distal del abanico, con cuadrados de 5 mts x 5 mts con una distancia entre los cuadros de 200 mts efectuándose 15 cuadros de observación en total. En cada zona del abanico se realizó una calicata con sus horizontes correspondientes usando la tabla de Munsell, además se determinó el porcentaje de cobertura de la vegetación dentro del cuadrante. Se encontró una fuerte relación entre la consistencia del suelo y la abundancia de cuevas para la zona intermedia del abanico. También se observó que el porcentaje de cobertura vegetal era similar en las tres zonas del abanico analizado, asimismo, todas las cuevas fueron registradas debajo del dosel.
