Two clusters of COVID-19 cases were identified in Bangkok, Thailand linked to entertainment areas, including pubs, bars and nightclubs in March 2020. A joint investigation was carried out by healthcare staff and epidemiologists from the Division of Epidemiology of Department of Disease Control and the Urban Disease Control and Prevention. A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed to describe characteristics of the outbreak clusters, perform contact tracing, and provide recommendations for outbreak control. In total, there were 15 cases in the first cluster and 31 cases in the second cluster; including both the index cases and cases that were later identified from contact tracing. Sharing utensils, glasses and cigarettes was a key risk behavior. Moreover, active case finding was done among the personnel of a pub linked to the majority of the cases. Eighteen percent of the workers in this pub was infected with SARS-CoV-2. After the reopening of pubs, bars and nightclubs, a sentinel surveillance policy and close monitoring program among people with a history of travelling to or working at entertainment places was implemented.

A sudden increase in patients with acute febrile illness (AFI) in Rangamati General Hospital in June 2018 prompted an investigation to confirm the unusual occurrence of this condition, to identify the cause, and to recommend control measures. All patients had acute onset of fever and joint pain. We used our review of hospital records, interviews of active cases in hospital and the community, and environmental and entomological investigations to generate a hypothesis of possible etiologic agents. Blood samples were tested by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for chikungunya, dengue and Zika viruses. We identified 51 AFI cases in Rangamati Hill District, of which 64.7% were male, 25.5% were aged 21-30 years, and 76.5% were in the community. The outbreak lasted from 27 May to 19 Jun 2018. We concluded that chikungunya caused the outbreak in Rangamati because the AFI cases had fever, joint pain, rash and headache. Twenty-one (41.1%) of the cases were positive for chikungunya virus and Aedes aegypti larvae were found in the households near the cases. This was the first report of chikungunya in this municipal area. We recommended increased public awareness to reduce mosquito breeding places near houses, distributing leaflets on chikungunya disease and using insecticide treated nets.

Introduction. Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the oldest diseases known to attack humans, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Multi-drug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) is a stage or condition in which Mycobacterium tuberculosis becomes minimally resistant to rifampicin administration and also insonicotinylhydrazine (INH). Extensive-drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) is an MDR-TB with Mycobacterium tuberculosis immune characteristics against one of the fluoroquinolone class drugs and one of the second-line injection OAT (capreomycin, kanamycin, and amikacin). The aim of this study was to find out the description of variation in laboratory costs of MDR-TB/XDR patients on one treatment cycle.
Method. The inclusion criteria were patients who had been diagnosed with MDR-TB/XDR and performed laboratory tests. The design of this study was a cross-sectional retrospective analytics using medical records of MDR-TB/XDR patients in MDR division.
Results. There were 30 MDR-TB research subjects and 2 XDR-TB research subjects examined for laboratory examination. Comparison of laboratory mean of MDR-TB/XDR (p = 0,018).
Discussion. There was a significant difference in the total cost of MDR-TB/XDR laboratory examinations in one treatment cycle.
Conclusion. Laboratory examination of MDR-TB/XDR patients requires considerable cost, this is due to the side effects of OAT that require patient clinical monitoring.

Characterisation of pellicle-forming ability in clinical carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
Authors: Ng Heng Kang , Puah Suat Moi , Teh Cindy Shuan Ju , Idris Nuryana , Chua Kek Heng 
Published: May 2023

Background
Acinetobacter baumannii was reported to have resistance towards carbapenems and the ability to form an air-liquid biofilm (pellicle) which contributes to their virulence. The GacSA two-component system has been previously shown to play a role in pellicle formation. Therefore, this study aims to detect the presence of gacA and gacS genes in carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) isolates recovered from patients in intensive care units and to investigate their pellicle forming ability.

Methods
The gacS and gacA genes were screened in 96 clinical CRAB isolates using PCR assay. Pellicle formation assay was performed in Mueller Hinton medium and Luria Bertani medium using borosilicate glass tubes and polypropylene plastic tubes. The biomass of the pellicle was quantitated using the crystal violet staining assay. The selected isolates were further assessed for their motility using semi-solid agar and monitored in real-time using real-time cell analyser (RTCA).

Results
All 96 clinical CRAB isolates carried the gacS and gacA genes, however, only four isolates (AB21, AB34, AB69 and AB97) displayed the ability of pellicle-formation phenotypically. These four pellicle-forming isolates produced robust pellicles in Mueller Hinton medium with better performance in borosilicate glass tubes in which biomass with OD570 ranging from 1.984 ± 0.383 to 2.272 ± 0.376 was recorded. The decrease in cell index starting from 13 hours obtained from the impedance-based RTCA showed that pellicle-forming isolates had entered the growth stage of pellicle development.

Conclusion
These four pellicle-forming clinical CRAB isolates could be potentially more virulent, therefore further investigation is warranted to provide insights into their pathogenic mechanisms.

Authors: Oyegbami Adepeju , Oyewole Adeoye , Muhammed-Jamiu Fatimat 
Published: May 2023

Aim: The objective of this study is to critically review the relationship between business ethics and organizational performance.
Methods: The sources of data for this review study were secondary data which involves a profound review of the past work of authors to test the alignment of the review objectives. The paper focuses on three main theories of business ethics, Utilitarianism theory, Deontological theory and Norm theory.
The three theories were used because of the significant correlation they have to this study's objective, making it easier to understand the roles of business ethics towards the organization's performance. It reviewed elements that influence business ethics and organizational performance including integrity, good corporate governance, transparency, honesty, confidentiality, fairness, and corporate social responsibility. Business ethics has many dimensions, but the purpose of business ethics, as a discipline of study is not very much about teaching the difference between right and wrong, but to give organizations the tools for dealing with matters of moral complexity for strategic decisions that could lead to the anticipated performance.
Conclusion: Following a critical review of the subject, it was discovered that organizations that aspire to succeed cannot do without incorporating certain business ethics into their corporate governance. Therefore, setting a system of balanced ethical principles in business is the foundation for any business system to reach its optimum performance.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: Fresh and smoked fish are widely consumed in Côte d'Ivoire as everywhere in West Africa. However, these foodstuffs, due to certain processing conditions, are likely to be contaminated by molds that produce dangerous mycotoxins.
Objective: This study aimed to isolate and identify fungal strains contaminating fresh and smoked fish from the Sassandra River in Côte d'Ivoire.
Place and Date of the Study: Sampling was carried out in various processing sites around the Sassandra River, particularly in the towns of Soubré and Guessabo. The microbiological analysis was carried out at Jean Lorougnon Guédé University in Daloa (Ivory Coast).
Methods: A total of 108 samples of fresh and smoked fish were collected. Isolation and purification of fungal strains were carried out on Sabouraud medium with chloramphenicol. The identification of isolated strains was made on the basis of morphological and cultural criteria.
Results: A total of 126 fungal strains were isolated, including 87 from the Guessabo samples and 39 from the Soubré samples from 54 fresh fish and 54 smoked fish. The predominant species were Aspergillus of the Glaucus group (39%), Aspergillus niger (36%) and Penicillium sp. (25%).
Conclusion: This study shows that fresh and smoked fish from the Sassandra River in Côte d'Ivoire are contaminated by several strains of molds, some of which produce mycotoxins that can cause illness in consumers depending on their concentrations. It would therefore be appropriate to improve processing techniques.

Published: May 2023

Learning Objectives: Learn how to identify and differentiate the shark fin EKG pattern from other EKG patterns and abnormalities. Explore the potential diagnostic and prognostic implications of the shark fin EKG pattern, including its association with increased risk of arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.
Background: The Lambda-wave ECG, also known as the Shark fin or Thombostone pattern, has been linked to ST-elevation myocardial infarction's (STEMI) hazardous implications. It is characterized by merged QRS, ST, and T waves, forming a 'triangular QRS-ST-T waveform' or 'giant R waves.' This treacherous signature poses an alarming risk, with chances of cardiogenic shock and ventricular fibrillation leading to fatality. To tackle this peril, implementing swift thrombolysis or percutaneous intervention for reperfusion is critical for successful treatment. For optimal outcomes, the preferred setting to utilize ventricular assist devices is the ICU. Misdiagnosis can happen and be seen as either wide complex tachycardia or ECG changes induced by hyperkalemia. Imperative to prevent severe complications, early detection and treatment are crucial. We are reporting three cases of this Ekg pattern.

Aquaculture is an important industry for national economies, but it needs to improve its survival rates through increased technology awareness. Stunted fingerlings, obtained from aged fish, are a practical alternative for stocking in aquaculture due to their higher survival rates and disease resistance. Farmers can produce stunted fish fingerlings by rearing fish at a higher stocking density and feeding them with natural food for a prolonged period.
Farmers use a supplementary feed mixture of Soya Bean Cake, Ground Nut Oil Cake, Rice Bran, and Fish Meal to promote optimal growth. Using feed bags to reduce waste can also help ensure proper growth and reduce costs. Stunting of fish fingerlings has been shown to improve growth and survivability in grow-out ponds, resulting in higher yields. Access to quality fingerlings, market demand, and best management practices are critical for success. Stunted fingerlings could be a practical solution to address the problems of limited fingerling availability and high production costs in aquaculture. Multiple stockings and multiple harvesting are cost-effective methods to increase fish production and enhance pond productivity. Farmers need to follow best management practices and implement sustainable practices to minimize environmental and community impacts.

ImportanceActive surveillance in men with less aggressive prostate cancer is inconsistently used despite clinical guidelines. Renumeration generally favors treatment over conservative management and may contribute to the variable adoption of active surveillance, which suggests that value-based payment incentives may promote guideline-concordant care.ObjectiveTo describe the adoption of active surveillance in low-risk prostate cancer, following the initiation of a novel payment incentive sponsored by a commercial payer to support its use.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cohort study included men with prostate cancer diagnosed between 2015 to 2021 with data registered with the Michigan Urological Surgery Improvement Collaborative (MUSIC), a statewide quality-improvement collaborative of practicing urologists. Eligible participants were men with newly diagnosed low-risk or low-volume, favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer who were eligible for active surveillance. Data were analyzed from January 2015 through December 2021.ExposureHealth insurance payment incentive established between June 9, 2017, and September 30, 2018, to encourage active surveillance adoption within MUSIC. Upon meeting the target (ie, at least 72% of men with low-risk disease consider or initiate surveillance), the insurer would provide enhanced reimbursement on claims covered by preferred provider organization plans independent of diagnosis.Main Outcomes and MeasuresActive surveillance adoption relative to the preincentive period among men with low-risk prostate cancer. Secondary analyses examined practices by baseline surveillance use and proportion of patients with eligible insurance plans, as well as patients with favorable intermediate-risk disease.ResultsWe identified 15 273 patients (median [IQR] age, 65 [59-70] years), of whom 10 457 (68.5%) had low-risk disease. The percentage of these men electing for surveillance increased, from 54.4% in 2015 (729 of 1340 men) to 84.1% in 2021 (1089 of 1295 men). Relative to the preincentive period, the payment incentive was not associated with increased surveillance use among patients with low-risk disease (odds ratio [OR], 0.96; 95% CI, 0.75-1.24) during its application. Secondary analyses similarly did not demonstrate an association between the payment incentive and active surveillance adoption.Conclusions and RelevanceA payment incentive was not associated with increased active surveillance adoption in men with low-risk prostate cancer relative to the preincentive period. Value-based reimbursement incentives may require tailored implementation that considers existing reimbursement policy and practice characteristics to improve prostate cancer care quality.
