Title : Growth Hormone and Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Status in Pediatric Patients with β-Thalassemia Major
Abstract : Patients with β-thalassemia major (β-TM) often present with endocrine abnormalities, mainly due to dysfunction in their hypothalamic-pituitary axis, such as delayed growth and puberty. We aimed to assess the growth parameters of patients with β-TM and to evaluate the growth hormone (GH)- insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) axis. This case-control study included 50 patients, 8-19 years old, with β-TM registered at Basra Center for Hereditary Blood Diseases, Southern Iraq, and 75 apparently healthy subjects. Anthropometric data were evaluated using the WHO Child Growth Standards. Growth hormone provocation test, serum IGF-1, ferritin, thyroid and gonadotropin hormones were also measured. Twenty-six (52%) β-TM patients had short stature. Patients with β-TM had significantly lower peak GH levels (after induction) and IGF-1 levels compared to the control group, (P < 0.01 and P < 0.001, respectively). Growth hormone deficiency and impaired IGF-1 were found in 65% and 92% of patients with short stature, respectively. The GH deficiency was observed after a provocation test with a cut- off peak less than 7 or 10 ng/ml. Moreover, significant negative associations were reported between serum ferritin and peak GH (r - 0.239), IGF-1 (r - 0.386), thyroxine (r - 0.423), and hemoglobin (r - 0.612) levels. IGF-1 can be considered as a useful and sensitive test in assessing growth retardation among pediatric patients with β-TM. In addition, more than one-third of patients were GH-sufficient, suggesting a multifactorial origin rather than GH deficiency alone.

Title : The Relationship Between Eulerian Intersection Ideals of Graphs of Rings and Covid-19
Abstract : Let R be a commutative finite principal ideal ring with unity. Let G(R) be the simple graph consisting of nontrivial proper ideals of R as vertices such that two vertices I and J are adjacent if they have nonzero intersection. In this article, we prove that the intersection graphs of ideals of a ring R, denoted by Γ(G(R)), is Eulerian graph if |G(𝐑𝐢 )| is odd for all i or R is a product of more than two fields. And the complement of the intersection graphs of ideals of a ring R, denoted by Γ(G(𝐑)) ̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅is Eulerian graph if R is a product of more than one local ring with |G(𝐑𝐢 )|)| is odd for all i, we investigated the relationship between the intersection graphs of ideals of a ring R and the patient’s immune to Covid-19. In addition, we tried to use Eulerian graph to model the danger of Covid-19 patients.

Title : Prevalence of low back pain among nursing staff in Najran, Saudi Arabia: A cross-sectional study
Abstract : This study aimed to determine the various demographic and work-related professional characteristics associated with low back pain among nursing professionals in Najran, Saudi Arabia. A self administered modified questionnaire (electronic), which included information on general subject demographics and work conditions, was sent through various electronic channels to which 187 nurses working across various health institutions in the Najran region responded. Among the included respondents, 35.3% were Saudis, and 64.7% were Non-Saudis, and 88.8% were in the young to middle- age group (21– 40 years). Similarly, 57.8% were females, while a majority (91%) completed a bachelor’s degree. In total, 140 respondents (74.8%) reported experiencing low back pain. Among the various work-related factors, gender, place of work, nature of work, and direct contact hours with patients per week were found to be significantly associated with low back pain. Assessment of pain characteristics found that a majority (88.2%) had mild to moderate localized back pain. A significant number of nursing professionals included herein reported to have low back pain, which appeared to be moderated by work-related characteristics, including place and nature of work. Our findings can help to establish policies and interventions aimed at reducing the risk and onset of low back pain.

Title : Job And Demographic Risk Factors Influencing Cellular Mediated Hypersensitivity Among Nigerian Laboratory University Workers In Multiple Chemical Exposures
Abstract : Chemicals from laboratories represent a significant risk in cellular mediated hypersensitivity (CMH) and chemo-induced skin injury due to chemical agents present under human skin layers absorbed from the surface. This study aimed to determine the occupational and socio-demographic characteristics of the laboratory workers associated with CMH in multiple chemical exposures. This was a cross-sectional study on a population-based sample of Nigerian laboratory university workers. Data were collected using the erythema index meter. The study included 287 laboratory workers and the results showed that the number of positive with CMH was 176 (61.3%) with 99 (56.3%) of them were male with AOR 0.31 (95%CI: 0.12, 0.77; p=0.011). Dark-skinned participants with CMH had AOR 0.49 (95%CI: 0.21, 081; p=0.001). Most of the respondents have college education and have been exposed for 4-5hrs in the laboratory with AOR 2.42 (95%CI: 1.10, 5.38; p = 0.049) and 3.11 (95%CI: 1.77, 9.23; p =0.001) respectively. The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) was 60% less likely to be significantly induced with CMH with AOR 0.40 (95%CI: 0.22, 0.77; p=0.011). The Permissible exposure limit (PEL) of chemical was less but have an induced CMH with AOR 4.22 (95%CI: 2.88, 12.11; p =0.004). Conclusion: Results revealed that sex, skin color, working experience, educational level, PPE, PEL, and time of exposure were the probable predictive factors associated with the development of CMH. This study has shown that CMH was significantly associated with occupational and demographic factors. Better educational knowledge and attitude of hazards and safety in the laboratory would lead to a reduced rate of new cases.

Title : THE EFFECT OF LOCAL FOOD-BASED CRACKERS READY TO USE THERAPEUTIC FOOD (RUTF) ON NUTRITIONAL STATUS IN MALNOURISHED TODDLERS
Abstract : Local food-based Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) is a therapeutic food with local food sources of tempeh flour and pumpkin flour to improve the nutritional status of malnourished and deficient toddlers who have a composition of energy, protein, fat, vitamin A and iron. This study aims to determine the effect of local food-based RUTF crackers on the nutritional status of malnourished toddlers. Quasi Experiment research design with controlled pre-posttest design. The study population was all toddlers aged 13-60 months with malnutrition status. The sample was selected according to the criteria for each treatment and control group as many as 18 people (total 36 people). The intervention in the treatment group was giving RUTF crackers based on local food 50 grams per day and nutrition education. The control group was given 50 grams of PMT biscuits per day from the Puskesmas and nutrition education. Analysis using independent t-test and using the Mann-Whitney test’. There was an effect of giving RUTF crackers on the increase in z score of weight / height between the treatment group and the control group (p = 0.010). Giving RUTF crackers can increase body weight, so it is recommended that toddlers continue to consume balanced nutritional foods as needed because PMT is complementary not a substitute.
