<b>Objectives</b>
<p>This study was performed to identify the distribution of undiagnosed isolated hypertension subtypes and their correlates amongst adults aged 35 years and older in Bangladesh using data from the Bangladesh Demography and Health Survey 2011.</p></sec>
<sec>
<b>Methods</b>
<p>Out of a total of 17,964 selected households, 7,880 were included in the final analysis for this study. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) were measured 3× at 10-minute intervals. Hypertension subtypes were defined for individuals not under antihypertensive treatment as systolic-diastolic hypertension (SDH): systolic BP (SBP) ≥ 140 mm Hg and diastolic BP (DBP) ≥ 90 mm Hg; isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH): SBP < 140 mm Hg and DBP ≥ 90 mm Hg, and isolated systolic hypertension (ISH): SBP ≥140 mm Hg and DBP < 90 mm Hg.</p></sec>
<sec>
<b>Results</b>
<p>The predominant hypertension subtypes were SDH and IDH [5.2%; 95% confidence interval (CI): 4.7–5.1] followed by ISH (3.8%; 95% CI: 3.4–4.2). Multiple logistic regression showed that age and gender were significant predictors of ISH. SDH was associated with females [odds ratio (OR): 1.8; 95% CI: 1.3–2.6], the older age group (OR-7.4; 95% CI: 4.3–12.7), and overweight or obese individuals (OR: 1.6; 95% CI: 1.1–2.4). Non-manual work (OR: 1.5; 95% CI: 1.0–2.0]) and being overweight or obese (OR: 1.9; 95% CI: 1.4–2.8) were factors associated with IDH.</p></sec>
<sec>
<b>Conclusion</b>
<p>ISH, IDH and SDH represent salient subtypes of hypertension in Bangladesh. To identify preventive intervention for averting adverse cardiovascular events, further research is needed.</p></sec>

<b>Objectives</b>
<p>The emergence of resistant bacteria is being increasingly reported around the world, potentially threatening millions of lives. Amongst resistant bacteria, methicillin-resistant <italic>Staphylococcus aureus</italic> (MRSA) is the most challenging to treat. This is due to emergent MRSA strains and less effective traditional antibiotic therapies to Staphylococcal infections. The use of bacteriophages (phages) against MRSA is a new, potential alternate therapy. In this study, morphology, genetic and protein structure of lytic phages against MRSA have been analysed.</p></sec>
<sec>
<b>Methods</b>
<p>Isolation of livestock and sewage bacteriophages were performed using 0.4 μm membrane filters. Plaque assays were used to determine phage quantification by double layer agar method. Pure plaques were then amplified for further characterization. Sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and random amplification of polymorphic DNA were run for protein evaluation, and genotyping respectively. Transmission electron microscope was also used to detect the structure and taxonomic classification of phage visually.</p></sec>
<sec>
<b>Results</b>
<p>Head and tail morphology of bacteriophages against MRSA were identified by transmission electron microscopy and assigned to the <italic>Siphoviridae</italic> family and the <italic>Caudovirales</italic> order.</p></sec>
<sec>
<b>Conclusion</b>
<p>Bacteriophages are the most abundant microorganism on Earth and coexist with the bacterial population. They can destroy bacterial cells successfully and effectively. They cannot enter mammalian cells which saves the eukaryotic cells from lytic phage activity. In conclusion, phage therapy may have many potential applications in microbiology and human medicine with no side effect on eukaryotic cells.</p></sec>

<sec>
<b>Objectives</b>
<p>The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics and factors affecting the survival of inpatients admitted following a suicide attempt.</p></sec>
<sec>
<b>Methods</b>
<p>A total of 3,095 cases retrieved from the Korean National Hospital Discharge In-depth Injury Survey data (from 2011 to 2015) were grouped according to survival and death and analyzed using descriptive statistics chi-square and logistic regression analysis.</p></sec>
<sec>
<b>Results</b>
<p>The following factors had statistically significant risks on reducing survival: female (OR = 2.352, <italic>p</italic> < 0.001), 40–59 years old (OR = 0.606, <italic>p</italic> = 0.014), over 60 years old (OR = 0.186, <italic>p</italic> < 0.001), poisoning (OR = 0.474, <italic>p</italic> = 0.009), hanging (OR = 0.031, <italic>p</italic> < 0.001), jumping (OR = 0.144, <italic>p</italic> < 0.001), conflicts with family (OR = 2.851, <italic>p</italic> < 0.001), physical diseases (OR = 1.687, <italic>p</italic> = 0.046), mental health problems (OR = 2.693, <italic>p</italic> < 0.001), financial problems (OR = 3.314, <italic>p</italic> = 0.002), 2014 (OR = 2.498, <italic>p</italic> = < 0.001) and 2015 (OR = 2.942, <italic>p</italic> = 0.005).</p></sec>
<sec>
<b>Conclusion</b>
<p>The survival group that had a history of attempted suicide (high-risk suicide group), should be further characterized. It is necessary to identify the suicide methods and risk factors for suicide prevention management policies and to continuously expand the management policy according to these characteristics.</p></sec>

<b>Objectives</b>
<p>To determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with intestinal parasites in the population of San Juan Cosala, Jalisco, Mexico.</p></sec>
<sec>
<b>Methods</b>
<p>A total of 277 samples from 104 participants were analysed using direct smear, flotation, formaldehyde/ethyl acetate, and modified Kinyoun’s acid-fast stain methods. The Graham method was applied only for samples from children under 12 years of age for the diagnosis of<italic> Enterobius vermicularis.</italic></p></sec>
<sec>
<b>Results</b>
<p>The prevalence of parasite infections in the study population was 77.9% including:<italic> Entamoeba histolytica/E. dispar/E. moshkovskii/E. bangladeshi</italic> (37.5%),<italic> Giardia intestinalis</italic> (11.5%);<italic> commensals: Endolimax nana</italic> (44.2%),<italic> Entamoeba coli</italic> (27.9%),<italic> Chilomastix mesnili</italic> (6.7%) and<italic> Iodamoeba bütschlii</italic>, (2.9%); emerging intestinal protozoans:<italic> Blastocystis</italic> spp. (49%),<italic> Cryptosporidium</italic> spp. (7.7%) and <italic>Cyclospora cayetanensis</italic> (2.9%); and helminths:<italic> Enterobius vermicularis</italic> (18.3%) and <italic>Ascaris lumbricoides</italic> (5.8%). The results also showed that 58.64% of the studied population presented polyparasitism. A significant association was found between protozoan infections and housewives, and houses that were not built with concrete ceilings, brick walls and cement floors (<italic>p</italic> < 0.05).</p></sec>
<sec>
<b>Conclusion</b>
<p>Polyparasitism was observed in over half the study population. The most prevalent parasite was <italic>Blastocystis</italic> spp, whilst the prevalence of helminths was less than that of protozoans. The risk factors for infection to intestinal parasites were being a housewife and not having solid brick, cement and concrete materials for house construction.</p></sec>
