Abstract

The study of legal sociology is a study that has legal phenomena, but uses social science and sociologytheory. The role of Legal sociology is so tight when juxtaposed with a problem that is emerging, namelythe global pandemic Coronavirus Disease (Covid)-19. The juridical normative research with a method ofapproach to the law, conceptual and comparative. Legal materials that have been collected are analyzed bycontent analysis. Some affected countries that successfully handled the COVID-19 pandemic, including:South Korea, New Zealand, Singapore. Italy and United States containment strategy for handling Covid-19are contradictory from those countries above. PSBB has been applied in Indonesia and other countries. ThePSBB must be accompanied by other programs so that the government can successfully handle COVID-19..PSBB does not guarantee that the community will obey the regulation. The most effective action with allthe consequences is regional quarantine or lockdown accompanied by other supporting programs from thegovernment.

Abstract

Work is an application of the human beings’ responsibility in existing. The type of work may be chosenfreely whether it is within the country or abroad. This is a normative law research which is supported byempirical study. The normative law study is used to analyze the constitutional regulations regarding thehealth rights of the Indonesian migrant workers. Meanwhile, the empiric law study is used to analyze theimplementation of the regulations. The health right implementation of the Indonesian migrant workers inMalaysia is applies through health insurances based on the sosco regulations. The payment of the healthrights for the Indonesian migrant workers is the responsibility of the employer. The research results showthat in the aspect of health, the work agreements do not go according to the contract. The health securityof the Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia is still not effective as it only covers accidents within theworking hours.

Abstract

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the main causes of limited activity in children. The prevalenceof CP ranges from 2.6 to 2.9 per 1000 live births. Most of children with CP have at least one comorbid,including epilepsy. Epilepsy in CP is difficult to control, and can increase the severity of motor impairmentand cognitive function, therefore the prognosis is poor. The incidence of epilepsy in CP is associated witha specific clinical profile. This study aimed to analyze the comparison of clinical characteristics of cerebralpalsy in children with and without epilepsy.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using medical record of children with cerebral palsy inpediatric neurology outpatient clinic in Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya in March - May 2020. Childrenwith CP who met the inclusion criteria were included in this study. The variables studied included sex,perinatal history (preterm birth, low birth weight, and neonatal asphyxia), neonatal seizures, spastic type,level of GMFCS, head circumference, neuroimaging features, hearing loss, and eye abnormalities. Thestudy subjects were divided into two groups. Group 1 consisted of children with CP and epilepsy. Group 2consisted of children with CP without epilepsy. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square test andfisher’s exact test using SPSS.Result: Significant comparison of the characteristics were found in the history of neonatal seizures andthe level of GMFCS. The percentage of neonatal seizures was higher in group 1 at 61.3% (p=0.049). Thedegree of GMFCS in group 1 was dominated by GMFCS III while in group 2 it was dominated by GMFCSIV (p=0.047). Subjects with GMFCS I and II levels were only found in group 2, while in group 1 withhigher level of GMFCS, they were GMFCS III, IV, and V. More abnormal neuroimaging was found ingroup 1, namely 64.3%, while in group 2 it was 57.1%. There was no statistically significant difference ofneuroimaging characteristics between the two groups (p= 0.911).Conclusion: There were differences in clinical characteristics associated with neonatal seizures and GMFCSbetween CP with and without epilepsy.

Abstract

Sclerostin, encoded by the SOST gene, It has also been shown that sclerostin is expressed in aortic VSMC(vascular smooth muscle) and upregulation of SOST gene has inhibitory effects on the aortic aneurysmand atherosclerosis development. Aims: The current study aims to explore potential the associationbetween SOST gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs865429 C/T) and coronary artery diseases (CHD)in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, in addition to the effect of this SNP on the level of serumsclerostin and other glycemic parameters. Material and methods: From the Iraqi population, we enrolled300 T2DM patients (150 T2DM with CHD and 150 T2DM without CHD). Serum blood glucose, seruminsulin, HbA1C, and sclerostin were estimated. Genotyping for rs865429 C/T in SOST gene was achievedby RFLP (polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism). Results: T2DM patientshaving CT + TT genotype included in the studied were at increased risk for CHD in T2DM (odd ratio:0.4444 CI: 0.2800 to 0.7054) and related to a high serum sclerostin level in comparison with type 2 diabeticpatients with CC genotype. Conclusions: Type 2 diabetic patients with T allele who have elevated plasmaconcentrations of sclerostin are at high risk for coronary artery diseases.

Abstract

Diarrheal diseases in children are a major public health concern in developing countries. especially speciesof Candida, responsible for causing candidiasis infection(diarrehea), require fast and accurate identification,The correct identification of Candida species is of great importance, as it presents prognostic and therapeuticalsignificance, allowing an early and appropriate antifungical therapy. This study was conducted to investigatethe incidence of Candida albicans associated with diarrhea in childrenThis study was included isolates of Candida spp. from stool of 100 patients samples with diarrhea and100 without diarrhea evaluated in AL-Batool Teaching Hospital by phenotypic methods , antifungalsusceptibility of C. albicans and determination of the C.albicans genotypes by Nested PCR, discriminatingC. albicans from the other Candida species. The tests used for phenotypic analysis were culture in SDA andCHROMAgar™ Candida, Phenotypic tests showed green colonies in chromogenic medium, The antifungalsusceptibility results of 43 C.albicans isolates present that all of Candida isolates tested were susceptibleto Amphotericin B and fluconazole (100%), while no resistance was observed in C.albicans toCaspofunginand Micafungin.Finally, only one isolate was resistant to flucytosine . Genomic DNAs of all C. albicans isolates wereamplified by PCR to detect their genotypes using. polymerase chian reaction amplification shows fourgenotypes(A,B,Cand D).A-genotype showed 4 subtypes and most common subgenotypes(1,3,4 and 5).

Abstract

Abstract: Anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) they are the synthetic type of the natural male sex hormone(testosterone), they are widespread used amongst athletes to enhance performance. Abuse of AAS is commonamongst players and it is usually accompanied by a many medically based complications. It was reportedthat hepatic problems include cholestasis, elevation of liver enzymes e.g. aminotransferases, as well as,benign hepatic adenomas, jaundice and to less extent of hepatocellular carcinoma was associated with theiruse.A total of (12) adult New Zealand rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) male, aged one year was selected. 2control animals and 10 were treated with injections intramuscularly of the AAS, nandrolone decanoate(15 mg/kg) three times a week for 12 weeks. At the end of experiment the animals were sacrificed and theliver was dissected out and fixed using 10% buffered formalin-saline to prepare blocks for staining withhaematoxylin and eosin for histological examination using the light microscope.The liver of treated animals reveals that there are a mild to severe vascular congestion. There is swelling ofhepatocytes, and inflammatory cell infiltration. Perivascular fibrosis, cellular necrosis was observed in otherslides with sinusoidal congestions and extrabiliary bile pigments deposits.The benefit of AAS comes with unwanted side effects. The total volume of the hepatocytes and sinusoidswere increased in the studied animals. The total number of hepatocytes nuclei in experimental group alsoincreased. The damage of the liver cells or at least increased permeability of the hepatocellular membranewhich is noticed in the present work could explain the increment of plasma levels of liver enzymeswhich was studied by other researchers, as they notice an elevation liver enzymes activity such as alanineaminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (AP), gamma glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT), and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)..Patients and physicians must kept in mind that the sequelae of AAS abuse are life threatening. So peopleshould be aware about the complications of AAS use and a periodic examination of liver function and checkout should be done to those treated groups.
