This research aimed to identify the role of parental support in reducing suicide rates among female patients aged 18 to 25 with borderline personality disorder. The study was cross-sectional and correlational. The research population comprised all individuals with borderline personality disorder who visited specialized psychiatric clinics across Tehran in the year 2023, totaling 218 individuals. Using convenience sampling, 200 individuals were selected as the sample and responded to research instruments, including the Family Functioning Questionnaire (Epstein et al., 1980) and the Suicide Ideation Questionnaire (Beck et al., 1979). Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient tests, and multiple regression analysis via SPSS-v26. Findings indicated a significant negative correlation between family functioning and suicidal behavior among individuals with borderline personality disorder (r = -0.545, p < 0.002). Furthermore, regression analysis revealed that among the family functioning components, problem-solving skills (β = -0.209, p < 0.05) had the highest explanatory power for suicidal behavior in patients with borderline personality disorder. In contrast, roles (β = -0.060, p < 0.05) had the lowest explanatory power. According to the research findings, focusing on the precursors of suicidal behavior is crucial in healthcare facilities to improve overall well-being and mitigate risky behaviors among individuals with borderline personality disorder.

Antimicrobial resistance is an international concern and creates critical health issues for both humans and animals. This research aimed to ascertain the prevalence of isolates, antibiotic, and disinfectant resistance patterns from omphalitis suspected chicks in Dinajpur, Bangladesh. A total of 24 yolk swab samples were collected from different hatcheries for microbiological analysis and antibiotic sensitivity tests. The PCR employing 16s and 23s RNA genes was conducted to detect Escherichia coli and invA genes were used to detect Salmonella spp. and 23S rRNA genes were applied for Staphylococcus spp. A total of 35 isolates were identified where 14 (40%) E.coli, 10 (28.58%) Salmonella spp., and 11 (31.42%) Staphylococcus spp. from day 1-8, respectively. The largest amount of bacteria on day 5, including day 7 (20%), followed by days 3, 4, and 6, including 6 (17.14%) observed, respectively. The PCR band of E. coli was detected at 232 bp, Salmonella spp. 284 bp and Staphylococcus spp. 1267 bp respectively. E. coli was highly resistant to Amoxicillin (100%), followed by Tetracycline (83.33%), whereas highly sensitive to cefotaxime (100%), Gentamicin and Co-trimoxazole (83.33%). Salmonella spp. indicates high susceptibility to Cefotaxime, Co-trimoxazole, and Ceftazidime (83.33%), followed by Gentamicin (66.67%) respectively, whereas Staphylococcus spp. was found to be highly resistant to Methicillin (100%) and Ampicillin (100%) followed by Gentamicin and Tetracycline (83.33%) respectively. The MAR index calculation of isolated E. coli, Salmonella spp., and Staphylococcus spp. from different sources of poultry hatcheries was measured at 0.77, 0.79, and 0.77, which affect the newly hatched chicks in poultry industries. Therefore, an urgent surveillance program is needed to fight antimicrobial resistance in poultry production sectors in Bangladesh.

The study was conducted to evaluate the nutritional status of unconventional feed resources (UCFR) available in the Chattogram district. Unconventional feed resources refer to all those feeds that have not been traditionally used in another feeding and or are not normally used in commercially produced rations for livestock and poultry. A total of four tree leaves namely Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus), Mango (Mangifera indica), Banyan (Ficus benghalensis), and Mandar (Erythrina fusca) were considered for proximate analysis in the Animal Nutrition Laboratory, Department of Animal Science and Nutrition, Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Bangladesh. The laboratory analysis was performed according to the standard analytical procedure of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC). The results indicated that the highest Dry mater (DM %) was in Jackfruits leaves whereas the lowest Dry matter (DM %) was in Mandar leaves. The highest Moisture % was in Mandar leaves whereas the lowest Moisture % was in Jackfruits leaves. The highest Crude protein (CP %) was in Mandar leaves whereas the lowest Crude protein (CP %) was in Mango leaves. The highest Crude fiber (CF %) was in Mandar leaves whereas the lowest Crude fiber (CF %) was in Banyan leaves. The highest Ether extract (EE%) was in Mango leaves whereas the lowest Ether extract (EE%) was in Jackfruit leaves and the highest Total Ash (TA%) was in Banyan leaves whereas the lowest Total Ash (TA%) was in Mandar leaves. In conclusion, the nutritional status of all tree leaves showed a higher Crude protein, Crude fiber, Ether extract, and Total Ash content. Therefore, these tree leaves can be used as a potential source of nutrients in livestock and poultry feed as well.

Society is formed through human interaction. Additionally, we are currently in the era of computers and technology. Physical games are losing their value in this modern age, and digital games fill the gap. As Bangladesh is a developing country, modernization touched it many years ago. The digital game is also famous here, and community-based works areas are also seen in this country; our research area is Bangladesh as it fulfilled all the requirements. Nowadays digital games are so famous in our country. So doing this work isn't a big deal, even if we ran into some issues. The majority of the young population is addicted to this type of digital game and spends hours and hours playing it. So social and family bonding is losing its value. Social interaction is crucial for individuals; however, excessive engagement of the younger generation in virtual environments hinders their ability to effectively interact with others in society, including their own families. We cannot see the previous cultural activity in society because of digital gaming. To fulfill the purpose of the research, we had many problems. It is difficult for us to get data from 150 internet gamers. We gather data through a Google form. For our research, not only the gamers but also their family members and his/her surroundings people's opinion matters. So, we collected the statements from their family members, their friend's other society members. The survey revealed a significant increase in gaming addiction, leading to strong preoccupation that hinders communication with family members, and participation in social activities, and potentially contributes to an increase in criminal behavior.

In the dairy industry milk is the most valuable product. The market value of milk depends on the amount of yield and content of fat in milk. Breed or genetic factors are mostly correlated with the production rate and fat content in milk. For example, Jersey breed cattle have the highest fat and protein percentage in milk than other breeds. But the quality of milk also depends on other dietary factors such as crude fiber and crude protein content of the diet. Fermentation of crude fiber in the rumen produces large amounts of acetic acid and butyric acid which act as a derivative of milk fat. Milk protein concentration depends on the crude protein level in the diet. In this study milk and feed samples were collected from eight dairy farms at Chattogram Metropolitan Area to investigate the dietary effect on milk composition. The highest fat, SNF percentage, and protein percentage of the milk sample were founded in the case of the Munna dairy farm in which the crude fiber level and crude protein level of the feed sample were higher than other dairy farms. The lowest fat, SNF percentage, and protein percentage of the milk sample were founded in the case of the Moinuddin dairy farm in which the crude fiber level of the feed sample was lowest but the level of crude protein in the feed sample was near to Munna dairy farm. A better amount of crude protein in the feed sample was founded in the case of the Moinuddin dairy farm. But due to mastitis and a poor management system, the protein content of milk in this farm was poor.

The present research was conducted for molecular characterization of important zoonotic bacteria isolated from different samples in ostrich and also determined their antimicrobial activity. For this current research, 32 samples were randomly collected from 8 ostriches at different ages, of which 8 were oropharyngeal, 8 were cloacal swabs, 8 were environmental sand samples, and 8 were feces samples. In addition, the bacteria were isolated and identified by using standard microbiological methods, including cultural, biochemical and molecular techniques. 16S rRNA gene was used to detect Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. molecularly. The Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method was used to determine the antibiotic sensitivity test. Out of 32 samples, E. coli 8 (53.33%) and Salmonella spp. 7 (46.67%) were identified in young ostrich, while in adult ostrich, E. coli 2 (40%) and Salmonella spp. 3 (60%) were detected. According to our study, E. coli was the most predominant isolate found in cloacal swabs and ostrich feces. Escherichia coli were most sensitive to Amoxicillin and Azithromycin (100%), followed by Kanamycin, Chloramphenicol and Gentamicin (75%), while 100% resistant to Piperacillin, Bacitracin, Tetracycline, Cloxacillin, Novobiocin, Cefixime. Salmonella spp. was 100% sensitive to Azithromycin and also 100% resistant to Tetracycline, Piperacillin, Bacitracin, Chloramphenicol and Methicillin. Our research concluded that E. coli and Salmonella spp. are multi-drug resistant bacteria, and appropriate antibiotics should be used in ostrich farms to protect the multi-drug resistant bacteria. We suggest farm owners increase public awareness about zoonotic diseases and those working on ostrich farms.

The most frequent fracture of a long bone is a tibial fracture. Anatomical reduction and rigid fixing may arise from open reduction and plating. To assess and contrast the outcomes of medial and lateral locking compression plates for fractures in the distal part of the tibia. 32 patients with distal tibial fractures were enrolled in the prospective clinical study from November 22, 2019, to November 12, 2020, at Nangarhar University and Public Health Hospital. With a mean age of 34.57 years, 26 closed fractures, and 6 open fractures. Based on the manner of therapy, 32 patients were split into two groups, with the medial plating group (16) included (16 patients) and the lateral plating group. After being released, they were monitored for at least 5 months. The clinical assessment criteria developed by Tinny and Wiss were used to evaluate the functional outcomes. Malunion arose in two cases of the medial plating group and two cases of the lateral plating group as a result.4 cases of superficial and 2 cases of deep infections, 1 nonunion, and 2 wound dehiscence were found in the medial plating group. There were two cases of superficial and one case of deep infection as well as two nonunion in the group3 cases that were classified as excellent-1, good-7, fair-8, and poor. In the lateral plating group, the scores were Excellent 2, good 6, fair 7, and poor 1 respectively. Ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion ultimate ranges of motion in the medial plating group were 18.2° and 29.5°, respectively. The end range of motion for the lateral plating group was 20° for ankle dorsiflexion and 33.2° for ankle plantar flexion. Finally, it is safe and practical to plat the distal tibia laterally, which can provide biological fixation and avoid soft tissue complications.

The most prevalent health hazards in the world’s population are chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The most serious public health issue is knee osteoarthritis, which is caused by aging. It is described as a degenerative joint disease that develops through wear and strain, leading to a continuous decline in articular cartilage, functional limitations, impairment, and eventually a reduction in a person's standard of lifestyle. Around ten percent of people older than 60 frequently are unhappy of this medical condition. While 37 percent of Americans aged 60 or older have osteoarthritis of the knee that has been identified. The rate of knee joint osteoarthritis is predicted to increase near forty percent by 2025 as a result of the growth of the worldwide population. Gender, age, trauma, excessive use, hereditary disorders, and other variables all contribute to the issue getting worsened. In terms of functional ability, discomfort, and functional constraint, the study found that participants with knee osteoarthritis had a poor standard of life. Additionally, a direct correlation between the low quality of life and the academic level was discovered. It has been shown that persons with low levels of schooling participate in more physical activities and have greater effects related to this. Disability results from the illness's worsening effects on life expectancy.

Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is an economically important transboundary viral infection of cloven-hoofed animals caused by foot and mouth disease virus belonging to the genus Aphthovirus & family Picornaviridae. It is a well-customary endemic infection globally since it was first time isolated in 1957. Ten (10) years (January 2011-December 2020) retrospective study was a shepherd with key objectives of recognizing the spatial & temporal distribution and forecasting the future patterns of FMD explosions in West Hararghe Zone (WHZ) of Eastern Ethiopia using data from outbreak reports obtained from Hirna Regional Veterinary Laboratory. Totality 45 FMD upsurges were noted to occur in WHZ between 2011 and 2020 with a mean & median of 4.5 & 3.5 upsurges every year, respectively. In that period, the FMD outbreak was noted at least once in each district of the Zone. The average prevalence of FMD explosions in the district area was 1.12 district year. The prevalence differed among districts, the lowest being in Anchar (0.68/10 district year) & highest in Chiro town (1.77/10 district year) and The long-period tendency of FMD explosions indicated a statistically significant increase over 10 years period (p<0.001). The level of the outbreak reached its peak in March & the low in June to August. The existence of FMD explosion was got to be seasonal whereby the levels of upsurges were relatively high during the hot season. The spatial & temporal disposition identified in this work showed those risky areas that are prone to the contingency of FMD upsurges & the time period in which they predominantly occur. The unregulated & frequent cattle movements could have been the likely basis of the increased level of upsurge contingency during the hot season. Therefore, animal movement biosafety regulations should be taken for the long-time benchmark of FMD in WHZ.
口蹄疫(Foot and mouth disease, FMD)是由口蹄疫属小核糖核酸科口蹄疫病毒引起的一种具有重要经济意义的跨界偶蹄动物病毒感染。自1957年首次分离以来，这是一种全球常见的地方性感染。十(10)年(2011年1月- 2020年12月)回顾性研究的主要目标是利用从Hirna地区兽医实验室获得的疫情报告数据，识别埃塞俄比亚东部西哈拉尔河地区(WHZ)口蹄疫暴发的时空分布并预测未来模式。在2011年至2020年期间，西港岛区共发生45次口蹄疫上升，平均和中位数分别为每年4.5次和3.5次上升。在此期间，疫区每个县至少发现一次口蹄疫疫情。全区口蹄疫爆炸平均流行率为1.12个区年。各区患病率差异较大，安察尔最低(0.68/10区年)，千罗镇最高(1.77/10区年)，10年期间口蹄疫暴发的长期趋势有统计学意义(p<0.001)。疫情水平在3月达到高峰，在6月至8月达到最低点。口蹄疫爆发的存在是季节性的，在炎热季节上升的水平相对较高。在这项工作中确定的空间和时间配置显示了容易发生口蹄疫突发事件的危险区域和它们主要发生的时间段。不受管制和频繁的牛只活动可能是炎热季节期间疫情突发程度增加的原因。因此，动物运动生物安全法规应作为西区口蹄疫防治的长期基准。
