Vitamins, especially the water-soluble complex of vitamins B, are highlighted in the daily clinical practice. Numerous studies emphasize the need for supplementation, mainly in groups with deficiency of these vitamins, such as the elderly, pregnant women, children and patients with diseases associates with cognitive disorder. Thiamine (B1), a vitamin of the diet, is an important cofactor for the three key enzymes involved in the citric acid cycle and the pentose phosphate cycle. Pyridoxine (B6) and cobalamin (B12) act in the CNS as a cofactor in the metabolism reactions of homocysteine. Deficiency of some neurotransmitter precursors can also cause symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children, especially amino acid and vitamin B deficiency. Inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmitters regulate diverse behavioral processes, including sleep, learning, memory and sensation of pain. They are also implicated in many pathological processes, such as epilepsy and neurotoxicity. Studies suggest that the excitatory amino acids may play a role in learning and memory. The binding of glutamate to its receptor triggers molecular and cellular events associated with numerous physiological and pathophysiological pathways, including the development of an increased sensation of pain (hyperalgesia), brain neurotoxicity or synaptic alterations involved in certain types of memory formation. Between the two major classes of neuroactive amino acids, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the major inhibitory amino acid. It is known that GABA plays a fundamental role in encoding information and behavioral control, in the regulation of motor function and in motor learning. The inter-relationships between diet, the brain and behavior are complex. However, micronutrients are known to have a direct influence on cognitive function through their involvement in the energy metabolism of neurons and glia cells, the synthesis of neurotransmitters, receptor binding and the maintenance of membrane ion pumps.

Inadequate production of saliva causes an oral imbalance that has a great impact on the individual's quality of life. Diseases of various types are responsible for impaired production of saliva and dry mouth, as happens in xerostomia. It is usually associated with hypofunction of the salivary glands, which shows signs of dryness on oral mucosa, and other morphological features in the oral cavity. Saliva is composed of water and 1% of electrolytes and immunoglobulins, enzymes and other proteins. Its fluid component, which contains ions, is mainly produced by parasympathetic stimulation, while the protein component, produced in the acinar secretory vesicles, is released by sympathetic stimulation. The use of certain drugs is a major cause of xerostomia. Among these we found analgesics, anticonvulsants, antihistamines, antihypertensives, diuretics and antidepressants. The treatment is mainly done by saliva substitutes such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride, monopotassium phosphate and dipotassium phosphate. However, in some cases, stimulants, such as citric acid and sodium citrate, or even topical salivary substitutes can be effective. Furthermore, the use of specific oral care products is well accepted by the patients. The treatment is selected according to the ability of the glands to produce saliva. It is still not fully known what mechanism of action drugs that cause hyposalivation, dry mouth or changes in saliva composition use. Yet, it is important to know the side effects of prescribed drugs.

This study investigates the safety of ayam lalapan food processing in the catering service, and considers Halal dietary requirements due to the increasing demand for Halal food. Hazard and Haram Analysis Critical Control Point (HHACCP) proposed by Kohilavani et al. [1] is used to analyze the potential hazards as well as to improve the safety of food processing. By using this method, the presence of haram substance is analyzed aside from the regular hazard analysis, which consists of biological, chemical and physical hazards. Critical control points and Halal critical control points are identified to guarantee that the food processing of ayam lalapan meets Halal dietary requirements and is safe for human consumption. The total risk level after improvement can be reduced by 75.64% from 1.05 to 0.29 compared to before improvement.

Background: Compliance with standard precautions has been shown to reduce the risk of exposure to blood and body fluids. Nurses represent the largest percentage of the health care workers hence; their compliance with standard precautions guidelines seems to be more crucial in preventing the disease transmission among patients. Aim: this study aims to evaluate compliance to standard precautions among nurses working in Qassim Hospitals in KSA. Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted in 4 multispecialty hospitals of Al-Qassim region, KSA. A purposive sampling approach was adopted whereas sample consisted of 284 male and female nurses working in multispecialty hospitals. Data collected through self-administrative questionnaire which consists of; personal and work characteristics of nurses, nurses’ knowledge and compliance of standard precautions. Results: Nearly half of nurses had poor knowledge regarding standard precautions and the majority of nurses had better compliance to standard precautions. However nearly one third of nurses had good compliance to waste disposal. Conclusions: Compulsive training courses found to be vital for developing awareness among nurses, improving compliance to standard precautions and good clinical practice. Recommendations: Further studies are recommended by using different methods for data collection. Written universal precautions guidelines for infection control should be available.

Nanocrystalline Er-doped TiO2 was prepared by sol-gel at room temperature. X-ray diffraction, photoacoustic spectroscopy (optical absorption), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and electron dispersion microscopy (EDS) were carried out on both as-prepared and thermally-annealed (air at 700 oC) samples, revealing the anatase crystalline phase of TiO2. The samples exhibit an average grain size from 38 to 5.1 nm, as the nominal concentration of Er varies from 0 % to 7 %. The photoacoustic spectra evidence the absorption edge at 300 nm attributed to TiO2, as well as several electronic transitions which are atomic energy absorption-line levels characteristics of Er.

Based on our previous finding that metabolically controlled cell hydration is sensitive to the changes of physicochemical properties of cell aqua medium, which take place upon the effect of weak physical signals, including microwaves with non-thermal intensity (NT MW), it has been hypothesized that cell aqua medium serves as a primary target for NT MW effect on brain tissue. To elucidate the nature of the metabolic pathway through which the effect of NT MW-induced changes of physicochemical properties of cell aqua medium modulate cell hydration, the effects of intraperitoneal (IP) injection of PS treated by NT MW on brain tissue hydration, 45 Ca 2+ uptake, [ 3 H]-ouabain binding with cell membrane and intracellular cyclic nucleotides have been studied. The obtained data indicate that PS treated by NT MW through the activation of high affinity ouabain receptors in membrane stimulates cAMP-dependent Na + /Ca 2+ exchange in reverse mode (R), which leads to brain tissue hydration in healthy (young) and dehydration in non-healthy (old) rats. As NT MW radiation-induced activation of R Na + /Ca 2+ exchange leads to the increase of intracellular Ca 2+ ([Ca 2+ ] i), it is considered as a potential factor leading to the brain functional impairment, especially when brain metabolic activity is depressed (e.g. during aging).

Development and performance of auditing required management and the control panel to insure consistency of financial solutions with established targets, achievement of goals as also the legal compliance. Yet, in spite all this, India loses billions of dollars to fraud each year. Since the peak body of auditors does not take the responsibility of fraud, there is need of a new milestone in the maturation of the auditing function called Forensic Auditing. This can assist an entity improve the bottom line without manipulating the financial statements. Preventive health checkup of finances to identify frauds is the demand of the hour. Forensic auditing principles carry the ability to demystify the financial uncertainties coming in the direction of organizations goals and aims, thereby making them a competitive edge over others. The researcher will attempt to integrate views of listeners and employees on this topic. The aim of this paper is to give a new relevance to auditing by going beyond numbers and to build a transparent corporate culture by incorporating forensic accounting principles therein.
