Abstract

Chronic myeloid leukemia characterized by the expansion of a clone of hematopoietic cells that carriesthe Philadelphia chromosome (Ph). The aim of study are to find if there is an association between bloodgroups and chronic myeloid leukemia, and to determine the role of the oxidative stress as risk factor. Ninetypersons included in the study (45 as patient and 45 as control group). Patients were suffering from CML,the control are free from this disease. There are ranged from (21-60) years old where they are divided into four group according to blood group (A, B, AB, and O). The sera were collected from the 90 personsand analyzed by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for MDA and GSH. The results ofthe study show that blood group O (44%) predominates in CML patients group followed by blood group A(22%), B (18 %) and AB (16%). The mean serum level MDA value shows highly significance at (P?0.001)change in the patients group in comparison with control. Also show that the level of MDA in male (900. 99± 603.89) is significantly higher than in female (582.28 ± 562.29). The mean serum level of GSH show thatsignificant decrease at (P?0.05) in patients group (40. 12 ± 27.33) than in control groups (55.20 ± 28.79). Asa conclusion from this study, the importance of MDA and GSH in CML patients can be used to detect thecomplications related to the among these patients.

India, being aLower Middle-Income Country (LMIC) with a GNI per capita of nearly $2000, has proactively institutedvarious containment strategies. India has witnessed the effectiveness of primary prevention strategies infighting various health problems in the years gone. The most worrying factor was about community spreadof the pandemic, which would cause the spread of illness uncontrollable.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disorder caused by elevated levels of high blood glucose(hyperglycemia). This chronic hyperglycemia causes ROS to accumulate and oxidative stress to increase.Rosa damascena is a plant that contains high levels of antioxidants and polyphenols, but this is not widelyknown to the public. Purpose: The aim of this study is to understand the hypoglycemic effects from Rosadamascena on blood glucose levels and diameter of Langerhans pancreatic islets. Method: Thirty Wistaralbino rats (200-225gr) were divided into 6 groups. Group 1 was a normal control (KN), group 2 washyperglycemic (KD), group 3 was metformin 250 mg/kg BW (KM), group 4 was treatment extract 250 mg/kg BW (P1), group 5 was treatment extract 500 mg/kg BW (P2) group 6 was treatment extract 1000 mg/kg BW (P3). All animals in the group were injected with STZ 50 mg/kg BW, except for group 1. Result:Data were analyzed statistically using SPSS- 22 software with the Kruskall-Wallis test (p<0.05). The resultshowed that ethanolic extract of Rosa damascena has decreased blood glucose levels in days-14 (382±21,97) with 250 mg/kg BW (P1) compare with another treatment group. In histological observed there areno significant different between group (p>0.05). This is showing that ethanolic extract of Rosa damascenahas inability to repaired the diameter of Langerhans pancreatic islets. Conclusion: Ethanolic extract of Rosadamascena decreased blood glucose levels but did not repaired the diameter of Langerhans pancreatic islets.

Abstract

Background: Congenital Anomalies Kidney and Urinary Tract (CAKUT) are the leading cause of kidneyfailure in children and cause of 30-40% end-stage renal disease with obstructive uropathy as the main cause.CAKUT obstructive type are: vesico uretric junction obstruction (VUJO), pelvic uretric junction obstruction(PUJO), posterior uretral valve (PUV) and non-obstructive type are reflux, neurogenic and hypoplasia. Theaim of this study is to describe the effect of CAKUT on renal function in child.Methods: Retrospective study from medical records of children with CAKUT at Dr. Soetomo GeneralHospital, Surabaya, Indonesia from January 2013 - March 2018. The characteristic of sex, age range, type ofCAKUT and glomerulus filtration (GFR) value were recorded from medical record. Data processing usingdescriptive analysis with SPSS.Result: A total of 94 Children on CAKUT abnormalities, both boys and girl’s presentation equal 50%.Median age 3.0 (minimum-maximum 1.0-15.0) year. The most common CAKUT type in male were VUJO17 (36.2%) and in female neurogenic type 19 (40.4%). Median initial glomerular filtration rate 2.7 ml/min/1.73 m2. Analysis of correlation between CAKUT and renal function p=0.072 (R2=0,03). From 94children of CAKUT, only 12 (12.8%) patients have undergo surgical intervention.Conclusion: CAKUT with dominant obstructive type was more common in male and non-obstructive typein female pediatric patient.

Abstract

The nursing stress literature points to an overwhelming culture of accepting and expecting stress at work,ironically linked to controlling the workplace to effectively and actively manage stress. According to the KarasekJob Demand Control Support (JDCS) model, stress-causing factors have been extensively studied in nursing-relatedworkplaces, especially in critical and emergency situations. However, little is known about the impact of workplacestress on the cognitive functions of caregivers.Method: A survey was carried out using the JDCS model among 96 nurses working in different departments ofthe provincial hospital in Kenitra (emergencies, surgical operating units, pediatrics…). Specific questions exploredvariables such as gender, length of service in the system, level of qualification and work experience.Results: A high level of job strain was highlighted with a gender effect. Women Nurses are more stressed than men.According to the study, age over 40 was a key factor in high work stress, also for the work schedule; nurses adoptingthe 12/36 system were located in the high stress quadrant. Both of these factors can be predictors of poor mental health.Strategies to improve the personal and professional performance of nurses to cope with daily stressors in differenthospital departments are needed.
