Abstract

Objective: In this study we tried to understand the effect of progesterone level at the time of ovulationtrigger on intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcome. We expected identifying cut off values forserum progesterone level the day of hCG injection (P-hCG) & P-hCG per mature oocyte ratio (P-hCG /MII), as predictive tests of ICSI success. Methods: 200 women 18-40 years old and attending IVF unitof Kasr el Aini hospital for management of infertility were included in the study. They were scheduled forICSI after controlled ovarian induction with GnRH- agonist protocol. Inclusion criteria were tubal factorof infertility, unexplained infertility, polycystic ovarian syndrome and BMI ? 30 kg/m2. Exclusion criteriawere severe male factor infertility, hyperprolactinemic patients, high basal FSH > 11 IU/L, frozen embryotransfer cycles, uterine anomalies or synechia. Primary outcome parameter included correlation of serumprogesterone on day HCG administration, number of MII oocytes and calculated progesterone/ MII oocyteratio with success of ICSI.Results: 193cases underwent embryo transfer, 7cases cancelled. Clinical pregnancy was reported in 52(27.9%) cases. Higher P-hCG was observed in cases who didn’t get pregnant compared to those who gotpregnant (p= 0.01) with cut off value of 1 ng/ml correlated well with the clinical pregnancy rate after ICSIwith 61% sensitivity and 59% specificity (p=0.004). A significantly lower P-hCG/MII ratio was found inthe pregnant women group compared to that found in the non-pregnant group (p=0.001) and cut off valueof 0.18 correlated best with clinical pregnancy after ICSI with sensitivity 70.5% and specificity 61.2%(p<0.001). Conclusion : We demonstrated negative correlation between P-hCG and P-hCG/MII andclinical pregnancy rate after ICSI.

Abstract

Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) are a health problem that has not been handled properly in Indonesia,every year the incidence of acute respiratory infections is still high, which can be fatal, namely death. Severalfactors cause acute respiratory infections such as nutritional status, dust exposure, length of exposure todust, and years of service for workers in industries who have a high risk of acute respiratory tract infectionproblems. This study aims to determine the risk factors for acute respiratory infections in the industry. Thisstudy uses a cross-sectional approach with a sample of 89 respondents, where the results will be analyzedusing the chi-square test. The result of this study is that there is a relationship between nutritional status,dusty workspace, length of exposure to dust, and length of work with the incidence of acute respiratoryinfections in industrial workers. Based on the results of this study, it is hoped that workers and the industrywill pay attention to the use of PPE to minimize dust exposure to workers in the industry.

Abstract

Lymphoproliferative lesions that have morphology between benign and malignant are difficult to diagnoseeven with immunohistochemical and clonality testing. The correct diagnosis is necessary for the prompttreatment. These lesions can also serve as instructive models of lymphomagenesis. FOXP1 plays an importantrole in B-cell development, has a potential oncogene in B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and p53 proteinhas a crucial role in the regulation of cell cycle, DNA repair, apoptosis, and senescence tumor suppressionactivity. In this study, we analyze the role of FOXP1 and p53 expression in reactive lymphoid hyperplasiaand B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, large cell type. 68 paraffin blocks samples from patients diagnosedas reactive lymphoid hyperplasia and B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, large cell type was sectioned andstained with immunohistochemistry for FOXP1 and p53, and the percentage of nuclear cells showingpositive staining were evaluated. Expression of FOXP1 and p53 in B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, largecell type is higher than in reactive lymphoid hyperplasia with p=0.001 and cutoff point 45%(CI=95%) forFOXP1 and p=0.001 and cutoff point 7.5%(CI=95%) for p53. There is a significant correlation between theexpression of FOXP1 and p53 in reactive lymphoid hyperplasia and B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, largecell type (p=0.001). Our findings suggest that high expression of FOXP1 and p53 in B-cell Non-Hodgkinlymphoma may demonstrate the role of FOXP1 and p53 in lymphomagenesis and these markers may helpto distinguish benign and malignant lymphoproliferative lesions.

Abstract

Background: Several studies demonstrated that stress can cause an obvious change in the hematologicalparameters in healthy individuals. In the current study, we determined whether the stress during the examscan produce some hematological changes and how long this effect may take after the end of the exam period.Methods: Seventy (n= 70) male and sixty (n=60) female student of similar height, weight and age wereselected from the department of medical laboratory sciences, Al-Ahliyya Amman university. All studentswere first had a preliminary medical checkup. Students excluded from the study include those who had achronic disease and any health issues or habits affecting the studied parameters, such as smoking; feverand high blood pressure. All study participants were between the age group of 20-22 years. Blood sampleswere taken three weeks before the exam, during and 72 hours after the end of the exam period. Estimationsof red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), meancorpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), neutrophils,lymphocytes and platelets were accomplished.Results: Compared with pre-examination results the blood samples taken during exams showed a significantdecrease in the readings of lymphocytes (p <0.01) , MCV and MCH (p < 0.05). Significant increase inNeutrophil (p < 0.05) and platelets (p< 0.05). Readings taken after 72 hours of the end of exam periodshowed significant decrease in white blood cell count (p < 0.01) and further significant increase in theplatelet count (p <0.001). No significant changes were observed in the readings of Hemoglobin, Red BloodCell count (RBC), hematocrit and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (p >0.2).Conclusion: This study concluded that the stress due to examinations is enough to alter certain hematologicalparameters. The effect of stress on platelets and WBC remained until the end of the exam period. As theincreased platelet count may cause health problems for a person, from bleeding problems to the formationof various clots. We do not know for sure how long the increase in platelet and decrease in white blood cellscontinue as this may cause health problems for people subject to permanent stress.

Abstract

Background: Studies placed a great emphasis on implementing in-service educational intervention fornurses in order to improve their knowledge regarding critical nursing procedures. Therefore, critical-carenurses need to be more knowledgeable and competent in providing patient care. Hence, the researcher(nurse educator) developed structured educational program that mainly focused on endotracheal suctioningbased on evidence-based recommended practice guidelines. Endotracheal suctioning is vitally importantnursing procedure in terms of maintaining airway patency and preventing complications. Objectives:to evaluate the effectiveness of endotracheal suctioning educational program on critical-care nurses’knowledge. Methodology: a quantitative, quasi-experimental one group pre-test and post-test design wasused. Convenience sample of 87 critical-care nurses are recruited from three hospitals at AL-Najaf ALAshraf City. The study conducted over the period of time that started on December 10, 2019 and ended onJanuary 22, 2020. Results: most of the participants had inadequate to moderate knowledge at pre-test. Whileafter implementing the educational intervention, the participants gained more knowledge and statisticalfindings indicated that all nurses have adequate knowledge regarding endotracheal suctioning. Conclusion:Endotracheal suctioning is a widely performed technique for mechanically ventilated patients in critical careunits. Nurses must be competent and well educated to perform this procedure in order to prevent patientpotential complications and achieve best outcomes. Educational intervention that led by nurse educator hasa positive influence on nurses’ knowledge. Recommendations: the researchers are highly recommendedimplementing ongoing educational program by using recent clinically recommended evidence that focuseson areas where knowledge expansion can be achieved to staff nurse. In Iraq, creating postgraduate degreefocusing on nursing education is a cornerstone to engage in the health care team and articulate new scientificapproach by using researches in the clinical setting and apply research findings in clinical practice.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of dental caries in childhood is one of the problems related to children’s oralhealth. The aim of this study was to determine the risk of caries in children aged 6-12 years based on parentalinformation and its relationship with BMI and DMFT in Ahvaz.Methods and materials: The necessary permits were obtained from the Ahvaz Education Department, andthen 300 samples of the city’s primary schools were selected. Students were examined with a disposabledental mirror and the number of decayed, missed, and restored permanent and deciduous teeth was recordedin the DMFT table. After that, the questionnaire was completed with the help of parents. The validity of thisquestionnaire was confirmed by 5 pediatric dentists and the reliability of this questionnaire was confirmedby conducting a pilot study on 10 children based on Cornbach coefficient of 0.85.Results: Maternal occupation was associated with moderate caries risk (p = 0.007). Economic situation wasassociated with low risk (p = 0.0001). The mean weight of the child in the high risk group was significantlyhigher than the low risk groups (p <0.001) and medium risk (p <0.001). The mean DMFT in the low riskgroup was significantly lower than the medium risk (p <0.001) and high risk groups (p <0.001). The meanBMI in the high risk group was significantly higher than the medium risk groups (p <0.001) and low risk (p<0.001).Conclusion: Economic status, mother’s job and child’s weight are associated with caries risk. Also, DMFTand BMI index have a direct and significant relationship with the risk of caries.

Abstract

Maintaining a clean perianal area is an attempt to prevent and treat diaper dermatitis. The purpose of cleaningthe perianal area is to prevent irritation. The practice of cleaning the perianal area is done by consideringthe physiology of the skin such as, normal flora, bacteria, and skin pH. Cleaning the perianal area can usewater and a soft cloth without rubbing the skin hard. The purpose of applying evidence based in nursingpractice is to identify the effect of perianal care by using water against diaper dermatitis with skin integrityissues. Search evidence of nursing practice used the PICO analysis. Thirty-four toddlers were divided intotwo groups: the intervention group (n = 17) and the control group (n = 17). The analysis used was Wilcoxon,and Mann-Whitney test. There was no significant difference in diaper dermatitis score in the interventiongroup and control group (?> 0.05). Cleaning the perianal area using water and tissues can be used to preventand treat diaper dermatitis.
