antial amounts of variance in the final abundance estimates whereas uncertainty in mean group size contributed a negligible amount. Our method provides a Bayesian alternative to DSMs that incorporates much of the flexibility available in the Two-Stage Method. In addition, these results demonstrate the degree to which uncertainty can be underestimated if certain components of a DSM are assumed fixed. ©2020 Sigourney et al.The need for conservation scientists to produce research of greater relevance to practitioners is now increasingly recognized. This study provides an example of scientists working alongside practitioners and policy makers to address a question of immediate relevance to elephant conservation in Malaysia and using the results to inform wildlife management policy and practice including the National Elephant Conservation Action Plan for Peninsular Malaysia. Since ensuring effective conservation of elephants in the Endau Rompin Landscape (ERL) in Peninsular Malaysia is difficult without data on population parameters we (1) conducted a survey to assess the size of the elephant population, (2) used that information to assess the viability of the population under different management scenarios including translocation of elephants out of the ERL (a technique long used in Malaysia to mitigate human-elephant conflict (HEC)), and (3) assessed a number of options for managing the elephant population and HEC in the future.ocus on adaptive management. ©2020 Saaban et al.Allosaurus is one of the best known theropod dinosaurs from the Jurassic and a crucial taxon in phylogenetic analyses. On the basis of an in-depth, firsthand study of the bulk of Allosaurus specimens housed in North American institutions, we describe here a new theropod dinosaur from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of Western North America, Allosaurus jimmadseni sp. nov., based upon a remarkably complete articulated skeleton and skull and a second specimen with an articulated skull and associated skeleton. The present study also assigns several other specimens to this new species, Allosaurus jimmadseni, which is characterized by a number of autapomorphies present on the dermal skull roof and additional characters present in the postcrania. In particular, whereas the ventral margin of the jugal of Allosaurus fragilis has pronounced sigmoidal convexity, the ventral margin is virtually straight in Allosaurus jimmadseni. The paired nasals of Allosaurus jimmadseni possess bilateral, blade-like crests along the lateral margin, forming a pronounced nasolacrimal crest that is absent in Allosaurus fragilis. © 2020 Chure and Loewen.Introduction Obesity is an important health concern worldwide and is a growing problem in Iran. Adolescent obesity has a major role in development of adulthood obesity and its complications. The present study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of overweight, obesity, and associated risk factors in female adolescents living in Tehran, Iran. Methods This cross-sectional study was carried out among 2,132 female adolescents aged 14-17 years in Tehran recruited between 2017 and 2018. Weight and height were measured and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Underweight, overweight, and obesity were considered as less then 5th, ≥ 85th, and ≥ 95th percentile, respectively, of CDC BMI-for age and sex criteria. Adolescents and their mothers filled in the questionnaires on physical activity, computer use, duration of breastfeeding, total sleep time, and family socioeconomic status. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 22.0 software. P less then 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Retus were associated with overweight and obesity prevalence.Introduction Information on microbiological and susceptibility profiles of Monoglian bacterial isolates is scarce. Resistance profiles, patient demographics and microbiological work-up of gram positive isolates were analyzed in order to develop infection control activities and policies at the National Center for Maternity and Children's Health (NCMCH) in Ulaanbataar, Mongolia. Methods All gram positive isolates of specimens submitted to the microbiology laboratory at NCMCH between January 2014 and August 2017 were included. Data collected included demographic data, specimen type, in-/outpatient status, hospital ward of sample origin, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing profile. Susceptibility testing was performed by trained microbiologists at the NCMCH microbiology laboratory. T-test, Mann-Whitney, Chi-square and Fisher exact tests were used as appropriate. Results Of 11,889 isolates, 4012 (33.7%) were gram positive, with most identified as S. aureus (62.6%, n=2512). Rates of methicillin resistance (MRSe reliable identification of relevant pathogens in Mongolia.Introduction Hydatid cyst is caused by an infection by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. Patients with cystic echinococcosis often remain asymptomatic until the hydatid cysts grow large enough to cause symptoms and signs. The cysts grow in the course of several years before reaching maturity and the rate of growth depends on the location of the cyst. Methods This study was conducted in the Central region of Iran and involved all patients diagnosed with hydatid disease from 2012 to 2016 with the records identifed from 10 centers for disease control. Descriptive statistics including range and percentage were used in analyzing the patient characteristics. ABBV-2222 Results Hydatid disease was confirmed in 84 cases. The mean age of patients was (23.1±5.1) years (range 15-53 years) and 55.9% of cases were female. Single organ involvement was found in 86.9% of cases. 98.8% cases were successfully treated. The most common sites of infection were lung (42.9%), followed by liver (38.1%), and joint liver/lung (10.7%). The diagnosis was established by abdominal ultrasound, abdominal CT, and serology in all patients. The diagnosis was confirmed by histology in 80 (95.2%) of cases. All of cases were treated with albendazole, and 80 (95.2%) of cases had surgical intervention. The prevalence of human hydatidosis in our study was 1.16 per 100,000 population. Conclusions Hydatid disease is common in Iran and should be a focus of public health interventions. The organ sites affected in this study include lung and liver.Introduction Public awareness of osteoporosis is low among women in the developing countries. Health education was shown to be effective in improving knowledge and awareness on maintaining bone health. This study aims to identify the level of knowledge and attitudes among post-menopausal women in Malaysia on achieving bone health throughout the menopausal transition period. Methods A total of 116 post-menopausal female patients of orthopedic menopause clinic were recruited using a purposive sampling approach. Data on osteoporosis awareness and knowledge were collected using validated structured questionnaires Osteoporosis Prevention and Awareness Tool and Osteoporosis Attitude Knowledge Test. The chi-square test was used to determine the association between post-menopausal women's socio-demographic characteristics and their knowledge and attitude towards maintaining bone health. Results Participants' age ranged between 49 and 82 years (61.84, SD=7.87). The knowledge of osteoporosis varied significantly by age (p=0.014) and education (p=0.001) among the studied population. No significant diffrences were found for participants' attitude towards bone health. Conclusion This study showed that the age and education levels have significantly different knowledge of bone health.Pediatric cases of a brainstem glioma are one of the most difficult tumors to treat. In children, this type of cancer is perhaps the most dreaded of cancers due to its poor prognosis, yet it remains an area of intense research. In the case presented herein, conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments were not showing any improvement. The patient was then treated with high-dose intravenous vitamin C (IVC) and endolaser therapy. A significant reduction in glioma's size was achieved in 2 months with this adjunct therapy. These results present a possibility of decreasing brainstem glioma progression with adjuvant IVC and endolaser therapy. © The Author(s) 2020.Background The emphasis on Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is taking on new importance as the profession of nursing strives to meet the challenge of defining the direction of health care, promoting optimal outcomes, and ensuring patient safety. Therefore, Evidence-Based Practice has never been more important to nursing than in the current health-care environment. link2 Objective The study was designed to assess the knowledge, behaviors, and attitudes of nurses as compared with Evidence-Based Practice in relation to the Guidelines of the European Resuscitation Council. Methods The study covered involved a total of 236 nurses who participated in a cardiopulmonary resuscitation course over a period of 12 months. link3 The nurses who qualified for the study followed a complete study registration procedure. Results The current findings show that the lowest score was achieved in the domain of attitude toward selected Evidence-Based Practice aspects in professional work. Detailed domain questions concerned nurses' Evidence-Based ty to make critical assessments and synthesize evidence should be improved. According to the nurses, clinical experience cannot be the only and the best way to assess the effectiveness of a given measure. © The Author(s) 2019.Introduction Nowadays, during formation and development of medicine, the main sector of health care is the protection of maternity and childhood. According to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, inflammatory diseases of the reproductive system make up 60-65% of all gynecological diseases, among them inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries is 79,6%, which occurs predominantly at young age. The aim is to study the microscopic structure of the oviducts wall in different anatomical parts during the embryonic period of human ontogenesis. Material and Methods Were studied uterine tubes of the 4-10 months’ embryos. We used a light microscopy method and morphometry to describe the peculiarities of oviducts’ infundibulum, isthmus and ampullary part in fetus from 81 mm to 375 mm PCL. Results The histotopography of the oviducts tunics and its parts (infundibulum, ampullary part, isthmus and uterine part) in the fetal period of ontogenesis is described in the article. The thickness of the oviduct wall in the dynamics of the fetal period increases in the direction from the infundibulum to the uterine part of the tube. The main part of the thickness of the oviduct wall is presented by muscles. The thickness of the circumferential muscle layer predominates over the thickness of the longitudinal in 2.5-2.8 times. Mucosa is thicker the isthmus, thinnest in the ampullary part of the uterine tube. Conclusions The thickness of the infants oviduct wall in the dynamics increases in the direction from its infundibulum to the uterine part. The main part of the thickness of the oviduct wall is the tunica muscularis. The thickness of the circular muscle layer predominates the thickness of the longitudinal 2.5-2.8 times. Mucosa is thicker in the isthmus, the thinnest in the ampullary part. It is expedient to study the histotopography of the oviduct in the neonatal period of human ontogenesis.
