Organophosphate compounds in insect repellent have a role in contributing to mosquito mortality but have toxic effects for humans when exposed for a long time. The research is aimed to analyze the effect of insect repellent exposure in blood leukocyte profile and histopathologic findings in lungs. The study used thirty males Rattus novergicus, which were divided into three groups, such as electric liquid insect repellent (P1) with contain 0.031% dimefluthrin, anti-mosquito coils (P2) with 0.014% dimefluthrin, and electric mat mosquito repellent with 0.566% dimefluthrin for 8 hours in 20 days respectively. Leukocyte profiles were determined by using the blood smear method, and the lung’s health was identified by histopathologic findings. Based on the results study showed mosquito coils exposure increase the lymphocytes count. Meanwhile, the electric liquid-repellent increased the basophil’s numbers. The electric mat exposure had more eosinophils, neutrophils stab, neutrophils segment, and monocytes in the blood. The leukocyte profile of each group showed there were no statistically significant differences (P-value > 0.05). Based on histopathology, lung findings showed that the electric mat exposure contributed to cells degeneration 7.5% and pleural thickening 30%. The higher dimefluthrin concentrations in insect repellents could affect leukocyte profile and lungs health.

Malaria is known as an endemic disease that often causes death in Indonesia, especially in Papua. The malaria cases control in Papua has not been carried on based on data studies, therefore bionomic of Anopheles sp is important to be studied. Bionomics data are consisted of breeding places, resting places and feeding habits are from direct observation. Interviews and questionnaires were conducted to gain information about respondent behavior. Descriptive and qualitative data were then analyzed. The breeding places of Anopheles sp. were mostly found in swampy areas. Based on the feeding habit, the feeding activity of Anopheles sp. inside the house has only one biting peak at 23.00-02.00 WIT, while outside the house, biting peaks occurred at 21.00-22.00 WIT and 00.00-01.00 WIT. Resting place data shown that Anopheles sp. mostly found in piles of clothes and shoe racks. Recorded factors that affect mosquitos bionomics are temperature, humidity, salinity, pH, community behavior, and the presence of livestock. Environmental factors (temperature, humidity, salinity, and pH), habitual behavior of host (3M action, the habit of using insect repellent, mosquito repellent, and mosquito nets), the presence of livestock, and the type of bait blood type affect mosquito activity.

Local health companies have been trying to report quantitative and qualitative information through social reporting tools for a long time. The OECD has been questioning for quite some time how to evaluate satisfaction and quality by not considering the economic aspect alone in the quest for satisfying the needs of the citizen. The aim of the work is to evaluate how the compound indicator of well-being perceived by the population and the composite indicator of the quality of health services can be used to define health policies considering the incidence of other variables. In the analysis, it is therefore assessed how much the two indicators are related and linked to other variables that need to be considered and how independent indicators are used without further evaluations to target policies. The data are updated to October 18, 2017. All statistical analyses were performed using STATA V.13 (Stata Corp, College Station, Texas, USA, 2013) and p value <0.05 was considered significant for all analyses. The sample is made up of 35 OECD countries.

The Impact

Abstract Background: While there is strong evidence that permethrin-treated clothing and topical insect repellents are protective against insect bites, there are few studies assessing the impact on malaria infection. This study will evaluate the impact of the protective efficacy of bite prevention methods on the incidence of malaria infection among military personnel in an operational setting. Permethrin-treated uniforms will be compared to etofenprox-treated uniforms, with both clothing treatments used in conjunction with DEET insect repellent. An additional study arm will test permethrin uniforms with placebo lotion to determine if there is any additional protective effect of using DEET with insecticide-treated clothing. Method: A cluster randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial is planned to evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions on preventing malaria infections in soldiers on active duty at Mgambo National Service Camp in Tanga, Tanzania. The arms are (1) permethrin-treated uniform with 30% DEET liposome formula; (2) permethrin-treated uniform with placebo lotion; (3) candidate insect repellent system, i.e., etofenprox-treated uniform with 30% DEET liposome formula; and (4) placebo, i.e., untreated uniforms with placebo lotion. The primary outcome is the incidence of Plasmodium falciparum malaria infection detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) by active case detection using surveys every 2 weeks for 12 months. Rapid diagnostic tests will be used for diagnosis of participants with symptoms. The unit of randomisation will be combania: companies formed by recruits aged 18 to 25 years; combania do activities together and sleep in the same dormitory. Unequal randomisation will be used to optimise statistical power for the primary comparison between permethrin-treated uniforms with DEET and etofenprox-treated uniforms with DEET. Discussion: This trial will estimate the effects of permethrin with DEET compared to those of the new fabric treatment etofenprox with DEET and any additional effect of using DEET. The results will inform strategies to protect military personnel and civilians who have more outdoor or occupational malaria exposure than the general public.

Background: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal myeloid proliferative disorder of primitive haemopoietic progenitor cells. The incidence of CML ranges between 10 and 15 cases/106 /year without any major geographic or ethnic differences. Imatinib mesylate provides good results in the treatment of CML. Early studies demonstrated that Imatinib mesylate can produce clear hematologic and cytogenetic response when used as a treatment of CML patients with positive BCR-ABL gene. Nevertheless, some patient with different stages of CML (chronic, accelerated, or acute phases) either relapse or stay unchanged for a long time after initial doses of treatment. This phenomenon led to the fact that we must explore the possible changes expected to appear if we make some changes in the treatment strategy. Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate hematologic and molecular responses of CML patients to Imatinib mesylate treatment. Methods: Eighteen CML patients in chronic phase aged (24–65 years) males and females were treated with Imatinib mesylate (400, 500 or 600 mg/day) for sixteen months. Hematologic and cytogenetic changes were analyzed periodically. Results: Overall 18 cases, hematologic response of 14 cases was complete white blood cells (WBCs) decrease to normal range within 4 months) with P value of less than 0.0001 whereas in 4 cases WBCs were decreased slowly (after 8 months). A major cytogenetic response was noticed in 4 cases while in others the response was partially or in minor range. The major hematologic and cytogenetic response was noticed when using 600mg/day of Imatinib mesylate. The correlation appeared as a significant positive correlation between the treatment doses and Hb, hematocrit, MCV, MCH, esinophils%, and monocytes %. And a significant negative correlation between the treatment doses and RDW %, platelets count, WBCs count, and basophils %. On the other hand, no correlation between the treatment doses and RBCs Count, MCHC, Neutrophil % and BCR/APL ratio % Conclusion: It can be concluded that treatment of CML patients with Imatinib mesylate caused complete WBCs decrease to normal range. The major hematologic and cytogenetic response was noticed when using a higher dose of Imatinib mesylate.

Monitoring lakes in high-latitude areas can provide a better understanding of freshwater systems sensitivity and accrete knowledge on climate change impacts. Phytoplankton are sensitive to various conditions: warmer temperatures, earlier ice-melt and changing nutrient sources. While satellite imagery can monitor phytoplankton biomass using chlorophyll a (Chl) as a proxy over large areas, detection of Chl in small lakes is hindered by the low spatial resolution of conventional ocean color satellites. The short time-series of the newest generation of space-borne sensors (e.g., Sentinel-2) is a bottleneck for assessing long-term trends. Although previous studies have evaluated the use of high-resolution sensors for assessing lakes’ Chl, it is still unclear how the spatial and temporal variability of Chl concentration affect the performance of satellite estimates. We discuss the suitability of Landsat (LT) 30 m resolution imagery to assess lakes’ Chl concentrations under varying trophic conditions, across extensive high-latitude areas in Finland. We use in situ data obtained from field campaigns in 19 lakes and generate remote sensing estimates of Chl, taking advantage of the long-time span of the LT-5 and LT-7 archives, from 1984 to 2017. Our results show that linear models based on LT data can explain approximately 50% of the Chl interannual variability. However, we demonstrate that the accuracy of the estimates is dependent on the lake’s trophic state, with models performing in average twice as better in lakes with higher Chl concentration (>20 µg/L) in comparison with less eutrophic lakes. Finally, we demonstrate that linear models based on LT data can achieve high accuracy (R2 = 0.9; p-value < 0.05) in determining lakes’ mean Chl concentration, allowing the mapping of the trophic state of lakes across large regions. Given the long time-series and high spatial resolution, LT-based estimates of Chl provide a tool for assessing the impacts of environmental change.
