Authors: Udayakumar S , Pushpalatha K , Sagar H M Naveen , Swathi M , Yoganand Raksha , Sushma C
Published: June 2020

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic utility of Typhidot-M and Widal test in the early diagnosis of enteric fever (EF) in terms of sensitivity and specificity. Methods: The study included 270 children in the age group of 1-18 years admitted to the Department of Pediatrics from November 2012 to February 2014, with fever of 5 days or more and with clinical symptoms and signs suggestive of typhoid fever. Detailed history and clinical examination findings were recorded on a standard pro forma. Complete hemogram (hemoglobin, platelet count, and total and differential leukocyte count), Typhidot-M test, Widal tube test, and blood culture weredone on day 1 of admission. For Widal test, a titer of 1 in 160 or more for “O” agglutinins and a titer of 1 in 320 or more for “H” agglutinins were considered as positive results. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value  (NPV) were calculated. Results: Of 270 children included in the study, Salmonella typhi was isolated from 82 samples (30.4%) and the remaining 188 (69.6%) were blood culture negative. Widal test was positive in 107 children (39.6%) and Typhidot-M was positive in 136 (50.4%). The sensitivity was 78%, specificity was 79.3%, PPV was 59.8%, and NPV was 91.4% for Widal test. Typhidot-M test had a sensitivity of 81.7%, specificity of 84.6%, PPV of 69.8%, and NPV of 91.4%. Conclusion: Prompt diagnosisof EF is essential for appropriate management and it is, therefore, important to have a satisfactory test to replace conventional tests used for diagnosis. The present study compares newer test (Typhidot-M) against conventional tests such as Widal test and blood culture, and it appears to be a practical alternative to Widal test in the early detection of EF even in the resource-poor laboratories as it neither requires much laboratory equipment nor laboratory expertise to conduct the test. This test can be done within 7 days of illness, but whenever feasible confirmation with blood culture is strongly recommended, especially with the well-documented presence of multidrug-resistant strains of salmonella typhi worldwide. However, both Widal and Typhidot-M appear to correlate less satisfactorily with blood culture, and thus, there is a need for developing a test which allows accurate and early diagnosis of EF to manage a child effectively and limit its morbidity and mortality.

Congenital malaria: Is it really rare? A case report
Authors: Rana Sudhir Kumar , Singh Kuldeep , Anand Udit , Jain Shruti
Published: June 2020

A 7-day-old term male infant weighing 2.4 kg was admitted with fever, pallor, icterus, and splenomegaly for 3 days. The primi mother was treated for pyrexia in the last trimester. Investigation revealed anemia, hyperbilirubinemia, and thrombocytopenia and demonstrated Plasmodium vivax in peripheral blood smear and card test. C-reactive protein was raised and blood culture was sterile. The baby was responded well to intravenous (IV) artesunate. Recent studies suggest that congenital malaria (CM) is not as rare as previously thought. Cord blood shows greater parasitemia as compared to neonatal blood. Besides light microscopy, plasmodium antigen detection and polymerase chain reaction of blood may help in diagnosis. CM can be confused with toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex syndrome, and neonatal sepsis.

Published: June 2020

Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the effect of internet use on the psychosomatic health of adolescent school children in Rourkela. Methods: The study involved a population of 484 school students of Rourkela in the age groups of 13-18 years. History taking and clinical examination were done to know any existing health problem. Young people’s internet usage questionnaire” was handed over to enquire internet use practices. The parents of these children were asked to fill in “pediatric symptom checklist” to know psychological problems. Each answered questionnaire was given a specific serial number. The data collected from these matched sets of questionnaires as per serial number were analyzed using Chi-square test and ANOVA (to compare average number of health problems among the groups). A p<0.05 is considered significant. Results: It was found that more frequent internet user suffered from sleeplessness (p=0.048), increased interest in sexual activity (p<0.001), and conduct problems (p=0.013). Getting cyberbullied had statistically significant association with increased interest in sex (p=0.012), low mood (p=0.001), lack of concentration (p<0.001), anxiety (p=0.002), aggression (p=0.003), backache (p=0.001), headache (p=0.001), eye pain (p<0.001), and attention problems (p=0.017). Visiting porn sites were associated with interest in sex (p<0.001), low mood (p<0.001), lack of concentration (p=0.020), and unexplained anxiety (p<0.001). Conclusions: Frequency of internet use, cyberbullying, and visiting pornographic sites had a significant association with some physical and psychological health problems.

Authors: Chaudhary G S , Kumar Avinash , Shashtri Madhurmay , Chaudhary Vidya
Published: June 2020

Background: Immunoglobulin E (IgE) and associated cellular responses such as absolute eosinophil count (AEC) are responsible for allergic airway diseases. A hypersensitivity reaction initiated by immunological mechanisms, mediated by IgE antibodies, and eosinophils occur in allergic asthma. Objective: To compare the total serum IgE level and AEC levels among asthmatic and non-asthmatic children. Methods: The present study was conducted in the department of pediatrics and TB and Chest of a Medical College of North India from October 2015 to November 2016. Children from 3 years to 18 years, 30 with bronchial asthma and 30 healthy children were included in this study randomly. Results: The mean total serum IgE level in children with bronchial asthma was significantly higher (700.97±571.01 IU/ml) than that in healthy children (189.33±14.29 IU/ml). The mean AEC was also significantly higher in cases (746.63±492.02 cells/mm3) as compared to healthy children (220.23±121.69 cells/mm3). In bronchial asthma group, mean AEC increased with the increasing severity of asthma. Conclusion: The elevated level of total serum IgE and AEC may demonstrate the allergic etiology of asthma and hence, estimation of serum IgE and AEC levels can be considered as laboratory investigations in diagnosing cases of bronchial asthma.

Published: June 2020

Background: Malnutrition being the biggest contributor to child mortality and morbidity is highly prevalent among preschool children in India. The state of Kerala which tops the list in most of the health indicators in India is no exception to wide prevalence of malnutrition in children. Objective: To assess the nutritional status of Anganwadi children aged 2-5 years in a rural area of North Kerala. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was done among Anganwadi children between 2 and 5 years of age from January 2013 to March 2013 at Cheruthazham, Kannur district of Kerala. Cluster sampling method was used for the study. Height and weight of the children were measured using the standard anthropometric equipment, and body mass index was calculated. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 17, Microsoft Excel 2007. Results: In accordance with the WHO criteria, 14.6% of children were underweight; 10.6% stunted and 16.6% were wasted. Underweight, stunting, and wasting were most prevalent in 2-3-year-old children and minimum among 3-4-year-old children. Underweight and wasting were more prevalent among female children than their male counterparts. Stunting was more in male children. Conclusion: Results of the present study showed that the nutritional status of the children in studied population was good comparing with other studies. Nutrition, health education and good access, and utilization of healthcare can be very effective interventions which could result in substantial reduction in undernutrition in children.

Published: June 2020

Background: Acute otitis media (AOM) is the most common childhood illness necessitating medical therapy for children younger than 5 years. Long-term and exclusive breastfeeding is associated with protection against AOM. However, faulty feeding position and habits can lead to the occurrence of AOM in infants. Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess the risk of occurrence of AOM with faulty feeding positions during the 1st year of life. Materials and Methods: All breastfed infants <1 year with a provisional diagnosis of AOM, during August 2015 - January 2016 (6 months), were included in the study. Syndromic children, children with craniofacial anomalies, bottle-fed infants, and those not willing to participate in the study were excluded from the study. Demographic details and detailed history, especially, the feeding position were collected from the parents. Diagnosis of AOM was confirmed by a senior ENT surgeon after otoscopic examination. Results: 118 children with AOM were statistically analyzed. They aged between 1 month and 12 months with a mean of 6.8 and standard deviation of 4.1 months. There were 68 (57.62%) males and 50 (42.37%) females. No statistical significance was observed for sex or laterality with AOM. A statistically significant correlation was observed between AOM and age groups, AOM and position of the baby. Conclusion: In this study, we have observed that feeding the infant in supine position significantly increases the risk of AOM in infants.

Background: The infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices have crucial role for physical and mental development of the child. Objective: To study the compliance to IYCF practices and impact of IYCF counseling in and around Patna district. Methods: Cross-sectional study was done in a hospital-based survey to find out compliance, and impact of IYCF practice counseling among infants and children attending a tertiary level hospital, Patna. Children in the age group, 6-24 months in and around Patna, were studied. Results: About 24% of the mothers initiated breastfeeding within an hour after birth. Exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months was practiced only by 36% of the mothers. Nearly, 43% of the mothers started complementary feeding at 6 months, and 45% of the infants were breastfed for 2 years. In the present study, 26% of mothers were using as age-appropriate complementary feeding and 35% of the mothers were feeding actively their child both during and after illness. Conclusion: Despite 3 years of counseling, compliance to IYCF practice in our area is low, and thus, the impact of IYCF counseling is poor in our area. Low knowledge score of mothers, lesser number of antenatal care visit is found to be an important factor responsible for low compliance.
Relationship between maternal iron and cord blood iron status: A prospective study
Authors: Swetha K , Tarakeswararao P , Saisunilkishore M
Published: June 2020

Background: Iron sufficiency is of paramount importance in the neonatal period. Controversy exists whether the transfer of iron to the fetus from the mother is determined by fetal demands or by maternal iron stores. Numerous studies correlating maternal and neonatal iron stores revealed conflicting results. Aims: To study the relationship between maternal and neonatal iron indices at birth and to observe the impact of gestational age on iron stores in neonates. Methods and Materials: This prospective study was conducted in neonatal care unit of the tertiary hospital. Total 195 mother and newborn pairs are enrolled in the study. Neonates were divided into groups based on gestational age. The maternal venous samples were collected 1 h ± 15 min before the delivery. Cord blood sample and venous samples were drawn from a peripheral vein in neonates who came for follow-up at 4 weeks. Samples were analyzed for hemoglobin (Hb), serum ferritin, serum iron, and total iron-binding capacity. Results: Significant positive correlation was found between maternal Hb and neonatal ferritin (Pearson’s correlation coefficient =0.26, p=0.002) and maternal iron and neonatal iron (Pearson’s correlation coefficient =0.294, p=0.000). Ferritin concentration of cord blood samples in neonates born to mothers with ferritin levels <12 ?g/L showed significant correlation. Mean ferritin in preterm neonates (128.9±80.7 ?g/dl) was significantly lower than in term neonates (156.9±78.6 ?g/dl) (p=0.040). Mean Hb in preterm neonates (14.5±2.1 g/dl) was significantly lower than in term neonates (15.0±2.1 g/dl) (p=0.028). 4-week samples showed significantly lower serum iron concentrations in preterm when compared to term group. Serum ferritin levels at birth showed positive correlation at 4 weeks. (Pearson’s correlation coefficient =0.211, p=0.028). Conclusions: Neonatal iron stores are affected in case of severe maternal iron deficiency indicated by ferritin levels <12 ?g/L. Gestational age has a significant impact on neonatal iron stores. Neonates with a deficient iron store at birth likely to have low iron stores at 4 weeks.

Published: June 2020

Background: Congenital abnormalities are major contributors of neonatal mortality and stillbirths. However, there is not sufficient data in our country on the prevalence of various congenital malformations and their impact on neonatal mortality. Objectives: To study the prevalence and pattern of congenital anomalies among neonates delivered in a tertiary hospital setting in 3 years and its impact on perinatal and neonatal mortality. Materials and Methods: This hospital based prospective descriptive study was undertaken at tertiary care hospital in Kerala. All babies born in the hospital from January 2013 to December 2015 (3 years) were included in the study. The baby was examined by a pediatrician during the first 24 h to identify any birth defects. A detailed history including familial and gestational factors was taken in babies with birth defects. Photographs, radiographs, ultrasound examination, echocardiography, and chromosomal studies were undertaken as required. The details were entered in a pro forma. The anomalies are classified as per ICD-10 criteria. Results were analyzed by simple statistical techniques recording number and percentage of cases. Results: The prevalence of birth defects in live born newborn was 1.9% whereas, in stillbirths, it was 15.3%. Congenital anomalies also contributed a major risk factor for neonatal death as 22% of the newborns, died in the immediate neonatal period, had some form of congenital anomaly. The major maternal risk factor found to be associated with congenital anomalies was gestational diabetes (21.3%). The patterns of congenital anomalies were musculoskeletal anomalies (25%), central nervous system (18%), genitourinary system (14%), congenital diaphragmatic hernia (12%), cardiovascular system (10%), gastrointestinal (7%), syndromes (6%), non-immune hydrops (5%), and others (3%). Conclusion: Prevalence of birth defects in this birth cohort was 1.9% comparable to other Indian data. In Kerala, one of the major causes of perinatal and neonatal mortality is congenital malformations.

Published: June 2020

Abstract: This study explored environmental antecedents of online word-of-mouth (WOM) within the realm of information value and empirically assessed their influences on both low- and high-informativeness WOM behaviors (i.e., like and share behaviors, respectively) in a natural online setting (i.e., Facebook pages of professional sport teams). With survey data and online secondary data, content analysis and negative binomial regression were conducted. The results revealed the significant impacts of environmental antecedents associated with content provision and game attractiveness on fans’ like and share behaviors. The findings confirmed the importance of information value in determining online WOM behavior and shed new light on the investigation of this consumer behavior in sport marketing communications. Actionable suggestions are implicated in terms of utilizing the identified environmental variables to maximize the marketing benefits of fans’ online WOM behavior.

ER stress and autophagy induced by SARS-CoV-2: The targets for melatonin treatment
Authors: Boga Jose Antonio , Coto-Montes Ana
Published: June 2020

Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is a viral disease caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Like other coronaviral infections, SARS-CoV-2 causes oxidative and ER stress triggering cellular response pathways, mainly PERK and IRE1 branches of the UPR. This excessive oxidative stress and the increasing of unfolded and misfolded proteins induce autophagy. Once this process is triggered, the blockage of the fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes induced by virus leads to an incomplete autophagy. Double-membraned vesicles, which create a membranous support for viral RNA replication complexes, are formed. Melatonin is a pleiotropic molecule, which reduces oxidative and ER stress, regulates immune system, and modulates autophagy pathway. Thus, melatonin reinforces UPR and unlocks autophagy blockage, allowing autophagosomes to bind to lysosomes, completing the process of autophagy and decreasing viral replication capacity. Based on these activities of melatonin the recommendation of melatonin for patients with COVID-19 should be seriously considered, especially in elderlies and patients with different comorbidities, which are the highest risk population for serious cases.

This article argues that the Indonesian people will never forget the services and roles of Egypt, the country that first recognized Indonesian independence. History recorded that the first recognition of the sovereignty of Indonesia is not done by Western countries, especially the United States who often claim him as a promoter of freedom and human rights (human rights). Indonesia's struggle for independence is supported firstly and heroically by the Muslim countries in the Arab, not others because of the spiritual-emotional relationships and civil Islam in all of the countries and nations. At that time, Arab world have felt, how strong ukhuwah Islamiyyah (Islamic solidarity and linkage) between the Indonesian people and with Arab nations who are struggling for their independence.

Pelaksanaan Ujian Nasional di Indonesia telah menggunakan komputerisasi guna menggantikan sistem yang lama yaitu ujian nasional menggunakan kertas dan pensil. Adanya ujian nasional berbasis komputer, memberikan keuntungan dalam hal efisiensi waktu, biaya, mengurangi kecurangan, dan mempercepat proses evaluasi. Madrasah Aliyah Al Hadi yang berada di desa Banyumeneng, Kecamatan Mranggen, Demak merupakan sekolah yang telah menyelenggarakan Ujian Nasional Berbasis Komputer (UNBK). Namun berdasarkan Rekap Hasil Ujian Nasional (UN) Tingkat Sekolah tahun pelajaran 2017/2018 ketiga Program Studi pada Madrasah Aliyah Al Hadi masih masuk pada kategori Kurang. Kurangnya nilai UN siswa pada beberapa Program Studi tersebut, dapat disebabkan oleh kurangnya siswa dalam berlatih (try out) mengerjakan soal-soal UN dengan menggunakan komputer. Paperless Test System merupakan sistem yang dikembangkan dari penelitian untuk mengevaluasi hasil belajar siswa, dengan memberikan test yang dikerjakan secara online dengan batas waktu tertentu. Ketrampilan dalam pembuatan bank soal diberikan kepada guru-guru MA Al Hadi pada pelatihan penggunaan aplikasi Paperless Test System. Hasil pelatihan menunjukkan guru-guru MA Al Hadi menjadi lebih mengenal dan memahami penggunaan sistem ujian tanpa kertas sebagai media evaluasi hasil belajar siswa.

Pendampingan Pemanfaatan Ruang Sempit Menuju Lahan Produktif Melalui Sistem Pertanian Terintegrasi bagi Warga Pendrikan Kidul
Authors: Tamamy Aries Jehan
Published: June 2020

Tingkat kepadatan penduduk yang cenderung tinggi sejalan dengan proses pembangunan yang juga semakin cepat. Hal itu menyebabkan adanya perubahan pola penggunaan lahan, sehingga ruang – ruang alami terdesak karena beralih fungsi menjadi ruang terbangun seperti area pemukiman. Permasalahan tentang keterbatasan lahan sebagai ruang alami tersebut, dapat diselesaikan dengan menggunakan teknik bercocok tanam pada media terbatas seperti aquaponik. Metode ini dinilai tepat dikarenakan dapat disusun bertingkat/vertikal. Masalah yang dihadapi oleh warga Pendrikan Kidul adalah terkait dengan semakin sempitnya area terbuka hijau yang dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai lahan produktif. Berkurangnya lahan terbuka hijau diakibatkan lahan – lahan tersebut beralih fungsi menjadi rumah-rumah penduduk dan sebagainya. Selain itu juga adanya keterbatasan pengetahuan dari warga sekitar, yang belum memahami bagaimana inovasi dan terobosan yang dapat dilakukan untuk memanfaatkan lahan yang terbatas menjadi lahan produktif. Dari permasalahan tersebut, diharapkan dengan adanya metode pemanfaatan lahan  sempit menggunakan sistem Aquaponic nantinya akan dapat meningkatkan daya inovasi, produktifitas dalam bidang pertanian, meningkatkan penghasilan, serta meningkatkan swasembada pangan bagi warga Pendrikan Kidul. Rencana pengabdian ini juga sekaligus mendukung program dari Pemerintah Kota Semarang yang disampaikan oleh Bapak Walikota, bahwa mulai Oktober 2018 hingga April 2019 mendatang akan diadakan lomba “Kampung Hebat”, yang salah satu kategorinya adalah “Kampung Bersih dan Hijau.

Essential Tea Tree Oil Activity against Bremia lactucae in Lettuce
Authors: Reuveni Moshe , Cohen Yigal R.
Published: June 2020

Downy mildew caused by the oomycete Bremia lactucae Regel is a serious disease of lettuce in field and greenhouse production. Here we report on the antifungal activity of essential Australian tea tree oil (TTO) derived from Melaleuca alternifolia against downy mildew in lettuce. Preventive treatments with Timorex Gold (STK Ltd., Petach Tikva, Israel), fungicide containing TTO, suppressed the development of B. lactucae on cotyledons and young lettuce plants. Epifluorescence microscopy showed that TTO had a moderate inhibitory effect on spore germination of the pathogen but a strong inhibitory effect on sporophore emergence and hence on sporulation. Timorex Gold (22.3 EC W/V) was as effective as copper hydroxide in controlling the disease in organic field plots. It was as effective as the fungicides Bellis (Boscalid + Pyraclostrobin; BASF, Germany) and Commet (pyraclostrobin; BASF, Germany) in conventional production. The results demonstrate that Timorex Gold effectively suppresses the development of downy mildew in lettuce in growth chambers as well as in the field, and thus suitable biopesticide for its control.
