Abstract
Abstract
Background
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a serious adverse drug reaction that increases patient’s risk of developing venous or arterial thromboembolism, which maybe life-threatening. The frequency varies from 0.5% to 5%, depending on population studies. This condition will worsen especially in patients with deep vein thrombosis.
Case
A 52 years old woman was reported swelling and decreased saturation of the lower extremities, with a history of Heparin therapy for 5 days before being referred to Haji Adam Malik Hospital Medan. Platelet count on admission day was 225.000/µl but dropped into 64.000/µl in the 7th post heparin treatment day. Doppler examination showed multiple thrombosis in deep femoral vein and and sign of stenosis peripheral artery. Echocardiography showed intracardiac thrombus without sign of acute pulmonary embolism. Two days after discontinuation of heparin, the platelet still tend to be low but in the next days, its count increases to within normal range. Due to the high risk of embolism, it was decided to place a vena cava filter prior to surgery for thrombus evacuation.
Discussion
This case demonstrates several interesting aspects of HIT, including thrombotic complication, limitation tools to support diagnosis of HIT, how to prepare this patient into surgical management, and the last is placing a IVCF prior to surgical thrombus evacuation and thrombectomy to reduce the risk of thromboemboli before surgical treatment. This is the first time procedure in Medan for placing a vena cava filter in a DVT patients who have contraindication to heparin administration.

Abstract
Large homogeneous and adherent coatings of phenethylammonium bismuth iodide were produced using the cost-effective and scalable aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD) methodology. The film morphology was found to depend on the deposition conditions and substrates, resulting in different optical properties to those reported from their spin-coated counterparts. Optoelectronic characterization revealed band bending effects occurring between the hybrid material and semiconducting substrates (TiO2 and FTO) due to heterojunction formation, and the optical bandgap of the hybrid material was calculated from UV-visible and PL spectrometry to be 2.05 eV. Maximum values for hydrophobicity and crystallographic preferential orientation were observed for films deposited on FTO/glass substrates, closely followed by values from films deposited on TiO2 /glass substrates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Simulation models are increasingly important for skill acquisition during microsurgery training. Prosthetics, living and non-living biological models have been proposed in the literature in the optics of recreating real-life scenarios in a controlled environment. This study aims to validate and prove the reusability of a novel non-living biological model: the porcine placenta. METHODS A prospective comparative study was carried out to assess face and content validities of the proposed model, as well as the reusability and quality of the Thiel-embalming method. Participants were asked answer a questionnaire for each anastomosis they performed on porcine placental vessels of ≤2mm (small) and 2-4mm (large). Scores were classified according to different subgroups, either small or large vessels and first or second sessions. Reliability analysis of the questionnaire was carried out using Cronbach's α, to ensure an α>0.7. Median scores for each question were analyzed using boxplots and compared amongst each subgroup using a non-parametric independent Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS With nine participants, the Cronbach's α for each category of question was 0.867, 0.778, 0.720 and 0.593. Statistical differences were found between responses of small and large vessels on 5/10 questions, where large vessels reported higher validity. No statistical differences were found between scores of the first and second sessions. CONCLUSION By evaluating face and content validity, the Thiel-embalmed porcine placenta has proven its suitability as a microsurgery model, especially for vessels of larger caliber. Qualities that distinguish this model is its reliable reusability, its low cost-effectiveness, and its ethical acceptability.

Abstract
Karnataka, a state in south India, reported its first case of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection on March 8, 2020, more than a month after the first case was reported in India. We used a combination of contact tracing and genomic epidemiology to trace the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the state up until May 21, 2020 (1578 cases). We obtained 91 genomes of SARS-CoV-2 which clustered into seven lineages (Pangolin lineages-A, B, B.1, B.1.80, B.1.1, B.4, and B.6). The lineages in Karnataka were known to be circulating in China, Southeast Asia, Iran, Europe and other parts of India and are likely to have been imported into the state both by international and domestic travel. Our sequences grouped into 17 contact clusters and 24 cases with no known contacts. We found 14 of the 17 contact clusters had a single lineage of the virus, consistent with multiple introductions and most (12/17) were contained within a single district, reflecting local spread. In most of the 17 clusters, the index case (12/17) and spreaders (11/17) were symptomatic. Of the 91 sequences, 47 belonged to the B.6 lineage, including eleven of 24 cases with no known contact, indicating ongoing transmission of this lineage in the state. Genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in Karnataka suggests multiple introductions of the virus followed by local transmission in parallel with ongoing viral evolution. This is the first study from India combining genomic data with epidemiological information emphasizing the need for an integrated approach to outbreak response.

Abstract
Using a coarse-grained bead-spring model of bacterial chromosomes of Caulobacter crescentus and Escherichia coli, we show that just 33 and 38 effective cross-links in 4017 and 4642 monomer chains at special positions along the chain contour can lead to the large-scale organization of the DNA polymer, where confinement effects of the cell walls play a key role in the organization. The positions of the 33/38 cross-links along the chain contour are chosen from the Hi-C contact map of bacteria C. crescentus and E. coli. We represent 1000 base pairs as a coarse-grained monomer in our bead-spring flexible ring polymer model of the DNA polymer. Thus, 4017/4642 beads on a flexible ring polymer represent the C. crescentus/E. coli DNA polymer with 4017/4642 kilo-base pairs. Choosing suitable parameters from Paper I, we also incorporate the role of compaction of the polymer coil due to the presence of molecular crowders and the ability of the chain to release topological constraints. We validate our prediction of the organization of the bacterial chromosomes with available experimental data and also give a prediction of the approximate positions of different segments within the cell. In the absence of confinement, the minimal number of effective cross-links required to organize the DNA chains of 4017/4642 monomers was 60/82 [Agarwal et al., Europhys. Lett. 121, 18004 (2018) and Agarwal et al., J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 30, 034003 (2018)].

Abstract
We showed in our previous studies that just 3% cross-links (CLs), at special points along the contour of the bacterial DNA, help the DNA-polymer to get organized at micron length scales [T. Agarwal et al., J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 30, 034003 (2018) and T. Agarwal et al., EPL (Europhys. Lett.) 121, 18004 (2018)]. In this work, we investigate how does the release of topological constraints help in the "organization" of the DNA-polymer. Furthermore, we show that the chain compaction induced by the crowded environment in the bacterial cytoplasm contributes to the organization of the DNA-polymer. We model the DNA chain as a flexible bead-spring ring polymer, where each bead represents 1000 base pairs. The specific positions of the CLs have been taken from the experimental contact maps of the bacteria Caulobacter crescentus and Escherichia coli. We introduce different extents of ease of release of topological constraints in our model by systematically changing the diameter of the monomer bead. It varies from the value where chain crossing can occur freely to the value where chain crossing is disallowed. We also study the role of compaction of the chain due to molecular crowders by introducing an "effective" weak Lennard-Jones attraction between the monomers. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we show that the release of topological constraints and the crowding environment play a crucial role to obtain a unique organization of the polymer.

Abstract
Background: Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer death among women in northern Africa, with an estimated 5050 new cancer cases and 3509 deaths from cancer in 2012 ( GLOBOCAN 2012 ). Aim: This study was conducted to determine the epidemiologic characteristics of ovarian cancer in Morocco. Methods: This is a descriptive retrospective study of ovarian cancer cases, diagnosed and treated at Al Azhar Oncology Center in Rabat between 2005 and 2015. Results: There were 164 new cases of ovarian cancer diagnosed at Al Azhar Oncology Center, accounting for 3.5% of all cancers affecting women reported during 2005-2015. During this period, ovarian cancer was the third most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death after breast and cervical cancer among women. The average age at diagnosis of ovarian cancer was 52.5 ± 13.3 years (range 18-81 years). The risk of developing the disease is associated with age, 91.1% of cases were diagnosed in women aged 35 years and older, with 70.2% of new ovarian cancer cases occurring among those aged 35-64 years. A 43-year-old woman was diagnosed with metastatic disease. Among all detected cases, 18 (11%) died during the study period, accounting for 6.6% of all female cancer deaths. Conclusion: Ovarian cancer is a preventable disease, and a significant decrease in incidence and mortality can be expected as a result of population-based screening programs, which rely on regular preventive examinations to search for precancerous changes and to prevent the development of malignant tumors.

Abstract
Background: Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men. It is the fourth most common cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer death among men after liver, lung and bladder cancer in northern Africa, with an estimated 7548 new cancer cases and 5000 deaths from cancer in 2012, the most recent year for which international estimates are available ( GLOBOCAN 2012 ). Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and the epidemiologic characteristics of prostate cancer in Morocco. Methods: This is a descriptive retrospective analysis of prostate cancer cases, diagnosed and treated at Al Azhar Oncology Center in Rabat between 2005 and 2015. Results: During the period of study, there were 644 new cases diagnosed with prostate cancer at Al Azhar Oncology Center, accounting for 20% of all new cases of cancer in men reported during this period. The average age of the patients at diagnosis was 68.1 ± 9.6 years (range 8-97 years). The risk of developing prostate cancer is associated with advancing age, 97.7% of cases were diagnosed in men aged 50 years and older, with 85.1% of new cancer cases occurring among those aged 55-79 years. Among all detected cases, 6.5% were diagnosed with metastatic disease and 4.8% died during the study period. Conclusion: Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer in elderly men. Early detection to improve prostate cancer outcome and survival remains the cornerstone of prostate cancer control.

Abstract
Using data from contact maps of the DNA-polymer of Escherichia coli (E. Coli) (at kilobase pair resolution) as an input to our model, we introduce cross-links between monomers in a bead-spring model of a ring polymer at very specific points along the chain. Via suitable Monte Carlo simulations, we show that the presence of these cross-links leads to a particular organization of the chain at large (micron) length scales of the DNA. We also investigate the structure of a ring polymer with an equal number of cross-links at random positions along the chain. We find that though the polymer does get organized at the large length scales, the nature of the organization is quite different from the organization observed with cross-links at specific biologically determined positions. We used the contact map of E. Coli bacteria which has around 4.6 million base pairs in a single circular chromosome. In our coarse-grained flexible ring polymer model, we used 4642 monomer beads and observed that around 80 cross-links are enough to induce the large-scale organization of the molecule accounting for statistical fluctuations caused by thermal energy. The length of a DNA chain even of a simple bacterial cell such as E. Coli is much longer than typical proteins, hence we avoided methods used to tackle protein folding problems. We define new suitable quantities to identify the large scale structure of a polymer chain with a few cross-links.

Abstract
Potato Homeobox 15 (POTH15) is a KNOX-I (Knotted1-like homeobox) family gene in potato that is orthologous to Shoot Meristemless (STM) in Arabidopsis. Despite numerous reports on KNOX genes from different species, studies in potato are limited. Here, we describe photoperiodic regulation of POTH15, its overexpression phenotype, and identification of its potential targets in potato (Solanum tuberosum ssp. andigena). qRT-PCR analysis showed a higher abundance of POTH15 mRNA in shoot tips and stolons under tuber-inducing short-day conditions. POTH15 promoter activity was detected in apical and axillary meristems, stolon tips, tuber eyes, and meristems of tuber sprouts, indicating its role in meristem maintenance and leaf development. POTH15 overexpression altered multiple morphological traits including leaf and stem development, leaflet number, and number of nodes and branches. In particular, the rachis of the leaf was completely reduced and leaves appeared as a bouquet of leaflets. Comparative transcriptomic analysis of 35S::GUS and two POTH15 overexpression lines identified more than 6000 differentially expressed genes, including 2014 common genes between the two overexpression lines. Functional analysis of these genes revealed their involvement in responses to hormones, biotic/abiotic stresses, transcription regulation, and signal transduction. qRT-PCR of selected candidate target genes validated their differential expression in both overexpression lines. Out of 200 randomly chosen POTH15 targets, 173 were found to have at least one tandem TGAC core motif, characteristic of KNOX interaction, within 3.0kb in the upstream sequence of the transcription start site. Overall, this study provides insights to the role of POTH15 in controlling diverse developmental processes in potato.

Abstract
In the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster, the differential development of wing and haltere is dependent on the function of the Hox protein Ultrabithorax (Ubx). Here we compare Ubx-mediated regulation of wing patterning genes between the honeybee, Apis mellifera, the silkmoth, Bombyx mori and Drosophila. Orthologues of Ubx are expressed in the third thoracic segment of Apis and Bombyx, although they make functional hindwings. When over-expressed in transgenic Drosophila, Ubx derived from Apis or Bombyx could suppress wing development, suggesting evolutionary changes at the level of co-factors and/or targets of Ubx. To gain further insights into such events, we identified direct targets of Ubx from Apis and Bombyx by ChIP-seq and compared them with those of Drosophila. While majority of the putative targets of Ubx are species-specific, a considerable number of wing-patterning genes are retained, over the past 300 millions years, as targets in all the three species. Interestingly, many of these are differentially expressed only between wing and haltere in Drosophila but not between forewing and hindwing in Apis or Bombyx. Detailed bioinformatics and experimental validation of enhancer sequences suggest that, perhaps along with other factors, changes in the cis-regulatory sequences of earlier targets contribute to diversity in Ubx function.

Abstract
Histones are abundant nuclear proteins that are essential for the packaging of eukaryotic DNA into chromosomes. Different histone variants, in combination with their modification ‘code’, control regulation of gene expression in diverse cellular processes. Several enzymes that catalyze the addition and removal of multiple histone modifications have been discovered in the past decade, enabling investigations of their role(s) in normal cellular processes and diverse pathological conditions. This sudden influx of data, however, has resulted in need of an updated knowledgebase that compiles, organizes and presents curated scientific information to the user in an easily accessible format. Here, we present HIstome, a browsable, manually curated, relational database that provides information about human histone proteins, their sites of modifications, variants and modifying enzymes. HIstome is a knowledgebase of 55 human histone proteins, 106 distinct sites of their post-translational modifications (PTMs) and 152 histone-modifying enzymes. Entries have been grouped into 5 types of histones, 8 types of post-translational modifications and 14 types of enzymes that catalyze addition and removal of these modifications. The resource will be useful for epigeneticists, pharmacologists and clinicians. HIstome: The Histone Infobase is available online at http://www.iiserpune.ac.in/∼coee/histome/ and http://www.actrec.gov.in/histome/.

Abstract
This study evaluated antenatal care (ANC) services for pregnant women attending primary health care centres in Medina city, Saudi Arabia in 2009. A cross-sectional survey collected data on ANC tasks performed at visits by 394 pregnant women attending 7 clinics. ANC was assessed in 3 domains: clinical assessment (at the initial visit and return visit), health promotion and care provision. The mean duration of initial visits was 10.3 (SD 2.3) minutes and of return visits was 9.1 (SD 1.1) minutes. Overall performance on ANC tasks was fair. The significant predictors of ANC performance of tasks were: size of population served per centre; presence of more than 1 physician carrying out ANC at the centre; physician's age, mother tongue, nationality and qualifications; and woman's education and employment status. Having more physicians available for ANC in primary care centres could improve the standard of care.

Abstract
Novel pathogens have the potential to become critical issues of national security, public health and economic welfare. As demonstrated by the response to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and influenza, genomic sequencing has become an important method for diagnosing agents of infectious disease. Despite the value of genomic sequences in characterizing novel pathogens, raw data on their own do not provide the information needed by public health officials and researchers. One must integrate knowledge of the genomes of pathogens with host biology and geography to understand the etiology of epidemics. To these ends, we have created an application called Supramap (http://supramap.osu.edu) to put information on the spread of pathogens and key mutations across time, space and various hosts into a geographic information system (GIS). To build this application, we created a web service for integrated sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis as well as methods to describe the tree, mutations, and host shifts in Keyhole Markup Language (KML). We apply the application to 239 sequences of the polymerase basic 2 (PB2) gene of recent isolates of avian influenza (H5N1). We map a mutation, glutamic acid to lysine at position 627 in the PB2 protein (E627K), in H5N1 influenza that allows for increased replication of the virus in mammals. We use a statistical test to support the hypothesis of a correlation of E627K mutations with avian-mammalian host shifts but reject the hypothesis that lineages with E627K are moving westward. Data, instructions for use, and visualizations are included as supplemental materials at: http://supramap.osu.edu/sm/supramap/publications. © The Willi Hennig Society 2010.

Abstract
Iron deficiency anaemia is the most common nutritional disorder in the world. Pregnant women are at especially high risk of iron deficiency and anaemia because of significantly increased iron requirements during pregnancy. Iron supplementation during pregnancy has been recommended for women in the developing world, since usually no basic changes occur in the composition of the diet. This is a retrospective cohort study carried out in Al-Yamamah Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, comparing the outcome of haemoglobin levels in 308 pregnant women near term with compliance to iron supplementation during the preceding pregnancy stages. Data were collected using an interview-based questionnaire for assessment of supplementation compliance and the women were divided into three categories: strictly compliant; partially compliant; and non-compliant. Haemoglobin levels were extracted from the medical records for the first antenatal visit (before 13 weeks' gestation) and compared with the level at entrance to the study at 36 weeks' gestation. Both Epi-info 2002 version 3.2 and SPSS version 10 were used for data analysis. Our results show that 49.7% used iron supplements continuously during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy; 38.3% reported partial use and 12.0% used no iron supplements. Haemoglobin levels improved significantly only among strictly compliant pregnant women, by 0.3 g/dl; decreased among partially compliant women by, 0.36 g/dl and significantly decreased among non-compliant, by -1.4 g/dl. Factors associated with non-compliance were education with a simple linear protective effect from being non-compliant. The percentage of anaemic women increased from 29.6% in the first trimester to 34% in the third trimester. Anaemia was significantly associated with non-compliance with iron supplementation, the adjusted OR was 6.19 95% CI 2.55-15.02, p < 0.0001. Strategies to improve compliance and effective iron supplementation among pregnant women should be implemented.
