Abstract

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 is the cause of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The most effective method in controlling the disease is maintaining the distance between people and, if necessary, quarantine. Recent evidence suggests that people kept in isolation and quarantine experience significant anxiety, confusion, and stress levels. This study aims to investigate the effects of COVID-19 on mental health in kidney transplant recipients. In this cross-sectional study, all renal transplant patients who followed up in our transplantation clinic were evaluated to be included in the study. The Turkish version of the fear of COVID-19 scale, depression anxiety stress scale (DASS-21), and satisfaction with life scale (SWLS) were administered to the patients. Patients were interviewed face-to-face by the same physician. A total of 68 patients were included in the study: 29 (42.6 percent) women and 39 (57.4 percent) men. In the present study, we detected that DASS-21 anxiety, depression, stress, and total scores were higher in patients with a family history of psychiatric disease than without (p<0.05). We did not find any statistical differences between patients’ demographic characteristics and fear of COVID-19 scale, DASS-21 anxiety, depression, stress, and total scores except for family history of psychiatric disease. More extensive and multi-center studies are needed to determine these patients' anxiety and depression states in the future.

Abstract

Respiratory cryptococcosis caused by Cryptococcus species can present with symptoms indistinguishable from bacterial or viral etiology. Cryptococcus species produce typical colonial features on Sunflower Seed Agar (SSA), which aids in rapid diagnoses of cryptococcosis. In studying respiratory cryptococcosis, we observed bacterial growths on SSA that resembled Cryptococcus species in colonial characteristics. This study aimed at identifying and characterizing those bacterial isolates for documentation. Sputum samples were collected from 201 patients with symptoms suggestive of respiratory cryptococcosis. The samples were inoculated onto SSA, incubated at 37oC for two weeks. Suspected colonies were further evaluated. Of the samples, none yielded Cryptococcus species, although a total of twenty Cryptococcus-resembling bacterial colonies were encountered and isolated. Eight of the isolates could not amplify by PCR techniques. The other twelve were identified as follows: Klebsiella pneumonia (8 or 67%), Klebsiella ozaneae (3 or 25%), and Enterobacter ludwigii (1 or 8%). All isolates were susceptible to Ertapenem, Meropenem, and Fosfomycin but resistant to ampicillin. Results show that Klebsiella and Enterobacter pneumonia-like illnesses can be misidentified as cryptococcosis using SSA.  Reliance on microscopic rather than macroscopic, colonial features on SSA will prevent misdiagnosis.

Abstract

The study's main objective is to determine the epidemiology, treatment, and outcome of the acquired anorectal conditions seen at the GNCPS. This study was a retrospective and prospective descriptive hospital-based study involving (131) child with Acquired anorectal conditions (AARC) who presented to GNCPS during the two-year study period. Data regarding the presentation, management, and post-operative course to look after complications and outcomes were collected. Data were collected using a formulated questionnaire and analyzed using (SPSS 17). Data considered statistically significant when P-value is less than 0.05. The study involved a total number of 131 children with AACS. The mean age of presentation is (5.78 years) with an overall 1.4:1 male to female ratio. Most of the study subjects are from rural areas, 66.4 percent. Most of them treated surgically, 83.2 percent, and 16.8 percent medically, with an overall complication rate of 24.4 percent. Conclusion Acquired Ano Rectal Conditions commonly seen at the preschooler age, mean (5.78 years). Rectal polyps and rectal prolapse were among the most frequently seen acquired anorectal conditions in children. Most of the cases treated surgically with an overall complication rate of 24.4 percent.

The sample in this study was fruit salads from 18 different producers sold in Banjarbaru, Indonesia. Fruit salad with criteria containing fruit, cheese, and mayonnaise. The bacteria that caused food poisoning to find in the fruit salad, namely Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus cereus. In conclusion, his research found the contamination of bacteria that cause food poisoning in Fruit Salad in Banjarbaru City with a percentage of 22 percent. The types of bacteria are Staphylococcus aureus (11 percent) and Bacillus cereus (11 percent).

Abstract

Hajj pilgrims must have certain vaccines for pilgrimage; these requirements aim to reduce the spread of infectious diseases. This study analyzed the trends in vaccine adherence for meningitis, yellow fever, and polio from January 2017- December 2019. These trends can help in guiding future policymaking to prevent outbreaks during Hajj and similar mass gatherings. We analyzed data using descriptive statistics for Hajj pilgrims and Hajj seasonal workers arriving in Saudi Arabia over three years (2017–2019). Health Control Centers (HCCs) collected data at points-of-entry (PoE) and entered it into Saudi Arabia’s Health Electronic Surveillance Network (HESN). We reviewed HESN data to collect information on total passengers arriving per country and the number of passengers vaccinated for: meningococcal meningitis, poliomyelitis, and yellow fever. We compared data to identify the difference in vaccination by region.  We used chi-square tests to assess differences in compliance rate among these travelers by year and country of origin. The number of participating countries increased from 113 to 132. Meningitis vaccine coverage increased by 5% from 2017–2019. The increase was not statistically significant. Asia had the lowest overall adherence rate (83%). Yellow fever adherence decreased significantly using a difference of mean adherence between 2017 and 2019 (p-value 0.01). Polio vaccination adherence decreased by 5% from 2017 to 2019; this was not significant (p-value = 0.08). The vaccine coverage increased for meningitis and decreased for yellow fever and polio. Less than 100% vaccine adherence among Hajj travelers creates the potential for the spread of infectious diseases. Proof of vaccination should be required in submitted visa applications. Countries of origin and Saudi Arabia must work together to ensure that all Hajjis are adequately vaccinated before departure.

Abstract

Anemia can be related to several factors, including knowledge, body mass index, and menstrual patterns. Adolescent girls are a high-risk group who experience anemia. This study aims to analyze the hemoglobin levels of adolescent girls about knowledge, body mass index, and patterns menstrual. Information on the relationship between hemoglobin levels and these factors expects to be a reference for strategies to overcome anemia in adolescent girls. The sample of this research is the students of Martapura Indonesia vocational high school, totaling 45 people. Data collection includes weight and height measurements, hemoglobin examination (using Easy Touch GCHb), and questionnaires. Data analysis used bivariate analysis of chi-square test with 0.05 with 95% confidence degree. Results Respondents had fewer hemoglobin levels 47%, normal 53%. The body mass index value of respondents is less than 85%, normal 13%, excess 2%. The respondent's menstrual pattern obtained 26% abnormal data, 74% normal data. Knowledge of anemia of respondents with enough category 34%, good category 66%. The conclusion is that there is no relationship between hemoglobin levels and body mass index (p-value 0.281), menstrual patterns (p-value 0.073), and knowledge of anemia (p-value 0.402) in adolescent girls. Hemoglobin levels may more influence by the consumption pattern of foods containing iron, so it recommends that young women consume more iron-rich foods and avoid the simultaneous consumption of substances that inhibit their absorption, such as tea and coffee.
