Title : Correlation Between T peak to end Interval and Left Ventricular Time to Peak Longitudinal Strain in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy Patient
Abstract : Ischemic cardiomyopathy is the most frequent etiology of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and a result of ventricular structural, functional, and electrical remodelling. T peak to end (Tpe) interval is an electrocardiographic parameter that represent repolarization heterogeneity and had prognostic value for ventricular arrhythmia. Patients with Ischemic cardiomyopathy face a significant burden of arrhythmias. Mechanical dispersion is a functional remodelling parameter that can be measured by time to peak longitudinal strain using speckle tracking echocardiography. This study aims to assess the relationship between Tpe interval with time to peak longitudinal strain in ischemic cardiomyopathy patients. This study was conducted with observational analytical cross-sectional design. Ischemic cardiomyopathy subjects were included at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, from August to October 2019. Tpe interval was measured manually with tangential method. Time to peak longitudinal strain was measured using speckle tracking echocardiography. The correlation between Tpe interval and time to peak longitudinal strain was analyzed using Pearson correlation. A total of 30 subjects were included in this study. The average age was 58 ± 8 years old and the average left ventricular ejection fraction was 27 ± 5.5%. The average of Tpe interval was 83.4 + 7.62 ms and the average of time to peak longitudinal strain was 93.13 ± 34.51 ms. The Pearson correlation test showed a significant weak positive correlation (r=-0.386, 95% CI (0.029 – 0.743, p 0.018) between Tpe interval and time to peak longitudinal strain in ischemic cardiomyopathy patients. There was a significant weak positive correlation between Tpe interval and time to peak longitudinal strain in ischemic cardiomyopathy patients.

Title : Genetic Convergence Study between Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated from Dental Units Water Samples and Clinical Samples
Abstract : The aim of this study is to identify the genetic convergence between many strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa that isolated from two different environments clinical samples and water samples. A total of 13 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were collected, six isolates from clinical samples were obtained from patients attending in Al- Ramadi Hospital and seven samples of water from Faculty of Dentistry clinics /University of Anbar. Genotyping was done by employing the ERIC fingerprinting assay. The biofilm formation was tested by using Quantitative biofilm assay. The results of our study found genetic relatedness between the strains according to the molecular analysis of DNA using ERIC-PCR, revealed genetically identical among clinical strains and dental unites waterline strains. The 13 strains were divided in to three classes (I, II and III) according to molecular analysis of DNA results. The class I of P. aeruginosa include (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P9, P10 and P11 strains) that isolated from waterline dental unite and clinical samples. The class II of P. aeruginosa include (P8, P12 and P13) were isolated from clinical samples. The class III (P6 and P7) were grouped in the same cluster, these samples were obtained from water samples. Our study found that all isolates were producing biofilm and there are no significant differences between the isolates in forming biofilm (p 0.05). According to the statistic results the study found that class I have the highest ability to produce biofilm.

Title : The Antimicrobial Effect of Salvia Officinalis Extracts on The Salivary Lactobacilli in Comparison to Chlorhexidine (in vitro study)
Abstract : Salvia Officinalis (sage) is a plant which has been used since ancient times for its culinary and medicinal effects and the uses of antimicrobial agent to control plaque and oral disease has been advocated for a number of years. Different compounds have been delivered through mouth rinses or tooth pastes or by topical application. The purpose of this research is to find out and to compare between the anticariogenic properties of aqueous and alcoholic sage extract on the growth of causative cariogenic bacteria (salivary Lactobacilli). In the present study lactobacilli were isolated from saliva of twenty-five dental students (age range between 20-21 years). These bacteria were isolated, purified and diagnosed according to morphological characteristic, biochemical tests and Vitek 2 system. Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus salivarius, and Lactobacillus acidophilus were isolated from stimulated saliva of students under study. Agar diffusion technique showed that sage extracts (aqueous and alcoholic) were inhibited the growth of lactobacilli, and the diameter of inhibition zone increased as the concentration of sage extract increased, but the effect of aqueous extract was less than the effect of alcoholic extract. The minimum bactericidal concentrations of aqueous and alcoholic sage extract were 50%, 20% respectively. Alcoholic sage extract inhibits salivary lactobacilli higher than aqueous extract.

Title : Relationship between Inflammation Markers and Stenosis Degrees in Stable Coronary Heart Disease
Abstract : Stable coronary heart disease is the highest cause of death. This situation involves neutrophils and lymphocytes described by the neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in inflammation. Inflammation makes an increase in acute phase protein C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA), both of which also play a role in coronary artery stenosis. The degree of stenosis is measured by Gensini scores through invasive angiography. The relationship between the three hematological parameters and the degree of coronary artery stenosis needs a further investigation. A cross sectional study involving 35 stable coronary heart patients was calculated according to the formula of the sample size with inclusion and exclusion criteria. Examination of NLR was done by comparing absolute neutrophil counts, moreover absolute lymphocytes was examined by using a hematology analyzer. CRP levels were examined by the hs-CRP method and SAA levels were examined by using the ELISA principle. The Gensini score was used to assess coronary artery stenosis. The Spearman relationship test was used to analyze between variables. p <0.05 was considered significant. There is a significant positive relationship between NLR and SAA but no correlation between CRP and NLR and SAA. There is a significant positive relationship between NLR and SAA with Gensini scores. There is no relationship between CRP and Gensini score. NLR is a simple parameter and SAA is a biomolecular parameter, both of which increase with increasing weight coronary artery stenosis, in stable CHD patients, it can be used for evaluation of stable CHD patients.

Title : Assessment of Glycemic Control in Diabetic Patients by Correlation of Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) and Postprandial Plasma Glucose (PPG) with Glycosylated Hemoglobin
Abstract : Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by lack of blood glucose homeostasis. This results from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Optimal glycemic control is fundamental in the management of DM. It is considered the main therapeutic objective for preventing the development and progression of diabetic micro and macro vascular complications. The aim of this study is to assess the glycemic control of diabetic patients by the correlation between FPG and PPG with HbA1c. More than 40 original research articles using online database were critically reviewed. It was found that the correlation between PPG and HbA1c is stronger than that between FPG and HbA1c. However, some studies revealed a stronger correlation between FBG and HbA1c than that between PPG and HbA1c. The correlation coefficient (r) ranged from 0.44-0.81 for PPG and from 0.28-0.81 (Table 1). Patients who achieved 2-h PPG within the reference limit better attained target HbA1c values than patients who achieved FPG within reference limit. In other words, decreasing PPG accounted for a greater decrease in HbA1c than decrease in FPG. Therefore, control of PPG is more reliable for achieving target HbA1c ˂7% than FPG. Both FPG and PPG levels were correlated with HbA1c, but higher correlation was observed between HbA1c and PPG than FPG. HbA1c is the best standard in assessing glycemic control with the availability of standardized methods.
