What Are the Economic Costs and Benefits of Home Vegetable Gardens?
Authors: Langellotto Gail
Published: July 2023

Home vegetable gardens are often promoted as a way to cut household costs by providing low-cost access to fruits and vegetables. How much can gardeners expect to spend and recoup from their efforts? An analysis of published data suggests that home vegetable gardens are profitable, if the fair market value of garden labor is excluded from calculated costs. On average, home vegetable gardens produce $677 worth of fruits and vegetables, beyond the cost of $238 worth of materials and supplies. Local environmental conditions, gardening practices, and crop choices will influence the actual net value realized by individual gardeners.

Authors: Vo Thi Hong Phuong , Nguyen Thi Ngoc Quyen , Ngo Thi Kim Cuc , Phan Dang Thuc Anh , Hoang Thi Lan Huong , Nguyen Phuoc Bich Ngoc
Published: July 2023

Background: Asthma is either a chronic respiratory disease or a serious global health problem that is common in all ages at a high rate. It seriously affects not only the physical health but also the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients.

Objectives: (1) To determine HRQoL score among asthmatic outpatients at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital; (2) To assess factors associated with HRQoL among asthmatic outpatients at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. Subjects and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 102 asthmatic outpatients at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital by using a self-administered questionnaire.

Results: The male-to-female patient ratio was 1.68/1. The mean age of study participants was 59.2 ± 15.39 (26-95). A large number of patients were unemployed (55.9%) and had a low education level (54.9%). Participants with comorbidities and time of being diagnosed with asthma over 10 years accounted for the highest percentage, 69.6%, and 48.0% respectively, but most patients were not hospitalized due to an acute asthma attack within the past year (88.2%). The most common type of inhaler being used was DPI or the combination of MDI and DPI (35.3%) whereas the prevalence of patients only using the Metered-Dose Inhalers (MDI) was 29.4%. There were 40.2% of patients who were severely affected. The mean value of the total HRQoL score was 4.27 ± 0.747. The domain that most impacted HRQoL was “Activity limitations” whereas “Symptoms” affected the least. Men had higher HRQoL than women (6.441 times); The participants who did not have asthma-related family history were likely to have better HRQoL than others (3.3 times); The patients who used MDI or DPI alone had higher HRQoL scores than the group used the combination of two devices (2.788 times).

Conclusions: Asthma remarkably affected asthmatic patients’ quality of life. The factors associated with HRQoL were gender, family history of asthma, and the type of inhaler.

The rise of the internet and social networks enabled the formation of a new public space, conducive to the broad exchange of ideas and the consolidation of a plural and democratic society. On the other hand, there is a growing concern about the dissemination of illegal or morally undesirable content, mainly due to the high speed and wide range in which the flow of information operates on networks. This article aims to study the current civil liability system of internet providers for illicit content created and disseminated by third parties through their platforms. The methodology adopted consists of a critical examination of doctrine, legislation and jurisprudence related to the matter. The advent of the Marco Civil da Internet presents flaws and advances in the regulation of the matter, reflecting the challenges in reconciling freedom of expression with an effective regime of protection and reparation to victims.
Clinical and pathological differential diagnosis of localised granulomatous skin lesions
Authors: Shynkarenko T.V.
Published: July 2023

Granulomas are focal infiltrates consisting mainly of macrophages or macrophage-derived cells (epithelioid, giant cells), chiefly in the case of impossibility or slow degradation of specific antigens. The variability of manifestations complicates the clinical and pathological diagnosis of granulomatous skin diseases due to individual patient reactivity and the specifics of often unidentified triggering factors. The mini-review analyses possible approaches to differentiating the most likely localised granulomatous lesions (granuloma annulare, sarcoidosis, tuberculides, leprosy, and lupus miliaris disseminates faciei) by providing recommendations on possible key clinical and histopathological characteristics. The review is illustrated by a case of a localized granulomatous lesion with features that are atypical but possible for some of the diseases discussed, with the most likely diagnosis of granuloma annulare (clinical course, localization, vertical infiltrates, destruction of elastic fibers, accumulation of mucin, solitary eosinophils). Pathologists need to consider different diagnostic approaches for different types of histological diagnoses, which may require opposite therapies. Therefore, the possibility of infection or foreign material in all types of granulomatous inflammation should be considered and PAS staining and polarized light microscopy should be recommended as basic steps in the examination. Special techniques such as Ziehl-Nielsen or Grocott methenamine silver should be also applied to identify the pathogen if necessary. It is essential to have enough tissue for histological examination, including immunohistochemical staining and polymerase chain reaction. Pathologists should not hesitate to ask for a larger tissue sample early in the disease if necessary.

Research on Measurement of Intra-industry Trade Level and Influencing Factors between China and Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Member Countries
Authors: Jiang Ya-Xuan
Published: July 2023

With the effective implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) on January 1, 2022, the world’s largest free trade area was officially launched. Based on the data from 2001 to 2021, a panel regression analysis was conducted using the intra-industry trade G-L measurement method based on indicators such as per capita income level, factor endowment difference, economic development level, foreign direct investment, geographical location, and cultural difference. With the result, the intra-industry trade level and influencing factors between China and RCEP member countries were studied to provide a reference for the development of intra-industry trade between China and RCEP. The results show that the level of economic development and foreign direct investment has a positive impact on intra-industry trade between China and RCEP members, and the level of demand similarity and the geographical and cultural differences have the opposite impact. It is suggested in this study that China needs to actively promote the implementation of RCEP-related policies, continuously reduce tariffs and trade barriers between member countries to achieve trade liberalization, and encourage new countries to join RCEP to promote global integration.

Authors: BOUALOULOU Nouhaila , BELHOUSSINE DRISSI Taoufiq , NSIRI Benayad
Published: July 2023

Parkinson's disease is a recognizable clinical syndrome with a variety of causes and clinical presentations; it represents a rapidly growing neurodegenerative disorder. Since about 90 percent of Parkinson's disease sufferers have some form of early speech impairment, recent studies on tele diagnosis of Parkinson's disease have focused on the recognition of voice impairments from vowel phonations or the subjects' discourse. In this paper, we present a new approach for Parkinson's disease detection from speech sounds that are based on CNN and LSTM and uses two categories of characteristics Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) and Gammatone Cepstral Coefficients (GTCC) obtained from noise-removed speech signals with comparative EMD-DWT and DWT-EMD analysis. The proposed model is divided into three stages. In the first step, noise is removed from the signals using the EMD-DWT and DWT-EMD methods. In the second step, the GTCC and MFCC are extracted from the enhanced audio signals. The classification process is carried out in the third step by feeding these features into the LSTM and CNN models, which are designed to define sequential information from the extracted features. The experiments are performed using PC-GITA and Sakar datasets and 10-fold cross validation method, the highest classification accuracy for the Sakar dataset reached 100% for both EMD-DWT-GTCC-CNN and DWT-EMD-GTCC-CNN, and for the PC-GITA dataset, the accuracy is reached 100% for EMD-DWT-GTCC-CNN and 96.55% for DWT-EMD-GTCC-CNN. The results of this study indicate that the characteristics of GTCC are more appropriate and accurate for the assessment of PD than MFCC.

Authors: TARIK Mouna , MNIAI Ayoub , JEBARI Khalid
Published: July 2023

The main aim of predictive maintenance is to minimize downtime, failure risks and maintenance costs in manufacturing systems. Over the past few years, machine learning methods gained ground with diverse and successful applications in the area of predictive maintenance. This study shows that performing preprocessing techniques such as oversampling and features selection for failure prediction, is promising. For instance, to handle imbalanced data, the SMOTE-Tomek method is used. For features selection, three different methods can be applied: Recursive Feature Elimination, Random Forest and Variance Threshold. The data considered in this paper for simulation is used in literature; it is applied to aircraft engine sensors measurements to predict engines failure, while the predicting algorithm used is a Support Vector Machine. The results show that classification accuracy can be significantly boosted by using the preprocessing techniques.

glycopyrrolate prevents spinal anesthesia induced hypotension in pregnant women who underwent cesarean section. However, the studies of
effect of glycopyrrolate on hypotension in elder patients undergoing spinal anesthesia are scarce in literature. Methods: In this prospective
comparative double blind study, 76 patients having age 60-90 years, posted for elective surgery under spinal anaesthesia were divided into two
equal groups. They received intramuscular injection of either glycopyrrolate 0.2mg (Group A) or 1 ml normal saline (0.9%) (Group B) 15 min
before giving spinal anaesthesia. Evaluation of incidence of hypotension, bradycardia, nausea and vomiting, ephedrine requirement, blood
pressure & heart rate was done. Results: Both groups were comparable in terms of age, gender, BMI and ASA grading. When mean SBP and mean
DBP was compared, group A had less episodes of hypotension and more stable BP throughout surgery and the difference was statistically
signicant at all events of time except at baseline. (P< 0.05) Patients in group A had fewer side effects (nausea, vomiting and bradycardia) (p<
0.05). Conclusion:-Preoperative intramuscular glycopyrrolate effectively reduced the incidence and severity of hypotension, patients
requirement of ephedrine and the incidence of nausea and vomiting in elder patients (60-90 years) undergoing spinal anesthesia.

Drug-induced exfoliative dermatitis also known as erythroderma is a group of rare and severe drug hypersensitivity
reactions involving skin and usually occurring from days to several weeks after drug exposure. Cutaneous drug eruptions
are one of the most common types of adverse reactions to medications. Although the etiology is often unknown, exfoliative dermatitis may be the
result of a drug reaction or underlying malignancy. In Ayurveda, this clinical entity can be correlated with Raksa(~skin disease). Acharya Sushruta
has described Raksa as Ksudra kustha and also as a Ksudra roga having dominance of Kapha dosha with clinical representation of eruptions with
pruritis. The word “Kustha”(~skin disease) is used in Ayurveda generally as a universal term for all types of skin disorders or manifestations.
Kustha is a Tridoshaja vyadhi mentioned in Ayurveda that undergoes manifestation in the Bahya rogamarga. Here we represent a case of 36-yr old
female patient complaining of reddish patches over left and right hypochondriac region with intense itching and burning sensation that has been
treated successfully with Rasa manikya, Prawal pishti, Kaishore guggulu, Avipattikar churna, Maha manjisthadi kashyam for 15 days of regular
treatment. The present case report illustrates the signicance of Shamana chikitsa in the management of Raksa.

Purpose: Urinary tract infection has always been a challenge in medical practice. The etiology and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of uropathogens constantly change and thus periodic screening is essential. This study was conducted to analyse the prole and antibiogram of urinary tract pathogens in a tertiary care hospital, coastal, Karnataka, South India and to investigate the action of Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum Linn.) essential oil on the isolates. Methods: During the study period of one year, 288 clean catch midstream urine samples were cultured by semi- quantitative method and the colonies were identied using standard techniques. Antibiotic sensitivity testing was performed by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method using Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) guidelines. In vitro antimicrobial potential of the essential oil of Tulsi against the pathogens was determined by disk diffusion technique. Results: Escherichia coli was the predominant organism isolated from the samples which showed a prevalence of 35.85% followed by Klebsiella spp., 24.53%. Majority of the Escherichia coli isolates were resistant to Noroxacin and Ampicillin. Most of the uropathogens in our study exhibited sensitivity to Tulsi essential oil. Conclusions: Analysis of the spectrum of uropathogens and their antibiotic sensitivity pattern in a particular locality is utmost necessary to decide on the empirical treatment of UTI. The phytochemicals present in plants possess antimicrobial properties which could be explored and utilized as they are cost effective and have lesser side effects.
EFFECTS OF PNEUMOPERITONEUM ON HEPATIC ENZYMES IN LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY AND VENTRAL HERNIA REPAIR

Background: In the sphere of medicine, the new period has seen signicant changes. With newer technology and access
to advanced services provided by various elds of medicine, surgical skills have improved from an older mindset of
bigger incision, better surgeries to a less tissue damaging, cosmetically acceptable small incision or laparoscopic surgeries that have better
patient acceptability. Every procedure has advantages and disadvantages, and laparoscopic surgeries are no different. Laparoscopic surgery side
effects on the patient's body are frequently disregarded. There are very few studies that support the link between laparoscopic surgery and an
increase in liver enzyme levels. Hepatocellular dysfunction brought on by CO2 pneumoperitoneum, diathermy-induced liver extrusion, injury to
a branch of the hepatic artery, or general anesthesia5. The purpose of this study was to assess the changes in blood liver enzymes before and after
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy and ventral hernia repair. 1. To study the incidence Objectives: of alterations in liver function following
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and ventral hernia repair in the Indian population. 2. To study the signicance of these alterations in patients and
the safety of the procedures. The study will be conducted on 100 patients undergoing La Materials and Methods: paroscopic cholecystectomy
and ventral hernia repair under variable intraperitoneal pressure (12-14mmHg) at Mysore Medical College and Research institute. The study
will be designed to evaluate the complications of Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair especially the changes in liver enzymes. The liver function
tests will be further done 24 hrs later and in some patients liver function test will be repeated to monitor liver function. In this study, a Results:
statistically signicant rise in liver enzymes (SGOT, SGPT, ALP and S.Bilirubin ) was observed after 24 hrs of surgery as compared to
preoperative values (p<.001) and there was signicant positive correlation between duration of procedure and Post- operative day 1 values of
SGOT, SGPT and ALP. In laparoscopic cholecystectomy and ventral hernia repai Conclusion: r procedure results in a brief elevation of serum
bilirubin and liver enzymes due to fall in hepatoportal blood ow caused by raised intraperitoneal pressure by co2 insufation. The duration of
pneumoperitoneum is directly correlated with the elevation in liver enzymes, so duration of procedure should be reduced as much as possible.
UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF AMA IN ETIOPATHOGENESIS OF METABOLIC SYNDROME
Authors: Mishra Shubhangi , Rajan Sujata
Published: July 2023

Recent past years have seen alarming increase in cases of metabolic syndrome with the overall prevalence rate of 33.5%. that too more in females (42.3%) than males (24.9%).1 Metabolic syndrome represents its relationship with metabolism and cluster of events like Abdominal (central) obesity, Elevated blood pressure, Elevated fasting plasma glucose, High serum triglycerides and Low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels. All these conditions overall increase the cardiovascular risks. in ayurveda, no terminology has been found for Metabolic Syndrome but Mandagni is said to be the cause for all the diseases and the substance which is not digested properly or the substance which is partially metabolized due to mandagni is considered as AMA. Ama causes obstruction of the srotas (channels) and leads to the accumulation of metabolic toxins or the formation of sama rasa and sama medo dhatu, which explains the condition like diabetes Mellitus and enlarged circumference in terms of ayurveda. Also similar to Metabolic Syndrome described in contemporary medicine, Sthaulya as stated in ayurveda is a cluster of various pathological conditions and shows similar symptoms as MS. So, by exploring the concept of ama, pathogenesis of Metabolic Syndrome can be better understood in ayurvedic context.
