Published: November 2021

Hydrops fetalis is the abnormal accumulation of fluid in two or more different fetal compartments and most times associated with polyhydramnios and placental edema, and has an estimated incidence of about 1 in 3000 pregnancies. A 27-year-old multigravida; G8P7, was referred for the first ultrasonography in the Index pregnancy on account of not feeling/observing fetal movement for about two-weeks. The obstetric ultrasonography demonstrated a single fetus with absent fetal heartbeat, in hyper-flexed position, accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity; right sub-diaphragmatic region and in the right pleural cavity in keeping with fetal ascites and fetal effusion. There is overriding of fetal skull with Thickened/edematous placenta with a thickness of about 7cm, and fetal skin thickness of about 10mm. There is associated intrafetal gas. The estimated femoral length gave a gestational age approximating 41-weeks. A diagnosis of hydrops fetalis most likely non-immune form with fetal demise presenting at 41-weeks gestational age in a multiparous woman with features anemia presumably from sepsis and urinary tract infection (bilateral pyelonephritis and cystitis) in a setting of poor antenatal care was entertained. The fetus was expelled following induction of labor at the peripheral centre, the patient had transfusion done with commencement of antibiotics for correction of anemia and sepsis with plans of further clinical and laboratory evaluation. We present the ultrasonographic features of hydrops fetalis with intrauterine fetal demise due to its unique presentation
On the Neglected Shifting balance theory, Bateson–Dobzhansky–Muller model & Quantum evolution plus the Role of Mitochondrial Membrane Potential (MMP) Impact on COVID-19
Authors: Niknamian Sorush
Published: November 2021

Background: Approximately 80% of all viruses are RNA viruses and they contain their specific RNA helicases. Defective RNA helicases have been linked to infectious diseases (Viral Infections). Materials and Methods: The articles have gone through many types of research from the beginning of the epidemic of Coronaviruses through history and we introduced the neglected hypothesis of Shifting balance theory, Bateson–Dobzhansky–Muller model & Quantum evolution. In the ancestral population, the genotype is AABB. When two populations become isolated from each other, new mutations can arise. In one population A evolves into a, and in the other B evolves into b. When the two populations hybridize it is the first time A and B interact with each other. When these alleles are incompatible, we speak of Dobzhansky–Muller incompatibilities plus the role of MMA in mitochondria in spreading SARS-CoV-19 through populations and the result of an infection in COVID-19. Results: In viruses specifically COVID-19, Ribosomal Frameshift is programmed to allows the virus to encode multiple types of proteins from the same mRNA. HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus), RSV (Rous sarcoma virus), and all types of influenza viruses use Ribosomal Frameshift. they rely on frameshifting to create a proper ratio of normal translation and trans-frame (encoded by frameshifted sequence) proteins. Notably, its use in viruses is primarily for compacting more genetic information into a shorter amount of genetic material. Conclusion: to find the genome sequence of COVID-19 we also used Nanopore sequencing that introduced and manufactured by Oxford scientists, due to differences in the action of infection in the host, we could not reach any results since the Novel Virus has not a stable genome (which is quite dynamic) since through our deep research, each virus contains its specific genome sequencing and we cannot claim that COVID-19 has one specific genome sequence like MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV or any types of viruses which has been discovered and contains their specific genome.

Authors: Galvis Alvaro E. , Batoczki Beatrice , Pecson Iris S. , Vidal Evan , Nakamura Craig T.
Published: November 2021

Background: Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) formerly known as Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by vascular dysplasia and a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. Case presentation: We report the case of an undiagnosed pediatric patient who presented hypoxemia on clinical exam as the only suggestive feature for the presence of HHT. Conclusions: Although HHT diagnosis is based on the finding of characteristic clinical features genetic testing should also be implemented when a family history of the disease is present to help confirm or refute the diagnosis.

Objective: To determine the frequency of diabetic among stroke patients and to compare the pattern of stroke in diabetic and non-diabetic stroke patients admitted at a tertiary care hospital in Hyderabad, Sindh. Methods: A cross sectional study enrolled 148 consecutive adult acute stroke patients admitted at Liaquat University Hospital, Hyderabad, during Sep 2014 to Feb 2015. Demographic, clinical, radio-imaging and laboratory data were collected on structured questionnaire to identify diabetes, type of stroke and different risk factors of stroke. Data was entered and analysed by using SPSS version 16. Association was seen by using Pearson’s Chi-square test and Independent t test. A P value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 148 acute stroke cases were enrolled in the study. Males were 92 (62%). Mean age of study participants was 51.21 ± 10.19 years. Diabetes was found in 104 (70.3%) stroke patients. Ischemic stroke was seen in 101 (68.2%) and haemorrhagic stroke seen in 47 (31.8) stroke patients. Diabetes was more common in ischemic stroke 81 (80.2) as compared to haemorrhagic stroke 23 (48.9%) (P< 0.05). Hospital mortality of stroke patients was 37 (25%). No difference of mortality in diabetic and non-diabetic (P>0.05) stroke patients was recorded. Conclusion: Diabetes was found in majority of stroke patients. Ischemic stroke was more common than haemorrhagic stroke. Ischaemic stroke is more prevalent in diabetic whereas haemorrhagic stroke was more in non-diabetic stroke patients. Prognosis of stroke was bad in both diabetic and non-diabetic stroke patients.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) was recognized in late December in Hubei province of Wuhan city in China. This highly contagious disease, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is transmitted from humans to humans. After the first case in Wuhan, the disease rapidly spread to other parts of the globe. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) made an assessment that COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic. Thus, social-distancing became an important measure to stop the spread of this disease. Various countries across the world adopted nationwide lockdowns. This led to a completely new scenario for the world, where every business in each industry faced new challenges and witnessed new opportunities. Similarly, the telehealth and telemedicine industry has also witnessed newer growth opportunities.

Cancer Diagnostic Practices Have Seen a Transformation in the Last Few Years- Explore the Scenario
Authors: Gujrathi Ashish
Published: November 2021

Identifying cancer at the early stages does offer several chances for a cure. Cancer diagnostics can be defined as a process of detecting proteins, biomarkers, and certain marks that help in proper spotting of a malignant tumor in body. For quite a few malignant cases, studies and surveys reveal that screening tests have often proved to be highly beneficial for the detection. However, for other types, screening tests are suggested only for patients with bigger risk factors. There are several guidelines and procedures for cancer screening and they tend to vary from organization to organization. A doctor or a medical practitioner take recourse to different approaches to identify cancers and they take in biopsy, imaging tests (CT scans, colonoscopy, mammography etc.), lab tests, and physical exam. Lately, researchers have also come up with a more advanced procedure, namely molecular diagnostics that can spot explicit cancer-associated molecules that flow in bodily solutions such as urine and blood.

The article presents the results of research on the development of the technology of biscuits using non-traditional plant raw materials. In the course of the work, the replacement of a part of the premium wheat flour in the dairy crust recipe with a mixture of rice (17%) and sesame (11%) and the replacement of butter with camelina butter in an amount of 5% by weight of the product was justified. It was found that the introduction of functional raw materials gives the products a moderately sweet milk taste with a pleasant nutty aftertaste and orange color. The resulting products are characterized by a balanced fatty acid composition of ω-3 and ω-6, enriched with minerals and vitamins. Calculation of the nutritional value showed that the consumption of 100 g of the developed biscuits covers the daily need of an adult for polyunsaturated fatty acids of the ω-3 and ω-6 families by 37–75% and 19,4–31,5, respectively. The protein content rises by 1,5 times, and the carbohydrate content decreases by 1,16 times. At the same time, the degree of satisfaction of the daily requirement for potassium increases – by 2,3%, in calcium – by 7–7,5%, in phosphorus – by 12,6%, in magnesium – by 16,3%, in iron – by 7,3–13,3%. The degree of satisfaction of the daily requirement for vitamins B1 also increases – by 19,7–20,9%, B2 – by 2,2–2,3%, PP – by 8,1–9,3%, E – by 1,6–1,7% compared to the control sample of dairy cakes. The developed products can be recommended for preventive nutrition, people adhering to a healthy lifestyle, as well as school-age children, pregnant and lactating women who have a deficiency of ω-3 and ω-6 fatty acids in the diet

Published: November 2021

This research is motivated by curiosity about why Patani people choose to study in Indonesia, while Malaysia is a neighboring country of Patani which is geographically relatively close and also classified as advanced education. The object of research is the past and continues until now, so this study uses the total history method. To get research data, it is mostly used with the documentation method. The documentation method is complemented by the interview method. For Patani students and alumni who can still be found, the data collection techniques used are interviews and observations and are equipped with documentation methods. The results of the study show that the History of Islamic Studies of Patani students in Indonesia from 1963-2019 can be divided into three. First, in 1963-1991, where they studied only on the island of Java and were limited to the cities of Jakarta, Bandung, and Yogyakarta. Second, in 1992-2013, they expanded the study area to Medan and Banda Aceh. Third, in 2014-2019, they studied spread throughout Indonesia. In the first stage, it can be said that they chose the place to study because of the quality factor. In the second stage due to geographical proximity. While the third is because of the available scholarships.
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF FETAL ADRENAL GLAND BIOMETRY AND CERVICAL LENGTH AS A PREDICTOR OF PRETERM BIRTH
Authors: Jain Toshi , Agrawal Megha , Sharma Anju
Published: November 2021

Background: Preterm birth is an important challenge in obstetrics and contemporary perinatology in India. Timely recognition, intervention and appropriate management is integral in curbing the upsurge in its incidence and consequent poor perinatal outcome. This study was conducted taking into account the potential mechanism of preterm labor: premature activation of the placental-adrenal endocrine axis wherein elevation of maternal cortisol leads to an increased production of placental corticotrophin releasing hormone which causes an increase in dehydroepiandrosterone produced by the fetal zone of the adrenal gland and its enlargement. This activates a cascade leading to early loss of uterine quiescence, consequently causing cervical modelling, ripening and preterm birth.

Aim and Objectives: To assess fetal adrenal gland volume, fetal zone enlargement and cervical length on ultrasound and compare their  efficacy in the prediction of preterm birth. 

Methods: This was a hospital based prospective study in which pregnant women with an uncomplicated live singleton pregnancy between 28 to 34 weeks of gestation were subjected to obstetric ultrasonography wherein fetal adrenal gland volume, fetal zone enlargement and cervical length was measured. They were then followed up until their delivery, whether term or preterm and its correlation with fetal adrenal gland parameters and cervical length was assessed.  

Result: Corrected fetal adrenal gland volume showed the highest sensitivity of 90.0% and a specificity of 96.7% with a cut off value of 632.50 mm3/kg while fetal zone enlargement showed a sensitivity and specificity of 72.7% and 60.9% respectively. Cervical length was found to be the least important marker for predicting the preterm birth as having the least AUC as 0.209, sensitivity as 36.4 % and specificity as 76.1%.

Conclusion: This study concludes that fetal adrenal gland biometry can be used as a noninvasive, cost effective and potential new marker for the prediction of preterm birth and is a better predictor than cervical length.

Keywords: Preterm, Cervical length, Adrenal biometry.

Authors: Hendrawaty Nurmala , Retnomurti Ayu Bandu
Published: November 2021

The aim of this study is to discover diverse vocabulary learning strategies among undergraduate students in three different competence levels (basic, intermediate, and advanced) who are enrolled in the Vocabulary course at Universitas Indraprasta PGRI in semester III. In this study, determination, social, memory, cognitive, and metacognitive methods were used to learn the language. Schmitt's Vocabulary Learning Strategies Questionnaire was used to collect data (VLSQ). Thirty undergraduate students were chosen on the basis of their competence levels. The results of descriptive statistics revealed that most undergraduate students used a medium strategy. The basic level had a mean score of 2.91, the intermediate level of 3.10, and the advanced level of 3.44. It was evident that the more vocabulary acquisition strategies a student used, the greater his or her competency level became. When it came to the most and least frequently utilized strategies by undergraduate students, metacognitive and determination were the most commonly employed techniques across three levels. However, the least frequent strategies of each level were different. Cognitive was slightly used by basic undergraduate students. Memory was the least employed by intermediate undergraduate students, and social was the fewest strategies implemented by advanced undergraduate students. This study revealed that the development of vocabulary learning strategies could increase EFL undergraduate students’ proficiency levels significantly.

Supervised Learning for Binary Classification on US Adult Income
Authors: Chen Li-Pang
Published: November 2021

In this project, various binary classification methods have been used to make predictions about US adult income level in relation to social factors including age, gender, education, and marital status. We first explore descriptive statistics for the dataset and deal with missing values. After that, we examine some widely used classification methods, including logistic regression, discriminant analysis, support vector machine, random forest, and boosting. Meanwhile, we also provide suitable R functions to demonstrate applications. Various metrics such as ROC curves, accuracy, recall and F-measure are calculated to compare the performance of these models. We find the boosting is the best method in our data analysis due to its highest AUC value and the highest prediction accuracy. In addition, among all predictor variables, we also find three variables that have the largest impact on the US adult income level.
A controvérsia de um debate público: as salas de uso de drogas na França
Authors: Mendonça Natália Heringer , Bento Nárgila Mara da Silva , Almeida Dulce Maria Filgueira de
Published: November 2021

O presente estudo originou-se do esforço em compreender o contexto social da implantação de Salas de Consumo a Risco Reduzido para usuários de drogas injetáveis tomando por base o caso da França, que autorizou a abertura destes estabelecimentos em 2016. Tendo em conta que o uso de psicoativos foi longamente combatido por meio de uma política proibicionista que vigorou a partir de 1970 no país, surge a seguinte questão norteadora: quais foram os aspectos sociais que levaram à adoção de um outro modelo, até então moralmente muito contestado por sua sociedade, que aceita o uso moderado e em ambientes apropriados daquelas substâncias? O artigo tem por objetivo analisar a constituição discursiva interposta acerca das Salas de Consumo no debate público francês. Realizamos uma pesquisa de natureza teórica empregando uma metodologia qualitativa, a qual tratou-se de uma revisão bibliográfica não-exaustiva, feita em 2019, incluindo artigos científicos e teses. A principal base de consulta foi constituída pela Biblioteca Nacional e Universitária de Estrasburgo. Os resultados apontam que, segundo o material analisado, a genealogia acerca do uso de substâncias psicoativas está relacionada à estigmatização dos usuários. O aspecto social que conduziu a passagem do proibicionismo à adoção do modelo de moderação no uso de psicoativos ocorreu através de um campo de controvérsias que inseriu, paulatinamente, o tema da redução de danos no debate público francês. Além disso, até o momento da pesquisa, havia uma escassa produção científica sobre a temática, a despeito de sua importância para o debate público. Conclui-se que a superação das controvérsias acerca do assunto pode contribuir para a (des)estigmatização de usuários de substâncias psicoativas, redefinindo seu papel social e status nos processos de interação em sociedade.
O dever do cirurgião-dentista na prevenção da hiperplasia fibrosa inflamatória – patogenia e tratamentos
Authors: Souza Diogo Henrique Vaz de , Lopes Henrique do Carmo , Toniollo Marcelo Bighetti
Published: November 2021

O aumento do volume tecidual em tecido mucoso periodontal de proteção, chamado hiperplasia fibrosa inflamatória (HFI), acontece por meio de estímulos mecânicos crônicos de baixa intensidade. Principalmente quando relacionadas ao uso inadequada das próteses dentárias. As pesquisas revelam que a alta prevalência da hiperplasia fibrosa inflamatória na população é um grande problema, pois não são todas as pessoas que fazem uso das próteses totais e parciais removíveis, que são adeptas aos hábitos de higiene adequados, e ainda possuem o conhecimento que o uso incorreto destas próteses, podem gerar lesões com potencial oncogênico, dependendo da amplitude de acometimento da lesão. Diante essas informações procuramos responder a seguinte questão norteadora: O estabelecimento de uma adequada higiene oral, e a formação de bons cuidados higiênicos com as próteses podem diminuir a prevalência da hiperplasia fibrosa inflamatória? A presente revisão de literatura, abrangeu a revisão de 7 artigos científicos publicados do Google Scholar e Scielo, datadas as publicações entre os anos 2003 e 2020 e revisados no mês de novembro do ano 2020. Relatando as características da hiperplasia fibrosa inflamatória no que tange a respeito das características clínicas e histológicas, classificação, prevalência, relação da hiperplasia fibrosa inflamatória com a oncogênese, além das formas de tratamento da hiperplasia fibrosa inflamatória. Concluímos que caso estes hábitos relacionados aos cuidados protéticos adequados e condutas higiênicas intensivas, sejam bem executadas pelo paciente, será evitada a formação dessa lesão displásica no epitélio oral, que possui sua formação estimulada por pequenos traumas crônicos, e pela ação bacteriológica acumulada ao longo do tempo.

Authors: REYHANDALI Seyran , CİNNİOĞLU Hasan
Published: November 2021

Restoran işletmeleri çalışanlarına yönelik gerçekleştirilen bu araştırmanın temel amacı; Hatay ilinde faaliyet gösteren restoran işletmelerinde çalışanların Covid-19 korkusu ile tükenmişlik düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir. Buna bağlı olarak çalışanlarda Covid-19 korkusunun tükenmişliğin alt boyutları olan duygusal tükenme, duyarsızlaşma ve düşük kişisel başarının çalışanlar üzerindeki etkilerini belirlemek bu çalışmanın alt amaçları arasında yer almaktadır. Covid-19 salgınını inceleyen birçok çalışma olmasına rağmen, restoran işletmeleri ve çalışanlarının tükenmişlik düzeylerini inceleyen fazla çalışmaya rastlanılmamış olması nedeniyle bu araştırma önem arz edebilmektedir. Araştırmanın evrenini Hatay ilinde faaliyet gösteren restoran işletmeleri çalışanları oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın yapılması için seçilen bölgenin turizm potansiyeline sahip, gelişmekte olan bir bölge olması ve bununla beraber restoran işletmelerinin artış göstermesi nedeniyle Hatay ili tercih edilmiştir. Bu amacı gerçekleştirmek için Hatay ilinde faaliyet gösteren restoran işletmeleri çalışanlarından anket yöntemi ile veriler elde edilmiştir. Restoran çalışan sayısının net olarak bilinmemesi nedeniyle sınırsız evren kabul edildiğinden örneklem olarak 384 kişi yeterli sayı olarak kabul edilmiştir. Söz konusu işletmelerin içerisinde bulunduğumuz pandemi nedeniyle anketin yapıldığı dönemde birçok restoran işletmesi kapalı olduğundan toplamda 274 anket yapılabilmiştir.

Agrobiodiversity and Natural Resource Management in Traditional Agricultural Systems of Northeast India

Published: November 2021

North-East India, which falls under the Indian Eastern Himalayan region and forms part of two global biodiversity hotspots, is well-known for its rich diversity of flora, fauna, cultures and traditional knowledge systems. Agriculture is the main occupation of the communities living in this region supplemented by utilization of wild useful species from the nearby forests. Traditional agriculture in North-East India follows mixed cropping pattern through multi-cropping, crop rotation, use of multipurpose nitrogen (N)-fixing trees, along with protection of semi-domesticated and wild biodiversity, including medicinal plants, wild edible fruits and vegetables, fodder plants and other useful species. Presently, there has been a gradual shifting from subsistence cultivation to commercial agriculture driven by market forces and modernization, leading to transition from traditional to intensive agriculture and monoculture of cash crops. This has resulted in reduced cultivation of local crop varieties and disappearance of the associated traditional ecological knowledge (TEK). Therefore, the present study attempts to review the contribution of traditional agricultural practices to agrobiodiversity conservation and sustainable natural resource management. Relevant traditional practices such as shifting (Jhum) cultivation systems, bamboo-drip irrigation, paddy-cum-fish cultivation, traditional agroforestry systems of different Indigenous communities residing in different states of North-East India were mentioned in this review. It is undeniable that TEK was developed by communities through many centuries by trial-and-error methods to conform to the local climate, topography, ecology and socio-cultural relevance to the concerned Indigenous communities. This knowledge, therefore, has a great scope for improvement by integration with scientific knowledge for transforming into sustainable agricultural systems in the face of climate change adaptation and mitigation of the vulnerable mountain communities of the Himalayan region.

Agrobiodiversity is the most important part of biodiversity. It can be described, quantified, compared, and related by using different statistical tools called agrobiodiversity statistics (agro-statistics). Six components and 25 groups of agrobiodiversity should be used for agrobiodiversity analysis. Six types and levels of agrobiodiversity can be quantified. Both quantitative and qualitative data are used for estimating scores and indices. The measurement objects for describing agrobiodiversity are community, household, site, crop group, species, landrace, etc. These objects are called operational agricultural units (OAU). Agromorphological, molecular, and perception data are used in agrobiodiversity studies. Among the many software, RStudio is very good. It is an integrated part of R and includes a console, syntax-highlighting editor, tools for plotting, history, debugging, and workspace management. Vegan and BiodiversityR packages are commonly used for estimating diversity indices and multivariate analysis. Richness, Shannon index and Simpson index are very common means of quantifying agrobiodiversity. Spatial and temporal analysis of agrobiodiversity helps monitor the status and plan the programs and activities.

A concern for the growth and utilization of sheep is raised since ancient times in Romania. The development of livestock sector is determined by the climate and the geographical configuration with the availability of grasslands maintained by transhumants. The pastoralism founded a domestic processing of milk, wool and leather products with positive socio-economic implications on material and spiritual life of local people. The sheep breeds prevailed until the 20th century were ‘Tucana’ and ‘Stogose’ and, to a lesser extent, ‘Tisigai’. These breeds, generally unimproved, have a profound fitness and resistance to harsh weather conditions. These breeds were also fit for traveling long routes in search of food. The utilization of a sheep breed is determined by the national economic demand, productivity potential of the breed, available, technology, improvement and utilization methods of the breed. The said sheep breeds were appreciated because they produce a diversity of products having superior nutritional or economic values. It is known especially for its white wool, which is used in domestic industry for making clothes and other products including artifacts, textiles, Persian carpets, etc. Considering the local natural conditions and the national economic demands, the sheep husbandry was assisted continuously to support intensive and multilateral development producing the necessary raw materials for the textile, fur, leather and food industry. Both research and the technical developments have contributed to the zootechnical field geared to resolve the problems appeared in the development of sheep. The scientific knowledge and expertise need to be combined with application skills leading to the development and modernization of complex technologies helping growth of sheep products.
