AbstractWe propose a susceptible-exposed-infective-recovered-type (SEIR-type) meta-population model to simulate and monitor the (COVID-19) epidemic evolution. The basic model consists of seven categories, namely, susceptible (S), exposed (E), three infective classes, recovered (R), and deceased (D). We define these categories for n age and sex groups in m different spatial locations. Therefore, the resulting model contains all epidemiological classes for each age group, sex, and location. The mixing between them is accomplished by means of time-dependent infection rate matrices. The model is calibrated with the curve of daily new infections in New York City and its boroughs, including census data, and the proportions of infections, hospitalizations, and deaths for each age range. We finally obtain a model that matches the reported curves and predicts accurate infection information for different locations and age classes.

One of the most important stage in women`s life is menopause. The word menopause simply refers to the last menstrual period which is defined by not having had a period in 12 months. The average age of menopause in western world is 51 years while as in India it is 47.5 years and the normal age range for the occurrence of menopause is somewhat between the age of 45 and 55 years. A descriptive study was conducted to assess the level of knowledge regarding menopause among rural women of age group 45-55 years at Kot Bhalwal, Jammu. The objectives were to assess the level of knowledge regarding menopause among rural women of age group 45-55 years at Kot Bhalwal, Jammu and to associate the level of knowledge regarding menopause with their selected socio demographic variables. Quantitative approach, descriptive research design was used. 100 women of 45–55 years age who fulfil the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected using purposive sampling technique. A self-structured questionnaire was developed for the study. The tool was tested for content validity and reliability prior to the study. The collected data was tabulated, analysed and interpreted by using descriptive and inferential statistics and findings showed that majority of the sample 97(97%) had below average level of knowledge, 3(3%) had average level of knowledge and 0(0%) had above average level of knowledge and there was no significant association between the selected socio-demographic variables and the level of knowledge.

The ECGs of 104 normal children from a few hours old to 5 years of age were studied. These ECGs consisted of the standard limb leads, the aV limb leads and six precordial leads: V4R, V1, V2, V4, V5 and V6. While the number of cases in each group are small, the following conclusions are suggested by this study: 1. ECGs of the newborn infant present important variations from those seen in later life. This is especially true during the first week of life. Thereafter the contour evolves [SEE FIG. 2 IN SOURCE PDF] in a definite manner until the adult-like pattern is reached. 2. The vertical and semivertical "electric" positions were the most frequently encountered in this age group. 3. P-waves present a rather permanent pattern in this age range: a. is usually upright in lead 1 and 2, aVF, V4, V5 and V6. b. is usually inverted in lead 2 and aVR. c. is either upright, inverted or diphasic in lead 3, aVL, V4R, V1 and V2. 4. The P-R interval varies from 0.10 sec. minimum to 0.16 sec. maximum with the average being 0.12 sec. in this age range. It tends to become greater in the older age groups. 5. QRS duration is shorter in the younger age groups and increases slowly with age. 6. Polyphasic, M-shaped or slurred QRS complexes are not uncommon in the ECGs of normal children in this age range. 7. A Q wave is frequently absent in lead 1 and in all chest leads during the first week of life. Thereafter up to 5 years of age the pattern of the Q wave is as follows: a. Q is generally absent in lead 1, V4R, V1, V2 and V4. b. Q is generally present in lead 3, V4R, aVF, V5 and V6. 8. There is a distinct pattern of right ventricular dominance in leads from the sternum and to its right at birth. This pattern gradually undergoes involution, probably related to normal physiologic development, until the left ventricle becomes dominant. Thus the evolution of the S-wave parallels a gradual involution of the R-wave in right precordial leads and probably also in aVR. This dominance of the left ventricle over the entire precordium is usual by about 3 years, but may be delayed normally until 5 years of age. 9. The T-wave is upright or diphasic in V4R, V1, and V2 and inverted in V5 and V6 for the first 24 hours of life; it gradually alters so that by the fourth day it is inverted in V4R, V1 and V2 and upright in V5 and V6 and thereafter. 10. The transition zone of QRS varies from one age group to another and tends in some ages to be broad. In some instances no real transition zone can be determined.

The paper presents comparative results of estimation of mortality from HIV infection, tuberculosis (TB), fibrosis and cirrhosis of the liver of nonalcoholic nature according to age group for the residents of the Krasnodar region for the period 2006 to 2011. The average age range of the probable development of death from HIV infection was 35-39, from tuberculosis - 45-49 and from liver cirrhosis 55-59 years. Given clinical case is demonstrating the importance of the underestimation of hepatitis "C" complicating diagnosis of cirrhosis in patients with HIV infection, suffering from secondary diseases: pulmonary tuberculosis, cytomegalovirus, toxoplasmosis, herpes infection, candidiasis. After a comprehensive review of the examples the authors provide recommendations for monitoring and management of patients with ТВ and HIV infection and chronic viral hepatitis "C".

Aim. To study the prevalence of carotid (CA) and femoral artery (FA) atherosclerosis among Russian population, mainly in middle age group, using a representative sample of one of the Central Russian regions.Material and methods. The analysis included participants of the ATEROGEN-Ivanovo study (sub-study of the ESSE-RF conducted in the Ivanovo region) aged 40-67 years, who were invited for CA and FA ultrasound to assess plaque presence. A total 1102 people were examined, which was >80% of the original sample.Results. The age of subjects was 54 [48; 60] years (men, 28%). Only 11,2% of participants took statins; 30,9% had low cardiovascular risk (CVR), 35,6% — moderate CVR, 21,8% — high CVR, and 11,8% — very high CVR. The incidence of at least one plaque in CA or FA was 73,6%. The prevalence of CA atherosclerosis was 76,4% in men and 59,1% in women, FA atherosclerosis — 54,9% and 28,3%, respectively. Furthermore, plaques were detected already at the age of 40. The incidence of plaques significantly increased with age, with the exception of carotid atherosclerosis in men, a significant increase in the incidence of which stopped at 45 years of age.Conclusion. Among the Ivanovo population aged 40-67 with a predominance of low-to-moderate CVR patients, there is a high prevalence of carotid and femoral atherosclerosis, which indicates a high potential for using ultrasound for diagnosing subclinical atherosclerosis in assessing CVR in people of this age range.

Suicide is intentional self-killing, and parasuicide an act of deliberate self-harm—either by injury, ingestion or inhalation—not resulting in death (Blacket al,1982). Both are rare under the age of 12 and the rate of suicide in those under 16 remains consistently low. Referrals to psychiatric services reported by Shaffer (1974) indicated that 7–10% were for threatened or attempted suicide, while Hawton (1982) quoted studies giving the incidence as 10–33% for children aged six to 12; in England and Wales (1962–1968), suicide accounted for 0.6% of deaths in the 10–14 age-range. McClure (1984) found that between 1975 and 1980, only ten such deaths were recorded in the 13-and-under range, and 26 deaths in the 14 year-olds, after which the number of suicides rose sharply with each successive year. That study also showed that parasuicide was most common in the 15–24 age-group, but at younger ages there was a higher proportion of undetermined deaths, as against officially recorded suicides. The social taboos associated with suicide may lead to its systematic under-reporting, but even allowing for that, the phenomenon is still a rare one under the age of 16.

Background: Melanocytic lesions are common and include both benign and malignant conditions. Benign melanocytic nevus may show varied microscopic features and should be differentiated from malignant lesions. In the present study, we analyse the histopathological pictures of different types of benign melanocytic nevi.Materials and methods: This study was a hospital based retrospective study and all the cases reported as melanocytic nevus in the period from Jan 2014 to June 2018 in the Department of Pathology, Manipal Teaching Hospital were retrieved and analysed in the study.Results: A total of 104 melanocytic lesions including 74 cases of benign melanocytic nevus were reported in the study period. Females were affected more with a female to male ratio of 1.8:1. The age range was 5 to 78 years with mean age of 28 years. Among the female patients, the commonest age group was 21-30 years while among the males; the most affected age group was 11-20. The commonest histopathological subtype was intradermal nevus comprising 73% cases followed by compound nevus.  On analysis of the different sites involved, face, head and neck were found to comprise 92% cases. Epidermal changes including hyperkeratosis, acanthosis were common in intradermal nevus. In most cases, tumor cells were arranged in nests. Melanin pigment was noted in majority of the cases. Secondary changes noted were chronic inflammation, fibrosis and multinucleated giant cells.Conclusion: Benign melanocytic nevus may present in varied age range and show wide spectrum of histological features. All pigmented lesions should be biopsied for its subtypes.

Abstract Abstract 4305 There has been recent interest in exploring the use of paediatric ALL protocols in treating older patients. TYA patients (16–25 years) were therefore included in the UKALL 2003 trial (Eudract No: 2007–004013-34) as the age range of the trial was raised in 2006 to 18 years and again in 2007 to include patients up to their 25th birthday. The tolerability of this approach is unknown and we therefore investigated the steroid toxicity during maintenance in a sub-set of the TYA cohort in this study. Data was collected through SAE reports, case report forms and additional questionnaires sent to participating centres. We report on 91 evaluable patients (40% of 229 recruited to the trial) who had commenced or completed maintenance. Given the nature of the survey, this cohort was enriched for the toxicities described and therefore the incidences reported are not representative of that observed in the full trial cohort. The median age of these 91 patients was 17 yrs (16–23) and there were 64 male (median18; range 16–23) and 27 female (median 17; range 16–22). Most patients had completed maintenance (median follow up 39.5 months; range 4–96 months) post start of induction.76 patients were on the intermediate risk Regimen B and 15 on the high risk Regimen C due poor cytogenetics at diagnosis or a poor marrow response at day 29. Of the 91 patients 66% (n=60) had grade 2 – 4 possible or probable steroid toxicity. This was grade 2–3 in the majority and only four patients experienced grade 4 toxicity (3 avascular necrosis – AVN, 1 infection). In 91 patients there were 68 grade 2–4 toxicities; AVN 41% (n=28/68), infection 27% (n=18/68), psychological disturbances 16% (n=11/68), joint pain/fracture 7% (n=5/68), GI bleed 3% (n=2/68), other 6% (n=4/68). The causes of infections are likely to have been multifactorial. 24/91 patients (26%) stopped steroids early during maintenance due to the toxicity. 13/91 (14%) patients required modification of steroids (pause, tapered or change to prednisolone) during maintenance. Treatment for AVN and joint pain or fracture ranged from bed rest, hydrotherapy and analgesia (grade 2–3 toxicity) to joint replacement in patients with grade 4 AVN. Toxicities were otherwise managed with appropriate medication. The use of bisphophonates was inconsistent and only used in a minority of patients (11% n=10). There was a significantly higher chance that patients did not receive steroids as per protocol if they had joint pains, fracture or AVN. There is increasing use of paediatric protocols in TYA patients. Steroid intensity might be difficult to deliver in this age group due to associated morbidity. Bony complications are a significant cause of steroid morbidity in this age group with uncertainty about their optimal management and impact on long term joint health. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Introduction- Infertility affects both male and female. Little attention has been given to the psychological status of infertility male. Aim of this study is to study the association between depression and male infertility. Methods- 61 infertile men and 61 fertile men were randomly selected from DHH Kendrapada, Bhagabati hospital of Kendrapada and CHC of Derabish, Odisha and further administered HAM-D. Present study adopted case controlled design. Data analysis was done by using R statistical software. Results-Statistically significant association between depression and infertility men was found out [p<o.oo1]. It has also been found out that the lower the age group, higher the depressive symptoms. Conclusion-Depression among infertile men is remarkably high and individuals with low age range are at higher risk of developing depression.

Introduction: Aging is a sociocultural concept characterized by the opposite to the youth. Generalization and the lack of knowledge about this stage of life can lead to false assessments that tend to oscillate between positive and negative. Objective: a) To characterize the beliefs about aging of Dentistry undergraduates from a private higher education institution; b) to verify if the belief of the undergraduates had about aging may interfere in the choice of future dental care given to older people, and; c) to assess the profile of the respondents by gender, age and graduation period. Material and methods: This cross-sectionaldescriptive study was conducted with students properly enrolled in the Dentistry course of a private institution, in 2016 (N = 90). The profile of the population was defined by gender, age and graduation period. It was verified the preference and predilection in future working or not working with a certain age group. Also, the beliefs about aging were investigated through a semantic scale. Distributions of absolute and relative frequencies were made. Statistical analysis was given by using SPSS version 20.0. Results: Most respondents were female (78.9%); with a mean age of 23.34 years; enrolled in the 8th period; 51.1% said they had no preference in future work with particular age range; and, there was a predominance of positive view, with tendencies towards neutrality. There were no statistically significant differences between the beliefs toward aging and the variables: gender, age and period. Statistically significant dependencies were found between the beliefs about old age and preference in working or not working in future treat a certain age range of the population. Conclusion: Therespondents have a more positive view of old age; no predilection to provide dental care to a certain age group, highlighting a general and humanist profile in relation to chronological age.
