For evaluation of Fulton’s condition factor (CFf), relative body weight (BWr) and form (a3.0) factor affecting growth, 5 fishes (Aspidoparia jaya, Gagata cenia, G. youssoufi, Salmophasia bacaila and S. phulo) were collected from the Atari River in Dinajpur district of Bangladesh. Significant differences (p < 0.05) were recorded among the values of CFf (0.47-1.56) but not for BWr (79.60- 128.39). Based on CFf values, analysis of similarities (ANOSIM, p < 0.01) revealed that maximum distances (R = 0.9946) were found between G. youssoufi and S. bacaila while lowest (R = 0.2175) between G. cenia and S. phulo. Using two-dimensional nMDS scaling of CFf and BWr, G. youssoufi showed good health condition (CFf = 1.22±0.01; BWr = 100.63±0.79) and were separated (stress = 0.0003) from other fishes. Lowest a3.0 value was noted for S. bacaila (0.004) and highest for G. youssoufi (0.012). Therefore, G. youssoufi showed healthier and former body with more adaptability in this river than those of others. These are the first records for proper management of above mentioned fish species and future research in the near future.Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res.53(2), 155-160, 2018

This study was carried out to evaluate the length-weight relationship and condition factor of the Blackspot Catfish Auchenoglanis biscutatus from the Lower River Benue Makurdi, Nigeria. A total of 200 freshly caught specimens of A. biscutatus were collected from the catches of the artisanal fisheries from landing points at Wadata Market in Makurdi, between July and September 2013. The result obtained showed that the “b” value for the males was 1.6698, females (1.6201) and combined sexes (1.7318) indicating a negative allometric growth. Correlation coefficient (r) for males was 0.9524, females (0.9290) and combine sexes (0.9085). Monthly mean condition factor (K), indicated that both sexes of A. biscutatus were in good health condition. It is therefore concluded that findings of this study will be useful in the sustainable management of this species in the lower River Benue.

Onchocerciasis is mainly found in western part of Ethiopia and there is no evidence of transmission in the east ward. However, some zones (Bale, Borena, and West Arsi) are suspected for transmission given the area has fast flowing rivers and is covered with vegetation. Therefore, this study was conducted to map onchocerciasis transmission in those zones. About 19 villages were selected based on proximity to the rivers, representation of districts, zones, and vegetation covers, whereas the study participants, all village residents of age > 5 years with good health condition, were skin sniped and examined using microscopy. In this study a total of 2560 study participants were surveyed of which 1332 were female (52%) and 122 were male (48%). The age group of 21–30 years was highest (34.4%) and that of age > 51 years was the lowest (3.1%) study participants. The survey result revealed that none of the study participants regardless of age, sex, and location demonstrated skin snipOnchocercamicrofilariae. The prevalence of microfilariae and community microfilarial load (CMFL) were 0% and 0 mf/s, respectively. The finding implied that there is no onchocerciasis in the area and, therefore, there is no need for interventions. Black fly distribution, cytotaxonomic study, and intraborder cross transmission monitoring are recommended.

This study investigated the effects of health promotion behavior after self-stretching on scalp care attitude. For this, a questionnaire survey was performed against cosmetologists in Gwangju and Jeollanam-do, and a total of 191 copies were collected. The collected data were analyzed by frequency analysis, descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA, and the results found the followings: First, according to analysis of self-stretching, self-stretching behavior, health promotion behavior and scalp management behavior, 46.6% revealed ‘good health condition’. Specifically, ‘self-stretching behavior’ and ‘health promotion behavior’ accounted for 2.60% and 2.88% respectively. In other words, most respondents have been well aware of their scalp conditions and problems and handled them properly. Second, in terms of age, as the respondents were younger, stretching was less important in self-stretching and self-stretching behavior. In health promotion behavior, on the contrary, as they were older, health promotion behavior improved. The above results confirmed that health promotion through daily self-stretching have a positive effect on the scalp. It is anticipated that the development of scalp care-related programs would enhance satisfaction because of healthy scalp care and a healthy lifestyle.

The study reported in this Research Communication was carried out to examine how parity and milking time affected donkey milk yield under a typical Chinese production system. Eighteen Jiangyue breed donkeys with good health condition, aged between 6 and 9 years, and with parities 3 and 4, were selected. Milk production was measured commencing from the fourth week post-foaling, with a total data collection of 170 d in milk (lactation length). Mean milk yield of the donkeys used in this study was 3·0 kg/donkey/d. Results showed milk yield decreased with days in milk from 3·3 kg/donkey/d at the start of the study, to 2·2 kg/donkey/d by the end of the 170 d. Parity 3 donkeys produced 22% more milk than parity 4 donkeys (3·3 kg/donkey/d vs 2·7 kg/donkey/d). The information provided by this study should aid producers in estimating the expected milk yields from individual donkey, and better predict milk yield over the course of a production cycle.

Large programs of in vitro embryo production have been developed in Brazil, but the results are very variable. The objective of this study was to evaluate managing factors that influence pregnancy rate of recipients in a large embryo transfer program. Results of 1104 embryo transfers performed from November 2008 to February 2009 by Transgen Desenvolvimento e Produção Agropecuária Ltda (Uberlˆndia, Minas Gerais, Brazil) were evaluated. Embryos produced in vitro were used: 1/2 Holstein/Gir embryos (n = 139) or 3/4 Holstein/Gir embryos (n = 961) produced from donors 1/2 Holstein/Gir and Gir with Holstein bull semen. Only excellent (grade 1) quality morulae (stage 4), early blastocysts (stage 5), mid- blastocysts (stage 6), or expanded blastocysts (stage 7) were assigned for fresh transfer using the International Embryo Transfer Society guideline for grading embryos. The heifer recipients were 1/2 crossbred Nelore/Simmental, in good health condition, 20 to 30 months of age, 330 to 400 kg of weight, and were maintained on pasture (Tifton) with mineral supplementation ad libitum. The recipients were synchronized as follows: Day 0-intravaginal device with 1.0 g of progesterone (PRIMER®, Tecnopec, São Paulo, SP, Brazil) +2 mg of estradiol benzoate (ESTROGIN®, Farmavet, São Paulo, SP, Brazil); Day 5-150 μg of D-Cloprostenol (PRELOBAN® Intervet, São Paulo, SP, Brazil) + 400IU of eCG (FOLLIGON®, Intervet); Day 8-progesterone device removed; Day 9-1 mg of estradiol benzoate. On Day 17, nonsurgical embryo transfers were performed by a trained technician and synchronization was confirmed by presence of a CL. The effects of the embryo breed, the number of transfers in each recipient (the heifers that failed to get pregnant were used in the next program), and the transfer sequence (i.e. 20 embryo transfers were performed per hour, and approximately 100 per day) on the pregnancy rate was analyzed by logistic regression with the LOGISTIC procedure of SAS (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA). The breed of embryo (56.9% for 3/4 Holstein/Gir embryos v. 62.6% for 1/2 Holstein/Gir embryos), the number of transfers in each recipient (first: 56.5% v. second: 61.8% v. third: 55.5% v. ≥fourth: 55.0%), and the transfer sequence during the day of the program (first hour: 57.4% v. second hour: 60.0% v. third hour: 58.1% v. ≥fourth hour: 53.8%) did not influence the pregnancy rate. Within the confines of an extensive embryo transfer program with in vitro produced fresh embryos, a large number of embryo transfers can be executed per day without adversely affecting the pregnancy rate if high-quality embryos are used, the transfers are performed by a trained technician, and recipients are in good health condition and synchronized.

The purpose of this study is to explore the opportunities of integrating Islamic Philanthropy and Corporate Social Responsibility Management (CSRM) with Brand Personality concept for enhancing Mudarabah Family Takaful Model. The application of CSRM with the best practice in Islamic Philanthropy has been circulating in recent years. Since Takaful services are only provided to those, who have affordability with a good health condition. But supposedly those have inadequate and suffering from a variety of chronic illnesses, and health problems need more medical and health services. The current practice of this study is to review a practical approach in establishing Islamic Philanthropy and Social Responsibility Concept to Enhance Mudarabah Family Takaful Model in Malaysia. This study is called upon to examine how these marginalized groups can enjoy the same facilities as those who are qualified to get the services and benefits of the Takaful. The CSR Theories refer to the implementation of this model in Malaysian Takaful Industry. It is used to establish the conceptual framework of this study. Theoretically, the current study is perhaps one of the first to explore Islamic Philanthropy and Social Responsibility concept to improve the Mudarabah Family Takaful Model. Practically the study proposes to develop a new model and plan based on the dimensions of the Halal brand personality concept of Purity, Secure, Quality, Beneficial and Religious Compliance for beneficial to all people in Malaysia.

Sclerosing hemangioma of the lung is a rare benign tumor that can metastasize to regional lymph nodes. It is a neoplasm that originates from type II pneumocytes and primitive respiratory epithelium. It is most common in middleaged women in form of peripherally localized node. Tumor is composed of two types of cells, and there are papillary, solid, sclerotic, and hemorrhagic histological pattern. Preoperative and intraoperative diagnosis of the tumor is difficult. In a 53-old female patient, radiologically was discovered hyperdense nodule with smooth margins, which was followed for two years, and then underwent enucleation of the tumor. The tumor was 25 mm in diameter and consisting of round and cuboidal cells. Microscopically, it showed papillary and solid arrangement. Based on immunohistochemical analysis, we made a diagnosis of sclerosing hemangioma of the lung. Three months after surgery, the patient was in good health condition. Because of the numerous differential diagnostic dilemmas, diagnosis is almost always based on permanent paraffin sections, using a wide range of immunohistochemical analysis. Type of surgery depends on the tumor location, and in case of larger tumors, lymph node dissection needs to be done as well.

The SARS-CoV-2 infection has recently been declared a pandemic by the WHO. Most fatalities occur in elderly people with comorbidities. However, SARS-CoV-2 pneumonias do also occur in younger patients with no comorbidities or risk factors at all. We report here on one of the “early” cases that occurred in Germany. A 57-year-old man was infected and developed pneumonia after a skiing vacation in Northern Italy. Other members of the travel group also fell ill, but only showed flu-like symptoms. Only a few if any infections originated from the affected person; at this point in time the infection situation in the region could still be grasped. Under supportive measures, the disease developed positively despite impressive radiological findings. The positive course is likely also due to the age of the person affected and the lack of any risk factors. The case does also exemplify thata good health condition does not necessarily protect from acquiring a moderately severe SARS-CoV-2 infection.
