Abstract

Chronic kidney disease has an indirect effect on global disorder and death by raising the risks of morbidityand mortality . This study included (60) patient diagnosed chronic renal failure; it also included (25)healthy subjects as control . In study population age ranged from (14-65 years) old who visited Al-BasrahTeaching Hospital in Basrah throughout the period from October 2020 to February 2021. Enzyme-LinkedImmunosorbent Assay (ELISA) was used to measure human serum soluble alpha klotho proteins , irisin andcystatin C . The results showed that there is a high significant difference (P value < 0.01) in the levels betweenCKD patients and control for the following : Soluble-a-klotho protein; Irisin (ng/ml) ; Cystatin-C (ng/ml).There was also a high significant decrease in the levels of irisin (ng/ml)among different stages of chronickidney . The same table revealed a high significant increase (P value <0.01) in the levels of Cystatin-C (ng/ml) and Soluble-a-klotho protein (ng/ml) among different stages of chronic kidney and respectively) . Thestudy concluded that there is a remarkable decrease in the level of serum soluble alpha klotho proteins andirisin and increase in serum cystatin C in patients with chronic kidney disease ; and these differences arepositively correlated with the glomerular filtration rate .

Abstract

A single Memory impairment substantially reduces the quality of life in the elderly. It is associated with thealteration of neurotrophic (NT) factors, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and glutamatereceptor N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA). Exercise is often used to reduce cognitive impairment. Previousstudies show that the benefits of aerobic exercises on such impairments are correlated with increasing BDNFand preventing the production of NMDA. However, some results remain controversial. Thus, the associationbetween exercise and Memory was addressed by examining increases in BDNF and the reduction of NMDAin ageing rats. The study used a randomized, post-test-only controlled group of 30 male one-year-old ageingRattus norvegicus divided into three groups, namely, K0 (control) and K1 and K2 (aerobic swimmingexercise). K1 and K2 animals differed in the frequency of exercise, which is three and four sessions perweek, respectively. Memory was assessed using Y-maze performance. BDNF and NMDA were analyzedusing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. A significant improvement in memory function and reductionin the NMDA level were observed in K1 and K2 group rats (p = 0.001; p = 0.041). No significant impact onthe BDNF levels was observed (p = 0.387). Swimming may boost Memory by reducing the NMDA levelbut not by increasing BDNF. Swimming is a promising method for preventing or delaying memory loss indegenerative brain diseases. Further investigation is needed to fully understand underlying mechanisms.

Abstract

This paper was presented to determine the volume unit of indoor based on the human carbon footprint. Thepurpose of this approach was to formulate the ideal dimensions of an indoor, which was able to maintainhuman health. The basis for determining the dimensions was adapted to tropical conditions. For users innon-tropical areas, slight adjustments to temperature and ventilation may be required.Some examples ofindoor dimension evaluation and planning were presented in this paper. In general, it was obtained that theindoor dimension could be found using the volume unit of a healthy room of3.0 m3/person/hour. The volumeunit was linear with the number of users and time of existence in the room. This contributed significantly topeople, who can easily and quickly find out the dimensions of space according to their needs.

Abstract

Diarrhea is still a problem in East Java in Indonesia. The study aims to analyze the ecological relationshipbetween sanitation access and health behavior with diarrhea prevalence in East Java, Indonesia.The researchconducted the ecological analysis using secondary data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic ofIndonesia report in 2018. The study takes all regencies/cities in East Java Provinces as samples. Apart fromthe diarrhea prevalence in children underfive, four other variables analyzed as independent variables wereaccess and clean water sources, the percentage of coverage of access to healthy latrines, the proportionof proper handwashing behavior, and the proportion of defecating behavior in healthy latrines.The studyanalyzed data using a scatter plot.The study results found that the higher the percentage of coverage ofaccess and clean water source in regency/city, the lower the prevalence of diarrhea in children under five inthat regency/city. The higher the percentage of access to healthy latrines in a region, the lower the majorityof diarrhea in children under five.Meanwhile, the higher the proper handwashing behavior proportion inan area, the lower the prevalence of diarrhea in children under five in that area. Moreover, the higher theproportion of defecating behavior in healthy latrines in a region, the lower the prevalence of diarrhea inchildren under five. The study concluded that sanitation access and health behavior were related to thediarrhea prevalence in children underfive.

Abstract

Background: The Spheno-occipital synchondrosis (SOS) has a significant role in role in the field of forensic,medical and anthropological sciences for age analysis. Therefore, SOS can help estimating age dependingon different stages of closure. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the timing of complete fusionof Spheno-occipital synchondrosis using computed tomography.Methods: A prospective study including 110 subjects was conducted in which 55 males and 55 femalesbetween the ages of 15-25. All CT examinations were performed on a 128 slice incisive CT, Philips and16- slice big bore CT, Philips. The sagittal image was used for analysis the stage of spheno-occipital fusion.Based on the stage of fusion of SOS, patients were categorized into stage 0 indicating partial/no fusion andstage 1indicating complete closure of the SOS. An experienced radiologist scored all images.Conclusion: The mean age of male cases with complete SOS closure was 20.3 ± 3 years for males and20 ± 3.1 years for females. The study results show that by age of 20, no individual will belong to stage 0irrespective of gender and all individuals would have completely fused SOS.

Abstract

Autism Spectrum Disorder issue (ASD) infers a degree of conditions depicted by some level of debilitatedsocial lead, correspondence and language, and an obliged degree of interests and exercises that are bothunprecedented to the individual and did slowly. ASDs start in youth and will when everything is said indone proceed into energy and adulthood. An incredible piece of the time the conditions are clear duringthe hidden 5 years of life. It is assessed that overall one of every 160 youngsters has an ASD. This gaugespeaks to a normal figure, and revealed commonness fluctuates significantly across contemplates. Some verymuch controlled investigations have, notwithstanding, revealed figures that are significantly higher. Thepredominance of ASD in some low-and centre salary nations is so far obscurePeople with ASD a great partof the time present other co-happening conditions, including epilepsy, incapacitation, weight and thoughtmisfortune hyperactivity issue (ADHD). Intervention during early childhood is imperative to advance theideal turn of events and prosperity of individuals with an ASD. Observing of kid advancement as a featureof routine maternal and youngster medicinal services is suggested.
