People living with Tuberculosis (TB) are stigmatized socially. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease transmitted through the air and can affect any part of the body, majority people do not know much about its mode of transmission and treatment protocols. Despite being curable, Tuberculosis is still a stigmatized disease, not only because of its clinical manifestations but also due to psychosocial behaviors. TB affected individuals are consider devalued in society and in an organizational context they get reduced opportunities of selection, promotion and income. Stigma is often explained as a discrediting attribute leading to an impairment of social status and position, rejection and/or exclusion. Likewise, stigmatized identities are devalued social identities or attributes given to an affected individual due to infectious diseases. This study examines the rel atively new phenomenon of (deviant workplace behavior, turnover intention and social isolation) as an outcome of tuberculosis stigmatized identities at workplace. The current study empirically and theoretically investigates self-esteem as an inter linking mechanism in the relationship between valence content (internal, enacted, anticipated and disclosure) tuberculosis stigmatized identities and workplace out comes (deviant workplace behavior, turnover intention and social isolation). In addition, magnitude (centrality and salience) Tb induced stigma used as a po tential moderating variable between valence content of TB induced stigmatized identities and self-esteem. Also, moderating role of perceived organizational sup port is also a salient feature of the study in the relationship between self-esteem and workplace outcomes. Data were collected through self-administrated questionnaire that is translated into native language. Population of current study was middle and low level em ployees working in public and private Tuberculosis hospitals of Pakistan. Author used convenience/purposive sampling to obtain the data. The data of current study collected into three time lags. The total number of questionnaire was 550. The same number of questionnaires was distributed in all three time intervals and the response rate was 321 only. x The result of current study indicates that valence content (internalized and antic ipated) TB stigmatized identities positively related with self-esteem. IV Accord ingly, enacted TB stigma has negative impact on self-esteem and disclosure TB stigma has positive impact on self-esteem. The moderating role of centrality TB stigma only established in the relationship between enacted TB induces stigma and self-esteem. The role of centrality tuber culosis stigma as moderator is not established with (internal, anticipated, disclo sure) TB stigmatized individuals and self-esteem. Similarly, the role of salience tuberculosis stigma as moderating variable also not established in current study. Furthermore, self-esteem as interlinking mechanism in the relationship between valence content and workplace outcome i.e. turnover intention not established in current study. Accordingly, self-esteem mediates in the relationship between valence content of TB stigmatized identities workplace outcomes (deviant work place behavior and social isolation).In addition, self-esteem not act as a mediating variable in the relationship between (enacted, disclosure) tuberculosis stigmatized identities and social isolation. In the current research POS not act as a mod erating variable between self-esteem and workplace outcome (Deviant workplace behaviors and social isolation).In addition, perceived organizational support act as facilitating moderating variable in the relationship between self-esteem and social isolation. Social identity theory has been used as an overarching theory for cur rent theoretical model. Theoretical and practical implications along with future recommendations have been discussed.

Mixed Infection of Vivax and Falciparum Malaria with Severe Manifestations of Malaria at the General Hospital of the Christian University of Indonesia: A Case Report

Malaria is still a health problem in Indonesia. The number of malaria cases according to the 2018 RISKESDAS reached 8076 cases, and the highest number was obtained from Papua province with 3,334 cases. Multiple infection malaria in Indonesia according to RISKESDAS 2018, has a rate of 0.01% of the total cases, namely Plasmodium Falciparum malaria and Plasmodium non Falciparum malaria. A 47 year old man was referred from the clinic with complaints of high fever preceded by chills 10 days before being admitted to the hospital. Accompanied by shortness of breath, unable to get off the treatment bed due to feeling very weak, nauseous, sick and having a bulging stomach. Physical examination revealed a pale conjunctiva, ronkhi in the lower field of the right lung, dim percussion in the basal of the left lung, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, shifting dullness. Ring form vivax, on chest X-ray found a left pleural effusion. It is known that the patient previously lived in Papua from September 2018 to May 2019. During treatment, the patient was given artesunate injection therapy, dihydroartemisin + piperaquine and primaquin for seven days of treatment. At the end of the treatment, another chest X-ray was performed and re-examination of the peripheral blood smear, no more pleural effusions were found and no parasites were found on re-examination of the peripheral blood smear. Mixed infection of vivax and falciparum malaria, is a rare case that may occur in endemic areas where both plasmodium can be found. The prevalence in Indonesia according to RISKESDAS is only about 0.01% of all malaria cases in Indonesia.

Capability of Bioactive Compounds from Medicinal Plants to Ameliorate the Neuronal Destruction in Animal Model of Parkinson Disease

OBJECTIVE: To study the capability of bioactive compounds to ameliorate the neuronal destruction in animal model of Parkinson disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Rotenone was used to produce the Parkinsonism in mammalian model of rats and the bioactive compounds, chrysin, polydatin and CGA were used to ameliorate the neuronal destruction and the resulting effets of Parkinson in this study. A total of hundred male Sprague Dawley albino rats of weight 200 to 250 gm were divided randomly into five groups with twenty animals in each: control, rotenone+chrysin, rotenone+polydatin and rotenone+chlorogenic acid (CGA) group. Rotenone was dissolved in DMSO and migloyl 812 N at ratio of 2:98 respectively and was administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 3 mg/kg, daily for four week to produce the rat model of Parkinson disease. Mortality and weight changes were assessed, various behavioral tests were performed throughout the experiment to assess the neuro behavioral changes. At the end of experiment, animals were sacrificed, brains were fixed by perfusion method and light microscopic sections were prepared using H & E and cresyl violet method. Immunohistochemical sections were also prepared using anti tyrosine hydroxylase antibody, anti α synuclein antibody, anti ubiquitin antibody, to localize the damaged neurons and amelioration done by bioactive compounds. Anti GFAP antibody was used to localize the Astrocytes immunohistochemically. Dopaminergic neurons, α synuclein and ubiquitin aggregations and astrocytes were analysed for anychanges in their morphology and count in substantia nigra and striatum in Parkinsonism and the ameliorating effects of the bioactive compounds used in this study on them. RESULTS:Rotenone-induced Parkinsonism in animals showed a significant loss of body weight and increase in mortality.Parkinson animals showed deteriorating motor behaviour over the period of experiment. Parkinson animals showed a decrease in dopaminergic neurons in nigrostriatal region. TH immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed decreased immunoreactivity and number of TH positive dopaminergic neurons.Ubiquitin and α-synuclein IHC showed accumulation of α-synuclein & ubiquitin within the neuronal cytoplasm. Astrogliosis with increase in number and amoeboid morphology was also seen. Bioactive compounds not only significantly restored the rotenone-induced weight loss but also the behavioural changes. These compounds also showed protective effects in terms of less degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons and diminished immunoreactivity to anti ubiquitin and anti α-synuclein antibodies. These compounds also decreased the activation and number of astrocytes. CONCLUSION:This study concludes that bioactive compounds confer protection in rat model of Parkinson disease. They ameliorated the degeneration of the dopaminergic neurons, accumulation of α-synuclein and ubiquitin in the cytoplasm of neurons and activation & morphological alteration of astrocytes.
