Published: June 2022

Introduction: Since December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by SARS-CoV-2, has spread locally in Wuhan, China, and later on, a worldwide outbreak occurred. Invasive fungal infections can cause complications in critically ill immunocompromised patients of COVID-19, especially those admitted to intensive care units and who required mechanical ventilation. Candida albicans have been the most common pathogenic species, followed by other Candida spp. Mannan is a major component of the Candida cell wall and can be detected by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in blood and other fluids. Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is considered a life-threatening infection, especially among immunocompromised patients. COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis has emerged as an important complication among patients in the intensive care units. Galactomannan (GM) is a major cell-wall component of Aspergillus spp. and can be found in body fluids. Blood GM can be detected by the enzyme immunoassay. The aim of the current study is to assess the frequency of aspergillosis and candidiasis among COVID-19 patients in some hospitals in Baghdad by using GM and mannan biomarkers. Methods: During the period from February 2020 to May 2021, 175 COVID-19 blood samples of patients were collected and a sandwich ELISA test was performed to detect GM Ag of Aspergillus spp. and mannan Ag of Candida spp. Results: Regarding C-reactive protein (CRP), significant differences were seen among Aspergillus/COVID-19 patients (p = 0.029). Regarding sex and age group, the results indicated that of a total of 175 adult patients with positive COVID-19, more than half of the patients were males. Regarding the distribution of mannan Ag and GM Ag in COVID-19 patients, it was seen that out of the 175 patients, 167 (95.43%) Candida mannan Ag were negative and only 8 (4.57%) were positive, and 170 (79.14%) Aspergillus GM Ag were negative and only 5 (2.86%) were positive. It was also seen that 2 patients (1.14%) who had both Candida mannan and Aspergillus GM were positive and 173 (98.6%) were negative. No statistically significant difference was seen in candidiasis and aspergillosis among patients with COVID-19 regarding age group, sex, underlying chronic diseases (hypertension and diabetes mellitus), and biochemical tests. Conclusion: COVID-19 infections increased with age and were seen more in males than in females. The percentage of infection with C. albicans and Aspergillus spp. among COVID-19 patients was not significant, and this may come from the random collection of samples from patients with different stages of illness. A significant correlation was found between Aspergillus GM Ag in COVID-19 patients and the CRP test.

TAHKİKİ VE TAKLİDİ İMAN PERSPEKTİFİNDE MÜ’MİN KİŞİLİK
Authors: YAVUZER Süleyman 
Published: June 2022

İman kavramı e-m-n kökünden gelen inanmak, güvenmek,bağlanmak, boyun eğmek, itaat ve takip etmek vb anlamlara gelen bir kelimedir. Arap dili grameri ve semantiği içerisinde farklı bağlaç/harflerle kullanılan ve birlikte kullanıldığı bağlaca/harfe göre farklı anlamlar kazanan, ayrıca çıkış noktalarına ve yaklaşım biçimlerine bağlı olarak farklılık ve çeşitlilik arz eden , anlam daralmaları ve genişlemeleri yanında özel alan kullanımları da bulunan bir kavramdır.

Tahkiki iman, vahiyle bildirilen ve Allah Resulü’nün tebliğ ettiği bütün emir/nehiyler hususunda kalbi itmi’nan sağlayan, güven telkin eden, kesin itimat veren , huzura, sükûna kavuşturacak derecede emin kılan, akıl ve nakil ekseninde kabul edilmesini temin eden bir anlam içerir. Buna mukabil taklidi iman ise, delil arama, sorgulama ve araştırma ihtiyacı hissetmeden bir başkasının telkini ve sözüyle amel etmeyi, inanıp güvenmeyi, itimat edip peşinden gitmeyi ifade eder.
Bu iki kavram, kişilerin iç dünyalarına bağlı olarak inanılan şeye bağlılığın çeşidini, derece ve şiddetini de ortaya koymaktadır. Bu bağlamda kişilerin sığ bağlarla ve üstünkörü iman etmesini ifade eden taklidi iman, kişileri etkilemede ve hayata anlam katmada daha az bir tesire sahipken, buna mukabil sorgulanmış, merak edilip araştırılmış, delil ve bilgi bağlamında oturtulmuş ve içselleştirilmiş inanç olan tahkiki iman, kişilerin hal ve hareketlerine yön vermekte, daha etkin olmakta, hayat içindeki anlam arayışlarını karşılamakta , kişiyi daha emin, mutmain ve huzurlu bir birey seviyesine çıkarabilmektedir.

Maintaining motivation plays a special role during the introduction of distance learning in connection with the coronavirus epidemic. To analyze the features of motivation in different learning conditions, a graphic model of the student motivation has been presented. The effectiveness of the model was tested in both offline and online learning. The study showed that the influence of the main motivational components in the conditions of offline learning varies from primary school to higher education. The youngest students are best motivated to learn in a situation where the inner desire to learn something new is constantly supported by external stimulation. In primary school, the motivating influence of teachers and parents gradually decreases, but both the negative and positive influence of an important environment (friends, reference adults) increases. Adolescents have clearly defined learning goals. The impact of online learning on this category of students is quite controversial. The study has found mixed trends -- both an increase in motivation for learning and a sharp decrease. The first group is quietly moving to online learning, making extensive use of the Internet. The second either completely lose motivation to learn or shows unstable motivation, which either sharply decreases, then just as sharply increases.

BACKGROUND: To identify the most significant predictors of premature rupture of membranes in full-term pregnancy with the use of RT-PCR analysis of cervical canal smear.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: On the basis of City Clinical Hospital No. 1 named after N.I. Pirogov (Samara), a cervical smear was examined by RT-PCR using a standard panel Femoflor-16. The study involved 47 pregnant women at 37-41 weeks of gestation: the control group consists of 19 pregnant women without premature rupture of the membranes (PROM), and 28 pregnant women with PROM, were included in the main group. The most significant risk factors of PROM were revealed with the use of the Classification Trees.
RESULTS: The following risk factors of PROM were identified: the number of Lactobacillus spp. less than 99.3% (sensitivity 75%, specificity 68%); total anaerobic microflora above 0.55% (sensitivity 71%, specificity 68%), Gardnerella vaginalis / Prevotella bivia / Porphyromonas spp. more than 0.08% (sensitivity 64.3%, specificity 73.7%) and Megasphaera spp. / Veilonella spp. / Dialister spp. more than 0.06% (sensitivity 66.7%, specificity 52.6%). If at least one of the above criteria was identified, the patient was attributed to the high risk group for PROM; when all four indicators of the distribution of microorganisms are taken into account, the sensitivity of the method was 85.5%, specificity was 68.4%, the predictive value of positive and negative diagnostic results (models accuracy) were 78.7%.
CONCLUSIONS: The most prognostically significant risk factors for the development of PROM in the study of the cervical microbiota are the number of Lactobacillus spp. less than 99.3%; Gardnerella vaginalis / Prevotella bivia / Porphyromonas spp. more than 0.08%; Megasphaera spp. / Veilonella spp. / Dialister spp. more than 0.06%.

Authors: Suleimanova Naida D. , Kharkhachaeva Saidat M. 
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND: At present cervical cancer (CC) is one of the most common malignancies in women. The prevention of cervical cancer is early diagnosis and timely treatment of precancerous processes, which include cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).

AIM: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of treatment of patients with CIN I with the use of domestic drug Promisan.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 58 patients with CIN I were studied. They were divided into 4 groups (group I and group II are the treatment groups, group III and group IV are control groups). Group I included 16 patients who received treatment with the drug Promisan in conservative treatment. Group II included 18 patients who received complex treatment consisting of radio-wave excision of the cervix followed by the administration of Promisan. Group III included 14 patients with expectant treatment (without Promisan) and Group IV included 10 patients who underwent radio-wave excision of the cervix with subsequent dynamic observation (without Promisan).
RESULTS: Improvement in the CIN regression indices of the 1st degree, improvement in colposcopic data and regression / elimination of the human papillomavirus were revealed in a greater percentage in patients who received Promisan as monotherapy and as part of complex therapy compared to the control groups.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of the study make it possible to recommend Promisan for the prevention of cervical cancer in patients with dysplastic processes.
