Keratoconus patients at Jordan University Hospital: a descriptive study
No full textMohammed A Abu Ameerh, Rola M Al Refai, Muawya D Al BdourOphthalmology Department, Jordan University Hospital, Amman, JordanPurpose: To study a sample of keratoconus patients, who were referred to Jordan University Hospital for possible penetrating keratoplasty (PKP), and provide basic epidemiological analysis.Method: A descriptive study; we reviewed the medical records of 308 keratoconus patients referred for possible PKP. The following parameters were collected and analyzed: sex predilection, age at presentation, best corrected visual acuity, severity, bilaterality of the disease, and its association with vernal catarrh.Results: Males constituted 61.6% while females constituted 38.4% of the study group. The mean age at presentation for males and females was 19.1 and 19.9 years, respectively. The best corrected visual acuity on evaluation was ≤6/60 in 60.4% of males’ eyes and 57.9% of females’ eyes; >6/60 and <6/12 in 30% of males’ eyes and 28.5% of females’ eyes; and ≥6/12 in 9.6% of males’ eyes and 13.6% of females’ eyes. Regarding the severity, 72.3% of males’ eyes and 71.8% of females’ eyes had severe keratoconus; 17.3% of males’ and 28.2% of females’ eyes had moderate keratoconus; and 10.4% of males’ eyes had mild keratoconus, which was not recorded in females. 90.5% of male patients and 93.2% of female patients had bilateral disease and vernal catarrh was recorded in 33.7% of males and 35.6% of females.Conclusion: Keratoconus was found to be more prevalent in Jordanian males referred for PKP than females, keeping in mind that this doesn’t reflect the real sex predilection in the general population. Males also presented at a younger age. We didn’t find any association between gender and bilaterality, nor association with vernal catarrh.Keywords: Jordan, keratoconus, penetrating keratoplasty, vernal keratoconjunctiviti
The Zariski topology on the graded primary spectrum of a graded module over a graded commutative ring
No full text[EN] Let R be a G-graded ring and M be a G-graded R-module. We define the graded primary spectrum of M, denoted by PSG(M), to be the set of all graded primary submodules Q of M such that (GrM(Q) :RM) = Gr((Q:RM)). In this paper, we define a topology on PSG(M) having the Zariski topology on the graded prime spectrum SpecG(M) as a subspace topology, and investigate several topological properties of this topological space.Salam, S.; Al-Zoubi, K.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a complex comorbidity of lung cancer
No full textChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major burden throughout the world. It is associated with a significantly increased incidence of lung cancer and may influence treatment options and outcome. Impaired lung function confirming COPD is an independent risk factor for lung cancer. Oxidative stress and inflammation may be a key link between COPD and lung cancer, with numerous molecular markers being analysed to attempt to understand the pathway of lung cancer development. COPD negatively influences the ability to deliver radical treatment options, so attempts must be made to look for alternative methods of treating lung cancer, while aiming to manage the underlying COPD. Detailed assessment and management plans utilizing the multidisciplinary team must be made for all lung cancer patients with COPD to provide the best care possible.Journal of Comorbidity 2011;1(1):45–5
Fatty acid composition of pollen and the effect of two dominant fatty acids (linoleic and oleic) in pollen and flour diets on longevity and nutritional composition of honey bees (apis mellifera)
No full textThe size of the apiculture industry in Western Australia (W.A.) is one of the smallest in the nation but the production of pollen and honey per colony is the highest in Australia. The overwhelming value of the bee industry to the community is through pollination. The pollination service benefit provided by honey bees (Apis mellifera) in Australia has an estimated value of $AUS1.7 billion (1999 - 2000). The economic yields from crops, such as almonds and cucurbits, depend entirely on the activity of honey bees.
Access to flora is essential to maintain productive colonies for pollination services. Pollen and nectar from flowers provide the nutritional components for colonies of honey bees to breed, but pollen is more important as it provides the colony with its source of protein. Protein content is changed by pollen lipid content which can vary from 0.8 to 18.9 %. Lipids are composed of fatty acids and a number are highly antimicrobial and play an important role in colony hygiene, whilst others are nutritionally crucial for honey bee development.
Australian honey bee colonies utilise areas of native flora where a diversity of pollen species exist or hives are placed with agricultural crops that are based on European plants grown in monocultures, e.g. canola. Anecdotal evidence suggests that, in terms of breeding bees, some pollen species are much better than others and that bee health and longevity can be compromised if pollen is derived from single plant species. Protein analysis of pollen has been conducted on a wide range of species over the last two decades. However, lipid content and its analysis for fatty acids, which was reviewed for this thesis, have only been conducted on a few species. An initial investigation into the fatty acid composition of the pollen of W.A. eucalypts revealed the genus was characteristically high in linoleic acid concentration and ranged from 35.7 - 48 % (2.77 - 5.81 mg/g). Of the six species that are important to W.A. beekeepers, Eucalyptus wandoo (whitegum) and E. accedens (Powderbark Wandoo), a taxonomically similar species, showed similar levels of arachidic acid, whilst all three E. wandoo flowering varieties (summer, winter and spring) were the lowest in linolenic acid. Corymbia calophylla (redgum) was significantly higher in myristic and linolenic acids and E. patens (blackbutt), E. marginata (jarrah) and E. diversicolor (karri) had similar fatty acid profiles. European honey bees have evolved with plant species that have pollen that contain much higher levels of lipids, which are dominated by linolenic acid, than eucalypts. By contrast, the pollen of eucalypts, the most targeted plants by W.A. beekeepers, and other Australian plants are typically higher in linoleic than linolenic acid.
Given the influence of lipids on protein content and that fatty acid concentration varied amongst some of the important eucalypt species, a much wider study of pollen from plant species that are important to beekeepers was conducted. The first aim of the project, a national pollen survey, was undertaken in which 577 samples of pollen were collected. A total of 73 different fatty acids were identified. Of these, only five: palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic and linolenic were common to all 577 samples of pollen. The second aim of the thesis was to investigate the effect of two commonly found fatty acids in pollen and their concentration at which longevity and life-span of honey bees, and development of the hypopharyngeal gland were deleteriously affected. An associated objective was to determine whether a range of soya bean flours, the main ingredient of an artificial bee diet that can replace pollen but differs in lipid concentration, had a similar effect. The aim encompassed two projects. In the first, two fatty acids (oleic and linoleic acid) were added at concentrations from 0 to 16 % to the low-fat, bee-collected pollen from C. calophylla. Eight different lipid-enhanced diets were created and each fed to bees confined in cages (mini-colonies containing 1400 bees). Oleic and linoleic acids were chosen because they are two of the five commonly found fatty acids in pollen. Oleic acid is the dominant fatty acid in honey bees and is a monounsaturated fatty acid. Linoleic acid is a dominant fatty acid in eucalypt pollen and is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that is one of two essential fatty acids that has antimicrobial activity.
The second project revolved around the problem of maintaining bee populations when apiaries are in environments that lack floral abundance due to drought or other environmental catastrophes. In these situations, beekeepers maintain their colonies by supplying artificial feedstuffs to colonies of bees. The high-protein diet ingredient of choice is imported soya bean flour and three flours containing 0.6 % (protein concentrate), 1.8 % (defatted) and 18.9 % (full-fat) lipid, were used. Locally milled lupin flour, containing 6.9 % lipid, was tested as a possible replacement for imported soya bean flour. As for soya bean flour, lupin flour was used in pure form or mixed with pollen in diets fed to bees. Flour and pollen combinations created another ten different diets fed to bees the same way as the fatty acid-enhanced pollen diets.
Along with the 8 lipid-enhanced and 10 flour and flour-pollen diets, there were two sugar-only diets, one mixed from dry cane sugar and the other, a liquid invert sugar. Two redgum pollen-only diets concluded the suite of 22 diets tested. One of these pollen diets was crushed and irradiated and was several years old whilst the other was collected fresh at the beginning of experimentation and kept frozen. Crushed and irradiated pollen is in common use by Australian commercial beekeepers as feedback when conditions for floral abundance are adverse.
An early experimental result was an observation of distinctive bee behaviour after bees were confined in cages for six weeks where small but persistent numbers of bees were found hairless in samples. The behaviour was apparently the same as when single cohorts of emerged bees rearrange their caste repertoire, which has been reported elsewhere, but where no connection to head weight and caste type had been documented. Low head weight and hairlessness were strongly associated with each other. Low head weights are usually associated with foraging honey bees because the hypopharyngeal gland is no longer developed functionally.
Experimentally, bees were assessed for longevity to 22 different diets in 7 experiments. Laboratory analysis was conducted on the weekly samples of bees removed from cages where bees were measured for head weight (hypopharyngeal gland development) and nutritional status by analysing de-gutted bees for protein, lipid, mineral and fatty acid content. Of the 22 diets tested, pure redgum pollen diets gave the greatest life-span and those bees fed diets of pure sugar had the shortest life. Honey bees fed a low-fat protein concentrate from soya bean flour had the longest life of the flours tested. Adding pollen to soya bean flour diets improved longevity whereas the addition of pollen to lupin flour caused increased mortality. Defatted and full-fat soya bean flours gave similar longevities and, despite large differences in fat content, the response to diet of head weight was negligible to the diets and no response was elicited by the queen bee to lay eggs which also indicated failed gland development of the worker bees.
The addition of fatty acid (oleic and linoleic) to pollen at different concentrations caused significant differences in longevity. Overall, the addition of both fatty acids to pollen did not improve longevity. The addition of oleic acid to pollen greater than 2 % caused the longevity of bees to decrease, a poor head weight response and a failure of the queen to lay eggs. The addition of linoleic acid greater than 6 % to pollen diets had a similar response. As the percentage of oil was increased for both fatty acid additions, total consumption of the diet decreased.
Honey bees fed soya bean, lupin flour and sugar-only diets failed to accumulate linoleic acid in their body which was in contrast to honey bees fed pollen diets. For the sugar diet, the failure of linoleic acid accumulation in bees occurred despite bees being able to accumulate total lipid. Manganese was poorly accumulated by honey bees fed both soya bean and lupin flour diets and a sugar-only diet. The implication is that linoleic acid and manganese need to be added separately to dietary formulations in a form as yet to be determined that will enable honey bees to accumulate these elements in the same way as bees do from consuming pollen.
Soya bean flour-based diets, which have been used by beekeepers for decades, or lupin flour require additional amounts of linoleic acid and manganese. Similarly, this might apply to sugar. Sugar can be fed to bees in great quantities to enable bees to successfully over-winter in cold climates or it can allow breeding to commence which subsequently stimulates the collection of pollen. Sugar-feeding is widely promoted for orchard pollination, especially for kiwifruit. These changes could make these dietary ingredients more effective in enabling bees to breed between nectar flows and be more productive or nutritionally healthier, but any changes would require further cage experimentation. Bee-collected pollen naturally high in concentrations of oleic acid should also be tested in longevity trials, in conjunction with pollen that is low in oleic acid. The three untested common fatty acids (stearic, palmitic and linolenic acid) should also be evaluated for honey bee longevity and nutritional status

Predictive effectiveness of the Framingham and PROCAM scales for establishing cardiovascular risk in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, in third level care institutions
No full textLos pacientes con lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES) presentan factores de riesgos intrínsecos de la enfermedad, como la aterogénesis acelerada y el estado proinflamatorio crónico. En Colombia, las escalas Framingham y PROCAM se encuentran validadas para la prediccion de riesgo cardiovascular, no incluyen variables del LES.
Objetivo: establecer la efectividad predictiva de las escalas de Framingham y PROCAM para el establecimiento de riesgo cardiovascular en pacientes con LES.
Metodologia: estudio de cohorte retrospectivo, multicéntrico, basado en registros disponibles entre 2010 y 2023, de pacientes s con LES atendidos en instituciones de tercer nivel de atención de la ciudad de Barranquilla. Se considero como cohorte expuesta, pacientes con puntaje riesgo cardiovascular mayor al 20% en la escalas Framingham y PROCAM.
Resultados: . Durante los años de estudio registraron 42 casos de MACE, el hábito tabáquico, niveles elevados de colesterol (promedio LDL, 99,5 ± 40,9 mg/dL) y complemento disminuido tuvieron significancia estadística con su aparición. Los pacientes con MACE, fueron clasificados en su predominio como bajo riesgo (menor de 10%) según las escalas predictivas. La escala predictiva Framingham, mostro sensibilidad del 14%, especificidad del 87%, valor predictivo positivo (VPP) de 31%, valor predictivo negativo (VPN) del 71%, con AUC de 0.554. La escala predictiva PROCAM mostro una sensibilidad del 12%, especificidad del 90%, VPP 33%, VPN 71%, AUC de 0.593.
Conclusión: se demostró una baja sensibilidad, valor predictivo positivo y AUC bajas, con modesto valor predictivo negativo y aceptable especificidad de las escalas predictivas Framingham y PROCAM en el cribaje de riesgo cardiovascular.Universidad Libre Seccional Barranquilla -- Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud -- Especialización en Medicina InternaPatients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) present intrinsic risk factors for the disease, such as accelerated atherogenesis and a chronic proinflammatory state. In Colombia, the Framingham and PROCAM scales are validated for the prediction of cardiovascular risk; they do not include SLE variables.
Objective: to establish the predictive effectiveness of the Framingham and PROCAM scales for establishing cardiovascular risk in patients with SLE.
Methodology: retrospective, multicenter cohort study, based on records available between 2010 and 2023, of patients with SLE treated in tertiary care institutions in the city of Barranquilla. The exposed cohort was considered to be patients with a cardiovascular risk score greater than 20% on the Framingham and PROCAM scales.
Results: . During the study years, 42 cases of MACE were recorded; smoking, high cholesterol levels (average LDL, 99.5 ± 40.9 mg/dL) and decreased complement had statistical significance with its appearance. Patients with MACE were predominantly classified as low risk (less than 10%) according to predictive scales. The Framingham predictive scale showed sensitivity of 14%, specificity of 87%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 31%, negative predictive value (NPV) of 71%, with AUC of 0.554. The PROCAM predictive scale showed a sensitivity of 12%, specificity of 90%, PPV 33%, NPV 71%, AUC of 0.593.
Conclusion: low sensitivity, positive predictive value and low AUC were demonstrated, with modest negative predictive value and acceptable specificity of the Framingham and PROCAM predictive scales in cardiovascular risk screening
Prevalencia de enfermedad periodontal en historias clínicas de pacientes con tratamientos de prótesis parcial fija atendidos en la clínica integral del adulto IV desde febrero de 2013 a diciembre 2017
No full textIntroducción: El presente estudio analizó la prevalencia de enfermedad periodontal en historias clínicas de pacientes tratados con prótesis parcial fija y coronas protésicas atendidos en la clínica Integral del Adulto IV de febrero de 2013 a diciembre 2017 de la Universidad Santo Tomás. Objetivo: estimar la prevalencia de enfermedad periodontal en historias clínicas de pacientes con tratamientos de prótesis parcial fija atendidos en la Clínica Integral del Adulto IV de desde febrero de 2013 a diciembre 2017 en la Universidad Santo Tomás. Metodología: se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo de corte transversal que permitió observar y estimar la prevalencia de enfermedad periodontal. En los criterios de inclusión se tuvieron en cuenta historias clínicas de pacientes con antecedentes de enfermedad periodontal previamente tratada rehabilitados con prótesis fija o coronas unitarias. Para el análisis estadístico se calcularon frecuencias y proporciones para las variables cualitativas y medidas de tendencia central y dispersión para las cuantitativas. En el bivariado, se emplearon la prueba Shapiro Wilk para evaluar distribución de las variables cuantitativas, Chi cuadrado o test exacto de Fischer para variables cualitativas. Resultados: de las 761 historias clínicas revisadas, 578 cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión. Existió mayor prevalencia de pacientes en el género femenino, 399 (69,1%) con una edad promedio de los participantes de 44,5 ± 12,0 años con una mediana de 45 años y un rango entre 18 a 85 años. En el análisis univariado de los datos se observó mayor prevalencia de sangrado al sondaje localizado en dientes pilares 336 (58,2%), 96 (16,6%) dientes pilares presentaban bolsas periodontales localizadas, 129 (37,8%) deformidad mucogingival localizada tipo recesión, 159 (27,5%) gingivitis asociada a placa bacteriana localizada en dientes pilares y 27 (4,6%) periodontitis crónica severa localizada. En el análisis bivariado se encontró que en la enfermedad periodontal localizada respecto a la edad la mayor prevalencia fue la gingivitis asociada a placa bacteriana en el grupo de edad menor o igual a 45 años de 97 (61,0%) y la de menor valor fue la periodontitis crónica severa 8 (29,6%). En el grupo de mayor a 45 años fue la gingivitis asociada a placa bacteriana en un periodonto disminuido 66 (61,6) y periodontitis crónica leve 5 (33,3) siendo el menor resultado. Se mostró que la enfermedad más prevalente respecto a la enfermedad periodontal localizada y generalizada fue la gingivitis asociada a placa bacteriana localizada y la periodontitis crónica moderada. Conclusiones: la mayor prevalencia de enfermedad periodontal en dientes pilares rehabilitados con prótesis parcial fija y corona unitaria y en relación a la ausencia de enfermedad 24,2% en diente pilar, corresponde un 27,5% a gingivitis asociada a placa bacteriana,18,5 % en un periodonto disminuido y 13,5% a deformidad mucogingival tipo recesión. También se observó que 16,2 % de los dientes presentaron bolsas periodontales, correspondiendo un 9 %, 4,6 % y 2,6% a la periodontitis crónica moderada con nivel de inserción de 3.4 mm, periodontitis crónica severa con nivel de inserción mayor de 5 mm y periodontitis crónica leve con nivel de inserción de 1-2 mm respectivamente.Introduction: This study analyzed the prevalence of periodontal disease in clinical histories of patients treated with fixed partial dentures and prosthetic crowns treated in the Integral Adult Clinic IV from February 2013 to December 2017 at the University of Santo Tomás. Objective: to estimate the prevalence of periodontal disease in clinical histories of patients with fixed partial denture treatments treated at the Integral Adult Clinic IV from February 2013 to December 2017 at the Santo Tomás University. Methodology: a cross-sectional descriptive observational study was carried out that allowed to observe and estimate the prevalence of periodontal disease. In the inclusion criteria, clinical histories of patients with a history of previously treated periodontal disease rehabilitated with fixed prostheses or unit crowns were taken into account. For the statistical analysis, frequencies and proportions were calculated for the qualitative variables and measures of central tendency and dispersion for the quantitative ones. In the bivariate, the Shapiro Wilk test was used to evaluate the distribution of quantitative variables, Chi square or Fischer exact test for qualitative variables. Results: Of the 761 medical records reviewed, 578 met the inclusion criteria. There was a higher prevalence of patients in the female gender, 399 (69.1%) with an average age of the participants of 44.5 ± 12.0 years with a median of 45 years and a range between 18 to 85 years. In the univariate analysis of the data, a greater prevalence of bleeding was observed when probing located on abutment teeth 336 (58.2%), 96 (16.6%) abutment teeth had localized periodontal pockets, 129 (37.8%) deformity mucogingival localized type recession, 159 (27.5%) gingivitis associated with bacterial plaque located in abutment teeth and 27 (4.6%) localized severe chronic periodontitis. In the bivariate analysis it was found that in periodontal disease localized with respect to age, the highest prevalence was gingivitis associated with bacterial plaque in the age group less than or equal to 45 years of 97 (61.0%) and the lowest value was chronic severe periodontitis 8 (29.6%). In the group older than 45 years, it was gingivitis associated with bacterial plaque in a decreased periodontium 66 (61.6) and mild chronic periodontitis 5 (33.3) with the lowest result. It was shown that the most prevalent disease with respect to localized and generalized periodontal disease was gingivitis associated with localized bacterial plaque and moderate chronic periodontitis. Conclusions: the highest prevalence of periodontal disease in rehabilitated abutment teeth with fixed partial prosthesis and unit crown and in relation to the absence of 24.2% in abutment tooth, corresponds 27.5% to gingivitis associated with bacterial plaque, 18.5% in a decreased periodontium and 13.5% to mucogingival deformity type recession. It was also observed that 16.2% of teeth presented periodontal pockets, corresponding 9%, 4.6% and 2.6% to moderate chronic periodontitis with insertion level of 3.4 mm, severe chronic periodontitis with higher insertion level of 5 mm and mild chronic periodontitis with insertion level of 1-2 mm respectively.Odontólogohttps://www.ustabuca.edu.co/Pregrad
Análise clínica e citogenética de um caso de transtorno do desenvolvimento sexual testicular XX com SRY-negativo
No full textXX testicular disorder of sex development (DSD) is a pathology that occurs in an individual with a 46,XX karyotype and an anatomical phenotype of male external genitalia, which may vary from normal to ambiguous. Clinically, two subgroups of SRY-negative and SRY-positive, 46,XX men have been described, depending on the presence of the SRY gene that is normally found on the chromosome participating in testicular determination. This article describes the personal history and clinical findings of an infant with urethral meatus abnormalities in whom a 46,XX chromosome set was identified. Also, fluorescent in situ hybridization was performed in peripheral blood lymphocytes which demonstrated the absence of the SRY gene and confirmed the presence of two X chromosomes. El trastorno del desarrollo sexual (tds) testicular XX es una patología que se presenta en un individuo con cariotipo 46,XX con un fenotipo anatómico de genitales externos masculinos, que pueden variar desde la normalidad hasta la ambigüedad genital. Clínicamente se han descrito dos subgrupos de hombres 46,XX con SRY-negativos y SRY-positivos, dependiendo de la presencia o no del gen SRY que normalmente se encuentra en cromosoma y participando en la determinación testicular. En este artículo se describen los antecedentes personales y los hallazgos clínicos de un infante con anomalías de meato urinario en el cual se identificó un complemento cromosómico 46,XX. También, se realizó hibridación in situ fluorescente en linfocitos de sangre periférica que demostró la ausencia del gen SRY y confirmó la presencia de dos cromosomas X.O transtorno do desenvolvimento sexual (TDS) testicular XX é uma patologia apresentada em um indivíduo com cariótipo 46,XX com um fenótipo anatômico de genitais externos masculinos, que podem variar da normalidade à ambiguidade genital.
