Family support for leprosy patients in the Working Area of Puskesmas Elly Uyo is low. In the early days the patient suffered from leprosy, there was absolutely no family support for 2 to 4 months. The concept of leprosy in the working area of Puskesmas Elly Uyo is still low; they often isolate themselves from the community as well as to the family. Every month the puskesmas collect lepers to be given medicine and counseling, but only about 10 lepers come. Based on this background, researchers want to know the relationship of family support to the concept of self-leper. This study aims to find out the relationship between family support and the concept of self-leper in the working area of Puskesmas Elly Uyo. This research is a quantitative correlational research with cross sectional approach. The research population is leprosy patients in Puskesmas Elly Uyo Ardipura Village as many as 60 people. Research instrument was in the form of questionnaires. Data analysis techniques are using Chi Square test.

Most recent NIH studies and CDC publication were able to estimate the vaccine efficacy variation overtime, and to remove the previous vail of ultimate and absolute protection against SARS-CoV-2, known as COVID-19 with respect to delta variant, propagated in the USA. The statistical data shows clear that Vaccines as Pfizer ad Moderna works, in spite their efficacies are decreasing with about 5%/month, are still able to protect in a more complex manner than masks and nano-engineered aerodynamics based protection measures. If these measures are referring to preventing inhalation of any hazardous material, no matter the type of viruses, the vaccine is dealing with the effects of virus inside the body after the intake took place. These vaccines were considered an ultimate protection and praised as such, as being in fact big pharma business, easy to be understood by masses with a real nature hazard mitigation IQ level much lower than the one made at national level based on the actual IQ tests customized to keep happy Caucasians, but fit well on Pacific Rim Asians. The problem with engineered protection is that one needs a smart population, cooperating synergistically, and be knowledgeable on when and how to use the protection in order to stop pandemic, insulate aggressor virus, create a vaccine and terminate the hazard. The current US practice is dominated by high-level mis-information and politicization of pandemic, where the actual spike in delta variant is due to CDC suppression of masks, without reaching a heard immunity, praising and enforcing vaccination aggravated by the incompetence of conservatives, who do not understand that a sick or dead person cannot enjoy constitutional freedoms, and do not distinguish between a life threat and a right, simply opposing to government without coming with alternate measures, having a disastrous effect on US population which with only 4% of world’s population delivered more than 25% of world’s causalities. The current milestone of 610,000 deaths and 40 million infected made the world leery about US exceptionalism and its planetary leadership.

Objectives: Access to care and poverty have been associated with a higher risk of breast cancer, but their impact on breast cancer death has not been fully evaluated. We hypothesized that analysis of data from a large database would further elucidate the association between socioeconomic status and breast cancer mortality. Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was used to identify cases of invasive ductal carcinoma diagnosed between 2006-2011, as well as data reflecting the presence or absence of a breast cancer death within five years. Two age groups, 40-64 year old women, and 65+ year old women, were analyzed. From the American Community Survey were acquired annual county level hospital rates, ambulatory care facility rates, nursing/residential care facility rates, rural business rates, population densities, and counts of women in the age groups of interest. Results: With respect to poverty rates, incidence based mortality rates for 40-64 year old women were 13% (99% CI 3%, 25%) higher for counties in the third quartile and 19% (7%, 35%) higher for counties in the fourth quartile (p < 0.01) than for counties in the first quartile; counties in the second quartile did not show higher incidence mortality rates (p > 0.01). Mortality rates for 65+ year old women did not differ among poverty rate quartiles (p > 0.01 for each assessment). A 50% increase in hospitals per 100,000 persons was associated with 8% (5%, 11%) and 5% (1%, 8%) increases in mortality rates for 40-64 y and 65+ y women, respectively, likely reflecting better ascertainment of causes of death at hospitals. Impacts of differences in other rates and population density were not detected (p > 0.01 for each analysis). Conclusion: Counties with higher poverty rates have increased breast cancer mortality rates for 40-64 y women, but not for 65+ y women. Universal coverage associated with Medicare is associated with the absence of an apparent effect of poverty upon breast cancer mortality.

Responses of plants to environmental signals have been studied for a long time. These responses are exhibited in the form of morphological and physiological adaptations, and relaying the signal to environment (including other plants) through volatile organic compounds and extrinsic chemicals as well as proteins. However these signals do not correspond to the consciousness in the plants. Recent research in this field has produced evidence of non-physical signals e.g. sound and (electro) magnetic field. Plants produce such signals as well as perceive and respond to these signals. There are many novel techniques that have been used in last three-four decades to understand such signals, mostly acoustic signals. This review summarizes the old knowledge as well as recent developments in the area of generation, perception, integration and processing of acoustic signals by the plants as a response to the environment as well as to communicate among themselves. If understood fully, technological interventions and manipulations of these signals can add an extra tool for crop improvement.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a broad phrase that refers to any machine’s activity that would otherwise need human intellect.Recent technological advancements have closed the gap between human and machines, allowing computers to replicate natural human intellect and produce “artificial intelligence”. Neurosurgery has benefited the most from AI-driven technology advancements in the medical field. It’s frightening to think that a computer may be taught or self-taught how to do spine or brain surgery. Embracing this technology will allow us to provide the best possible care for our patients, and its potential role in neurosurgery is intriguing.

The objective of this work is to model the variable number of cold fronts that affect the Cuban territory in a winter season for a long series of data, to establish if the trend is significant and to see which are the main statistics of the model, to observe the impact of prediction using the number of sunspots with the help of Objective Regressive ROR modeling. In this work, the series of cold fronts per season that affect the Cuban territory was modeled in the years from the 1916-1917 seasons to the 2006-2007 seasons. There are more moderate cold fronts than any other front, on average there are more classic fronts than any other type, on average 19 fronts can be presented per season with a standard deviation of 4.8 Sunspots and they only have a significant linear correlation with sunspots. In moderate fronts, as the stains increase, the number of fronts decreases. The ROR model explains 98% of the variance with an error of 4.2 cases and depends on the fronts returned in 5 seasons, which could coincide with the ENSO event, and also depends on the number of sunspots returned in 12 years. From 1916-1917 approximately the 1952-1953 season, moderate fronts predominated, later from 1953-1954 to the end of the data, weak fronts predominate over the rest with some exceptions throughout history. No significant trend was observed in the model. It is concluded that forecasts of the number of cold fronts can be made with the variable number of sunspots.

In this paper, we formulated a mathematical model for the addiction of drug substances among students in the tertiary institutions in Nigeria. The model explains the dynamics of the use and the addiction of certain substances that are perceived as mood changing by the students in the tertiary institutions in Nigeria. The drug model will be analysed qualitatively. The basic reproductive number which is the drug addiction number of the mathematical model was determined using the next generation procedure. It was found that the drug free equilibrium point was found to be locally asymptotically stable whenever the drug addiction number is less than one and unstable otherwise. The analysis revealed that an increase in the recruitment rate of students and the rate at which the students return to the use and addiction of drugs would cause an increase in the drug addiction number. There are impacts on interaction among non-drug users and drug users in the system with time. An increase in the contact or limitation rate increases the population of drug users. It is hereby recommended that; government should intensify efforts to reduce or stop the spread of selling and purchasing of the drug substances through government policies among the students in the tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

This study was carried out to evaluate the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of bacterial isolates from dental caries patients attending the clinic at Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, Irrua, Nigeria. A total of 223 bacteria samples (Streptococcus mutans = 151; Streptococcus sobrinus = 36; Lactobacillus acidophilus = 22; Streptococcus salivarius = 10; Streptococcus mitis = 4) were collected from the patients. Antimicrobial sensitivity testing was done by single disc agar diffusion method on 24 antibiotics; selected into eight different groups of 3 according to action, community usage, and generation. The average group susceptibility of antibiotics to all bacterial isolates were 25.71%, 53.81%, 13.75%, 32.74%, 10.76%, 8.52%, 0.60% and 64.42% for group 1 to 8 respectively. Specifically, the most potent antibiotic in the different groups of antibiotics was Amoxicillin (42.60%), Unasyn (78.03%), Chloramphenicol (37.67%), Erythromycin (74.44%), Streptomycin (28.70%), Cefotaxime (18.39%), Pefloxacin (1.79%) and Clindamycin (96.41%). There was total resistance of all isolates to Cotrimoxazole, Neomycin, Ciprofloxacin, and Ofloxacin. The overall sensitivity of each isolated bacterial to the 24 antibiotics was 26.27%, 26.62%, 22.73%, 32.50%, and 28.13% for Strep. mutans, Strep. sobrinus, L. acidophilus, Strep. salivarius and Strep. mitis respectively. Considering the overall low sensitivity of dental caries isolates to the overall 24 antibiotics, there is a need for antibiotic susceptibility screening before an antibiotic prescription for the treatment of dental caries.

In fusion reactors, radioactivity can be controlled by effective material selection. Material selection is always important for efficient conversion of radioactivity to electrical energy.The selection of structural materials provides more efficient use of these structural materials with the results obtained from nuclear reactions. Low activation materials not only high in structural material performance and longer life, but also minimize related problems. Iron is an important element in fusion reactor technologies and astrophysical applications. For this reason, we obtained the theoretical cross-section values of the 54Fe(α, n)57Ni reaction in the range of 5-15 MeV (Mega electron volt) in this study. TALYS 1.8 (nuclear model code system) and NON-SMOKER (computer code) were used for theoretical calculations. Astrophysical S-factor values describing reactions at low energies were also calculated. In addition, reaction rate values were calculated with TALYS 1.8 and compared with EXFOR (experimental nuclear reaction data).

In this article, the reasons for the occurrence of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) and the effect of electrotherapy on it were discussed. Electrotherapy is a non-invasive and easy method to treat DOMS and muscle fatigue. As a result of intense and abnormal exercise, the creatine phosphokinase enzyme in the muscle increases and DOMS occur. DOMS can be treated with electrotherapy techniques such as micro-current electrotherapy. Micro-currents devices reduce the severity of DOMS symptoms by maintaining intracellular calcium homeostasis. Devices such as Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Micro-Current Electrical Therapy (MET) belong to the category of micro-currents. The number of electrotherapy sessions after the occurrence of DOMS and the frequency of electrotherapy devices are two important factors in the treatment of DOMS. TENS conducts electrical current to the body through electrodes that attach to the skin, and helping to reduce pain by releasing endorphins, a natural painkiller, and blocking the passage of pain to the brain. MET uses resonant frequencies to aid in deeper and longer treatment, increase the body’s production of natural catalysts in the healing process, and is more useful in chronic pain than TENS. Research has shown that electrotherapy has been shown to improve DOMS symptoms.
{"title":"Effects of Electrotherapy on Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)","authors":"Hosseinian Sara","doi":"10.37871/jbres1313","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.37871/jbres1313","url":null,"abstract":"In this article, the reasons for the occurrence of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) and the effect of electrotherapy on it were discussed. Electrotherapy is a non-invasive and easy method to treat DOMS and muscle fatigue. As a result of intense and abnormal exercise, the creatine phosphokinase enzyme in the muscle increases and DOMS occur. DOMS can be treated with electrotherapy techniques such as micro-current electrotherapy. Micro-currents devices reduce the severity of DOMS symptoms by maintaining intracellular calcium homeostasis. Devices such as Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Micro-Current Electrical Therapy (MET) belong to the category of micro-currents.
