Aim. Study of the dependence of mortality from CVD on helio-seismic indicators in the Shamakhi region of the Republic of Azerbaijan.Materials and methods. 352 case histories of patients who died in 2013 from various diseases were reviewed. The relationship was established between the number of deaths, their causes, distribution by sex and age with the magnitude of earthquakes, the depth of the epicenter and seismological activity by months. The data obtained were statistically processed using the Statistica 12.0 for Windows software package (Statsoft Inc., USA). To establish correlations, Pearson Chi-Square Tests was calculated, the results were considered reliable at p <0.05.Results. Statistically significant (p <0.001) more deaths were observed at the age of 80-89 years in men, and at the age of 70-79 years in women. Also, the relationship between mortality and the depth of the seismic process and the magnitude of the earthquake was established, in particular, the greatest number of deaths was observed at a depth of the seismic process <10 km and with a magnitude of 1.1-2.0 ml. In all months, the number of deaths was higher with a magnitude of 1.1-2.0 Ml. Statistically significant (p <0.005) was the fact that the nosology of the studied diseases was dependent on the age of the patients. Thus, a greater number of deaths in all age groups accounted for heart failure. A statistically significant (p <0.005) dependence of the depth of the seismic process on the month of death of patients was established, in particular, for all months, deaths coincided with the depth of the process less than 10 km. At the age of 40-70 years, a significantly greater number of deaths were from heart failure in men, and from 70 years and above in women.Conclusion. Thus, there is a close correlation between geomagnetic changes and mortality from CVD, which is realized in the form of an increase in the frequency of cases and deaths, and the number of these cases increases with the age of patients and changes in the magnitude and depth of the earthquake.

Abstract Background: Enterocytozoon bieneusi is the most common species of microsporidia that can infect humans and various animals worldwide. To date, information on the prevalence and genotypes of E. bieneusi infection in cattle in the Republic of Korea is limited. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence and genotypes of E. bieneusi circulating in pre-weaned Korean native calves and determine the age pattern of E. bieneusi infection and the relationship between E. bieneusi and diarrhea. Results: The overall prevalence of E. bieneusi was 16.9% (53/314) in pre-weaned calves by PCR. The prevalence of E. bieneusi was the highest in September (36.2%), followed by March (28.3%). E. bieneusi infection (c 2 = 5.82, P = 0.016) was associated with diarrhea in calves. The present results indicated that E. bieneusi infection was statistically associated with calf age (c 2 = 11.61, P = 0.003); the prevalence of E. bieneusi was significantly higher in calves aged 21-40 days (odds ratio = 2.90, 95% confidence interval: 1.54-5.45; P = 0.001) than in those aged 1-20 days. Interestingly, E. bieneusi infection showed an association with diarrhea only in calves aged 1-20 days (c 2 = 5.82, P = 0.010). Five genotypes, BEB4 ( n = 12), BEB8 ( n = 23), CHN6 ( n = 1), I ( n = 1), and J ( n = 16), were identified, and all these genotypes belonged to Group 2. The genotype BEB8 was the most prevalent in all age groups regardless of diarrhea. On the other hand, the genotype I was identified only in one calf aged 10 days with diarrhea. Except for CHN6, the four other genotypes were mostly observed in cattle, and all of them have zoonotic potential. Conclusions: This is the first report of the genotypes BEB4 and CHN6 in pre-weaned Korean native calves. The results revealed the presence of zoonotic E. bieneusi in pre-weaned Korean native calves, demonstrating that cattle may play an important role as a reservoir host in E. bieneusi transmission to humans.

e12042 Background: Angiomyolipoma (AML) are common benign neoplasm in the kidney, and are associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). The objectives of this study were to examine AML prevalence among TSC patients in a real world setting, and to explore the relationship between AML prevalence and ages, genders, or residential regions. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted based on a large US commercial healthcare claims database. Patients with a TSC claim between 2000 and 2009 and with continuous 12-month enrollment after their first TSC claim were selected for the study. AML patients were identified based on ICD-9CM code (223.0X). Patients’ genders, residential regions, and age on their first TSC/or AML claim (if they had AML) were derived respectively from enrollment files and healthcare claims. Two-sample t tests and Chi-square tests were used to explore the relationships between AML prevalence, genders, residential regions and the age groups. Results: The study included 2,767 TSC patients with a mean age of 28.5 years on their first TSC claims, and 55.3% were female. AML prevalence among TSC patients was 7.8% in their first observed post-TSC year, and could be 78% at the end of the 10th observed post-TSC year if AML incidence rate (701.1 per 10,000 TSC patient years) remains constant. Associations between AML prevalence and age groups, genders, or residential regions were statistically significant (all p<0.05); and variations of AML prevalence by genders (Male: 5.6 vs. Female: 9.7%), residential regions (6.2-9.4%) and age groups at the first TSC claim (3.9% for age<1 year, 5.2% for age 1-5 years, 10.6% for 6-10 years, 8.4% for age 11-18 years, 13.6% for age 19-25 years, and 6.9% for age 26 years or more) were observed. Conclusions: In a real world setting AML occurred in 7.8% TSC patients in the first post-TSC year, and could increase to 78% within 10 years if the incidence rate remained at 701.1 per 10,000 TSC patient years. AML prevalence was associated with age, gender and residential regions, and varied significantly by ages, genders and residential regions. Further research is needed to explore the factors that resulted into these associations.

The research is based on the theory of social learning and cognition proposed by Albert Bandura, the main objective is find the relationship between sexual intelligence and self-esteem in adults. The methodology used was of a quantitative approach, of a non-experimental type, with a cross-sectional design and an associative correlational scope; For this, a non-probabilistic convenience sample of 384 adults in the city of Quito, Ecuador was used. For data collection, a sociodemographic survey designed by the researchers was used, the Sheree Conrad and Michael Milburn Sexual Intelligence Test and the Rosemberg Self-Esteem Scale for adults. To test the hypothesis, the Chi-Square test was used; whose p-value = .000, which is why the null hypothesis (𝐻𝑜) was rejected, and it is affirmed that there is a relationship between sexual intelligence and self-esteem. To complement this information, Cramer's V correlation coefficient was used, the result of which is V = .263, which means that the relationship between the variables is weak. Therefore, it is concluded that despite having a moderately low sexual intelligence, self-esteem is good, besides, that self-esteem is mostly good for people with age ranges over 40 years regarding age groups older. young boys. Keywords: sexual intelligence, self-esteem, adults.

Abstract: Seborrheic dermatitis is a type of papulosquamous dermatitis with predilection in areas with many sebaceous glands, scalp, face, and body. This disease is associated with immunological disorders, but ieven more with Malassezia. Seborrheic dermatitis can occur in all age groups, but is usually separated into two age groups: infants and adults. Seborrheic dermatitis has many precipitating factors, especially high oil levels and humidity. One of the trigger factors is the use of hair styling which triggers the oil production on the surface of scalp as well as hair. The occurence of excessive oil on the scalp and hair long time can cause dandruff and irritation. This study was aimed to determine the relationship between hair styling and the incidence of seborrheic dermatitis in male students at Sam Ratulangi University in Manado. This was an analytical study with a cross sectional design. Data were obtained by using questionnaires and anamnesis. The results showed that of the 25 respondents, 9 students had dandruff and 16 students did not. The chi-square test analyzing the relationship between hair styling and the incidence of seborrhoic dermatitis obtained a P value of 0.332. Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between hair styling use and the incidence of seborrheic dermatitisKeywords: hair styling, seborrheic dermatitis, male college students Abstrak: Dermatitis seboroik adalah salah satu jenis dermatitis papuloskuamosa dengan predileksi di daerah yang banyak kelenjar sebasea, skalp, wajah dan badan.

Medication adherence in patients with heart failure is very important. Previous study, the low level of medication adherence in patients with heart failure can increase the risk of recurrence of the patient, thereby increasing the rehospitalization and mortality. This study was conducted to evaluate existing programs in heart failure clinic. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the incidence of medication adherence with the incidence of rehospitalization and mortality in patients with heart failure. Retrospective cohort study conducted using medical record data from the Heart Failure Clinic in dr Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung between October 2018 to July 2020. This study involved 77 people with a diagnosis of CHF and had attended a minimum of 6 months of the heart failure clinic program at Dr Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung. Descriptive statistics were used to describe demographic characteristics such as age, gender, and NYHA class. Chi-square analysis was used to analyze the relationship between medication adherence, the incidence of rehospitalization and mortality. Result, demographic data, there are 55 (71.4%) adults and 22 (28.6%) elderly, male 50 (64.9%) and female 27 (35.1%), NYHA I 32 people (41.6%), NYHA II 26 (33.8%), NYHA III 7 (9.1%), NYHA IV 12 (15.6%). Non-adherence 8 (10,4%), rehospitalizayion 20 (26%), and mortality 18 (23,4%). Based on the chi-square statistical analysis, there was a relationship with the incidence of rehospitalization (p <0.001) and there was a relationship with mortality (p <0.002). This study has research limitations, because the data obtained is only based on medical record data. Medication adherence was associated with rehospitalization and mortality. It is important to develop interventions to improve medication adherence. This study is the most recent study conducted at the Heart Failure Clinic Dr Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung, and can be used as an evaluation of the program that has been carried out.

Abstract Little is known about the risk of hospitalization for cardiovascular disease after influenza infection in younger adults. This Hong Kong territory-wide study using clinical registry data between 1997 and 2017 examined the association between influenza-associated hospitalizations and the risk of subsequent hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) in 3 age groups: 18–44, 45–65, and &gt;65 years. The exposure was defined as any infection with influenza virus as a primary principal diagnosis for hospitalization, whereas the non-exposed control comprised hospitalizations for elective orthopedic surgery. Logistic regression was used to determine the risk for HHF within 12 months of hospital discharge comparing the exposed versus non-exposed groups. Results showed that influenza-associated hospitalization in the preceding 12 months was associated with increased risks for subsequent HHF in all age groups (all P &lt;0.001). Of note, the 18–44 age group was found to have the highest elevated risk for HHF (adjusted odds ratio = 14.90, 95% confidence interval: 4.48, 49.58). In view of the relatively small number of subsequent HHF episodes in this age group, future studies are needed to confirm the elevated risk in this group and explore the role of age in the relationship between influenza-associated hospitalization and subsequent HHF.

Aim. To study the dependence of cardiovascular diseases mortality on geophysical and seismic indicators in the Sheki region of the Azerbaijan Republic.Material and methods. In 2013, seismological information was obtained from 35 telemetry stations, which included a review of the seismic setting of the republic, the distribution of seismic waves, the dynamics of seismic processes, the intensity of earthquakes, magnitude, etc. Based on the spatial distribution of the focal zones identifi ed by weak seismicity and the magnitudes of the maximum possible earthquakes in them, a map of the seismic hazard of the territory of Azerbaijan was compiled. To analyze the connection with diseases in the Sheki region, 742 case histories of patients (48.8% — 362 men and 51.2% — 380 women) who died in 2013 from various diseases, were analyzed.Results and discussion. Statistically signifi cant (p < 0.001), more deaths among men were from acute coronary syndrome (63.3%), from acute heart failure (46.0%) and from hypertensive crisis (HС) (45.3%). 59.3% died from acute cerebrovascular accident, 54.7% died from a hypertensive crisis and 54,0% from acute heart failure among women. Statistically signifi cant number of deaths was in the age range of 70–79 years old and 80–89 years old.The largest number of deaths was at a depth of 11–20 km — 20.6%, 21–30 km — 16.7%, less than 10 km — 10.5%. When the depth of the process was less than 10 km, the largest percentage of mortality was from acute coronary syndrome — 24.4%, with the depth of 11–20 km — from hypertensive process (40.5%); 24.2% died from heart failure.Conclusion. Thus, there is a close correlation between geomagnetic changes and CVD mortality in Sheki region of Azerbaijan. It is realized in the form of an increase in the frequency of cases and deaths, and the number of these cases is highly dependent on patients’ age.

. Modern realities taking place in the world prove that the quality of the living environment affects the health and mortality of the population. The Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing in Russia conducts social and hygienic monitoring in all constituent entities of the country, but not in the context of regional municipalities. The state reports “On the state of sanitary and epidemiological welfare in the Russian Federation” do not provide a report on the relationship between the factors of water, atmospheric air, soil and the incidence of the population by age groups. Obvious gaps in the reports dictate the need to assess the relationship between the indicators of the environment and the incidence of the population in the municipalities of the region. After all, each region of Russia has its own uniqueness and its own environment. The object of the research is the Komi Republic, where the analysis of the causes of illness and mortality in the whole republic carried out now. An assessment of the primary morbidity and mortality of the adult population according to the International Classification of Diseases — 10 revisions to identify risk areas for all municipalities of the Komi Republic for 2014–2019 is given. For this, a rating calculation method applied. The prevailing classes of diseases identified and analyzed. The research results formulated.
