13. Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders of Teaching Staff in Higher Education

Author

Mahmutovic, Elvis, Bisevac, Emir, and Dolicanin, Zana

Abstract

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are among the most common disorders of the musculoskeletal system. The aim of this paper is to determine the prevalence of the musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) for the teachers in higher education. Examinees and methods: 100 teachers (66% men and 34% women with average age of 38.8 ± 13.1) were included in the prospective study. The information about the state of the teachers’ musculoskeletal system was gathered using a questionnaire for the MSD analysis. Potential risk factors for MSD were analyzed. MSD was observed in 74 (74%) teachers and associates (68.9% male and 31.1% female, p˂0.05). 32% Teachers had pain within the first five years of teaching work, while the rest of MSD occurred after that period. 73% of teachers were diagnosed with rigor in the lower back, 62% were diagnosed with neck pain, 45.9% were diagnosed with upper back pain, while 27% had pain in their ankles/feet. Lower pain prevalence was noticed in wrist, hands, hips and elbows. The prevalence of the musculoskeletal disorders for teachers is 74% and it is higher for men than for women. MSD, whose samples are multifactorial, are the most common in the lower back, neck, upper back and shoulders. Ergonomics and ergonomic education are the primary factors in the prevalence and treatment of MSD.

Abstract

In this study the leaves and fruits of wild raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) populations from the central Balkan region were examined to determine the level of secondary metabolites and related antioxidant activity, as well as biological activity, upon existing ethnobotanical evidence, primarily linked to gastrointestinal disorders. The values obtained for total phenols ranged from 59.68 to 96.83 mg GA g(-1) and 24.29 to 38.71 mg GA g(-1) in leaf and fruit extracts, respectively. The highest values of tannins and anthocyanins were determined for leaf extracts from a population of east Serbia at a level of 1.27 mg mL(-1) and 9.00 mg mL(-1). Antioxidant activity was evaluated by measuring the scavenging capacity of the extracts on DPPH. Higher antioxidant activity was detected in the leaf extracts than in the fruit extracts. Leaf and fruit extract were the most effective against Escherichia coli (ATCC 8739). Anticancer activity was studied on a human colorectal cancer cell line HCT-116. Leaf extracts exhibited anticancer activity with IC50/24 h 162.38 mu g mL(-1) and IC50/48 h 95.69 mu g mL(-1). Wild raspberry leaf and fruit extracts contain numerous secondary metabolites providing marked antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticancer activity.

Abstract

The structure of the newly synthesized coumarin derivative, 3-(1-(3-hydroxypropylamino)-ethylidene)-chroman-2,4-dione, was investigated theoretically. The density functional theory calculations, with B3LYP functional (and with empirical dispersion corrections D3BJ) in combination with the 6–311+G(d,p) basis set, are performed in order to optimized the molecular structure of the investigated coumarin derivative. Molecular docking analysis was carried out in order to identify the potency of inhibition of the title molecule against human C-reactive protein. The inhibition activity was obtained for ten conformations of ligand inside protein. Struktura novo sintetisanog derivata kumarina, 3- (1- (3-hidroksipropilamino) -etiliden) -hroman-2,4-diona, ispitana je primenom teorijskih metoda. Za optimizaciju strukture ispitivanog kumarinskog derivata korišćena je teorija funkcionalne gustine: B3LYP funkcional ( sa empirijskim ispravkama disperzije D3BJ) u kombinaciji sa 6-311+G(d, p) bazisnim setom. Urađen je molekulski doking, kao i analiza dobijenih rezultata kako bi se utvrdio potencijal inhibicije molekula ispitivanog jedinjenja prema humanom C-reaktivnom proteinu. Aktivnost inhibicije izračunata je za deset potencijalnih konformacija liganda unutar proteina.

27. Oxidative stress biomarkers in amniotic fluid of pregnant women with hypothyroidism.

Author

Novakovic, Tanja R., Dolicanin, Zana C., and Djordjevic, Natasa Z.

Abstract

Purpose: Hypothyroidism in pregnancy is the serious state that may lead to fetal morbidity and mortality. Oxidative stress biomarkers in the amniotic fluid can provide important information on the health, development and maturation of the fetus during pregnancy. In this study, we examined whether maternal hypothyroidism contributes to increased oxidative stress biomarkers in the amniotic fluid during the first trimester of pregnancy. Materials and methods: The study was conducted on healthy pregnant women and pregnant women with hypothyroidism (gestational age: 16-18 weeks). Oxidative stress biomarkers, such as superoxide anion (O2•−), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), nitric oxide (NO), peroxynitrite (ONOO−), lipid peroxide (LPO), reduced glutathione (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) were assayed in the amniotic fluid. Results: The results of this study indicated that concentrations of O2•− and NO are significantly higher, while the concentration of H2O2 is significantly lower in the amniotic fluid of pregnant women with hypothyroidism in comparison to healthy pregnant women. There were no differences in concentrations of LPO, GSH and GSSG among tested groups. Also, we found that amniotic fluid concentration of O2•− is negatively correlated with the body weight and Apgar score values of the newborns. Conclusion: These results suggest that pregnancy hypothyroidism is characterized by the amniotic fluid oxidative stress. Incorporation of the oxidative stress biomarkers measurement in the amniotic fluid may be of clinical importance in the management of pregnancy hypothyroidism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Objective: Mortality has been shown to increase with heat waves. Serbia experienced the hottest heat wave in July 2007. In this study, we examined patterns of non-traumatic excess mortality in Belgrade during this event. Methods: The numbers of deaths observed during the 9-day heat wave were compared to those expected on the basis of mortality rates reported for the previous eight years and two following years. Excess mortality was analyzed by age, gender and cause of death. Results: There was a total of 167 excess deaths (38%) between 16 and 24 July. People aged 75 years and older accounted for 151(90%) of all excess deaths. An increase of mortality among elderly was 76% in comparison to the baseline mortality. Excess female mortality was over two times higher than excess male mortality (54% : 23%). The biggest increase in mortality was from diabetes mellitus (286%), chronic kidney disease (200%), respiratory system diseases (73%), and nervous system diseases (67%). Cardiovascular and malignant neoplasms mortality accounted for the highest absolute numbers of excess deaths (77 and 49, respectively). There was no decrease in mortality in the 60-day period after the heat wave. Conclusions: There are several causes of an increase in heat-related mortality. The most vulnerable population group is the elderly females.
