Although efforts have been made to address behavioral factors that contribute to suicide risk, little attention has been given to the impact of socioeconomic factors on the mental health of Washington residents. The purpose of the research is to investigate the relationship between socioeconomic status and suicide rates in Washington State. The results of the study can help guide policymakers and healthcare professionals in developing intervention strategies to reduce suicide risk. The suicide rate among Washington residents from 2011-2020 was provided by the 57 vital statistics jurisdictions participating in the Vital Statistics Cooperative Program. Three indicators, including poverty rate, lower than high school graduate rate, and unemployment rate, were chosen to explore the relationship between socioeconomic factors and suicide rate. The data from 57 jurisdictions were analyzed using R, with F tests and multiple linear regressions employed. The multiple R-squared value was 0.7648, indicating that 76.48% of the variation can be explained by the independent variables. These results suggest that poverty and employment rates have a significant positive relationship with suicide rate. However, the relationship between lower educational attainment and suicide rate was not statistically significant. Addressing the issue of rising suicide rates requires a collaborative effort between healthcare officials and policymakers. Policymakers should prioritize promoting job opportunities and providing educational resources to alleviate financial stress and increase access to mental healthcare.","PeriodicalId":73052,"journal":{"name":"Fortune journal of health sciences","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135211789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two types of cells, within the heart pacemaker, sinoatrial node (SAN), and within the left ventricle (LV), control two crucial characteristics of heart function, heart beat rate and contraction strength. As age advances, the heart's structure becomes remodeled, and SAN and LV cell functions deteriorate, thus increasing the risk for CVDs. However, the different molecular features of age-associated changes in SAN and LV cells have never been compared in omics scale in the context of aging. We applied deep RNA sequencing to four groups of samples, young LV, old LV, young SAN and old SAN, followed by numerous bioinformatic analyses. In addition to profiling the differences in gene expression patterns between the two heart chambers (LV vs. SAN), we also identified the chamber-specific concordant or discordant age-associated changes in: (1) genes linked to energy production related to cardiomyocyte contraction, (2) genes related to post-transcriptional processing, (3) genes involved in KEGG longevity regulating pathway, (4) prolongevity and antilongevity genes recorded and curated in the GenAge database, and (5) CVD marker genes.

While GPA commonly affects the upper respiratory tract, lungs, and kidneys, ocular manifestations can also occur as a part of systemic GPA or isolated GPA involving eyes, the diagnosis of which can be challenging. Ocular involvement in GPA is variable and can present as scleritis, keratitis, conjunctivitis, uveitis, or orbital involvement. This review article briefly explores the etiology of GPA with a focus on the ophthalmic manifestations of GPA, including their clinical features, diagnosis, differentials, and treatment options. Understanding the ocular manifestations can help in early diagnosis, preventing irreversible eye damage and vision loss. Conclusion: The small blood vessels in almost any organ or tissue can be involved in GPA, the involvement of the eye being one such organ which can present with non-specific signs and symptoms in both generalized and isolated forms. Knowledge of the ocular manifestations of GPA can help catch the disease in its initial stage and prevent irreversible eye damage. Despite being recognized in over half of patients with GPA, ophthalmic signs go misdiagnosed in most patients. The most efficacious strategy for preventing disease mortality and morbidity is having a high level of clinical suspicion, early diagnosis, and commencing immunosuppressive medication early in the disease course.","PeriodicalId":73052,"journal":{"name":"Fortune journal of health sciences","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69347699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two of the key prognostic indicators of CRC include microsatellite instability (MSI) and BRAF V600E mutation. Here, we performed a retrospective survival analysis on 145 stage II and III CRC patients treated at the University of Kansas Cancer Center between 2009 and 2020. Of the 145 patients, BRAF V600E was observed in 15% patients and MSI in 28% patients. Median survival was not reached for stage II. For stage III, patients with BRAF V600E showed poor overall survival, which worsened with concurrent presence of MSI [χ2=6.4, p=0.01]. Eighty-five percent of this group was found to have right-sided CRC. For stage III, overall survival (OS) was 27 months, 37 months, 87 months and not reached for MSI-H/BRAF V600E, MSS/BRAF V600E, MSS/BRAF WT and MSI-H/BRAF WT, respectively. Although associated with poor prognosis, presence of MSI in BRAF V600E patients was associated with delayed disease presentation (mean age 77) compared to those with stable microsatellite (mean age 63) [p=0.01]. Although median survival between the groups could not be assessed for stage II due to very few deaths and/or inadequate length of study, comparison of survival trend suggests that BRAF V600E, rather than MSI, is what drives prognosis in stage II CRC. Our findings suggest that prognostic value of MSI is more relevant for stage III than stage II CRC. Patients with MSI-H and BRAF V600E have advantage of late presentation, although at the cost of poor overall prognosis.","PeriodicalId":73052,"journal":{"name":"Fortune journal of health sciences","volume":"6 2","pages":"167-173"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/36/92/nihms-1896281.PMC10512748.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41166930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the ability of clinical strains of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas spp that produce beta-lactamases to produce biofilm. Methods: The study involved two clinical strains of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas spp that produce beta-lactamases and were isolated from pus samples at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Pédiatrique Charles de Gaulle of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Biofilm production was assessed using the microtiter plate-based crystal violet assay, with the PA01 WT strain used as a positive control for biofilm production. Biofilm was quantified by measuring optical densities with a spectrophotometer. Results: The E. coli strain was resistant to cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, and ceftazidime, while in addition to these antibiotics, Pseudomonas spp was resistant to imipenem. Both strains were beta-lactamase producers confirmed by the detection of bla NDM and bla IMP genes in E. coli and bla NDM , bla CTX and bla SHV in Pseudomonas spp . Optical density measurements after crystal violet staining showed that both strains were moderate biofilm producers. Conclusions: This study highlights that clinical isolates of E. coli and Pseudomonas spp , which are responsible for human infections and produce beta-lactamases, are also moderate biofilm producers. This is a real public health concern requiring surveillance efforts and investigations to prevent and effectively combat this form of resistance.","PeriodicalId":73052,"journal":{"name":"Fortune journal of health sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69347664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
