Abstract: Bone disorders are largely associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and substantial economic and health costs. Vitamin D play an important role for calcium absorption and bone mineralization, which can improve the patients' quality of life. The current study aimed to evaluate the potential of The Trivedi Effect®- Biofield Energy Healing on vitamin D3 and DMEM as test item (TI) on bone cell differentiation using human osteoblast cell line (MG-63, Osteosarcoma). Bone health biomarkers such as alkaline phosphatase enzyme (ALP) activity, collagen levels and bone mineralization were evaluated. The test items were treated with The Trivedi Effect® by William Dean Plikerd and divided as Biofield Energy Treated (BT) and untreated (UT) test items. Cell viability using MTT data showed that the test items were found to be safe. ALP level was significantly increased by 346.4% (at 50 µg/mL), 375.3% (at 100 µg/mL), and 343.2% (at 100 µg/mL) in the UT-DMEM+BT-TI, BT-DMEM+UT-TI, and BT-DMEM+BT-TI groups, respectively as compared to the untreated group. Collagen content was significantly increased by 336.2% and 237.2% in the UT-DMEM+BT-TI at 10 and 50 µg/mL, respectively while 399.3% and 110.2% increased collagen at 10 µg/mL in BT-DMEM+UT-TI and BT-DMEM+BT-TI groups, respectively. Moreover, the percent of bone mineralization was significantly increased in BT-DMEM+BT-TI group by 71.3% and 97.2% at 50 and 100 µg/mL, respectively as compared with the untreated test item and DMEM group. Thus, Biofield Energy Treated vitamin D3 and DMEM would play an important role to control the osteoblast function, improves bone mineralization, and calcium absorption in many bone disorders. Moreover, the bone health parameters such as collagen, calcium and ALP were significantly improved and can be used as supplement to improve bone health. Based on the outstanding results, it is assumed that the Biofield Energy Treated vitamin D3 could be a powerful alternative dietary sources and supplements to fight against various bone related diseases including low bone density and osteoporosis, osteogenesis imperfecta, Paget’s disease of bone, rickets, osteomalacia, bone and/or joint pain, increased frequency of fractures, deformed bones, osteoma, chondrodystrophia fetalis, hormonal imbalance, stress, aging, bone loss and fractures.

Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic possibilities of transabdominal ultrasonography for various localizations of gastric carcinoma (GC). Materials and Methods: The study included 101 patient with GC, the stage T1 in 5, the stage of T2 – in 12, the stage of T3 – in 39 and the stage of T4 – in 45 cases respectively. The stomach tumor in 37 (36.6%) cases was localized mainly in the antrum, 35 (34.6%) – in the body, 12 (11.9%) in the cardia and fundus, in 13 (12.9%) cases it had a total, in 4 (4.0%) - subtotal character. Ulcerating infiltrating forms (UIF) of GC was diagnosed in 71 cases, diffuse infiltrating forms (DIF) in 23 cases. All patients underwent preoperative X-ray, virtual gastroscopy techniques, multidetector computed tomography and transabdominal ultrasonography (USG). Results: The intestinal histological form of GC was detected in 7 cases – with USG in 6 cases. The UIF of GC with the help of USG was diagnosed in 69 (97,2%) cases, DIF – in 23 (100%) cases of T2-T4 stages. The results of USG and CT was coincided in all cases of T3 and in 92,7% of T4 stages of GC. Conclusions: The combined use of ultrasonography and gastroscopy will increase the detection of early intestinal type of GC. USG is the best, cheap, independent method for diagnosing a diffusely infiltrative form of GC, especially of the antrum. At stage T3, he is not inferior to CT in assessing the localization and prevalence of GC, and at stage T4, the difference between them is negligible.

Abstract: Patient safety is a serious global public health issue. In recent years the importance of improving patient safety has been a major concern all over the world. The government of Yemen, like governments of other developing countries has been providing a wide range of free healthcare services to its people over a long period of time. The increase in health related problems in Yemen is due to lifestyle changes and lack of adequate care by the hospitals. Accordingly, the Ministry of Public Health and Population (MoPHP) in Yemen realized that the public sector alone is no longer capable of providing necessary health care for the people of Yemen and therefore privatized the sector to a large extent. This paper is aimed at focusing on the current health care situations available in Yemen. The secondary data of the health care related aspects are presented and discussed retrospectively. We present a review of current health care status in Yemen through a retrospective data with reference to Aden city and also discuss the possible measures need to be implemented in order to improve the situation. The paper discusses the evaluation of the health care standards in Yemen and also explores the reasons for medical tourism of Yemeni nationals to other countries like India.

Abstract: Peripheral T cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are uncommon and less well studied. Most PTCLs present as systemic disease and often involve bone marrow. Bone marrow involvement by PTCLs may damage the normal hematopoiesis and bring more challenge to clinical management of these patients. This study focuses on the clinical pathological features and clinical outcomes in 13 patients with nodal peripheral T cell lymphoma and subsequent bone marrow biopsy positive for the same lymphoma. Eight patients were diagnosed of peripheral T cell lymphoma - not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), 3 angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma (AITL), 1 anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), and 1 T cell lymphoma of gamma-delta origin (TCL-gamma/delta). All patients had peripheral blood abnormalities: 11 anemia, 7 thrombocytopenia, 5 neutropenia, and 2 lymphocytosis. Of interest, the CD4/CD8 phenotype of PTCL was shown correlating with abnormal peripheral blood findings: CD4+/CD8- phenotype was more often associated with anemia and thrombocytopenia, and CD4-/CD8+ phenotype was associated with lymphocytosis. Chemotherapy remains the choice of first line treatment for these patients with or without stem cell transplantation. 12 patients had treatment and follow up data available for review, 5 were in remission or free of disease during the follow up period; 5 patients were alive or in hospice with persistent disease and 2 died of disease due to multiple complications. The outcome of PTCL treated with the standard chemotherapy has been less favorable compared with B cell lymphomas. Majority of the patients with nodal PTCL have bone marrow involvement at the time of initial diagnosis, which has significant impact on normal hematopoiesis and may be a significant factor in the overall unfavorable prognosis for these patients. Further investigation with better knowledge about this disease will be helpful in the development of more efficient therapy and improve the disease free survival and life quality for these patients.

Abstract: Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS), which is characterized by microvascular hemolytic anemia, consumption thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure, is a complication of the Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infection. We describe the case of a patient who, despite undergoing plasma exchange and renal replacement therapy for STEC-induced HUS, experienced poor improvement in platelet count, serum creatinine level, and serum lactate dehydrogenase level. The patient developed acute encephalopathy but recovered without permanent organ damage after eculizumab therapy. For severe HUS cases involving the central nervous system, early administration of eculizumab, which inhibits the abnormal activation of the complement activation pathway, may be effective.
