Eimeria Infection

Eimeria is a genus of apicomplexan parasites that infected various species and known as the enteric monoxenous coccidian. This study aims to determine the prevalence, identification and geographical distribution study of gastrointestinal protozoa Eimeria spp. in wild rodents in Malang city, East Java. A total of 74 rodents were collected from different part of Malang, using single live traps. Rats were euthanized with ketamine and xylazine. Samples of stools were taken from gastrointestinal tract. Coprological procedure using floatation method lead to the demonstration of Eimeria spp. oocysts in the faecal samples examined at 400 and 1000 magnifications of light microscope. Cultivation in dichromate potassium 2.5% was carried out for all of coccidian positive samples. The identification is based on morphology and morphometry. Eimeria identification data was analyzed descriptively, while the analysis of species and gender of rodents on prevalence used chi square. Result, the prevalence of Eimeria spp. in Malang is 11 (14.9%). It was suggesting coccidiosis caused by Eimeria nieschulzi. In addition, Chi square analysis showed that species of rats did not have a significant relationship (P>0.05) to the incidence of Eimeria infection, however it has significant correlation between gender of rats and Eimeria infection (P<0.05). The geographical of Eimeria spp. spots were showed in 8 Sampling area, in Lowokwaru, Klojen, Kedung kandang and Sukun sub district. Findings of this study showed that wild rodents in Malang city are infected with intestinal coccidian parasites.

Abstract Child maltreatment is a severe Public Health issue. To understand its associated factors, our study analyzed 14.564 cases of child maltreatment recorded in the state of Rio Grande do Sul between 2010 and 2014. In our study, we analyzed immediate contextual aspects (child’s gender and developmental stage, perpetrator’s gender, family relationship between the victim and the perpetrator) and intermediate aspects (health professionals’ response). Chi-square analysis showed that girls were more likely to be vulnerable to sexual and psychological abuse, especially in middle childhood. Boys, on the other hand, were more likely to experience neglect in infancy and physical abuse in middle childhood. Males were the main perpetrators. Our results are discussed, based on a theoretical review of the sociocultural conceptions of child developmental characteristics, parenting practices, and gender roles. We suggest changes in the notification process and case referral.

e22184 Background: Heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is known to be caused by the presence of PF 4 antibody. Tumors exert immunomodulatory effects on the host immune response, including development of antibodies. Our aim was to analyze the presence of HIT in cancer patients and determine if HIT Ab is an adverse risk factor in patients with cancer. Methods: Patients with suspected HIT were selected. A case – control study was designed with 1:1 age and gender matched controls. We used chi – square analysis to compare proportions and Cox proportional hazard model to detect various predictors. Time to survival analysis was performed using Kaplan – Meier method. Results: Of 600 patients, 300 (63±15 years, women 48.8%) had a mean 4T pre – probability score of 4 ± 1.6. There were 132 cancers in both groups. 65 of these (49.2%) were in patients with probable HIT. The numbers of carcinomas and sarcomas were not significantly different between the two groups. There were no significant differences between the two groups when comparing the number of cancer diagnoses or the particular types of cancer diagnosed. The mean time to detection of cancer was within 9 ± 23 months for patients with HIT Ab versus 31 ± 54 months in cancer patients without HIT Ab (p <0.0001). In addition, there was a greater number of patients with at least 2 primary cancers among the HIT Ab positive group (p = 0.003). No predictive relationship between the type of cancer and the presence of HIT Ab was found (p >0.05). Patients with advanced cancer (stage 3 or 4) were also more likely to be HIT Ab positive (HR 3.61; 95% CI 1.31 – 10.11, p = 0.013). Cancer patients with HIT Ab were more likely to have venous thromboembolism as compared to cancer patients without HIT Ab (7.7% vs. 4.7, p = 0.0001). Kaplan – Meier’s showed worse mortality for cancer patients with HIT Ab than patients without the HIT Ab (Breslow statistic = 0.04). Conclusions: Among our cohort with suspected HIT, cancer was a common finding. Patients with HIT antibody positivity were more likely to have a new cancer diagnosis within 1 year of a positive result. These patients were also more likely to have thromboembolic complications and worsened mortality. These findings require further study, but perhaps suggest that the presence of HIT Ab should trigger earlier surveillance for cancer.

Bangkok, Thailand is in a unique position to benefit economically and has become one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, due to its function as a hub for international travel in Southeast Asia. Thus, this study examines how past experiences, age, income, gender, education level, occupation, and regions affect international tourists’ reasons to visit Bangkok. After conducting chi-square analysis on 400 participants, significant differences were found among the varying income levels, occupations, education levels, and regions of origin and their reasons for visiting Bangkok. However, no significant differences were found based on age and gender regarding reasons to visit Bangkok. As far as regions of origin, Europeans were most likely to visit Bangkok as a stopover in route to another destination. This lays the foundations for further research focusing on what Bangkok can do to increase their status as a destination for European travelers.

Background: Adequate nutrition plays an important roles for children on school age to developed and maintain their growth and health. Many factors could affect the nutritional status of school children, one of them is the school location.Objectives: To analysis the correlation between school location with nutritional status of elementary school students.Method: The research design used was a cross-sectional design. 80 subjects were observed from two different schools namely SDN 1 Cikelet Garut (Urban) and SDN Pesanggrahan 02 Pagi Jakarta Selatan (Rural). The relationship of school location and gender with nutritional status were analyzed using Chi Square. Independent Sample T-test used to analyze nutritional status based on different locations.Result: In rural there are 25% of children with over nutritional status (weight/age). There are still stunted child both in urban (7.50%) and rural (10%), but based on weight/height nutritional status, almost all subjects in both urban (92.50%) and rural (97.50%) in obese category. Chi Square analysis showed that the school location was significantly related (P 0.05) only with the weight/age nutritional status. Gender is significantly related to height/age nutritional status. The majority of boys (15,4%) are shorter than girls (2,4%). The results of the Independent Sample T-test based on location, showed that the nutritional status of subjects in urban was significantly different (P0.05) from the nutritional status of subjects in rural. In line with this, based in gender there is significantly different (P0.05) in nutritional status between boy and girl.Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that differences in school locations are related to the nutritional status of elementary school students.

Background. External ear measurement is of utmost importance in reconstructive surgeries. Objectives. The present study is aimed at ascertaining sexual dimorphism in external ear anthropometry and ear lobe attachments among adults Ijaws in Bayelsa, Nigeria. Methods. A total of 112 adults within the age range of 18-50 yrs, who met the inclusion criteria, were involved in the study. Four linear dimensions of the ear, which are ear length (EL), ear width (EW), lobular length (LL) and lobular width (LW), were measured for both genders. The lobular attachment for both ears for males and females were also examined and results recorded. These data were subjected to Student t-test, Chi-square test, and Pearson’s correlation using SPSS version 20.0. Results. The mean values for EL, EW, LL, and LW for the left auricle in the males and females were 58.14±0.60, 27.41±0.37, 14.47±0.27, 13.50±0.34 and 57.90±0.16, 27.45±0.65, 15.41±0.31, 13.43±0.38 respectively. However, for the right auricle in the males and females, the values were 58.40±0.45, 28.21±0.68, 14.32±0.31, 13.04±0.32, and 56.66±1.10, 27.51±0.65, 15.58±0.29, 13.28±0.34 respectively. The left and right lobular length were the only parameters that proved statistical significance (p<0.05) in females compare to males. Pearson’s correlations between right and left sides for each of the parameters were positive and significant. Chi-square analysis revealed no significant relationship (p>0.05) between earlobe attachments and gender. Conclusions. Sexual dimorphism was thus established in the Ijaw population as regards lobular length dimensions. It is believed that the results of this study would be very useful for ear morphology and reconstructive surgeries.

A survey of 501 alumni with disabilities who attended the University of Illinois during the forty-year period from 1948 to 1988 indicated gender is a major factor in the career choices and the occupational outcomes of university graduates. Chi-square analysis revealed significant relationships between gender and marital status (p < .05), gender and choice of major (p < .01), gender and occupational category (p<.01), gender and parttime or fulltime employment (p < .01), and gender and salary level (p < .01). There was no significant relationship between gender and disability type or gender and employment/unemployment. On the basis of this survey of college alumni, one could conclude gender has a more significant impact on career choice and career development than do the physical or sensory disabilities of college students.

Despite the evidence-based health benefits of pulses and their significant role in sustainable diets, consumption remains at a very low level in highly developed countries. In an attempt to fill in the knowledge gaps on factors influencing this phenomenon, a study aimed at identifying attitudes, incentives and barriers to pulse consumption was carried out in a sample of 1027 Polish urban employees aged 25–40 years. The sample (quota type) was representative in terms of age and gender. Exploratory classifications using Kohonen neural networks were performed to define profiles of participants for each analysed issue. Pearson’s chi-square analysis was used to check whether the profiles depended on socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents. The results suggest that very low pulse consumption is a result of lack of habits, discomfort after eating and long preparation time. Pulses were recognized as a good source of protein (72% of the sample), especially among women (81%). Only 43% of the sample saw pulses as a substitute for meat. The majority of consumers pictured pulses as a tasty and healthy food, although they were not sure if this is true for small children. Women recognised pulses as a more environmentally friendly food but this knowledge would not impact their intake. Profiles of respondents with positive attitudes towards increased pulse consumption were identified, constituting 39% of the sample. These consumers could eat more if they were encouraged to do so. This shows that programmes aimed at fostering greater pulse consumption are crucial to activate a change towards more sustainable diets. At the same time, simple and clear guidelines should be developed to overcome the unjustified stereotypes about pulses. These would support consumers to make healthier and more sustainable choices and help professionals carry out effective promotion and education activities.
