This exploration examines the job of accounting information systems in helping associations settle on savvy decisions. This study depends vigorously on essential information gathered by means of overviews. The information was investigated using relapse and Karl Pearson's connection. The findings uncover that the bank's internal examiners were not given an adequate number of reports brilliantly. In any case, associations are exhorted Invest in information innovation devices to increase their productivity, adequacy, and generally speaking performance.
The review closed as follows: An association's accounting information has been demonstrated to be its most significant resource (monetary venture). Accounting information has shown its viability as a management decision-making apparatus. Organizations were likewise worried about projects that are intended to help the general economy.
The concentrate likewise prescribes that Managers ought to have the option to utilize the accounting or report information they are given to make examinations of choices, To maintain adequate execution, right division of obligations, and follow-up processes, both management and administrative officials should be involved in the oversight interaction.
The bank should ensure that all review reports are shipped off their clients sooner rather than later to ensure that consideration is paid to and right records are maintained.
The assets ought to be designated to endeavor to evaluate the effect of the accounting principles currently in use on administrative decision making. Management ought to occasionally offer in-support training for bookkeepers to work on their activities, since these projects give important management accounting information.

Aims: Industrial processed food, pharmaceutical and cosmetical products contain numerous substances the safety of which has been widely concerned. Potassium sorbate (PS) is a common preservative used in a wide-range of products. Sunset yellow (SY) is one of the most commonly used dye in food and pharmaceutical industry. Several studies suggested cytotoxic and genotoxic potential of SY and PS in different cell lines. These effects can lead to organ damage and cancer development. The aim of this study is to investigate cytotoxic and genotoxic potential of two widely used food additives, SY and PS, in Jurkat cell line.
Methodology: PrestoBlue assay was used to assess the cytotoxic potential of SY and PS. For observation of DNA damage, cytostatic and cytotoxic effects, the cytokinesis-block micronucleus cytome (CBMN) assay was performed.
Results: Decrease of cell viability in Jurkat cell line was observed after 24-hour exposure to both SY and PS. CBMN assay has revealed significant increase of necrotic cells (P<0.05). Genotoxic biomarkers were in physiological range after 24-hour exposure to both analyzed additives.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that SY, as well as PS have cytotoxic potential in Jurkat cell line, as a result of increased number of necrotic cells. Higher cytotoxic effect was caused by SY compared to PS. However, genotoxic potential was not recorded for any of the food additives analyzed.

Authors: Zain Al-Sakkaf Khalid Abdullah , Basaleem Huda , Bawazir Amen 
Published: March 2022

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) considered the COVID-19 vaccine as a new critical tool against SARS-CoV-2 which has successfully reduced the global burden of illness and death. This study aims to assess the acceptability of the COVID-19 vaccine among students in Medical Specialties at the University of Aden, Yemen, and the factors affecting their intention to accept the vaccine.
Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used to target medically related students in the University of Aden with a proportional sample stratified by specialty and educational level during the first semester of 2021-2022. A self-reported questionnaire consisted of five primary sections: sociodemographic characteristics, information on beliefs and attitudes about COVID-19, the attitudes and beliefs about a COVID-19 vaccination, level of willingness and support for COVID-19 vaccine, and finally about the sources of knowledge about the COVID-19 vaccine was used.
Results: The total number of students enrolled in this study was 422 from the different medical specialties at the University of Aden. The knowledge level was low among the participants (55.2%). However, the rest of the findings related to other domains were found to be poor and showed higher barriers to reduce the level of infection (70.9%), acceptability of the COVID-19 vaccine (47.4%), low level of attitude toward the COVID-19 vaccine (48.3%), and high negative perception on the vaccine (67.8%), respectively. Findings showed a significant statistical difference in gender between males and females (p=0.003), age group as younger compared to older age (p=0.048), and the area of residency by governorates (p=0.044).
Conclusion: Overall, medical students in the University of Aden demonstrated low knowledge, high false perceptions, and barriers to the COVID-19 vaccine. Male students showed a likely higher level of vaccine uptake willingness and demonstrated a more positive attitude to accept the vaccine than females. This strengthens the need to take measures and address the rumors and conspiracy theories to avoid distrust in the efficacy and safety of the vaccine.

Published: March 2022

Background: The emergence and spread of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii are critical in hospitals, particularly in intensive care units (ICUs), which represents a public health concern worldwide. In this study, we investigated the molecular epidemiology of multi-drug resistant A. baumannii (MDR-AB) in Dakar, Senegal.
Methods. The A. baumannii was isolated from Eosin Methylene Blue Agar culture and identified using API 20NE strip test and MALDI-TOF. The antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the disk diffusion method. Simplex and multiplex-polymerase chain reactions with appropriate primers were used to detect and sequence the following β-lactamase genes: Two class D carbapenem hydrolyzing oxacillinases (blaOXA-51 and blaOXA-23), three class B metallo-β-lactamase genes (blaIMP, blaVIM and blaNDM), and five class A β-lactamase genes (blaPER, blaSHV, blaVEB, blaTEM, and blaGES).
Results: A total of 29 strains of MDR-AB were isolated from patients hospitalized at Aristide Le Dantec University teaching hospital in Dakar, Senegal. Among the 29 MDR-AB strains isolated, 11 (37.9%) were isolated from ICUs, 5 (17.2%) from pediatric surgery, and 13 (44.8%) from other departments. The MDR strains were isolated from urine and pus samples with 12 (41.4%) and 9 (31.0%), respectively. All isolates were positive for the A. baumannii specific gene blaOXA-51. The blaOXA-51 and blaOXA-23 genes coexisted in 26 (89.65%) of the strains. The blaIMP and blaVIM genes were not detected among the selected strains. Moreover1 (3.4%) strain elicited the gene coding for metallo-β-lactamase NDM-1. 2 (6.9%) isolates turned out to produce the penicillinase TEM-2.
Conclusions: Carbapenem resistance in Senegalese strains of A. baumannii is predominantly due to the worldwide disseminated gene blaOXA-23, with a subset of strains due to NDM-1 and TEM-2. Systemic molecular surveillance network should be established for further efficient monitoring of MDR strains in Senegal.

Published: March 2022

Introduction: Bone marrow cultures (BMCs) are usually obtained in the diagnosis of pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO). In the effort to identify the cause of systemic infection, BMCs are often performed in addition with blood cultures (BCs) and cultures of other body fluids and tissues. The practice of performing BMC and Blood cultures is long-standing, but the medical importance is questionable. Given the importance of cost effectiveness, such practices must be assessed on the basis of their cost-benefit to patient outcomes. In this study we compared the value of BMC with BC and studied the usefulness of the histopathological features of bone marrow trephine biopsy specimens in detecting the cause of systemic infections in selected patient population with PUO.
Objective: To determine the usefulness of bone marrow culture for the diagnosis of different causes of pyrexia of unknown origin.
Study Design: Descriptive Cross-sectional study
Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at Peoples University of Medical and Health Sciences for Women Nawabshah Pakistan from June January 2020 to January 2021.
Materials and Methods: A total 150 patients were included in this study who fulfilled the criteria of pyrexia of unknown origin. The bone marrow aspiration, biopsy, and blood cultures specimens were obtained using standard techniques and bone marrow culture send for microbial analysis.
Results: 1.5% of patients had hematomas, one diagnosed with Behcet disease, other patients with acute leukemia. The bone marrow aspiration results exhibited that 23 patients (15.3%) diagnose with a hemophagocytic syndrome where 3 cases of infection, 3 cases with hematological malignant disorder, and 7 cases with hemophagocytosis, and repercussion of bone marrow aspiration diagnosed 5 acute leukemia and 2 with visceral leishmaniasis. The usefulness of BMB was determined through an odd ratio of few parameters including thrombocytopenia with odd ratio 4.59 and 95% CI (1.07-8.4), anemia odd ratio 3.17, and CI (1.09-12.92) were considered most associated factors for the usefulness of BMB. BMC in 13 (8.66%) patients out of 150 were found with bacterial growth and 2 (1.33%) cases with bacterial growth were observed in blood culture. There was no fungal and mycobacterial growth observed. In the BMC analysis 2 cases of E. coli, 3 cases with Staphylococcus aureus, 2 cases of Enterococcus sps. while 4 cases of Salmonella typhi and 2 cases of Salmonella paratyphi-A were diagnosed in blood culture analysis.
Conclusion: The obtained data indicate that blood culture did not divulge bacterial growth without the bone marrow culture. Therefore bone marrow culture was found to be an important diagnostic modality and correlation was found for thrombocytopenia and anemia. Bone marrow biopsy is deemed a useful method to diagnose pyrexia of unknown origin.

Published: March 2022

Leptin act as a regulator of cellular energy metabolism but its role in lipid metabolism in humans is still unclear. Relation between leptin and plasma lipids in Saudi females was evaluated in this study. 126 females with age ranging from 18 to 75 years were recruited and grouped into premenopausal and postmenopausal females and then in lean, normal weight, overweight, and obese on the basis of their BMI values. The serum samples were assessed for Leptin, Cholesterol, triglycerides, High-density lipoproteins (HDL-C), Low-density lipoproteins (LDL-C), insulin and glucose. Significant increase in glucose, triglycerides and leptin was associated with increase weight. Insulin level was found to be significantly highest in overweight group. Cholesterol, LDL-C was found to increase with increase weight while HDL-C was decreased with increased weight. Leptin, triglycerides and glucose were significantly higher (P<0.05) in the postmenopausal females as compared to the premenopausal group. Remarkable increase of cholesterol and glucose was found in postmenopausal female while HDL-C, LDL-C and insulin were slightly decreased in postmenopausal females. High serum leptin levels can act as the risk factor for diabetes in obese and postmenopausal female. Regular monitoring of total leptin at pre-menopause stage could help in managing some life-threatening condition related to obesity in old age.

Published: March 2022

Background: An orthodontic treatment focuses on improving an individual's facial esthetics and functional occlusion via improved chewing patterns, muscular power, increased force, and occlusal contact area through a more efficient masticatory function. Every decision made during orthodontics treatment will be influenced by the patient’s growth pattern and /or muscle strength.
Objectives: To evaluate the gonial Angle in vertical, horizontal and average grower, to evaluate the hand grip strength in vertical, horizontal and average grower and to correlate between gonial angle with hand grip strength in vertical, horizontal and average growth pattern.
Methodology: We will study a patient group undergoing orthodontics treatment with vertical, horizontal, and average growth patterns in the Orthodontics Department at Sharad Pawar Dental College and Hospital in Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha District. The calculated sample size of the study will be 196, under criteria 49 for vertical, 49 for horizontal, and 98 for the average growth pattern. Both male and female norms for the value are to be evaluated based on the value.
Expected Results: Hand grip strength is to be compared between average, horizontal and vertical growers. Hand grip strength would be inferior in the large gonial angle group compared to the small gonial angle group. Gonial angle is the most conspicuous determining factor of Hand grip strength. Assessment of growth pattern has a vital role in diagnosis and treatment planning.
Conclusion: In the present study it will be an attempt to analyze effectiveness of gonial angle in vertical, horizontal and average growth pattern patients compared with hand grip strength. Subject with large and small gonial angle groups using cephalometric radiograph shall be assessed with hand grip strength. A major finding of this study is that gonial angle is one of the key factors for the strength of Hand grips.

Published: March 2022

Leprosy is a chronic granulamatous dreadful disease affecting the body causing severe disfigurement and loss of function. The patients infected with this disease are ostracised in the society and their oral health status is often neglected. The study was conducted on 30 patients treated in St. John leprosy colony, Chengalpet. Of these 30% were female patients and 70% were male patients. Age ranges between 40 and 70 with the mean age being 52. Subjects diagnosed as leprotic (tuberculoid, borderline, and lepromatous) and under multidrug resistance therapy were included in the study. Dental caries was diagnosed using mouth mirror and explorer. The data was analysed and has been charged. The cumulative DMFT score for the surveyed population was 197. Out of 197 carious teeth 73 belonged to class I, 21 belonged to class II and class III, 22 belonged to class IV, 43 belonged to class V, 17 belonged to class VI. The caries status in patients with leprosy is active and significant. Hence rigorous awareness and treatment measures should be undertaken to address this.
