Published: September 2021

The objective of this research is to establish the relationship between two variables: Personality and Study Habits. The research developed is descriptive correlational. The sample was represented by 92 students of the first cycles of Chemical Engineering of a public university of the constitutional province of Callao-Peru. The study was developed with students of the courses State, Society and Human Development, Methodology of University Work and Industrial Psychology. For this purpose, two time groups were formed (01Q and 02Q), and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQR- A) was administered, this instrument evaluates the personality traits: Neuroticism, Extraversion and Psychoticism. On the other hand, Luis Vicuña's Study Habits Inventory evaluates the way students study, divided into five dimensions: How do you study, How do you do your homework, How do you prepare your exams, How do you listen to your classes and How do you accompany your study time? These are instruments that are used in the university system at an international level, they are used in the psycho-pedagogical area or for research. The results indicate a significant relationship between Personality and Study Habits. Therefore, it is demonstrated that there is a clear tendency towards the Psychoticism dimension, being very high; which is very unfavorable for a university student in this contemporary world. Likewise, it is verified that there is a considerable positive tendency towards the dimension of How do you study? There is a clear negative tendency towards the dimension of How do you do your homework? In addition, it is verified that there is a marked negative tendency towards How do you prepare your exams? which is very unfavorable for a university student.

COVID-19 pandemic forced many changes, including how clinical rotations take place. Reducing face-to-face contact transformed a considerable amount of the activities to distance settings. The residents on the pathology program have a crucial role in the undergraduate medical students’ learning process. To recreate the regular face-toface contact where members of this learning community would interact, an online oneweek rotation on oncologic pathology was designed. The purpose of this study was to explore the perception of undergraduate students of the role of residents as educators on the pathology rotation taught by residents. A quantitative approach considered a crosssectional and descriptive design to study the phenomenon. The sample consisted of 55 6thyear medical students from a private school in Mexico where the online rotation was taught by residents from July to December 2020. The instrument consisted of a 27-item survey distributed online. Although participants stated they were satisfied with the teaching competence of the residents (mean 4.54), there seems to be a disagreement that the practical part of the sessions, where microscopy techniques are used, should be taught by them (mean 3.84). Students highlighted that they felt more comfortable and relaxed, as well as more confident in asking questions with residents than they did with medical specialists. The resident-student interaction is an enriching learning opportunity for both. Near peer contact found in the residents’ role as educators still needs to be formalized in the curriculum but an initial adaptation done during the pandemic might show its contribution.

Crisis caused by COVID-19 forced academics to transform Face-to-face education into digital education. As most of the courses had been never taught this way, professors needed to learn how to interact with students, and teach the academic content within a virtual platform. There was a major concern about how these online synchronous sessions had to be delivered, as well as which elements were critical for knowledge transfer and add value to the Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) courses. For having a proper feedback about this format, an instrument was created to evaluate the design course elements, based on theoretical approaches of teaching and learning processes in higher education, particularly on student experiences. The instrument consisted of a survey applied to ISE students from Tecnologico de Monterrey. The analysis considered the nature of the different courses involved in the study, and their categorization as Theoretical, Numerical or Mixed. After applying statistical analysis, some of those elements showed a positive evaluation by students and considering the correlations among them, recommendations for the design of Digital Flexible Model (MFD) courses are made. A positive correlation has been found between active participation of the students, voluntary participation, and the sense of involvement, as well as the ease of interacting that the technological platform provided to the students. Among other results, highlighting the usage of a technological platform is not enough to deliver MFD courses, it is necessary to consider design elements for engaging and motivating students’ participation. It is notorious for the need for a "holistic" transversal approach that complements the design of the successful interaction experience of students in the MFD.

Aspiring physicians’ motivational discourses have mostly delineated intrinsic versus extrinsic factors in the literature, lacking further comprehension of factors underpinning such decision. The purpose of this qualitative study is to deepen the understanding of factors and motivations that lead students to aspire to the medical profession. Semi-structured interviews were applied to 55 medical students from 3 Universities in Mexico, transcriptions were submitted to iterative rounds of coding for analysis using grounded theory. Predominant reasons to enter the profession were: I) Interest in the medical science, II) Aspiring to honorability and status, III) Having a physician family member, IV) Personal experience with illness and V) Desire to help (altruism). Beyond discourse, one striking finding was that most chose their career lacking conscious reasoning and autonomy either because a)ideation/decision was conceived during childhood, b) lacked clear motivation arguments and c)had significant external influence (particularly from parents) on their choice. Such findings helped develop a model that recognizes factors that underly the conscious motivations that students exhibit including: 1) Parental desire/pressure. 2) Proximity of family medical models and lack of exposure to other disciplines. 3) Idealization of the doctor figure during childhood. 4) Influence of television programs. 5) The notion that the career ensures future economic stability/prosperity. 6) Desire of social mobility. The prior socialization of students conditions an aspiration based on a perception of heightened professional status of the medical profession that may differ from the current context. The motivations have an extrinsic preponderance and do not reflect autonomy and adequate understanding of the implications of studying medicine and the future practice of the profession. This can generate problems about their own satisfaction and identity and with respect to the social impact in the exercise of their future role.

Authors:   University of Applied Sciences Dresden (FHD), Germany, Görl-Rottstädt D
Published: September 2021

Prisons are in a state of constant institutional change, marked by extensive development processes. The subject of different studies is the analysis of development processes in prisons, for which suitable strategies of organizational and personnel development are required. In this context, the area of further vocational training is of particular importance, whereby this should be based primarily on the training of the prison officers. The research question that arises is how to combine work and learning in a meaningful way. The contribution will focus on the results of own empirically determined possibilities for the use of work structures e.g. rotation and conference system which are both conducive to learning but also conflict-prone. The further systematization of the work tasks of prison officers has the purpose of presenting their varied and demanding professional profile. So far, too little attention has been paid to this aspect, although this area has considerable potential for the successful implementation of development processes. In this context, work-related learning means a conceptual development geared to all hierarchical groups of prison staff, which is oriented towards current work problems and conflicts solution. The complex methodology includes 42 expert interviews, 51 workplace observations and 8 group discussions in three Saxon prisons in Germany, which were evaluated with the qualitative content analysis. The results of the study will show how learning processes can be designed according to pedagogical insights to make learning content of work structures and work tasks in prisons more consciously. In conclusion it is essential to establish that only networked work and further training structures to develop the prisons into a learning organization in the long term and at a high level.

Academic Institutions utilize various ICT mechanisms to manage institution data, retrieve information, sustain financial activities, and deal with digital culture to create the learning and teaching setting. Thus, Enterprise Architecture (EA) is the ICT strategy employed in the domain to engage with radical changes and permuting trends. The purpose of EA is to organize and standardize Information Technology (IT) components to align with institution’s goals. Qualitative analysis was conducted to discover the factors that instigated the first academic institution in the Philippines to adopt EA as an ICT tool for its long-term strategy. The approach was an exploratory research design to closely examine data through thematic analysis, focusing on inductive reasoning that emphasizes the data convened from the semi-structured interviews with an open-ended question. The result of the interviews was graded as primary and secondary factors which influenced the adoption process. Primary factors are the elements that drives the EA adoption such as the organizational structure and human traits, while secondary factors consist of the characteristics of the transformation, specifically the intended techniques, proposed transformation capabilities, transformation obstacles and institutional perspectives. The purpose of this enquiry is to disseminate the primary and secondary factors, discovered from the first academic institution in the Philippines, to various academic institutions and other sectors with similar settings, as a learning ground and bedrock of future possibilities for EA adoption. Thus, the challenge for subsequent EA adopters is to utilize and strengthen the primary and secondary factors to boost the success of transformation for competitive advantage. The future research should gravitate towards factors of EA nonadoption in academic institutions and other sectors as EA is still emerging slowly particularly in the Philippines.

Influence of the movement of involute profile gears along the off-line of action on the gear tooth position along the line of action direction
Authors: Jedliński Łukasz
Published: September 2021

When gears change their distance along the off-line of action (OLOA) direction, this affects the distance between the working surfaces of the meshing teeth along the line of action (LOA). This effect is usually neglected in studies. To include this effect precise equations are derived for spur gears. The analysis is carried out for the general case of spur gears with shifted profiles frequently used in the industry. The influence of OLOA gear displacement on LOA direction is also a function of gears parameters. An analysis is conducted, and the impact of parameters such as module, pressure angle, gear ratio, and the number of teeth is determined. As an example, a simulation of a 12 DOF analytical model is presented. The movement of gears along OLOA is caused by a frictional force that can be high during tooth degradation e.g. scuffing. Results show that when the movement of gears along the OLOA direction is significant, its influence on the distance between the mating teeth should not be neglected.
Low-Tax Jurisdictions in International Tax Planning
Authors: Andrianova Natalia
Published: September 2021

Until recently low-tax jurisdictions have played an important role in the formulation of tax planning schemes by multinational enterprises. However with the onset of global trends towards deoffshorization, existing methods of tax optimization have seen significant changes. As there is currently no one single approach when creating the definition of, or defining a “low-tax jurisdiction”, in this article the definition and the main features of lowtax jurisdictions are proposed and the main stages in the formation and development of low-tax jurisdictions are detailed. On the basis of research carried out on the national legislation of low-tax jurisdictions, the main company types which meet the special legal formulae that can be incorporated into low-tax jurisdictions have been analyzed. In order to highlight similar characteristics and to simplify the analysis of the national legislation of low-tax jurisdictions so that general recommendations covering the nature of measures which can be used to counter illegal tax avoidance, tax evasion, money laundering and other illegal financial machinations, different classifications of low-tax jurisdictions have been analyzed. The unfair and perhaps even illegal use of low-tax jurisdictions often leads to violations of core tax principles which may have an impact on the overall size of budget revenues available to high-tax countries. Therefore, deoffshorization measures are being proposed at the international level. Currently the main global trend has been to increase the transparency of tax information and of financial transactions which are carried out by international exchanges. This is supported by the strengthening and expansion of cooperation between tax authorities which serves to counter the abuse of provisions in international tax treaties on the avoidance of double taxation.

Published: September 2021

This paper proposes modification of the simplest model of the infectious disease in the conditions of pharmacotherapy taking into account influence of small-scale spatial distributed diffusion influences. The singular disturbed model problem with time-delay is reduced to a sequence of problems without time-delay for which the corresponding representations of the asymptotic expansions of solutions are constructed. We present the results of numerical experiments that characterize the influence of spatial distributed diffusion «redistributions» of infectious disease factors on the development of the process on condition of pharmacotherapy. The decrease in the maximum level of concentration of pathogenic antigens in the locus of infection due to their diffusion «redistribution» is illustrated.

Authors:   The Institute of Russian History of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Moscow, Russia, Ivanova Galina M.
Published: September 2021

Introduction. Currently, the Russian Federation is implementing a state youth policy, the goal of which is to create the necessary conditions for self-realization of youth and their active inclusion in social processes. In this regard, the task of studying the historical experience of the USSR in the field of implementing state youth policy in the 1950s–1960s is actualized. At that time the interests and needs of youth began to be widely taken into account for the first time in the implementation of socio-economic development programs, including in the field of education. The article analyzes the conditions, causes and consequences of the choice of educational strategies by young people, reveals the relationship between the material capabilities of society and the social aspirations of young people. Sources and Methods. This problem is viewed from the point of view of social history, within the framework of the concept of "socialist welfare state". The research is based on archival materials from the collections of GA RF, RGANI, RGASPI. Analysis. The educational opportunities of young people in the early 1950s were significantly limited by the low quality of education, its partial payment; the dominance in the school system of the incomplete seven-year secondary school; a limited number of educational institutions providing vocational training on the basis of a complete secondary school; poor development of evening and distance learning. One of the main negative factors in the choice of educational strategies was the low standard of living. Conclusions. The implementation of the new social policy helped to increase the material capabilities of the population, opened access to higher and secondary education for a wide range of young people. Among the most important prerequisites for the free choice of educational strategies were the abolition of tuition fees, the expansion of the network of ten-year schools, the improvement of the quality of education, and the widespread dissemination of forms of on-the-job training.

Published: September 2021

The article presents the results of the research of subjective prognostic evaluation of the level of psychological safety of a situation and the strategies of coping behavior of adolescent offenders in comparison to adolescents with lawful behavior. Psychological safety of a situation is viewed as an environment resource ensuring the effectiveness of coping strategies used by adolescents in difficult situations. The research sample was comprised of 100 adolescents aged 14-15. It has been revealed that the situations with the lowest level of psychological safety are those associated with breach of confidentiality, betrayal, quarreling with friends and dependence on decisions of others. In their assessment of situations, juvenile offenders show higher levels of psychological safety than adolescents with lawful behavior. The latter have more varied ways of coping behavior than adolescent offenders do. While possessing the same levels of confidence in themselves, the world and other people, the adolescents who commit offences and those with lawful behavior differ both in their estimations of the psychological safety levels of situations and in their strategies for coping with troubles.

Published: September 2021

AbstractThis research aimed to evaluate the bond strength by micro tensile strength (µTBS), elastic modulus (EM) and flexural strength (FS) by the three-point test using three types of composite resins: Charisma Diamond, Filtek Z350 and Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill; and three adhesion techniques: adhesive, silane, silane and adhesive. The combinations of each resin with the adhesive technique resulted in nine groups (n = 12). Initially, with the composites, EM and FS tests were performed. Sequentially, each fragment was repaired with the different adhesive systems. All samples were subjected to µTBS testing on a universal assay machine. Data were subjected to the normality test and the parametric ANOVA test. Charisma resin showed the highest values in EM and RF compared to the other composite resins (p <0.05). The highest µTBS value was for silane + adhesive repaired Charisma resin. The lowest µTBS values were in Bulk Fill resin, regardless of adhesive system. The EM and FS results showed that Filtek Z350 resins had the best results, while bulk fill resins had lower results. It was concluded that Charisma and Filtek Z350 resins presented better results. However, in the bulk fill group, the lowest mean values of µTBS, FS and EM were obtained, as well as the lowest value in EM.Keywords: Composite Resins. Adhesives.

ResumoO estudo tratará de analisar as imperfeições e fragilidades da técnica jurídica entre delação premiada e a sentença, considerando as formas e limitações que o processo requer. Tendo como objeto de estudo as significações, muito além da semântica, das delações premiadas e o que estes institutos contribuíram para que fosse possível prolatar uma sentença que expõe de forma clara a opção do julgador pela radicalização e uso do direito para fins políticos. Consoante, o problema central deste estudo pode ser expresso na seguinte pergunta: O punitivíssimo promovido, com base nas delações premiadas, pelos protagonistas do sistema judiciário, de forma livre, sem a devida correição e sem leitura consequencial de suas ações, implicaria em uma fragilidade da técnica jurídica? Ademais, este trabalho, também, mostrará a forma de como são, sem generalizar, utilizados os conceitos e noções que seguem uma trilha condenatória, reverberando convicções particulares e presunções formuladas em matéria penal em desconformidade com a análise de fatos em provas, com desorientação, sem guia e sem princípios estáveis, preocupados exclusivamente em escapar dos monstros, ou do monstro, que o ameaçavam, fazendo com que alguns casos vaguem ao acaso no vasto mar da incerteza.

AbstractThe study will try to analyze the imperfections and weaknesses of the legal technique between the award and the sentence, considering the forms and limitations that the process requires. Having as object of study the meanings, far beyond the semantics, of the awarded statements and what these institutes contributed to make it possible to extend a sentence that clearly exposes the judge's option for radicalization and use of the law for political purposes. Accordingly, the central problem of this study can be expressed in the following question: The punitivism promoted, based on the prizes awarded, by the protagonists of the judicial system, freely, without due correction and without consequential reading of their actions, would imply a fragility of legal technique?In addition, this work will also show how the concepts and notions that follow a condemnatory trail are used, generalizing particular convictions and presumptions formulated in criminal matters in disagreement with the analysis of facts in evidence, with disorientation, without a guide and without stable principles, concerned exclusively with escaping the monsters, or the monster, that threatened him, causing some cases to wander at random in the vast sea of uncertainty.

Resumo O presente estudo tem como foco o debate sobre a Castração Química, a qual, diga-se, vem sendo aplicada como pena para aqueles julgados culpados de crimes sexuais envolvendo pedofilia em vários países, como Inglaterra, País de Gales e Estados Unidos. Uma reflexão ética e moral a respeito do referido tema se faz eminente e necessária, até para que se possa haver um posicionamento crítico distante de falsos preconceitos e de verdades apriorísticas. No formato de um ensaio de discussão teórica, tem-se aqui o intuito de apresentar a castração química como alternativa de sanção para criminosos pedófilos já condenados. Como questão norteadora tem-se: Existe a possibilidade de diminuição dos casos de crime de Pedofilia, adotando no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro a Castração Química voluntária como forma de tratamento para criminosos pedófilos?

AbstractThe present study focuses on the debate on Chemical Castration, which, it should be said, has been applied as a penalty for those found guilty of sexual crimes involving pedophilia in several countries, such as England, Wales and the United States. An ethical and moral reflection on the referred subject is eminent and necessary, even so that there can be a critical positioning distant from false prejudices and a priori truths. In the form of a theoretical discussion essay, the intention here is to present chemical castration as an alternative sanction for already convicted pedophile criminals. The guiding question is: Is there a possibility of reducing the cases of crime of pedophilia, adopting voluntary chemical castration in the Brazilian legal system as a form of treatment for pedophile criminals.

DEVELOPING A DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR EXAM SCHEDULING PROBLEM USING GENETIC ALGORITHM
Authors: DOĞAN Ahmet , YURTSAL Ahmet
Published: September 2021

Exam scheduling is a very complex process done every semester in every educational institution and is usually done manually. The limited resources in these institutions make the preparation of the exam program a demanding and inconvenient task. In addition, when exam scheduling is examined in detail, it is seen that it is a comprehensive task that requires fulfillment of many situations other than the appointment of the appropriate course for the appropriate time period. In this study, a solution approach that allows the assignment of courses to time periods is proposed for the educational institution whose data we use. Thus, it is aimed to obtain a program that can quickly solve the exam scheduling problem, which is a comprehensive task for the educational institution. A Genetic Algorithm, an artificial intelligence optimization algorithm, was used as a solution method, and the performance of the method on the problem was tested. In addition, taking into account students, lecturers, and administrative staff's performance within the study's scope and purpose, it aims to obtain exam programs that will satisfy everyone. However, most studies focused on the solution to the problem, and the idea of making this program suitable for the use of non-technical personnel was neglected. The program we developed in this study has been turned into a decision support system. Thus, the program has become a structure suitable for the use of non-technical personnel. As a result of the study, considering the institution's entire structure, a program that the institution can use in every exam period was obtained, and the exam program was automated, eliminating the time and effort spent by the institution staff.

Background: Parkinson disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after dementia Alzheimer. In neurodegenerative disease such as PD, there is a disturbance of cholesterol metabolism in the brain that could affect plasma cholesterol level. Laboratory test of cholesterol level could be used as an alternative parameter in assessing the severity degree of PD. Our objectives in this study are to analyze the correlation between cholesterol level and the severity of PD. Methods: This study is a cross sectional study. The sample is collected from patients with PD that came too neurology clinic in Prof Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado Hospital. Patients will then be assessed whether they meet the inclusion criteria which is examined using unified Parkinson disease rating scale (UPDRS) questionnaire and Hoehn and Yahr (H and Y). If the inclusion criteria are met, subject will be tested for total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL), and low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels in plasma.Results: There are 60 subjects of PD patients with mean age 64.37±8.26 years old. Male subjects were more dominant (53.3%) than female. Total cholesterol level and LDL have moderate negative correlation with UPDRS I, UPDRS II, UPDRS III, and UPDRS total score. Total cholesterol and LDL level also has moderate negative correlation with H and Y severity.Conclusions: There is a moderate negative correlation between total cholesterol level and LDL with PD severity degree based on H&Y degree and UPDRS I, II, III, and UPDRS total score.

Background: Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has become a world wellbeing compromise. The danger factors for unfavorable occasions of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) have not been very much depicted. This study aimed to explore clinical characteristics, laboratory results, and CT imaging characteristics of COVID-19 patients in Midnapore medical college and hospital and provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.Methods: In this retrospective, single-center study, data of all confirmed patients with COVID-19 admitted at SARI HDU of Midnapore medical college and hospital from 1st July to 21July 2021 were collected and analyzed. Data including clinical presentations, basic laboratory investigations, and CT severity scores were analyzed and compared between survival and death patients.Results: In this study total of 81 patients of COVID-19 admitted at SARI HDU were included (male=50, female=31). The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the outcome: survival group (n=38) and death group (n=43). Information on the overall clinical characteristics of the patients was collected, including age, sexual orientation, past medical history, clinical symptoms, and so on. Compared with the patients in the Survival group, the patients in the death group, the proportion of patients presented with Dyspnoea and suffering from Diabetes and hypertension were higher (p<0.05). In patients of the death group, TLC, CRP, D-dimer, urea, and creatinine had higher values, while the levels of albumin were significantly reduced, and the differences were statistically significant (p<0.05). Between the Survival group and death group, there was no significant difference in other indexes such as NLR, platelet count, and liver enzymes (SGOT, SGPT) (p>0.05). Conclusions: The risk factors of comorbidities, like diabetes, hypertension and others like leucocytosis, high CRP, high d-dimer, altered renal function, low serum albumin, and higher CT severity score could help clinicians identify patients with potential adverse events.

Authors: Saproo Nipun , Singh Roma
Published: September 2021

Background: Peripheral neuropathies are a heterogeneous group of disorders, but common among patients attending neurology clinics. A systematic approach, like sural nerve biopsy, is the need of the hour, for a cost effective diagnosis. Studies have shown that nerve biopsy improves treatment in up-to 60% patients. Present study was conducted to evaluate the clinical profile and usefulness of sural nerve biopsy in peripheral neuropathy.Methods: A prospective study was conducted in the Department of Neurology in collaboration with Department of Pathology, Medanta: The Medicity, Gurugram, for a period of six months from January 2019- June 2019. Out of total 82 randomly selected patients, 43 patients were selected for nerve biopsy.Results: Mean age in the biopsy group was 45.61±19.24 years. Duration of illness was less than 1 year in 60.5% patients. In 39.5% of cases, nerve biopsies established the diagnosis and in total 77% of cases it was worthwhile.  Hansen’s disease was diagnosed in 44%, CIDP in 12%, Vasculitis in 14%, and diabetes in 7% patients. Biopsy proved more diagnostic when tingling and numbness was there. Diminished DTRs was also statistically significant symptom in biopsy favoring group. Nerve biopsy in multiple mononeuropathy (65.1%) proved more beneficial than in polyneuropathy (32.6%). Similarly, motor-sensory was a predominant presentation in 28 (65.1%) patients with nerve biopsy being more valuable.Conclusions: Nerve biopsy, having a good diagnostic yield, can be a useful aid in cases with multiple mono-neuropathy. It can be the key to prevent long term neurological complications in patients.
Unani management of vesical calculus: a case report
Authors: Khan Mohammad Shamim , Lari Qamrul Hasan
Published: September 2021

Vesical calculus (Hisat-e-Masanah) accounts approximately 5% of all urinary tract stones. It has bimodal peaks age of incidence at 3 years in children in developing countries, and 60 years in adulthood. Despite advance technology of lithotripsy, the management of vesical calculus in children remains a challenge due to difficulty in passing of stone fragments and adverse effect of surgery. Hence alternative and safe treatment like Unani system of medicine can be adopted to avoid surgical procedure. The present paper deals with a case study in which a 10 years old male child patient suffered from a single vesical calculus was treated with Unani pharmacopeial medicine; Qurs Kaknaj (2 tablets), Qurs Kushta Hajrul Yahood (1 tablet) and Sharbat Buzoori Motadil (10 ml syrup) twice a day as oral administration, with the aim to evaluate the efficacy of drugs and to avoid surgery. Patient has shown excellent and significant result as 8×5 mm size of a stone flushed out at 3rd day of treatment without any operation.

Background: Acute pancreatitis possess difficulty in diagnosis in its emergency presentation. Hence segregation of this disease from other specific or non-specific causes of acute abdomen is important. In majority of the suspected cases, the urinary trypsinogen-2 test strip can be used to detect this disease, especially in emergency set-up. The aim and objective of the study was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of urinary trypsinogen-2 and to compare it with that of the standard biochemical markers of acute pancreatitis serum amylase and serum lipase.Methods: All patients who presented to the surgical emergency with symptoms and signs suspicious of acute pancreatitis were included in the study, rapid urinary trypsinogen-2 test was done immediately at the bed side, serum amylase and lipase was send for all cases along with routine investigations.Results: The urinary trypsinogen-2 test was sensitive in 96.1% cases and specific in 82.6% cases. The sensitivity is superior to that of serum lipase (sensitivity-90.2%) and serum amylase (sensitivity-84.3%). The high sensitivity of the urinary trypsinogen-2 test resulted in very high negative predictive value of 90.5%, hence a negative test almost rules out the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis.Conclusions: In patients with acute abdominal pain with suspicion of acute pancreatitis seen in emergency department, a negative dipstick for urinary trypsinogen-2 rules out acute pancreatitis with high degree of probability and therefore appears to be more suitable for screening of acute pancreatitis.
