Abstract

BPA as a xenoestrogen negatively influences male reproductive functions as well as sperm quality. This study aimed at evaluating the correlation between urinary BPA concentrations and male fertility by assessing semen parameters as well as hormone profile. It included (150) males divided into two groups; infertile cases (n= 100) and fertile controls (n= 50). Results showed highly significant difference in mean urinary BPA concentrations between both groups being higher among infertile group (P-value < 0.001). Besides that, there was statistically significant correlation between the mean urinary BPA concentrations and deterioration of sperm concentration and motility among cases with P-values (< 0.001). Finally, there was statistically significant correlation between mean urinary BPA and hormone levels FSH, LH, T and E2 levels with P-values 0.002, 0.033, 0.001 and < 0.001 respectively.

Abstract

The Autopsy is beneficial in determining, the cause of death, time since death, validity of therapeutic modalities, potential medico-legal issues surrounding death and providing data on disease & injury. This cross-sectional study was carried out on a general population of Ahmedabad City with the help of questionnaires specially prepared in vernacular language i.e. Gujarati. We observed that overall awareness is quite good regarding the aims and objectives of postmortem examination in the general population. But general populations have poor knowledge about legal procedure regarding post mortem examination. Among the respondents who rejected autopsy, most of them feared of disfigurement of the body of their near ones, followed by delays in funeral, the involvement of police/court & fear of removal of the organs. Refusal on the religious ground was the least common reason cited by the participants. People have to be made aware of the process and importance of a medico-legal autopsy by various programs & seminars so that the relatives won’t resist autopsy of their near ones.

Abstract

Background: C-Reactive Protein is a marker of inflammation and vascular disease. The high serum of high sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) concentration was associated with interruption the integrity of the frontal-subcortical circuit. Objective: To determine the correlation between high serum concentration of hs-CRP and executive function disorder in elderly patients. Method: Thirty six elderly patients was examined by using a case control study. The subjects were enrolled from the out-patient at Neurology Departement Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. The time period was 4 months (April to July 2015). Executive function was measured with the Trail Making Test B (TMT B) and divided into two groups, case and control. Complete blood count and serum hs-CRP concentration were measured from nonfasting blood samples. Chi-square test was used for data analysis. Results: Eighteen subjects were enrolled in the case group (3 men, 15 women) and the other 18 subjects were enrolled in the control group (4 men, 14 women). Executive function disorder was found in 17 (94,4%) subjects of case group and 11 (61,1%) subjects of control group. High levels of hs-CRP was not associated with executive function, with p = 0,149 and adjusted OR 5,629 (CI 95% 0,538-58,860). Conclusion: These data suggested that high levels of hs-CRP was not associated with executive function in elderly patients.

Abstract

This community legal observance in the field of Islamic marriage is based on the concept of good deeds which can be said to be deontologically valid. The approach is based on deon/obligations arising from the principles of Islamic life. This research method is an empirical method that looks at social reality and is carried out with an ethical approach to understanding the meaning of deeds in the marriage process. Philosophical analysis is used to analyze values in the conduct of the marriage process of Islamic societies in Indonesia. The results showed that in Indonesian Islamic society, marriage and marriage registration had become a community culture that had a philosophical value of worship. This happens because there is enculturation in the form of symbols of Islamic teachings that make it easier for people to recognize the value of an action. Proposal and registration of marriage has become the culture of the Islamic community with the symbol of halal and worship in marriage. Thus the community’s obedience to Islamic law and state law is not coercion carried out by state power, but is the legal culture of Islamic society.

Abstract

Moringa oleifera is a plant that can be used and grown intensively in several Southeast Asian countries. This study aims to determine the effect of Moringa oleifera seed oil extract on the levels of the insulin and blood glucose levels of Rattus norvegicus induced by alloxan. This study used 30 female Wistar white rats induced by alloxan. Rats were divided into 6 groups. Groups 3 to 6 were injected 100, 200, 300, 400 mg/kg BW extract of Moringa oleifera seed oil, respectively. Group 1 neither had alloxan induction nor treatment while group 2 had been induced alloxan but no treatment. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that there was no effect of Moringa oleifera seed oil extract on insulin level (p value = 0.161). Conversely, there was an effect on blood glucose levels in alloxan-induced Rattus norvegicus (p value = 0.036).

Abstract

Background and Objective: Identifying age in anthropology and forensic medicine and examining the proper development of children and adolescents is important. Age estimation techniques using teeth are of particular value. This study tends to evaluate the accuracy of age estimation by Kvaal technique using CBCT images of mandibular canine teeth in a sample of Iranian population. Materials and Methods: In this crossvalidation study, data from 140 samples of records of patients aged 15 years and older, during 2018-2019, available at a private oral and maxillofacial radiology center in Bojnourd was used. The parameters used in Kvaal technique were measured in mandibular canine teeth on CBCT images of patients. Results: Using multiple linear regression model to correlate parameters of Kvaal technique based on CBCT images of mandibular canine teeth and age with stepwise method showed that variables pulp length/root length, pulp width/root width in the middle, length teeth/root length were significant in predicting age (p<0.05 in all 3 cases). According to the above method, age = 551/5-500 (M) was obtained which was able to estimate age in 35% of the samples. The mean age of the patients was estimated to be 7.9 years, which is acceptable. Conclusion: Kvaal formula was significant for use in Iranian population. The regression formula obtained from the control group could also be generalized to the test group.

Abstract

Introduction: Aerococci has colony shape with Streptococcus viridans, so that it is usually missdiagnosed between of them. It has high difficulty on its identification, because it is rarely to be found and resistant of Antibiotic grup, called penicilin and vancomycin. Material and Method: This research used two kinds of samples, such as: fried food sold on the road and toothbrush obtained from ten respondens. Then, it needs inducing its biofilm and measuring by Tissue Culture Plate (TCP) methode and ELISA. Result: ANOVA one-way revealed that extract capsaicin has anti biofilm effect on 12.5% concentration with p=0,0000 (p<0,05) among each group. Conclusion: Extract capsaicin can be used as an alternative herbal agent to treat infection caused by Aerococcus viridans because it has antibiofilm effect. As known before, biofilm causes antibiotic resistance to treat Aerococcus viridans’s infection.
