Objective: The significance of diagnosing the root reason for syncope and taking the required preventive or treatment measures cannot be overlooked when it comes to outcome prediction. This study endeavors to examine the role of proBNP in differentiating cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic syncope in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED). Methods: We prospectively performed a cross-sectional study on patients presenting with acute syncope. All the patients for this investigation were followed up until the definite cause of their syncope (cardiac or non-cardiac) was diagnosed and the screening performance characteristics of proBNP in differentiation of cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic syncope were evaluated. Results: Three hundred patients with syncope were studied (64.7% male). In the end, the cause of syncope was determined to be cardiogenic in 133 cases (44.3%). The area under the ROC curve of proBNP in the differentiation of cardiogenic syncope from non-cardiogenic was estimated to be 78.9 (95% CI: 73.5 – 84.3). The optimal cut-off point for proBNP in this regard was 143.5 pg/mL point. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and positive and negative likelihood ratios of proBNP in the mentioned cut-off point were 75.39% (95% CI: 67.61–82.73), 75.44% (95% CI: 68.07–81.62), 71.12% (95% CI: 62.82–78.26), 79.74% (95% CI: 72.46–85.54), 2.46 (95% CI: 1.86–3.25), and 0.25 (95% CI: 0.18–0.34), respectively. Conclusion: The accuracy of proBNP in differentiation of cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic syncope is fair. ProBNP concentration equals to or higher than 143.5 pg/mL can differentiate cardiogenic syncope from non-cardiogenic with 75% sensitivity and 76% specificity. It seems that its use for this purpose should be considered with caution and along with other tools.

Objective: An outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) occurred in late 2019. A better understanding of this disease will help us in preventing and managing it. This study evaluated the risk factors and clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients admitted to Shahid Sadoughi hospital in Yazd with a diagnosis of COVID-19. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on patients with the diagnosis of COVID-19 admitted to Shahid Sadoughi hospital in Yazd in May 2020, Iran. Patients’ clinical information, including their symptoms at admission, history of smoking or drug/ alcohol abuse, history of Td (tetanus, diphtheria) vaccine, radiographic/computed tomography (CT) scan findings, and blood oxygen saturation, was recorded. The patients were also asked about their previous history of diabetes, hypertension, autoimmune disorder, and cancer or history of diseases in heart, lung, liver, and thyroid. Laboratory findings, height, weight and body mass index of the patients were also recorded. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 21. Results: The mean age of 86 patients enrolled in the study was 61.40±17.37 years, of which 56 (65.11%) had mild pulmonary involvement and 30 (34.89%) had severe pulmonary involvement, according to CT scan results. Also, 26 (30.2%) of all patients had diabetes and about 30 (36%) had high blood pressure, but current smokers (6%) were rare. In patients with severe pulmonary involvement, the level of neutrophil, creatinine, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was higher than patients with mild pulmonary involvement. Out of 56 patients with mild pulmonary involvement, 47 patients had a history of Td vaccination in the last 5 years. Only one patient in the severe group had a history of Td vaccination. Conclusion: A lower percentage of blood lymphocytes as well as higher levels of neutrophils, creatinine, and LDH were observed in patients with severe pulmonary involvement. Numerous factors, especially more prominent laboratory abnormalities, determine the severity of the disease, and a better understanding of these factors can help physicians know the severity of the disease and its prognosis. These findings help us to further clarify the characteristics of COVID-19. Also, the effect of Td vaccine should be investigated in future studies.

Objective: Intoxication is among the most common causes of emergency department (ED) visits. Activated charcoal is one of the useful treatments preventing poison absorption. However, nausea caused by using charcoal has made this substance less acceptable among patients. This study aims at investigating the influence of using cold charcoal on reducing the nausea among poisoned patients. Methods: This clinical experimental trial study approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Regional School of Medicine of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences with the code 930106. Randomization was provided by Sealed Envelope. Accordingly, the experimental group received cold charcoal (4ᵒC), while the control group received room temperature charcoal (23ᵒC). We used the coding method in order to double blind the study. After half and one hour, nausea was checked in patients by visual numeric scale (VNS). Data were described by using descriptive and analytic test indices including frequency, mean ± standard deviation and suitable charts and tables. Results: The average age of participants was 25.83±7.05. The severity of nausea half an hour after consuming charcoal in cold charcoal group and experimental group was 1.3 and 2.73, respectively (P<0.001). One hour after consuming charcoal, the severity of nausea in cold charcoal group and experimental group was 0.39 and 1.38 (P<0.001). As indicated by the results of the study and after investigating the changing trend of nausea severity, nausea severity decreased in both groups by passing time from half to one hour (P<0.001). Conclusion: Cold charcoal can reduce the rate of nausea and make it more acceptable among patients.

Published: August 2022

Objective: Awareness of the severity of trauma and the outcome of patients can help physicians decide how long to treat patients. The objective of this study is to design a new score (R-GAP: Revised-GCS, Age, Pressure) for multi-trauma patients and determine its predictive value concerning in-hospital outcome of these patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in the emergency ward of Imam Reza (AS) and Shohada hospitals (referral centers for trauma patients) affiliated to Tabriz University of Medical Sciences from 2019 to 2020. The sample size of this study was estimated to be 2000 people. Required information was collected and the final diagnosis of the patients was recorded. The hospital outcome was recorded at the time of discharge. Patients’ outcome was also recorded using the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) system. Based on the obtained data, GAP, R-GAP, new trauma score (NTS) scores were also collected and their results were compared with the designed model. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and logistic regression were used to analyze the predictive value of the scores. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 34.09 (± 15.23) years. The highest outcome of patients based on the GOS system was recovery, moderate disability, and severe disability with 1309 cases (54.9%), 743 cases (31.2%), and 212 cases (8.9%), respectively. The mean of GAP, R-GAP, and NTS scores were 21.83 (± 3.1), 21.47 (± 3.4), and 21.27 (± 3.3), respectively. The intensity of GAP, R-GAP, and NTS in most subjects was low with 2143 cases (89.9%), 1994 cases (83.6%), and 2138 cases (89.7%). Among the significant variables included in the regression model, O2sat, primary GCS, GAP, R-GAP, and NTS with modulation on other variables, significantly equalized the mortality chance by 0.416, 0.622, 0.595, 0.601, 0.637, respectively (P value<0.001). Conclusion: According to the study results, it seems that GAP, R-GAP, and NTS respectively, have the highest strength of predictive value in the survival of patients with multiple traumas. It is suggested that a comprehensive study be conducted to better estimate this issue.

Objective: Chest pain is amongst the most frequently occurring symptoms in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED). Accurate and fast risk stratification is paramount for identification of patients with immediate risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The present study has compared different scoring systems like HEART (History, ECG, Age, Risk factors, Troponin), Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI), and Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) scores and their efficacy in predicting incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). Methods: The present prospective observational study was conducted on 199 patients who presented in the ED with complaint of chest pain. HEART, GRACE and TIMI scores were calculated with collected patient data which was further evaluated for efficacy by calculating area under ROC curves (AUCs). Data were analyzed by using R statistical software version 4.0.3 and Microsoft Excel. P value less than or equal to 0.05 indicates statistical significance. Results: In the current study, 76 (38%) patients reported MACE. The HEART score identified the largest number of patients as high risk 74 (37%) and among them 69 patients developed a MACE. The AUC of HEART score was the highest with 0.96 (95% CI: 0.93-0.98), followed by TIMI score with 0.815 (95% CI: 0.75-0.873) and the GRACE score with 0.814 (95% CI: 0.75- 0.813). The sensitivity of HEART score of ≥7 for MACE was found to be 90.78%, specificity was 95.96%, positive predictive value (PPV) was 93.24% and negative predictive value (NPV) was 94.4%. The sensitivity of GRACE score was 39.4%, specificity was 95.16%, PPV was 83.3% and NPV was 71.95%. The sensitivity of TIMI score was 30.2%, specificity was 95.96%, PPV was 82.14% and NPV was 69.18%. Conclusion: The HEART score showed higher efficacy in predicting risk levels in patients and incidence of MACE in comparison with GRACE and TIMI scores in the included study cohort.

Published: August 2022

Objective: Hypothyroidism has many causes and manifestations in children. One of the causes is autoimmunity, which is known as autoimmune thyroiditis or Hashimoto thyroiditis. Pseudotumor cerebri is a rare manifestation of Hashimoto thyroiditis. Here we report a 10-year-old girl with asymptomatic papillary edema who was treated with levothyroxine and acetazolamide. Case Presentation: A 10-year-old girl suffered from left eye trauma while playing volleyball and went to an ophthalmology center due to redness in the same eye. During the examination, they noticed a bilateral optic disc swelling without ocular inflammation and the other eye examination was within normal limits. Encephalopathy may rarely occur during autoimmune thyroiditis, which is known as Hashimoto encephalopathy, and it is stated that the autoimmune disorder is not related to the thyroid dysfunction characterized by the symptoms of decreased level of consciousness and seizures. Conclusion: The diagnosis of hypothyroidism in children is usually made by examining the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and T4 in which TSH is elevated and T4 is decreased as in our patient.

The unbalanced growth observed around major cities and regions in Mexico stemming mostly from the neoliberal strategy implemented by Mexico in the last forty years is manifested with great intensity in the CDMX megalopolis located in the central region, the most populated of Mexico’s seven economic regions vid, Luis-Pineda, O.(Sep, 2021), which, although benefited by the economic boom of economic globalization, has inflicted enormous social and externalities to this region such as environmental costs such as air, soil pollution deterioration and myriad other socioeconomic effects on its population, generating as well a non-inclusive urban-regional development in the country, especially Mexico city ́s macrocephalic growth in Mexico ́s Center region, vid, Luis-Pineda, O. (feb, 2022).Worthwhile mentioning are pulmonary affectations as well as other health problems on its inhabitants due to the giant human and industrial concentration on this region, as a consequence of pollution by greenhouse gases CO2 along with others toxic air pollutants which altogether increase people’s proclivity to acquire lung cancer and various other diseases and make them more fragile vis-à-vis the pandemia. Explaining the severity of the lethality of this scourge among its major municipalities as around Mexico City’ vicinity (CDMX) in the recent past.

Published: August 2022

La alternancia o producción irregular del nogal pecanero presenta índices que varían de 23 a 94 % en la Comarca Lagunera, por lo que se evaluaron 14 huertas en producción entre 1995 y 1997 con el objetivo de estudiar la relación entre la salinidad, sodicidad y fertilidad del suelo, número de riegos y características de planta sobre la producción de nuez y su alternancia. Las variables registradas fueron características físicas y químicas del suelo, número de raíces del árbol, concentración foliar de 10 nutrimentos, área de la sección transversal del tronco, rendimiento de nuez por árbol, peso de una nuez, el porcentaje de almendra y el número de riegos en el ciclo. El análisis de las variables se realizó aplicando la técnica multivariada de análisis de componentes principales. Se encontró que los valores superiores a 3 % de sodio intercambiable redujeron el área transversal del tronco y el rendimiento de nuez por árbol, pero estabilizan la producción al disminuir la alternancia. La conductividad eléctrica mayor a 3 dS m-1 se asocia con menor área transversal del tronco y rendimiento de nuez por árbol. Con los riegos con intervalos menores de 20 días durante el desarrollo de la almendra, se incrementó el número de raíces por árbol, el área transversal del tronco y el rendimiento de nuez por árbol, aunque se redujo la concentración foliar de zinc.

Published: August 2022

El comportamiento de 57 accesiones de maíz fue evaluado a través de cruzas de prueba usando dos poblaciones y dos líneas endogámicas como probadores, con el propósito de identificar su potencial genético. La evaluación se realizó en dos ambientes, Cotaxtla, Ver. (Primavera-Verano 1997) y Tepalcingo, Mor. (OtoñoInvierno 1998-99), para lo cual se establecieron dos experimentos. El experimento I consistió en las cruzas obtenidas entre 42 accesiones con dos poblaciones, POB21 (Tuxpeño) y POB32 (ETO). El experimento II incluyó las cruzas parciales de 31 accesiones con las líneas CML-247 y CML-254. Los experimentos se establecieron en diseños de bloques incompletos, en látice simple 9x10 y 6x7, respectivamente, con dos repeticiones por localidad. Los probadores de amplia y reducida base genética fueron eficientes para identificar el potencial genético y la habilidad combinatoria de las accesiones utilizadas. Las mejores cruzas fueron seleccionadas con base en su comportamiento per se y en los efectos genéticos aditivos y no aditivos. De los análisis genéticos del Experimento I (criollos por poblaciones) se identificaron a las accesiones TAM131, CUBA137, JAL285 y SIN70 como los de mayores efectos de aptitud combinatoria general (ACG). De las mejores cruzas identificadas en el Experimento II, las accesiones PUERGP5A, CUBA134, CUBA28, CUBA72 y CUBA79 obtuvieron los valores más altos de ACG, mientras que las cruzas con altos valores de aptitud combinatoria específica (ACE) fueron CHIS567xPOB21, PUERGP5AxPOB21, OAX220xPOB32 y CUBA79xCML254. En la identificación de accesiones para ser utilizados en fases posteriores de mejoramiento, se puede considerar además del comportamiento per se, su aptitud combinatoria.

Published: August 2022

Con el fin de conocer los genes presentes en plántula y el tipo de resistencia en plántula y en planta adulta de 50 genotipos de trigo (Triticum aestivum L.), se hicieron evaluaciones en plántula con 12 razas de roya de la hoja del trigo (Puccinia triticina E.) y con la raza MCJ/SP en invernadero y campo respectivamente. Entre los 50 genes designados que confieren resistencia a la roya de la hoja, se identificaron 12 presentes, solos o en combinación. Estos genes fueron Lr1, 2a, 3, 3bg, 10, 13, 16, 17, 23, 26, 27+31, y otros genes aún no identificados. Lr1 fue el más común en plántula. En planta adulta, los 50 genotipos se clasificaron en dos grupos cada uno con dos subgrupos; el primero estuvo formado por genotipos susceptibles en plántula a MCJ/SP, ya sea resistentes y susceptibles en planta adulta; el segundo grupo estuvo formado por genotipos resistentes en plántula a MCJ/SP, y resistentes o susceptibles en planta adulta. De los 50 genotipos evaluados, sólo 50 % mostró un nivel de resistencia adecuado en planta adulta en condiciones de campo; 30 % combinó resistencia específica en plántula y resistencia de planta adulta. En el segundo ensayo 20 % de los genotipos mostraron resistencia parcial que puede ser de tipo durable y que puede ser más estable a través de ambientes, ejemplos de esta resistencia son las variedades Romoga, Tlaxcala y Juchi.

Authors: Martínez-Peniche Ramón Álvar
Published: August 2022

El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar las posibilidades de inducir una cosecha más temprana en uva de mesa cv. ‘Cardinal’ (Vitis vinifera L.) en San Miguel de Allende, Gto. Las vides fueron sometidas a cinco fechas de poda (12 y 20 de enero; 9, 17 y 24 de febrero; en 1995), cubiertas con plástico e irrigadas. El testigo fue dejado sin cubrir y podado el 24 de febrero. Las variables evaluadas fueron: porcentaje de brotación y floración, longitud de brotes, sólidos solubles totales, acidez total y color de la baya. Los tratamientos de poda temprana incrementaron el porcentaje de brotación a finales de marzo; sin embargo, a mediados de abril, todos los tratamientos mostraron una brotación similar. La mayor longitud de brotes para el 30 de marzo y el 12 de abril fue observada en las vides podadas el 20 de enero, mientras que el mayor porcentaje de floración para el 12 de abril fue encontrado en las vides podadas el 12 de enero (con 75%). Los tratamientos de poda aplicados los días 12 y 20 de febrero, y 9 de febrero, permitieron una maduración más temprana (6 de junio). Se concluye que la cubierta plástica promueve un anticipo significativo de la brotación y un desarrollo superior de los brotes; cuando se combina con la poda temprana, las fechas de cosecha se registran al menos 20 días antes que el testigo, lo cual puede permitir una mejor comercialización.

En algunas poblaciones de maíz (Zea mays L.) utilizadas en los programas de mejoramiento genético de Valles Altos Centrales de México se desconocen las razas y las relaciones de parentesco, por lo que se planteó este estudio para determinar el grado de asociación de las poblaciones de maíz y agruparlas mediante técnicas de taxonomía numérica. Se evaluaron 109 poblaciones de maíz y testigos en un diseño de látice simple duplicado 11 x 11 en las localidades de Metepec, Tecamac, Montecillo y Chapingo, México, y se hizo análisis de componentes principales en los caracteres: días a floración masculina y femenina, altura de planta y de mazorca, número de plantas y de mazorcas, y diámetro y longitud de mazorca, para conocer la dispersión gráfica de las poblaciones y la clasificación o agrupación de las mismas. Se utilizó el promedio de grupo, y como medida de disimilitud el complemento del coeficiente de correlación (rc) del dendrograma correspondiente. Se encontraron siete agrupaciones a una distancia rc de 0.70, con base en la variabilidad fenotípica característica de las poblaciones. Los grupos G1, G4 y G7 fueron considerados como poblaciones nuevas, adaptadas a Valles Altos Centrales de México. Al usar como referencia a poblaciones cuya raza principal es conocida, fue posible determinar relaciones de parentesco de las poblaciones provenientes del Valle de Toluca: Acambay, Stgo. Yeche, Ixtlahuaca, Jiquipilco y Almoloya de Juárez, y de las colectas: Col-3228, Col3364, Col-3359, Col-499, Col-1288, Col-1444, Col-568, Col-1396, Col477, Col-1296 y Col-1439. También se determinaron agrupaciones y asociaciones de maíces criollos anteriormente desconocidas.

Con base en las necesidades presentes y futuras de maíz en México, el Programa de Mejoramiento Genético de Maíz del Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Forestales, Agrícolas y Pecuarias estableció una estrategia de mejoramiento poblacional de maíz en la zona subtropical de México para el mediano y largo plazo. El propósito de esta investigación fue medir la respuesta a la selección para rendimiento de grano y caracteres agronómicos correlacionados de importancia económica en dos poblaciones tropicales exóticas de maíz [Pob 345 y Pob 347], y una subtropical adaptada (PABGI-PR). Las poblaciones exóticas se mejoraron con el método de selección recurrente de líneas S2, y la subtropical con familias de hermanos completos; los criterios de selección fueron: rendimiento de grano y calidad de planta y mazorca. Los sintéticos seleccionados de cada población se evaluaron en temporal o secano (en ensayos independientes) en Ameca, Jal. México. El diseño experimental fue bloques completos al azar. En la Pob 345, el método de líneas S2 fue efectivo para incrementar el rendimiento de grano (8.3 % por ciclo) y sanidad de mazorca (8.5 % por ciclo), en reducir el número de días a floración femenina (-2.3 % por ciclo) y la altura de la mazorca (-4.8 % por ciclo), pero no fue efectivo para incrementar el rendimiento de grano en la Pob 347. En la población PABGI-PR se logró ganancia en rendimiento de grano (9.3 % por ciclo) y en sanidad de la mazorca (1.6 % por ciclo), pero en forma correlacionada se incrementó la altura de mazorca (1.4 % por ciclo). La prolificidad y la sanidad de mazorca explicaron mejor la respuesta a la selección a rendimiento de grano, en las tres poblaciones seleccionadas.
POTENCIAL OSMÓTICO DEL MEDIO DE CULTIVO CON DIFERENTES COMPONENTES PARA LA PROPAGACIÓN in vitro
Authors: Cárdenas-Lara Ma. Alicia , Villegas-Monter Ángel
Published: August 2022

Algunas especies propagadas in vitro presentan diversos desórdenes fisiológicos, como la hiperhidratación, debido entre otros factores a la alta humedad relativa en los recipientes. Por ello es importante conocer el potencial osmótico del medio de cultivo en función de la concentración de solutos. En este trabajo se evaluaron in vitro varias fuentes de carbono: sacarosa, glucosa, manitol, sorbitol y mioinositol, así como los compuestos minerales: NH4NO3, KNO3, Ca(NO3)2.4H2O, MgSO4.7H2O y KH2PO4 en tres  diferentes concentraciones cada uno. El potencial osmótico de los tratamientos se midió en un osmómetro de Presión de vapor Wescor 5100C. El potencial osmótico del medio con 90 mM de sacarosa fue -0.39 MPa. En general, en las fuentes y niveles de carbono evaluados, al aumentar la concentración el potencial osmótico fue más negativo. Para el caso de los macronutrimentos la tendencia fue similar para NH4NO3, y KNO3, pero en el resto de ellos no hubo diferencias significativas. Los resultados obtenidos muestran la importancia de conocer el efecto de los solutos en el medio de cultivo, sobre los posibles desórdenes fisiológicos de los explantes creciendo in vitro.

Published: August 2022

El crecimiento lento del pitayo (Stenocereus queretaroensis) ha sido uno de los principales factores que limita su cultivo, ya que se deben esperar hasta ocho años para obtener rendimientos lucrativos. El objetivo de este trabajo fue caracterizar el crecimiento de las ramas de pitayo y evaluar su relación con la variación estacional de la temperatura, precipitación pluvial y hongos micorrícicos, en plantas silvestres en Autlán, Jalisco (AJ), Santa Rosa, Zacatecas (SRZ) y Zacoalco de Torres, Jalisco (ZTJ), durante 1996 y 1997. El crecimiento de las ramas presentó una duración de 120 a 150 días, y mostró la forma de una curva sigmoidal simple; la fase logarítmica mostró un crecimiento lento y ocurrió al inicio del verano, seguida por una lineal que ocurrió al final del verano y al inicio del otoño, y la fase de senescencia que se presentó al principio del invierno, cuando la temperatura del aire se redujo y el crecimiento vegetativo disminuyó gradualmente. Las tasas de crecimiento por día y crecimiento total acumulado de las ramas fueron más altas en AJ, que en ZTJ y SRZ. Se concluye que el mayor crecimiento acumulado en las ramas registrado en AJ presentó una relación negativa con las temperaturas promedio mensual máxima y mínima (r = -075 y r = -0.83; P ≤ 0.05, respectivamente), y positiva con la colonización por hongos micorrícicos (r = 0.61; P ≤ 0.05).

Es posible que el hombre teotihuacano conociera el año trópico (365.2422 días) y lo corrigiera auxiliándose con los ciclos de 360, 365.25 y 480 días. Se postula que el Plano Rector de Teotihuacán se diseñó para señalar el ajuste del año trópico. Al comparar los ciclos de 360 con 365.25 días y de éste último con 365.2422, era necesario sumar 5.25 días a 360 días y restar 11.25 minutos a 365.25 días, para igualar un año trópico, y al término del cuarto año trópico sumar 21 días y restar 45 minutos. Los ciclos de 360 y 480 días son equivalentes a 1440 días (4/3). Con el ciclo de 480 días las comparaciones serían con 4/3 (365.25 días) y del anterior con 4/3 (365.2522 días), siendo imprescindible sumar 7 días a 480 días y restar 15 minutos a 4/3(365.25 días), para acumular al tercer ciclo de 480 días, 21 días y 45 minutos para suma y resta respectivamente. Al término de los 128 años trópicos, y con el uso de los ciclos de 360 y 480 días, éste se adelanta un día completo al año civil de 365.25, lo que da 366 días ( año bisiesto) y que los teotihuacanos ajustaban a 365 días. Teotihuacán pudiera señalar las características morfológicas de la raza Cónico y tal vez cómo seleccionarla, como muestran los restos arquelógicos de olotes similares encontrados en el lugar con una antigüedad de 2000 años, así como su elevada demanda en siembras del Altiplano Central. Ello sugiere que el quehacer agroastronómico fue de vital importancia en la agricultura prehispánica.

Health services through the chronic disease management program or Prolanis is a process to determine the health condition of patients with chronic diseases regularly, glucose being one of the parameters of the examination. Glucose levels are influenced by several factors, which are age and body mass index. This study aims to determine the relationship between blood glucose levels with body mass index and age in prolanis patients at Baturraden II Health Center. This type of research is a quantitative study with a cross sectional design using a total sampling technique and the GOD-PAP (Glucose Oxidase Para Amino Peroxidase) examination method on prolanis patients at Baturraden II Health Center. The research was carried out in April 2022 and obtained the results of the examination of blood glucose levels with an average of 133.30 mg/dl, the relationship between age and body mass index respectively to blood glucose levels was p value = 0.701 and p value = 0.211. So it can be concluded that there is no significant relationship between blood glucose levels with body mass index and age in prolanis patients at Baturraden II Health Center.
Marriage Horizons in Fletton 1891-1911: the Hidden Narrative behind the Parish Marriage Registers
Authors: McMullon Sadie
Published: August 2022

Traditionally the information contained within the parish marriage register has been used to consider the separation distance of bride and groom when they marry. However, this method of approaching the parish marriage register can be misleading and conceals a hidden narrative. By creating longitudinal narratives, the marriage can be viewed not as an isolated event, but as an event set within the bride and groom's broader life history. This method is time consuming if carried out on a large scale, so the ideal vehicle for this close analysis is the local study, and the parish this paper uses as a case study is Fletton, Huntingdonshire. Fletton is an ideal parish to choose for an analysis of marriage as it was an area of population growth and migration, and so attracted young unmarried migrants, both male and female. In addition, despite its growth, for the period 1891 to 1911 Fletton still had a comparatively small population so full record linkage can take place. In carrying out this approach this paper makes it clear that a quite different narrative of marriage horizons, separation distances and belonging can be told from that which would emerge from a consideration of separation distances in isolation.

The objective was to analyze learning from virtuality in the inverted classroom model that was used in the Master of Administration of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa to identify the most suitable virtual learning environments. With a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive approach, documentary analysis was developed, under the ethnographic and action-research method, participant observation, a convenience survey with a Cronbach's Alpha test questionnaire and interviews with a sample of 18 students were applied. graduate with a confidence level of 95%. The results show that in Sinaloa there is no digital capillarity and not all Master's students have connectivity to develop the flipped classroom model. After the pandemic, students consider that it is a model that enhances the development of their learning and strengthens self-management, self-regulation and self-efficacy skills in the different virtual learning environments. The digital maturity of the students offers arguments to define the virtual transformation in the postgraduate programs of the University. The hypothesis that graduates students reject the model as a product of skepticism and intolerance is discarded; but rather, due to the lack of specialized technological equipment and the lack of connectivity.
Domestic Violence and the Islamic Tradition

The polyvalent Qur’anic text lends itself to multiple interpretations, dependingupon one’s presuppositions and premises. In fact, Q. 3:7 distinguishesbetween muḥkam (explicit, categorical) and mutashābih (metaphorical, allegorical,symbolic) verses. As such, this device provides a way for reinterpretingverses that outwardly appear to be problematic – be it in the area ofgender equality, minority rights, religious freedom, or war. However, manyof the verses dealing with legal provisions in such areas as devotional matters,marriage, divorce, child custody, inheritance and bequest, and specific punishmentsappear to be unequivocal, categorical, and explicit. As such, scholarshave devised certain hermeneutical strategies to situate and contextualizethese verses in a particular socio-historical context, as well as to emphasizethat they were in conversation with the society to which the Qur’an was revealedand thereby underlining the “performative” (p.15) nature of the relationshipbetween the Qur’an and the society.No verse is more problematic, in the sense that it offends contemporarysensibilities and is quite difficult to reconcile with an egalitarian worldviewwhen dealing with gender issues, than Q. 4:34, which allows the husband todiscipline his wife if he deems her guilty of nushūz (e.g., disobedience, intransigence,sexual lewdness, aloofness, dislike or hatred of himself). AyeshaChaudhry undertakes a study of this challenging verse by engaging the corpusof literature in Arabic from the classical period to the seventeenth century; shealso includes Urdu and English sources for the post-colonial period.She starts off by relating her personal journey from a state of discomfortand puzzlement when she first came across this verse in middle school to adefensive posture in trying to convince herself by invoking the Prophet’scompassion toward his wives and in cherishing the idea that the Qur’an gavemore rights to women than either the Hebrew Bible or the New Testament.She began a more rigorous and nuanced study of this verse after equippingherself with the necessary academic tools and analytic skills during her universitystudies. Frustrated with the shallow responses and the scholars’ circumspectionas regards any creative and novel reading of the verse for fearof losing their status in the community, she decided to do so herself with thehope of discovering views that would promote an egalitarian reading.

Authors: Chak Farhan Mujahid
Published: August 2022

This article explores humanity’s ethical transformation during Europe’spost-Enlightenment era and assesses its impact upon the originsand development of secularism. Thereafter, it investigates howsecularism was introduced into the Middle East, isolating that importationas directed through western colonialism or spellboundindigenous elites. Eventually, introducing secularism into the region’ssocio-cultural milieu achieved nothing resembling what Europeor North America had experienced, particularly as regards thepurported aims of social reconciliation, industrialization, and modernization.Without the European context, secularism emerged ina radically offensive manner, one that uprooted the local axiologyand thereby leading to unprecedented levels of secular tyranny aswell as entailing the justification of socio-economic and politicaloppression.

Published: August 2022

Purpose: Skin ageing can be described as irregular pigmentation, increased wrinkling, loss of elasticity, dryness and roughness. Wrinkling of the skin is the most obvious sign of deterioration of the human body with age. Herbal cosmetics enhance the human appearance by playing a major role in impeding and reversing the ageing of the skin. Method: In this study, anti wrinkle creams were formulated with herbal oils of different concentrations namely AW1, AW2, AW3 and AW4. All cream formulations were evaluated for different parameters like pH, viscosity, spreadability, stability studies etc. The creams were found to be stable during stability studies done according to ICH guidelines. All in vitro tests results were analyzed statistically using SPSS software 17.0 version and compared with standard marketed formulations. Results: The formulated creams were consistent in quality and safe to be used on the skin. The Anti Wrinkle creams showed no evidence of phase separation and ease of removal. The creams were not shownany redness, edema, inflammation and irritation to the skin during skin irritation studies. The formulated creams were found statistical significant difference with that of standard at p<0.05. Conclusion: Formulations AW2 and AW4 showed good pH, viscosity, homogeneity, good spreadability, good extrudability with good appearance during the three months of stability studies. ©2022iGlobal Research and PublishingFoundation.

Objective:Acinetobacter baumanniiis a Gram-negative opportunistic bacteria with carbapenemase-associated antibiotic resistance accounting for a majority of nosocomial infections globally. We sought to detectcarbapenemase producers among carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii(CRAB) clinical isolates using Blue-Carba Test(BCT).Methods: This study was an observational descriptive study. At first, A. baumanniiclinical isolates (142) were collected from January 2014 to September 2017and stored at the Microbiology Laboratoryof the Faculty of Medicine, Atma Jaya Hospital. Next step involved the identification of the carbapenem-resistant isolates using WHONET 5.3 software (https://whonet.org/software.html). Here, Imipenem and Meropenem served as markers. Finally, the identified carbapenem-resistant isolates were subjected to Blue-Carba Test. Results: Among 142 A. baumannii isolates, 51.4% (73/142) were identified as CRAB. Of these, 36 isolates were revived and all were found to be carbapenemase positive. Conclusion: Conclusively, a cent percent (36/36) prevalence of carbapenemase producers was observed in the CRAB group, which is an important clinical finding for antibiotic selection against A. baumannii infection.©2022iGlobal Research and PublishingFoundation.
