Introduction: Gastrointestinal infections are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality throughout the world, particularly in the immunocompromised. Gastrointestinal PCR appears to be the technique of choice for establishing the molecular diagnosis of pathogenic gastrointestinal agents. The aim of this study was to establish the epidemiological, clinical and evolutionary profile of gastrointestinal infections and to study the impact of molecular diagnosis on the choice of a targeted therapy. Methods: This is a retrospective study carried out in the Microbiology Department of Arrazi Hospital of the Mohamed VI University Hospital Center, including all immunocompromised patients treated for a gastrointestinal infection and needing a hospitalization in the various departments, over a period of 15 months. Results: During the period studied, 124 patients were collected. The average age of the patients was 22 years. Signs of gastrointestinal infection were present in all patients. Of the patients sampled, 95.2% received probabilistic antibiotic therapy. Gastrointestinal infection has been documented in 57.26% of patients. A bacterial etiology was found in 76.81% of patients. A viral etiology was found in 13.04% of the patients and a parasitic etiology was found in 10.15% of the patients. Enteropathogenic E. coli was the most common infectious agent detected (19.53%). Co-infections were found in 29.84% of patients. Following PCR results, management was changed in 70 patients (56.45%), including initiation or modification of antibiotics in 40 patients (32.26%) and discontinuation of antibiotic therapy in 30 patients (24.19%). Conclusion: The diagnosis of gastrointestinal infections by multiplex PCR allowed us to provide optimal patient care with a reduction in the unnecessary use of antibiotics and an improvement in the course of care.

Background: Piperacillin/Tazobactam(Pip/Taz) is a broad-spectrum antibacterial covering aerobic, and anaerobic microorganisms. Pip/Taz plays a major role in treating sepsis, respiratory infection, and intraabdominal infection. Many studies showed inappropriate use of Pip/Taz might increase the risk of resistance. This study aimed to evaluate the appropriateness use of Pip/Taz prescribing in pediatric patients in Peidatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at a major tertiary hospital. Method: A retrospective and observational study was conducted to evaluate the appropriateness use of Pip/Taz in PICU. The study included all neonates and pediatrics less than 14 years old in the PICU setting who had received at least dose of Pip/Taz during their admission for the period between Jan 2020 and Jan 2021. Assessment of antimicrobial appropriateness was evaluated according to Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) guidelines. Data were retrieved from the hospital’s Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) and exported to Excel spreadsheet. Results: Of 124 Pip/Taz prescriptions, 34% were inappropriate. The common indications for using Pip/Taz empirically were with sepsis and suspecting of pneumonia. The reasons for inappropriate use of Pip/Taz were due to continue using the drug based on clinical condition even the results of cultures had no growth of organisms 71%, then starting the drug without taking culture 14%, then the drug continued without justification despite culture resulted with no growth 10%, and finally continued without following sensitivity 5%. Conclusion: This study showed that there was inappropriate use of Pip/Taz at PICU. The inappropriate use was attributed to not following the lab results, culture sensitivity and not requesting microbiology culture.

Solanaceae is family of plants widely used in food, sauce and herbal medicine because its members are rich in carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, mineral salts and other trace and essential nutrients like phenols and flavonoids that retard degenerative diseases and stress. Knowledge on purposeful use of solanaceae in food and medicine in Uganda is low. Aqueous extracts of dry leaves of three selected solanum genera growing in Kabale were compared for their polyphenol and flavonoid contents and antioxidant properties. Total polyphenol (TPC) and total flavonoid (TFC) contents were determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu and aluminium chloride colorimetric methods respectively. Antioxidant properties and radical scavenging were determined using DPPH, hydrogen peroxide, thiocyanate-iron (III) complex and iron (II)/(III)-linoleic acid systems. The polyphenol content of dry leaves of S. anguivi was 1750 ± 0.70, that for S. macrocarpon was 104 ± 0.45 and S. nigrum was 97.80 ± 0.15 GAE/g yet the flavonoid content was 7.40 ± 0.30, 35.00 ± 0.60 and 16.40 ± 0.40 mg/QE/g for S. anguivi, S. macrocarpon and S. nigrum respectively. The DPPH scavenging at IC50 were 7.80 ± 0.25; 45.60 ± 0.30 and 42.90 ± 0.20 respectively yet hydrogen peroxide scavenging at IC50 stood at 6.89 ± 0.15; 27.00 ± 0.35 and 17 .90 ± 0.20 μg/mL in the respective order for S. anguivi, S. macrocarpon and S. nigrum. The available data suggests the plants are very good food supplements of high nutritive and chemotherapeutic values. However, there is need to perform in vivo and vitro experiments to deduce their efficacy on mammals.

10.36348/sijll.2022.v05i05.004
Days of Abandonment, Ferrante’s most frequently read novel in English world before My Brilliant Friend, witnesses the establishment of Ferrante’s unique voice. It relates the psychological and physical turmoil of its female protagonist Olga who has been abandoned by her husband. By drawing on Freud’s theory of mourning and loss, as well as Judith Butler’s theorization of ungrievable loss, this paper seeks to lay bare the process of the reconstruction of female subjectivity in Days of Abandonment. It is argued that, by conducting a proper mourning process for the loss of her boundedness with the patriarchal order as represented by her husband Mario, Olga has managed to step out of the patriarchal order and reestablish her connection not only with other human subjects, but also with nonhuman actors as well. And in this posthuman intra-action with materiality of the world, she has rebuilt her identity that initiates her into a more rewarding life.

Background: The auricle is a complex part of the sensory organ, and is made of cartilage that is covered with skin. Its function is to capture sound. This study was aimed at knowing the auricular dimensions in Okrika tribe in Rivers state. Methods: Auricular parameters from 401 Okrika indigens from 18 years and above were measured using standard Vernier calliper. The Parameters were ear height (EH), ear width (EW), lobular height (LH) and the lobular width (LW) for both right and left ears with the head of the subject in Frankfort horizontal plane. Results: Data was analyzed using SPSS version 23.0. All the measured parameters were higher in males compared to females in both left and right ears, implying sexual dimorphism. The mean values of all measured parameters in males were higher on the right compared to the left. Except ear index (T = 0.83; P = 0.41), side differences were observed in all other parameters at P < 0.05. Hence auricular parameters are said to be asymmetrical. In females, the mean values of all measured parameters were higher on the right compared to the left. Except ear index (T = 0.95; P = 0.34) and lobular index (T = 1.30; P = 0.19), side differences were observed in all other parameters at P < 0.05. Conclusion: In this study, we observed that all measured parameters were higher in the right ear than in the left and also larger in males than females. This sex related differences were said to be sexually dimorphic. Therefore this study has provided anthropometric data for the okrika tribe, which will be useful in forensic science and ear reconstructive surgeries.

This study analyses the changes in analyst recommendations in the Malaysian stock market from 2010 to 2018. Using samples of 668 upgrade recommendations and 495 downgrade recommendations, this study employs event study methodology to examine price performance by predicting abnormal returns using the market model. The findings indicate that significant positive stock price reactions occur following upgrade recommendations and significant negative stock price reactions occur following downgrade recommendations over a short-term and up to six-month period. Further analysis reveals no statistically significant difference in performance between analysts who are participants of the Capital Market Development Fund – Bursa Research Scheme (CBRS) and those who are not. This finding implies that, despite the significant market reaction to both upgrade and downgrade recommendations, CBRS’s financial analysts do not provide better analysis than those of non-CBRS analysts.

Background: Immunization remains one of the paramount public health interventions and a cost effective method to reduce both the ailment and death associated with infectious diseases. Uptake of vaccination is dependent not only on providing of the vaccination services but also on other influences including awareness and practice of women. Objectives: To assess tetanus toxoid immunization status of mother’s. In addition, to address the factors influencing their immunization status. Method: Cross sectional study conducted in ten primary health care centers in Baghdad for the period from February until the end of October 2020. Convenient sample of mothers, who had delivered a live baby within the previous 12 months from the study and attended the selected primary health care centers in Baghdad were recruited. An interview questionnaire used to collect data regarding history of tetanus toxoid vaccine up take of the mothers during their last pregnancy. Results: The total number of mothers enrolled in the study was 400, 214(53.5%) of them were received tetanus toxoid vaccine (TTV) during their last pregnancy. 127(59.3%) of the mothers were uptake two doses of TTV. Among the study group, 31.75% of mothers were considered as immunized according to WHO classification. Age of mother, education, and respondents’ working status; alongside with antenatal care attendance and place of delivery all had insignificant impact on the immunization status. Lack of time was the main reason for not vaccination (22.6%). Conclusion: Tetanus toxoid immunization coverage was inadequate. For that reason, immunization campaigns targeting enhanced utilization of immunization services by mothers and women of childbearing age are highly recommended.
