     summary: | DOI 10.5195/cajgh.2015.138|http://cajgh.pitt.edu Nations indicated that 21.0% of the Indian population will be aged 60+ years by 2050.5 Mental disorders in the elderly often go untreated due to the misperceptions that these disorders are a normal part of aging and a natural reaction to chronic illness, loss of family members, and social transition occurring with age.6 The burden of late-life psychiatric disorder on physical health, social support systems, and overall functioning is considerable, making mental disorders a leading cause of burden in elderly adults.7 Additionally, mental disorder is a preventable risk factor for mortality, particularly suicide attempts.8 Western countries have conducted numerous studies on the resources, needs, and outcomes on the community-based care of the elderly, which helped in the estimation of public health burden of the geropsychiatric population.9-14 Few studies have been conducted in India on the extent of mental disorder burden in these geriatric age groups. The assessment of psychiatric disorder prevalence will help strengthen psycho-geriatric services and thus improve the quality of life of the elderly.

     summary: Furthermore, dietary habits that include consumption of smoked food, fast food, salty food, coffee/tea, and spicy food were associated with aggravating the symptoms of dyspepsia; while fruits, vegetables, and water were noted to improve the symptoms.29-32 Studies showed that smoking negatively affects dyspepsia symptoms by decreasing mucosal production, limiting the neutralizing base production, and decreasing blood flow to the inner layers of the stomach, interfering with normal physiological protective mechanisms of the stomach.33-35 The analgesic effects are explained as delayed gastric emptying, increased pyloric zonal contraction, and the release of acid.36 Alcohol has a similar role in damaging the stomach as analgesics, where it increases the production of acid.37 Methods: A cross-sectional survey study was conducted among pre-clinical medical students at Gulf Medical University, Ajman and collected basic demographic data, dyspepsia prevalence, dietary factors, and lifestyle factors.

     summary: Major causes of morbidity and mortality have undergone an epidemiologic transition from predominantly nutritional deficiencies and infectious diseases in developing nations to chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease.23 With the epidemiological transition and increased urbanization associated with the increase in CVD risk factors (behavioral, social, and lifestyle patterns), the CVD burden is increasing in developing countries including India.24 Previous literature provides evidence that while the prevalence and mortality rate of CVD has decreased in developed nations, it has substantially increased in India, which has been undergoing rapid demographic, social, and economic change.25 Studies have shown a major income decline due to CVD-related losses in productive labor.3 Understanding the health characteristics of young and middle aged males (18–60 years) will allow public health experts and policy makers to adopt focused interventions for prevention of disease and promoting lifestyle modifications.

     summary: Table 4: Percentage of sensitivity and specificity of smear microscopy, by laboratory Discussion In their review on the roles of laboratories and laboratory systems in effective TB programs, Ridderhof et al., called for more operational research to be done in TB laboratories in the field in resource-limited settings to support evidence-based laboratory practice.5 Evaluations of EQA systems and/or blinded random re-checking strategies in TB microscopic laboratories had been conducted in various countries with high TB burden.6-8 Our study performed the first evaluation on the EQA system and the performance of the TB microscopic laboratories in Sughd, Tajikistan since system implementation. Three levels of TB laboratories operate under the umbrella of the Republican TB Center (RTBC) at the central level.5 Provincial TB centers form the intermediate level of the laboratory network in the three administrative “oblasts” of the republic: Sughd, Khalton, and Gorno-Badakhsan Autonomous Oblast (GBAO).5 Districts of Republican Subordination, a fourth oblast in Tajikistan is centrally managed by the RTBC.

     summary: In terms of global gene expression in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), nitric oxide mediated signal transduction, the NF-kB cascade and the pro-inflammatory response are the most age up-regulated processes, while chromatin silencing, single-strand break repair, SMAD protein nuclear translocation and chromatin remodeling are the most down-regulated ones.56 Alterations at the HSC epigenetic level are supported by many chromosomal regions showing a coordinated change in transcriptional activity.56 Fate-wise, a skewing to the myeloid line and a diminished lymphoid potential are observed with ageing.57 It has been known for a long time that reactive oxygen species (ROS), if not properly checked, have the potential to cause indiscriminate cellular damage.30 Today, it is recognized that ROS may also play a functional signaling role in activating processes such as the inflammatory and stress responses.28,58 Additionally, there is indication that ROS play a role in regulating hematopoiesis.59 In particular, evidence associates abnormal ROS levels at old age with a dysfunction in both the proliferation and the differentiation dynamics of HSCs. Reactive oxygen species act through p38 MAPK to limit the lifespan of hematopoietic stem cells.

     summary: Health care may be the immediate determinant, but it is influenced by other determinants that must be addressed in order to alleviate the burden on health care, as well as to achieve long-term reduction in maternal mortality. Pathways through which determinants influence maternal health of food (41%), shelter (18%), and clean water (14%).9 Lack of food (malnutrition with subsequent anemia) contributes to the increased risk of complications among pregnant women.9 Though some improvement has been made in the first decade of 21st century, 63% of the population have no access to improved toilet facilities in 2010 and 50% were without improved water sources.44 Discussion The literature on maternal health in Afghanistan reveals that health care, education, sociocultural practices, employment, income, food, and sanitation are important determinants for maternal health.

     summary: 20 As well as killing microbes, studies have shown that sub-lethal concentrations of honey can reduce microbial pathogenicity, for example, Kronda et al (2013) demonstrated that sub-lethal concentrations of manuka honey reduced siderophore production, a virulence factor that scavenges iron for bacterial growth, in strains of P. aeruginosa. The Efficacy of Honey in the Treatment of Skin Wounds: In Vitro Studies In vitro studies have revealed that honey from diverse floral origins can kill a wide range of wound pathogens, including; methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii. 15-18 As an example, the work of Cooper et al, (2002) demonstrated that manuka and pasture honey from New Zealand were active against 17 strains of P. aeruginosa isolated from infected burns with minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) below 10%.

     summary: The frequency of BRCA1 mutations in Chinese women with breast cancer without family history was 5.4%.40 On the other hand, 2% of breast cancer cases in the largest breast cancer population-based study in a UK population showed association with BRCA genes with 0.7% attribution of BRCA1 (Anglian Breast Cancer Study Group, 2000).41 Several hospital-based series of unselected breast cancers implicate BRCA1 and BRCA2 in 2–5% and 0–2% of all cases, respectively.41 The two most common haplotypes, defined by the alleles Gln356Pro871Glu1038Ser1613 and Gln356Leu871Gly1038Gly1613, have frequencies of 0.57 and 0.32, respectively, and these frequencies do not differ significantly between patient and control groups, indicating that the most common polymorphisms of the BRCA1 gene do not make a significant contribution to breast or ovarian cancer risk.30 Common polymorphisms in BRCA1/2 genes appear to be highly prevalent in Kazakhstan breast cancer cases and in healthy controls which is in concordance with previously reported findings in some Asian and European populations.37-43, 47-49 Frequencies of these polymorphisms were higher in breast cancer cases vs controls, particularly in the BRCA2 gene, p<0.05.

     summary: Experts have already raised alarms about the growing numbers of HIV infections among labor migrants, and growing risk for HIV transmission to their home countries.26 Household wealth is positively associated with comprehensive HIV knowledge, although the effects were mostly significant for Central Asian countries. Recent nationally representative surveys conducted in 26 of 31 countries with generalized epidemics revealed that less than 50% of women have comprehensive HIV knowledge.1 Similarly, empirical studies demonstrate that although women’s awareness about HIV/AIDS has increased, their levels of comprehensive knowledge, as defined by UNICEF, either remain low,6,7 or have not reached the 90% targeted threshold set by the United Nations General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS).8 Since injection drug use was the primary method of HIV transmission in the early days of the epidemic, it is not surprising that most published studies of HIV infections in Eastern Europe and Central Asia were focused on injection drug users.9,20,11,12

     summary: Published evidence points to the excessive use of open surgical approaches for hysterectomy when minimally invasive approaches may be used.4 Reducing the overutilization of open hysterectomy has many benefits: lessening patient recovery time, reducing surgical complications, such as infection and thromboembolic events, and decreased healthcare expenditures.4-7 One way of reducing this variability in care is by adopting clinical pathways. Clinical pathways became an essential part of patient care management in the US.

      flesch: 58
     summary: Away from their home countries’ traditional cultures that prohibit women from engaging in non-marital sexual relations, female migrants may be more sexually active with more partners.6-9 In Moscow female migrants face greater difficulties with legal status than male migrants.10,11 These difficulties can increase their vulnerability to exploitation, reduce their access to services, and lead to higher STI and HIV.12-14 Illegal status may confine female migrants to unregistered and low-wage positions.15 To survive, women often turn to formal sex work or to transactional sex, resulting in greater sexual risk for HIV.16-18 Female migrants from developing countries often have limited HIV knowledge, may associate condoms with promiscuity, and may avoid condom use with regular sexual partners.19-24 On the other hand, home country religion, cultural values of abstinence, and having friends not engaged in sexual risk behavior may be protective factors for HIV risk.25-27 Respect for parents’ beliefs and values and having plans for the future have been found to be protective against pre-marital sex.28 The WHO has shifted the emphasis of preventative health care with migrants from a focus on individual behavior to considering the social determinants of health.29 However, HIV risk among the growing number of female labor migrants globally, is presently under-investigated.30 There is a need for scientific investigations of female migrants that build knowledge on the social determinants of health and that could help to inform the development of HIV prevention for female labor migrants.

       title: Trends and Determinants of Attitudes Towards People Living with HIV/AIDS Among Women of Reproductive Age in Tajikistan

       words: 4848
      flesch: 44
     summary: According to the 2007 National Study, the percentages of people who believed that an HIV-infected teacher should be allowed to teach and that they would buy food from an HIV-positive vendor were 39.4% and 23.3% respectively.2 The findings on the first two main predictors are consistent with numerous previous studies.12,13,14 Concerning the third predictor, the finding corroborates with some studies that found negative association between the probability of being tested and HIV stigmatizing attitudes10,11,12 and contradicts others that demonstrated that HIV testing was not a significant factor in achieving positive attitudes towards PLWHA.13 Our findings suggests the importance of HIV testing in reducing discriminatory attitudes. The key finding of the study, demonstrating that women’s knowledge of HIV prevention and transmission methods and HIV testing are significant predictors of tolerant attitudes towards PLWHA, supports this assertion.

     summary: Finally, previous research reported that many women do not seek HIV testing services because their brothers or mothers-in-law forbid them to do so.3 Moreover, available data suggests that spouses rarely discuss HIV testing between each other.18 Asking a husband/partner to test for HIV is particularly difficult for a woman due to power dynamics within the relationship.

The difference between wanted and actual fertility rates suggest an unmet need for family planning services throughout the four oblasts and the capital, Dushanbe.16,17 An unmet need for family planning occurs when women are unable to space and/or limit childbearing as they desire.22 Data presented from Tajikistan 2017 Demographic and Health Survey, available at https://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/FR341/FR341.pdf Figure 1.

     summary: Cardiovascular diseases typically occur in middle age or later, however lifestyle behaviors are learned in early life and maintained throughout adulthood.9,10 Physical activity levels and dietary habits are important health related factors that, learned in early ages, are screening tools to identify young subjects at risk for later CHD development.11 Reports have shown that excess weight and sedentary lifestyle among young adults are associated with high prevalence of cardiovascular risk.12 Low parental education has been shown to contribute to an individual’s risk for CHD development.13 In the current study, analyses were conducted to assess whether choices of physical activity, smoking status, and parental education and income were correlated with the health status of young adult males, which are important for preventive health policy. For these educated young adults, low parental education caused no impact on their health status.

       words: 5605
      flesch: 51
     summary: We identified a number of barriers that prevented seniors from leading active lifestyles, which included community misconceptions about older adult physical activity, family centeredness in older adulthood, scarcity of resources, passive support from the leadership, and lack of efforts in the community. Government funding was very scarce, and most of older adult physical activities were self-funded or supported by family members.

     summary: They also have similar health patterns and life expectancies (Uzbekistan, 67.2, Kazakhstan, 67.0, Tajikistan, 66.7, Kyrgyzstan, 65.9 and Turkmenistan, 63.2) which are near to the global average life expectancy.1 Figure 1: The countries of Central Asia Since World War II, Central Asian countries have demonstrated a rapid increase in life expectancy, although there is still a large gap between genders.2 Each country underwent the epidemiological transition, where life expectancy rose due to a major reduction of infectious diseases and an unmasking of chronic diseases including: diabetes,3 cardiovascular disease, cancer, stroke, COPD, and injuries. As presented in Figure 2, there are countries that are adjacent to Central Asian countries, such as Iran, with 40 times the number of articles published (9,257 per year) and Pakistan with 11 times more, 2,944 per year).6 Figure 2: Comparison of number of publications from countries adjacent to Central Asia and the countries of Central Asia.

     summary: Additionally, there were no significant differences in total adiponectin level by diet group (7.82 ± 3.74 vs. 7.64 ± 2.87 ug/ml; p = 0.7) or preference group (7.76 ± 3.57 vs. 7.62 ± 7.66 ug/ml; p = 0.7), nor did HMW adiponectin level differ by diet group (3.33 ± 2.21 vs. 3.23 ± 1.68 ug/ml; p = 0.8) or preference group (3.30 ± 1.97 vs. 3.23 ± 20.01; p = 0.8). Although the estimate for change in total adiponectin decreased by 34% when change in weight was added to the model, these results indicate that improvements in total adiponectin level contributed to improved insulin sensitivity above the usual clinical markers of diabetes.

      flesch: 23
     summary: This application should be particularly useful for studying multistep intracellular processes, where the proximities between proteins and protein properties typically changed in a sequential manner. Specifically, in proteomics, this implies that the detection of protein-protein proximity is a more general task than gaining information about physical interactions between proteins, as it could detail aspects of spatial order in vivo that are challenging to reconstitute in binding experiments in vitro.

     summary: These iPSCs were differentiated into NK cells using a two-stage coculture system: iPSCs into hematopoietic CD34+ cells with feeder cells M210-B4 (ATCC, USA) and CD34+ cells into mature NK cells with AFT024 cells (ATCC, USA). This demonstrates a need for a source of NK cells that can supplement the endogenous cell population.
