Abstract

Background: the prevalence of pregnancy anxiety varies in the different trimesters of pregnancy with highlevels in the first and third trimesters. Anxiety in pregnancy is a strong predictor of poor birth processes andinfant outcomes.Methods: This study uses quantitative research with quasi experimental / quasi experimental approachesand one group design pre and post test design with group control. This research will use the HamiltonAnxiety Rating Scale (HARS) method.Results: There is a significant difference (p = 0.004 <?) the average level of anxiety in the control groupbefore (16.5 ± 0.80) and after observation (18.17 ± 1.03) this means that Yoga exercises can reduce anxietylevels in third trimester pregnant women. In the control group (n = 12) there was no negative rank anxietylevel which meant that there was no person with an anxiety level before greater than after. Furthermore, apositive rank indicates 10 which means there are 10 pregnant women with anxiety levels after being higherthan before or in other words there are 10 pregnant women who have increased anxiety in the third trimester.Conclusion: There is a significant difference (p = 0.004 <?) the average level of anxiety in the control groupbefore (16.5 ± 0.80) and after observation (18.17 ± 1.03), so it can be concluded that prenatal yoga reducesanxiety levels before and after treatment.

Abstract

Introduction: Proteus mirabilis expresses several virulence factor which enable them to colonize, surviveand grow in the host organism. This study was to investigate whether P. mirabilis could deliver a spontaneousplasmids to competent strains, and to investigate whether P. mirabilis can be as a donor strains to deliverytheir virulent such as adhesion and swarming activity.Methodology: PCR was used to detect the motility genes that encoded in P. mirabilis. Using alsotransformation assay to transfer these genes of Proteus to standard strain. PCR technique used again todetermine the whether genes were transfer or not after transformation.The results: the findings show that 9 (filD, flhC, flhD, motA, motB, fliL, flaA, flgM,) genes were encodedon chromosomal DNA of P. mirabilis. Interestingly data, only 3 (flaA, flgM and filD ) genes were carriedon different plasmids of P. mirabilis. The results also show that spontaneous plasmids of P. mirabilis cantransfer to standard strains of E. coli. We found one gene transfer to E. coli S17? filD. The gene(filD) has arole in the P. mirabilis swarming motility.Conclusions: we demonstrated that these genes can carry not only on chromosomal DNA but also inPlasmidal DNA and transferring genes associated-characteristics, swarming motility

Abstract

Background and objectives: Whether to use a cold scalpel or laser surgery to remove a lesion in the skinof the craniofacial area is the main question the surgeon asks him- or herself to do. The study tried to extendthe literature with data that may help the surgeons to choose the right method.Methods: Thirty patients with intra- and extraoral craniofacial skin lesions managed by Carbone dioxide(CO2) laser surgery.Results: The most common type of lesion treated was melanocytic nevi (15 patients; 50%).Conclusion: The main complication of CO2 laser surgery is the remaining permanent hypopigmentation ofthe treated area; however, the CO2 laser has many advantages (especially at the time of surgery) making ita good choice for the management of these lesions.

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the causes in the case of Foodborne Disease, with the resulting toxintriggering the occurrence of Foodborne Intoxication. The purpose of this study was to identify multidrugresistant patterns and detect Methicillin Resistance Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in cow’s milk in EastJava, Indonesia. A total of 170 cow’s milk samples were taken from dairy farms on 3 Districs, then thebacteria were cultured and purified using Mannitol Salt Agar media. Resistance tests were carried out with5 antibiotics on Mueller Hinton Agar media and Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) byOxacillin Resistance Screen Agar Base (ORSAB). The results showed there were 76 (44.7%) S. aureus, thenantibiotic testing showed 13 (17.1%) S. aureus isolates had multidrug resistant (MDR) properties on theantibiotics tested and 84.6% isolates with MDR confirmed MRSA properties by ORSAB. It was concludedthat the raw milk can be a potential reservoir for MDR and MRSA strains to threat public health.

Abstract

A study was conducted to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of factors associated withinitiation and cessation of tobacco among patients using tobacco products. A KAP study was conductedamong patients using tobacco products of various age groups attending the outpatient department in a dentalcollege in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. A self-constructed questionnaire by our team was framed and distributedto 100 subjects. The data collected was then analysed with SPSS software (version 21) statistically to obtainthe results.In this study, predominantly 69% of the subjects started the habit of using tobacco products in the agegroup of 15-25 years. Most commonly used tobacco product was cigarette (56%) and the frequency oftobacco usage was 5-10 times per day (50%). About 68% of the questioned subjects are aware of passivesmoking and 94% are aware of the consequences of using tobacco products. High prevalence of tobaccousage was observed among younger age group. This calls for the need that educational institutions mandatethe inclusion of awareness of health hazards of cigarette smoking in their curriculums. This is a much neededintervention to extricate them from this habit.

Abstract

Family Planning Program is one of the policies in Indonesia related to the issue of population and familydevelopment that has been widely considered as successful. However, some obstacles emerged duringthe process of policy implementation, one of which was related to religious believes on family planning.An Islamic group called the Salafi Movement, for example, believes in pro-natalism and forbids the useof contraception. One of the sub-districts in the City of Semarang, called Banyumanik, has experienceda significant growth in the number of this group’s members. Using a qualitative approach with in-depthinterviews to collect data. Most members of this group have more than two children. Interestingly, manyof them hope to have many more children in the future. Most informants considered the Family Planningprogram is limited to control or restrict births using particular contraceptives. The value of the FamilyPlanning program challenged by the Salafi movement is related to the issue of limiting the number ofchildren. The government should extend the scope of the campaign, especially dialogues with them.

Abstract

Blood samples from 108 obese individuals (73 males and 35 females) and 106 healthy ones (79 males and27 females) were collected from a cohort of Saudis inhabiting Riyadh province. ATP6 mitochondrial genewas amplified and sequenced to identify obesity-related SNPs and the mitochondrial DNA haplogroups forforensic purposes. A novel site (A8660G) was found while C8655T and T9103C were obesity- related sites.The haplogroups H2a and H1a were common as they were found in 70.4% and 66% of obese and non-obeseindividuals, respectively. L2 was recorded in the obese samples only and H21 was recorded in the obesemales only. The J2a haplohroup was more common in obese individuals. Constructing mtDNA database forpeople inhabiting different regions of Saudi Arabia for forensic purpose and to affirm the utility of H21 andL2 in identifiying obesity is necessary.
