Abstract: The study aims to determine differences in water quality of breeding sites in endemic and non-endemic areas. The method used is quantitative observational analytic with a case control study design. Case group was water parameters in endemic areas and the control group is in non-endemic areas. 43 samples of breeding water were taken from each area then water quality measurements were carried out. Data were analyzed using independent t-test. The results obtained mean temperature in endemic areas 27.51 ± 0.739 oC, salinity 2,544 ± 0.638 gr/l, and DO 7,253 ± 1,097 mg/l. The mean temperature in non-endemic areas is 25.7 ± 1.124 oC, salinity is 2.472 ± 2.365 gr/l, and DO is 6.479 ± 1.059 mg/l. P-value of statistical tests of differences in temperature, salinity, and DO parameters in endemic and non-endemic areas are 0.000, 0.266, and 0.001. It was concluded that temperature and DO parameters in endemic areas proved to be significantly different from those in non-endemic areas. However, for salinity variables there are no significant differences. Keywords: Aedes aegypti, dissolved oxygen, salinity, temperature

The survival of <em>Aedes aegypti</em> larvae is inseparable from the adequacy of food, including organic substances available in the breeding water. It is very dependent on the level of water markers such as temperature, salinity, Dissolved Oxygen, and pH. The study used quantitative observational analytic with a case-control study design. Case group has consisted of breeding water in endemic area and control group was in non-endemic area. The sample size was 43 samples for each group, collected by purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed by Chi-square and Mann-Whitney test. Larvae mostly presence in endemic area (68.3%) and mostly absent in non-endemic area (85.4%) (<em>p</em>-value = 0.002). Temperature in endemic area mostly in 27-30<sup>o</sup>C (86%) and non-endemic area mostly in &lt;27<sup>o</sup>C or &gt;30<sup>o</sup>C (72.1%) (<em>p</em>-value = 0.000). Salinity in endemic and non-endemic areas has no difference (<em>p</em>-value = 0.266). DO in endemic areas were mostly in 5.02-7.82 mg/l (76.7%). While DO in non-endemic area was mostly in &lt;5.02 mg/l or &gt;7.82 mg/l (95.3%) (<em>p</em>-value = 0.001). The pH &lt;6 or &gt;7.8 is mostly in non-endemic areas (87.8%) and pH 6-7.8 is mostly in endemic areas (63.4%) (<em>p</em>-value = 0.000). Bio-physicochemical markers of breeding sites water have differences between endemic and non-endemic area except salinity. The temperature, salinity, DO, and pH affected the presence of larvae and the most affected is DO marker. While the marker that affected the presence of larvae in the non-endemic area is pH.

Objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease. This study aimed to determine the association of interleukin-17A-197G/A polymorphism with rheumatoid arthritis in Sudanese patients. Methods: A case–control study was conducted between March and December 2018. Clinical and demographic data of the study participants were collected and analyzed. Polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism molecular technique was done to investigate interleukin-17A-197G/A polymorphisms. All statistical tests were considered statistically significant when p < 0.05. Results: The study population included 266 participants aged between 1 and 85 years, with an average of 40 years, classified into 85 (31.2%) cases (mean age 48.5 ± 11.3 years), and 181 (68.8%) controls (mean age 35.3 ± 15.9 years). The interleukin-17A homozygote AA genotype was more frequent among the control group compared to the case group; 95 (52.5%) and 7 (8.2%), respectively. The homozygote GG and the heterozygote AG genotypes were proportionally not different among the cases and control groups; 13 (54.2%) and 11 (45.8%), and 65 (46.4%) and 75 (53.6%), respectively. According to the distribution of interleukin-17A genotypes, a statistically significant difference was observed among cases with the interleukin-17A AA and AG genotypes, p values 0.001 and 0.004, respectively. For the association interleukin-17A genotypes and family history a negatively significant association was reported (95% confidence interval, –0.219, p value = 0.001). There was also a negatively significant association of interleukin-17A genotypes and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (95% confidence interval, −0.141, p value = 0.002). Conclusion: This study is the first study in Sudan established the association between interleukin-17A-197G/A (rs2275913) polymorphisms and susceptibly to rheumatoid arthritis. These findings appeal for further research in Sudan to investigate the exact role of IL-17A in immunopathology and disease severity among Sudanese rheumatoid arthritis

Objective: Some structural abnormalities have been reported on sonography of pancreas in patients with beta-thalassemia which can indicate that the patient is developing diabetes. In this study, the aim was to investigate the findings of pancreatic sonography in patients, with beta-thalassemia major. Methods: This cross-sectional study included information extracted from the medical record and entered into an information form. A cohort of 190 people were split into case and control groups, retrospectively. The required data were extracted from patient’s documents. Data were analyzed with SPSS software, version 22; with the chi-square statistical tests. A P value of < .05 was considered statistically significant. Results: This study consisted of 33 males and 61 females in the case group and 32 males and 64 females in the control group. The most common echogenicity observed during pancreatic sonography, in the control group, was an isoechoic feature (72.3%), followed by hyper and hypoechogenicity (18.1% and 9.6%, respectively). The prevalence of an isoechoic texture in the patient case group was 58.3%, while hyper and hypoechogenicity were seen in 26% and 2.1%, respectively ( P = .070). There was a poor negative correlation between diabetes and pancreatic echogenicity ( P = .002 and r = −.226). Also, there was a poor positive correlation between fasting serum glucose levels and pancreatic echogenicity ( P = .034, n = 96 and r = .217). Conclusion: This study demonstrates, in this patient group, that there was a poor relationship between pancreatic head size with serum ferritin levels and pancreatic echogenicity with diabetes. These results may suggest using sonography to diagnose early stages of diabetes in patients with thalassemia.

Objective: Poor ovarian response (POR) refers to a subnormal follicular response that leads to a decrease in the quality and quantity of the eggs retrieved after ovarian stimulation during assisted reproductive treatment (ART). The present study investigated the associations of multiple variants of the estrogen receptor 2 (ESR2) and follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) genes with POR in infertile Jordanian women undergoing ART.Methods: Four polymorphisms, namely ESR2 rs1256049, ESR2 rs4986938, FSHR rs6165, and FSHR rs6166, were investigated in 60 infertile Jordanian women undergoing ART (the case group) and 60 age-matched fertile women (the control group), with a mean age of 33.60±6.34 years. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected by restriction fragment length polymorphism and then validated using Sanger sequencing.Results: The p-value of the difference between the case and control groups regarding FSHR rs6166 was very close to 0.05 (p=0.054). However, no significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of the other three SNPs, namely ESR2 rs1256049, ESR2 rs4986938, and FSHR rs6165 (p=0.561, p=0.433, and p=0.696, respectively).Conclusion: The association between FSHR rs6166 and POR was not statistically meaningful in the present study, but the near-significant result of this experiment suggests that statistical significance might be found in a future study with a larger number of patients.

Abstract Background In COVID 19 era, the literature on e-learning, or particularly m-learning, has considerably increased focusing on the subject of medical knowledge transfer. Considering the importance of orthopedic knowledge for general practitioners and the inadequacy of the orthopedics internship duration in Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (MUMS), we have developed and investigated a smartphone orthopedic educational application named “Orthobox”. Methods In a quasi-clinical before-after trial study, we investigated the benefits of Orthobox application for medical interns attending MUMS orthopedic departments. A total of 120 students (64 and 56 students in control and case groups respectively) were recruited. The application consists of five main parts of medication, common order samples, common prescriptions, cast and splint types, and educational movies. Students who passed the course without getting access to the application (control group) and students who were also using application during the course (case group) were defined, and comparison was done between them objectively through final exam score comparison and subjectively through Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) questionnaire score comparison. Besides, using case group students’ activity report provided by the application panel, correlational analysis was done on their amount of activity on each of the main parts of the application and the corresponding question exam and VAS score separately. Results The case group of the study generally achieved higher final exam scores, mainly on Order question score (P value<0.001). Total VAS scores were also greater in case group (P value =0.001). It has also been identified that there is a notable positive trend between student’s amount of usage of the application and their final exam scores through correlational analysis. This correlation was not significant about students’ application visit numbers and VAS scores. Conclusion These results suggest that m-learning has got the potential to improve students’ medical knowledge and skills by organizing must-to-learn content specified for intern students of orthopedics on one hand, and cause more satisfaction in students about their education on the other hand. Trial registration This study was not registered because it is a quasi-clinical trial study. Level of evidence Level III (Evidence obtained from well-designed controlled trials without randomization (i.e. quasi-experimental).
