Objectives: To establish whether there is an association between adherence to treatment and the patient's language.Design: The article presents an analytical cross-sectional design.Data Sources: The study used the 2019 Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES) in 33,760 homes throughout Peru, carried out by the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI). Due to the nature of our population, a sample size calculation was performed using the frequency of the expected outcome.Review Methods: A bibliography search was carried out in PUBMED, GoogleSchoolar, and Redalyc.Results: In the regression analysis, we observed that in the crude model the risk of having non-adherence to treatment in people with a native mother tongue was 1.607, the risk of older adults with a mother tongue Spanish. Regarding the model adjusted by the epidemiological model, the prevalence of risk was 1.60; this association was shown to be statistically significant.Conclusion: If the patient presents a language different from that of the treating physician, it is more likely that the treatment will be missed.

Industrial applications of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) are increasing because of their unique features, such as their widespread use in cosmetics as well as sun screens. The potential harmful effects of ZnO-NPs need to be investigated further. The purpose of this research is to examine the prophylactic effect of garlic oil on some hematological parameters altered by zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) of adult male rats. This experiment was conducted on thirty-six male rats fall into 4 packs of six animals each. CON is the control group of healthy rats. ZnO-NPs group received 200 mg/kg zinc oxide nanoparticles, while the ZnO-NPs +GO group intoxicated rats received 100 ml/kg garlic oil, and GO group rats received only 100 ml/kg garlic oil. Study duration was 15 days. After the experimentation, rats were sacrificed and the levels of hematological parameters were evaluated, which included erythrocytes count, hemoglobin level, leukocytes count, and platelet count. The results of this study showed that zinc oxide led to significant changes in blood parameters, and when combined with garlic oil, hematological toxicity was improved. In conclusion, the hematological toxicity of ZnO-NPs was noticeable; however, the use of doses of garlic oil reduced this toxic effect.

Life of a health care worker is very different compared with any other professional. This is distinct not from the perspective of an overwhelming level of personal and professional accomplishment, but from the huge amount of psychological stress and anxiety involved in it. Earlier studies show that health workers, particularly medical practitioners, are vulnerable to mental health developments. Furthermore, workplace stress has been related to emotional exhaustion, which can result in a lack of enthusiasm for work, feelings of powerlessness, depression, and defeat. Emotional factors inherent to the job, responsibilities related to patient needs, feeling of being overburdened, organizational responsibilities, and issues related to working relationships and career growth are commonly identified as occupational stressors among medical professionals. Emotional fatigue is commonly referred to as burnout among professionals. The present paper is an initiative to understand the various dynamics of work life balance during pandemic and to undertake the empirical study on the topic. In this regard, the authors undertook the secondary sources for preparing the paper. The present initiative will be a value addition to the existing literature.

Aromatic herbs have special applications in pharmacy and cosmetics due to their secondary and medicinal compounds. For this reason, aromatic plants are especially suitable for multifunctional sustainable crop models. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate of chemical compounds of essential oils in different organs of Satureja rechingeri belongs to Asteraceae family. The plant was collected and then dried in the shade for a month at room temperature. Essential oils were extracted by hydro distillation and were analyzed by GC-MS apparatus. The results of this study showed that the different organs can be effective in main compounds of essential oils. Antioxidant efficacy of extract and essential oil of S. rechingeri was determined by DPPH method. The most important compound identified in of S. rechingeri essential oil was carvacrol, which was found to be 83.90%, 81.11% and 95.70% in the leaves, flowers and stems of this plant, respectively. The results of the present study showed the antioxidant activity of methanolic extract of the plant. This is probably due to the presence of flavonoid and polyphenolic compounds. Satureja essential oil showed moderate antioxidant activity of S. rechingeri extract had stronger antioxidant effects compared with its essential oil. Therefore, S. rechingeri extract can be useful in food hygiene and medicine.

Deficiency and insufficiency of 25(OH)D in thalassemia patients are still high even in countries with abundant sun exposure or with vitamin D supplementation. Long term routine blood transfusions in thalassemia patients cause iron overload which is characterized by increase in serum ferritin levels. Liver damage due to iron overload is thought to disrupt synthesis of 25(OH)D in the liver. This study aimed to determine the association between serum ferritin levels and 25(OH)D levels in adult patients with transfusion dependent thalassemia. This was a cross-sectional observational analytic study. The blood sample were collected from adult patients with transfusion dependent thalassemia to measure the levels of serum ferritin using the electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) method and 25(OH)D levels using the chemiluminescence microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) method. There were 45 subjects, 24 males and 21 females with median age of 23 years; duration of transfusions was 16.3 ± 6.2 years. 23 subjects used deferasirox and 22 subjects used deferiprone iron chelator. The median of serum ferritin levels was 4,467 ng/mL and the mean of 25(OH)D levels was 12.69 ± 4.84 ng/mL. There was significantly negative association between serum ferritin levels and 25(OH)D levels (r = - 0.41, p = 0.003). In this study, significantly negative association was found between serum ferritin levels and 25(OH)D levels. High serum ferritin levels may decrease 25(OH)D levels in adult patients with transfusion dependent thalassemia.
即使在阳光充足或补充维生素D的国家，地中海贫血患者25(OH)D缺乏和不足的情况仍然很高。地中海贫血患者长期常规输血导致铁超载，其特征是血清铁蛋白水平升高。铁超载引起的肝损伤被认为会破坏肝脏中25(OH)D的合成。本研究旨在确定输血依赖型地中海贫血成年患者血清铁蛋白水平与25(OH)D水平之间的关系。这是一项横断面观察性分析研究。采用电化学发光免疫分析法(ECLIA)和化学发光微粒免疫分析法(CMIA)分别测定输血依赖性地中海贫血成人患者血清铁蛋白水平和25(OH)D水平。受试者45例，男24例，女21例，中位年龄23岁;输血时间16.3±6.2年。23例使用去铁胺，22例使用去铁螯合剂。血清铁蛋白水平中位数为4467 ng/mL, 25(OH)D水平平均值为12.69±4.84 ng/mL。血清铁蛋白水平与25(OH)D水平呈显著负相关(r = - 0.41, p = 0.003)。本研究发现血清铁蛋白水平与25(OH)D水平呈显著负相关。高血清铁蛋白水平可降低输血依赖型地中海贫血成年患者25(OH)D水平。

Veterinary chemicals are pharmaceuticals or treatments that are used in cattle to treat or prevent disease, injury, and pests. Livestock survival and productivity would be severely reduced without veterinary drugs, especially for intensively maintained animals like pigs and poultry. Infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis is a bacterial eye illness of cattle, and there is limited knowledge on the study of bacterium pathogen-contaminated eyes of animals in Basra province. As a result, the purpose of this research was to isolate and classify some bacterial species associated with infection in cattle with keratoconjunctivitis. This study included examination of 120 eye swabs from cows from different regions in the Basra governorate. The current study was carried out from October 2018 to February 2019. Out of 120 cases involved in this study, 30 cases were identified to have keratoconjunctivitis. The results of the study showed that eye infections in cows were mostly unilateral, in one eye (69%), and less than bilateral infections in both eyes (30.9%). Twenty different bacterial isolates were obtained, and the isolated bacteria were identified genetically by 16S rDNA and sequencing as Escherichia coli 40%, Bacillus subtilis 10%, Enterobacter cancer genus 10%, Enterobacter hormaechei 10%, Enterobacter cloacae 15%, and Klebsiella pneumonia 15%.

Leachate is a major problem created from municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills and is considered the worst source of surface water and groundwater pollution. Kwashe industrial area as one of the most fast developing and polluted industrial area in Kurdistan region with many factories has a large solid waste separation factory that receives approximately 900 tons of municipal solid waste, out of which about 50% is organic kitchen waste. Samples of leachate were randomly collected from different sites downward drain of landfill and treated by aeration and filtration processes over a month. The results revealed that the soil was affected highly by soluble salts like Na and K from landfill; consequently, the electrical conductivity was 6.37(ds/m), 6 folds greater than the acceptable ranges. The primary treatment of landfill leachate by aeration and filtration reduced all heavy metals to acceptable ranges except Fe and Al, which remained relatively high over allowable ranges because the behavior and reaction of heavy metals in leachates is complicated as many acids are formed during the acidogensis of organic waste biodegradation that increases the solubility of these cationic heavy metals. The extractable forms of calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, sodium, and lithium are within acceptable ranges, which indicated not being enough to cause a threat in deteriorating soil and environmental chemistry. The results also showed that there was a close correlation between landfill leachate content of heavy metals and soil content affected by this leachate of Zn, Fe, Cu, Al, and Co at (P ≤ 0.01), but the soil downward landfill leachate fortunately did not reach the hazardous limits of their content in heavy metals and also did not exceed the standard ranges in soil.

The present study was a cross-sectional investigation carried out on elderly patients under chronic hemodialysis who referred to Firoozabadi Hospital during 2019- 2020. The study population was 80 patients ≥ 60 years. The patients’ cognitive status was determined using MMSE and MOCA tools. The mean age of the candidate patients was 71.71 ± 6.28 years old. Cognitive function was assessed by MMSE and MoCA tests and the mean score of the MMSE test was 20.05 ± 3.50 with the highest score being 26 and the lowest score being 12. Based on the results, these patients were divided into three groups with normal cognitive function, mild cognitive impairment, and severe cognitive impairment. According to the results of the MMSE test, 19 patients (23.75%) had a normal cognitive function and 45 patients (56.25%) had impairment. In other words, the older patients, the lower level of education, the longer duration of hemodialysis, and the patients with a history of diabetes were more susceptible to cognitive impairment. Subsequently, there was a positive correlation between the levels of BUN, creatinine, uric acid, and PTH, which means that the higher level of these variables in patients was related to the higher risk of cognitive impairment. The findings of the present investigation revealed that the cognitive function and the studied variables including age, level of education, history of diabetes, hemodialysis duration, BUN, Creatinine, Uric Acid, PTH, Sodium, and Kt/V had a significant difference in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

In this paper, two copper(II) complexes based on maleic acid ligand, namely [Cu(MA)2(H2O)2] (1) and [-{(H2O)4Cu2}(μ-MA)]n (2) have been synthesized from the reaction of CuCl2 and maleic acid in aqueous solution and characterized by CHN, FT-IR, XRD and TGA. In addition, from the calcination of theses complexes at 600 °C for 3 h in air atmosphere, CuO particles were prepared and characterized by FT-IR, XRD and SEM. Furthermore, antibacterial activity of them were tested against two Gram-positive (S. aureus and B. cereus) and two Gram-negative (E. coli and P. aeruginosa) strains. Results shows that the complexes 1 and 2 exhibit enhanced antibacterial activity than CuO particles.
