Summary: Habronemiasis is a condition that affects many horses. The disease has worldwide in distribution. Adults normally inhabit the equine stomach and eggs and larvae are passed in the feces and are ingested by maggots of intermediate hosts. Many diseases of skin also affect the skin of horse, donkey and mule such as dermatophilosis, dermatopytosis/ring worm, and tick infestation.

 Summary: Multicourse result corneal disease of pet animals such as; corneal opacity, focal edema, diffuse edema, keratic precipitates, So, causes of corneal opacities, which are often seen in various combinations. Specific causes of focal edema include focal corneal epithelial dysfunction. The cornea is the clear, shiny membrane, which makes up the surface of the eyeball. Cornea is transparent, densely innervated, a vascular, and the major refractive structure of the eye. A healthy cornea achieves and maintains transparency due to the organization of constituent cells and collagen fibers, as well as its relatively dehydrated state. A complete ophthalmic examination is essential to identify related ocular and systemic abnormalities that may have led to the corneal opacity. Correct interpretation of corneal changes is critical for diagnosing corneal disease as well as many other ocular and some systemic diseases. Therefore, appropriate diagnostic tests and prompt initiation of optimal therapy are required to maximize the chance of saving vision, producing a comfortable globe and, occasionally, saving the patient’s life. Treatment depends on whether there is a corneal abrasion, corneal ulcer, or descemetocele present. Corneal abrasions generally heal within 7-10 days. Medication is used to prevent bacterial infections and to relieve pain. Antibiotic drops are only effective for a few minutes so they must be applied frequently; ointments last a bit longer but still require application every few hours. It is suggested that an antibiotic preparation be instilled in the eye 4 to 6 times per day.

ABSTRACT: Background: Raising a child with a disability has been recognized as a major source of burden and distress to family and their caregivers. Aim: This study aimed to assess the burdens and identify the coping strategies among caregivers of children with disabilities. Study design: A descriptive study design was utilized in this study. Setting: The study was implemented in three governmental mixed special needs schools in El-Fayoum city that were selected randomly. Sample: A multistage stratified sampling techniques was used in recruiting children and their caregivers. The study sample consisted of 360 caregivers of children with disabilities. Tools: Three tools for data collections consisted of, First tool: A structured interviewed questionnaire, Second tool:  Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) scale and Third tool: COPE Inventory scale. Results: The study findings revealed that 65.3% of caregivers had moderate to severe burden level while 21.9% had severed burden levels. About 53.9% had moderately coping strategies, while 30.6% had low coping strategies. Conclusion: This study concluded that the majority of caregivers had moderate to severe burdens level, and a minority of them had highly coping strategies. Regarding the total coping strategies, the studied caregivers' religious coping, active coping, and substance use were statistically significant independent positive predictors. Recommendations: The current study recommended that providing support and educational programs for caregivers directly contributes to the needs of caregivers and leads to improving the care provided to children with disabilities, minimizing their parents' burden levels as well as improving their coping responses.

Abstract: Investigations on the bionomics of Batocera rufomaculata De Geer (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in mulberry farms of Jammu and Kashmir state (India) demonstrated an annual life cycle with an adult emergence period of over four months from May to September; adult emergence started in May, peaked in June and ended in August. Adults required maturation feeding period of 14.00±0.561 days. Sexually mature beetles mated promiscuously and copulation period averaged 60.50±6.23 seconds. Females deposited eggs singly into the bark of host plants with an average daily and life time fecundity of 1.27 and 148.66 eggs respectively. Eggs hatched in 10.20± 1.25 days and larvae developed through 9 instars in 253.35±4.37 days. Ultimate larval instar pupated in the pupal cells, made by the ultimate larvae; adults emerged from the pupal cells after 27.5±1.35 days through circular emergence holes. Larvae as well as adults caused damage to the host plants; the latter compensated the damage caused by adults to some extent by sprouting lateral buds while as grubs caused irreparable damage and lead the host plants to death. The extent of damage caused to the host plants is also reported in the paper.

ABSTRACT: We previously reported that dglucose is a strong predictor of renal function change in diabetes. This study is an expansion of a previous study with longer duration. Data was compared between first and last visits. Eighty five diabetic patients were treated with a combination of glargine or detemir and regular or fast acting insulin for 26.3 ± 24.6 (SD) months. Blood pressure was controlled by beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, sympathetic inhibitors, or a combination, and chlorthalidone in resistant cases. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and receptors blockers (ACEI/ARB) were excluded in order to reduce the risk of acute and chronic renal failure. Objectives were to determine if this paradigm of treatment prevents progression of diabetic nephropathy. Fasting (F) and 2-hour postprandial (2hPP), glucose, serum creatinine (Scr) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR); hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c); and sitting systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP) were recorded for first and last visits. Mean blood pressure (MBP) and differences (d, 2hPP-F) were calculated for glucose, Scr, and eGFR. Parameters between first and last visits were compared using a paired t-test adjusted for age, gender and duration of treatment with P<0.05 considered significant. No significant differences were found between first and last visits for F and 2hPP glucose, F and 2hPP Scr, and F and 2hPP eGFR, and HbA1c. dglucose, sitting SBP and MBP were significantly lower at last compared to first visit. Combining both visits, dglucose and HbA1c showed a direct and positive correlation with dScr.Change in post minus pretreatment values were significantly positively correlated between HbA1c and FBG, 2hPPG or dglucose. In conclusion the current study emphasizes the importance of control of dglucose (2hPP-F) with insulin in preserving renal function in diabetes.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Integrins are membrane adhesion proteins belonging to the family of transmembrane receptors, and hetero-dimeric glycoprotein consisting of two subunits α and β . This protein is encoded by ITGA2 gene. it is essentially involved in cell-cell interaction, cell-pathogen agent and cell-extracellular matrix. It plays a major role in platelet adhesion to the sub endothelial matrix in thrombogenesis. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the Bgl II polymorphism of the α2β1 integrin and stroke in the Tunisian population. METHODS: Case-controlled study included 34 patients with stroke and 35 healthy controls. The Bgl II polymorphism of α2β1 integrins was determined by PCR-RFLP (polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism) analysis method. RESULTS: In the whole population, the genotypic frequencies of the Bgl II polymorphism of the α2β1 integrin in stroke and control groups (+/+, +/-, -/-) were 16.7%, 40 %, 43.3% and 2.9%, 42.9%, 54.3% , respectively (χ2 = 9.13, p< 0.01). The genotype was not associated with stroke, OR=0.16 , 95% CI [0.01-1.56], p<0.11 for heterozygous and OR=0.13, 95% CI [0.01-1.31], p<0.08 for  homozygous. All the other comparisons failed to show any significant result. Furthermore, a relationship was found between clinical characteristics and Bgl II genotypes. CONCLUSION: The present study does not support any association between Bgl II polymorphism of the α2β1 integrin and stroke. Then, our results suggest that this variant can’t be considered as a genetic risk factor for stroke in the Tunisian population.

Summary: Medicinal plants are of great use as they can be used to treat various diseases without side effects of the chemical drugs. Andrographis paniculata is one such plant possessing many health benefits like antioxidant, antibacterial, antitumor, antidiabetic, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory and antiviral activities. In spite of all the known beneficial effects, there is no standardized protocol for extraction of bioactive components from this plant. So in the present study our main aim is to compare the different extraction solvents (acetone, chloroform, distilled water, ethyl acetate, hexane and methanol) for their efficiency in extracting Andrographis Paniculata plant’s bioactive components. Further we also want to standardize the plant’s regeneration protocol under laboratory controlled conditions using different hormone combinations. To best of our knowledge this is the first report which shows that the extraction of phytochemicals from the dried leaves of Andrographis paniculata is maximally obtained by using chloroform and distilled water as an extraction solvent and provides various hormone combinations for regeneration of this plant under laboratory controlled conditions.

Abstract: Introduction and objectives: Unconsummated marriage is a complex sexual disorder which includes psychological and physical aspects. The couples with this problem often for long times, sometimes even up to several years, single-handedly attempt to solve the problem and when they fail and enter into sex therapy process, because of sensitive nature of the disease, they don’t have enough motivation to continue a long-term treatment due to created marital disharmony, relationships disorders, depression and anxiety. Therefore, considering unconsummated marriage as an emergency case, present study aims to investigate the efficacy of behavioral - systems approach in treatment of patients with unconsummated marriage.  Methods: Present study is a quasi-experimental study. Statistical population of the study includes couples with a history of unconsummated marriage (vaginismus type) referring to Tolou specialty and subspecialty clinic of Rasht City during the years 2015-2016. To that end, 44 couples were selected as research sample through convenience method. Sex therapy protocol was conducted in the form of 5 weekly individual half-hour sessions. The data were analyzed using descriptive indicators. Results: 21 couples (56.8%) were treated according to the protocol in five sessions and 16 (43.2%) couples were treated in 8 sessions. Conclusion: Given cultural conditions of the Iranian society, treatment of unconsummated marriage (vaginismus type) will be efficient in short time with a focus on training and increasing sexual information, correcting misunderstandings, gradual desensitization and reducing fear and anxiety.
