Abstract : The relationship between nurses' job satisfaction and stress is well documented. However, there is a lack of studies about the relationship between job satisfaction, anxiety, and depression among nurses. The general purpose of this study was to identify the effect of job satisfaction on anxiety and depressive symptoms among critical care nurses. This was a cross-sectional study with a convenience sample of 220 critical care nurses from one hospital from three sectors, governmental, private, and teaching in Amman, Jordan. Job satisfaction, anxiety, and depressive symptoms were measured by self-reported questionnaires. The whole sample was ambivalently satisfied, and having mild anxiety symptoms, and moderate-severe depressive symptoms. Nurses who were working in the intensive care units were the least in their level of anxiety and depressive symptoms and highly satisfied compared to other groups. Nurses who were working in the governmental hospital had higher levels of depressive symptoms than nurses who were working in a private hospital, and they were less satisfied. Working in the intensive care units decreased anxiety symptoms by 0.18 score, and every score increased in job satisfaction, decreased anxiety symptoms by 0.19 score. Being married increased depressive symptoms by 0.26 score and working in governmental hospitals increased depressive symptoms by 0.19 score. Every score increased in job satisfaction, decreased depressive symptoms by 0.27 score. Job dissatisfaction increased levels of anxiety and depressive symptoms among nurses. This might increase rates of burn out and intention to leave workplace areas ending with shortage and impairment of quality of care. The implementation of different strategies to improve job satisfaction among critical care nurses is necessary.

Abstract : Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. The SOX2, having the ability of cancer stem cell self-renewal is responsible for the development of breast cancer. Objective: This study aimed to determine the frequency and gene expression pattern of SOX2 and its association with clinicopathological factors in invasive breast cancer in East Coast Malaysian women. Material and methods: The SOX2 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry on 100 samples of histologically diagnosed cases of invasive breast carcinomas, with known ER, PR and HER2 status,  retrieved over 4 years period from January 2012 to December 2015.  Positive samples were subjected to fluorescent in-situ hybridisation to determine the gene expression pattern.  Result: The SOX2 expression was detected in 6% of invasive breast carcinomas, and all these cases were due to gene amplification.  There was a significant positive correlation with tumour recurrence (P<0.001), large tumour size (P<0.001), lymphovascular invasion (P=0.006) and lymph node metastasis (P<0.01). The SOX2 expression was not correlated with age group (P =0.078), tumour grade (P = 0.465), ER positivity (P= 0.578), PR positivity (P= 0.578) or HER2 over expression (P= 0.541). Conclusion: The SOX2 expression has a potential to be used as a prognostic marker in breast cancer in which the expression indicates potential for early recurrence and aggressive tumour behaviour.  The SOX2 may also be considered as a target for immunotherapy to personalise the therapeutic strategies especially in preventing tumour recurrent..

Abstract : parenting a child with ASD is very demanding. the nature of the diagnosis, child behavior, sign and symptoms of ASD, financial burden and parental isolation putting parents at risk for developing PTSD while perceived social support might decrease their risks. The purposes of this study were to explore predictors of risk of PTSD among parents of child with ASD and checking the moderation effect of social support between gender and risk of PTSD. Quantitative cross-sectional descriptive – correlation design including 142 parents covering all centers in Amman was applied. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for Diagnostic Statistical Manual 5 (PCL-5), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and socio-demographics checklist were used in this study. Parents of children with ASD were at high risk of PTSD. Being a mother, the lowest perceived social support, those who pay for the treatment, the longest time since diagnosis and severity of the diagnosis predicted higher parental risk of PTSD while perceived social support moderates the relationship between gender and risk of PTSD. Findings emerged from this study allow nurses to understand and priorities the reasons of PTSD and will help them to develop appropriate nursing care plans. Moreover, a supportive program to the parents, especially mothers is needed. This supportive program should include informational support, financial support and social support. The effect of these programs can be evaluated through interventional studies in the future.

Abstract : Seagrass is rich of marine resources and capable of producing secondary metabolites so that it can be used as functional food. Secondary metabolites that are generally produced by organisms play a role in self-defense from the environment or from the attack of other organisms including attached organisms/ epiphytes and prevent infection from pathogens and can be used as antioxidants. This study aims to analyze the content of bioactive compounds and the potential of antioxidant activity of Thalassia hemprichii extract. The examination of bioactive compounds is using phytochemical tests and examination of antioxidant activity is using the diphenylpicrylhydrazil (DPPH) method. Phytochemical test results showed that Thalassia hemprichii extract contained bioactive compounds in the form of flavonoids, saponins, tannins and polyphenols. The results of the antioxidant activity test of Thalassia hemprichii extract obtained IC50 values of 80.0331 indicating that Thalassia hemprichii extract has strong antioxidant activity. This research proves that Thalassia hemprichii contains bioactive compounds that have the potential to be antibacterial and antioxidant..

Abstract : The trauma is responsible for most of hospitalizations and deaths all over the world, emerging as a major public health problem. Within this panorama, facial trauma deserves a spotlight, once it has dramatic aesthetic and functional repercussions for the victim. This paper aims to present an epidemiological survey of facial trauma at Feira de Santana – Bahia – Brazil and its metropolitan region from 2015 to 2018. As well, intend to compare the different etiological pattern between public and private services. For this purpose, was conducted a cross-sectional study based on secondary data collected from patient files at Maxillofacial Surgery reference centers, on public and private practice, with a total of 360 files collected. On general survey 76,94% where men, most of target population were victim of motorcycle accidents (28,47%) and the mandible fracture were the most prevalent with 23,13% of cases. In comparison, at the public service the most prevalent etiology was the motorcycle accident with 44,76%,  followed by an expressive amount of gunshot wounds with 18,09%. At private sector, car accidents were at the top with 20,52% of cases, followed by falls from own height with 20%. When talking about fracture location, mandible fractures amounted 46,25% at the public hospital.  The zygoma fractures were the most prominent with 24,89% at private hospitals. Sensible differences were found when comparing the trauma etiology and fractures morbidity between the two sectors. It can suggest a relation between socioeconomic status and the injuries severity, once major traumas were found at public health care..
