Abstract: The purpose of this study was to use Doppler indices to measure umbilical (UA) and middle cerebral (MCA) arteries for high risk pregnancy in 3rd trimester. Peak systolic velocity (PSV), end diastolic velocity (EDV), resistive index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI) for each artery were measured in 100 known cases of IUGR and compared with control group of 50 normal pregnant women. The mean (UA) indices were (PI 1.299, RI 0.749, S/D 5.137) and the mean indices for (MCA) were (PI 1.347, RI 0.732, S/D 3.833). The end diastolic flow (EDF) in (UA) was decreased in 39.3% cases, absent in 17.6%, positive in 37.2% and reversed in 5.9% cases but the (EDF) in (MCA) was increased in 75% and positive in 25%. The study showed (37.3%) of cases have oligohydrominus, (15%) decreased liquor, (3.9%) polyhyrominus and (43.11%) were normal. The study suggested that (RI) of (UA) was a good predictive tool for detection of IUGR.

Abstract: A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the epidemiology of bovine tuberculosis (BTB) and its public health significance in 10 intensive dairy farms, owning 558 head of cattle in Debre Zeit. On the basis of the CIDT test, the overall animal level prevalence was 17.02% (95% CI: 16.99%- 17.05%). A statistically significant variation in prevalence was observed across age group (c2 =19.9; P= 0.001); lactation (c2 =13.42; P= 0.001) and parity class (c2 =12.80; P= 0.012). The herd prevalence was significantly associated with herd management (c2 = 32.19; P = 0.000) and air circulation (c2 = 31.94; P = 0.000). Out of the 25 tuberculin skin tested dairy farmer workers 16 were skin reactors (>10mm induartion) with a prevalence of latent tuberculosis of 64% (16/25) was recorded. The prevalence was significantly different across their habit of raw animal product consumption (c2 = 10.43; P = 0.001) and their knowledge of tuberculosis transmission (c2 = 5.74; P = 0.017). With regard to their knowledge of bovine and its public health risk of transmission from cattle to human 64% (16/25) of the respondents do not know about bovine TB and its risk of transmission, while only 36% (9/25) were aware of the disease and its zoonotic transmission. Mycobacteriological culture of milk and nasal swab from strong tuberculin reactor animals showed 4% (1/22) growth in the culture and direct m-PCR result showed signal positive for 7 samples (3milk and 4nasal swab) out of 20 samples have signal for genus Mycobacterium. In conclusion, this study had demonstrated the high prevalence of BTB in the expanding dairy farms of Deber Zeit and hence it warrants a need for action towards the control of bovine tuberculosis in the study area.

Abstract: Bacteriological analysis of recirculatory aquaculture systems in eight farms randomly selected in the Lagos metropolis was carried out. Two fish farms each were examined from Iyana-Iba, Victoria Island, Maryland and Ibeju Lekki. A set of questionnaires was also administered on the staff of the fish farms. Ninety six (96) catfish, Clarias gariepinus were obtained from the fish farms studied with twelve fish samples from each of the fish farms. Each fish was dissected aseptically to bring out the liver and kidney. A swab each of the liver, the kidney, the gill and the skin were studied bacteriologically using standard methods. Water samples and feeds were also examined from all fish farms for E.coli and other enteric bacterial pathogens. Thirteen bacterial species were recovered from the fish farms which included E.coli, Shugella sp, Edwardsiella sp, Enterobacter sp., Pseudomonas sp,. Aeromonnas sp., Pleisomonas sp., Vibrio sp., Hafnia sp., Acinetobacter sp, Serratia sp, Salmonella sp and Yersinia sp. No bacteria was recovered from the fish feed and the stocking density practiced in all fish farms conformed with standard practices. Educational status appeared not to be a predisposing factor to fish infection.

Abstract: Gastrointestinal nematode parasites are the major animal health constraints in goat production and contributing loss in productivity and economy. A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2014 to April 2015 in Bedeno district of Eastern Hararghe Zone, Eastern Ethiopia, to determine the prevalence of major gastrointestinal nematodes of goat and to assess associated risk factors in the study area. The present study revealed the existence an overall 43.5% prevalence of GI nematode parasites, among the different nematodes, the prevalence of strongyle type was 30.5% followed by Strongloid species 6.8% and Trichuris species 1.8% using coprological examination. Prevalence of infection was greater (45.5%) in males than females (42.5%) and higher prevalence was observed in younger (48.3%) as compared to adult (42%). Difference in body condition score is statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) with gastrointestinal nematode infection such that highest prevalence in poor body condition (93.5%) when compared with good body condition (2.3%). Out of 384 sampled goats, 14.8%, 20.1% and 8.5% were infested lightly, moderately and massively respectively. The highest degree (17.2%) of infection was occurred in March while the least (0%) was in January and February. The finding suggests that Bedeno district is conducive for the successive maintenance and subsequent transmission of nematode parasites to susceptible hosts. Therefore strategic anthelminthic treatments of goat with broad spectrum anthelminthic at the beginning of rain and at the end of dry season should be recommended to reduce the worm burden and minimize pasture contamination with larvae.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to discover the understanding of the concept of empowerment. This paper is analyzing the concept of empowerment by using the Hybrid Model. The hybrid model of concept development (Schwartz-Barcott & Kim, 2000) is an approach that helps in the analysis and development of selected concepts. There are different models for concept analysis. The hybrid model combines theoretical and empirical analysis. Researchers face many difficulties when developing the central concept of a theory, such as lacking adequate definitions and measurements. The hybrid model aids researchers in identifying and overcoming difficulties by: selecting concepts integral to nursing practice for analysis; broadly reviewing literature to capture commonalities and extremes in the conceptualization and application across disciplines; focusing analysis on the definition and measurement of the concept; and interfacing the initial theoretical analysis based on the literature with the insights gained from the empirical data obtained in phase two (Schwartz-Barcott & Kim, 2000, p. 130).

Abstract: Thallus of Turbinaria a marine alga belonging to Phaeophyceae was studied and detailed micromorphological and phytochemical evaluation was done. Morphology of the thallus has been studied to aid pharmacognostic and phytochemical evidences to aid in taxonomic species identification. Parameters presented in this paper may be proposed to establish the authenticity of this plant and can possibly help to differentiate the alga from its other species. The study revealed several interesting characters like funnel shaped terminal bodies and its cellular details. All the essential amino acids were present but isoleucine and asparagine occurred in huge amounts. Vitamin B6 formed the major part in addition to Vitamin B2 and Vitamin B1. The algae is a rich source of palmitic acid.

Abstract: Preterm babies are at risk of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and require mechanical ventilation (MV) and surfactant for living. A method of MV is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) especially for neonates is Nasal CPAP in which surfactant is administered to them via tracheal instillation. The aim of present study was comparing nasal continuous positive airway pressure NCPAP therapy with and without prophylactic surfactant in preterm neonates. This is a randomized clinical trial study performed on eighty newborns (28-34 weeks) whom were born in Ali-ebne-Abitaleb hospital affiliated to Zahedan University of Medical Sciences from October 2008 to September 2010. Subjects were randomly classified into groups whom received nasal CPAP with or without surfactant (40 patients in each group). Factors for entrance to research were including approved RDS, gestational age less than 34 weeks and neonates 72 hours after delivery. The data collected through direct observation and 14 purposeful items by researcher. Both groups received surfactant (Curosurf, Parma, Italy) at 100mg/kg/24hours or 4ml/kg/24hours with NCPAP and NCPAP alone. The data analysis were conducted through the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 17.00 and followed by Crosstab (Pearson Chi-square). Results revealed that six neonates who received only NCPAP and four patients who received NCAPA and surfactant underwent MV. After a week follow up, 33 neonates who received only NCPAP and 36 patients who received CPAP and prophylactic surfactant remained alive. There was no significant difference between the groups regarding adverse outcomes (P=0.518). According to the results of this study, NCPAP is indictable as a safe protocol for RDS in preterm neonates. Further research is required to clarify and validate our findings.

Abstract: Low birth weight is the most important cause of mortality in infancy which occurs due to the several reasons including the birth of a preterm (premature) baby. These infants need to be in hospital due to the undeveloped respiratory and digestive systems and coordination between different systems. Long stay in the hospital can be associated with complications and high cost of treatment, therefore, treatments that reduce the duration of stay in hospital can help the patient and the healthcare system. Methodology: This study was a clinical-trial study which conducted through selecting both control and intervention groups. In this study, 20 cases (infants) were assigned to each group and intervention was performed using the PIOMI method. Results: The mean duration of stay in hospital in the both control and intervention groups were 19.4 (days) and 16.5 (days) respectively which showed a significant difference (P = 0.027). Discussion and Conclusion: Oral motor stimulation using PIOMI method is an effective help in earlier start of oral feeding, and reduction in the duration of stay in hospital. Therefore, this method can help the treatment of preterm infants and lower health care costs.

Abstract: High pressure liquid chromatographic-tandem mass spectrometric (LC/MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the determination of lamivudine and nevirapine in human plasma. The method was validated over the linearity range of 10–500 ng/ml (R2 > 0.99) using zalcitabine as an internal standard. Blood samples were obtained from HIV patients at two different collecting times which were first blood samples collected when the questionnaire was administered and second blood sample after one month from the collection of the first blood sample. The plasma extraction was performed using protein precipitation of plasma, followed by centrifugation. The lower limit of quantification (LOQ) was 10 ng/ml. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Zorbax-C18 and the flow rate was kept constant at 0.8ml/min. Mobile phase A was formic acid in water and mobile phase B was 10mM ammonium formate in acetonitrile with pH 5.8. LC-MS-MS in positive mode used pairs of ions of 230.20/111.90, 267.08/226.10, 212.08/112.00 for lamivudine, nevirapine and zalcitabine, respectively. Excellent precision and accuracy were observed. The recovery achieved was 85%. A second sample was collected from the same patients after a period of one month to validate the method. Higher sensitivity and accuracy achieved for this method make it suitable to measure low concentration of lamivudine and nevirapine in plasma of healthy and diseased subjects.

Abstract: Problem Statement and Research Objectives:Obesity is an epidemic in a century, and developed and developing countries as a major problem in health care is a serious concern. Prevalence of overweight and obesity between the ages of 50 to 70 percent over twenty years In Tehran, 50% were overweight and 15 to 20 percent are obese. Obesity is directly or indirectly more than 10 percent of the cost of a country it covers. Obesity is also directly both through the development of diabetes, heart disease and various cancers are caused by damage to healthy humans. The increasing prevalence of this disease in children and adolescents countries is a serious concern. In most developed countries and some developing countries, the national program for prevention and control of obesity are defined in which to develop strategies and action plans and the role of all governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations also play a role (NGO) families and society are discussed. Of these countries can the U.S. and other countries like Canada, Australia, Europe and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, cited. In the industrialized world and developing countries like the United States of America, several states, including Ohio, New Jersey, New York, a program designed to prevent obesity and its implementation are being. Survey accomplished only by acting within the scope of national policies and programs to prevent and control obesity, Obesity Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Disease Control of the Ministry of Health was developed in 1384, but unfortunately has not been applied.

Abstract: Introduction: erythropoietin (EPO) is known as a regulating hormone for production of red blood cells called Erythropoiesis. Some studies have shown that erythropoietin have some non-hematopoietic protective effects on ischemia-reperfusion injury in myocytes. We evaluated the effect of EPO infusion on reducing ischemia-reperfusion injuries and improvement of cardiac function by echocardiography shortly after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Material and methods: 43 patients were joined the study and randomly divided in two groups, EPO group: receiving standard medication and CABG surgery plus 700 IU/kg erythropoietin and control group: receiving standard medication and CABG surgery plus 10cc normal saline as placebo. The cardiac functions were assessed by Echocardiography at before, 4 days after and also 30 days after CABG operation. Results: Echocardiography indicated that EF had no differences between EPO and control group at 4 days (47.05±6.29 vs 45.90±4.97, P=0.334) or 30 days after surgery (47.27±28 vs 46.62±5.7, P=0.69). There were no differences between EPO and control group in wall motion score index at 4 days (P=0.83) or 30 days after surgery (P=0.902). In EPO group: Left ventricle end systolic and diastolic diameter (LVESD, LVEDD) had reduction, as compared to control group. Conclusion: we suggest that peri-operatively exogenous EPO infusion can’t improveventricular function and Wall motion index in first weeks after surgery. But as compared to control group, reduction in LVEDD and LVESD at 4 days or 30 days after CABG surgery in EPO group suggested that EPO had correlation with reduction of myocytes remodeling and reperfusion injury early after CABG surgery.
