Organic agriculture has gained significant attention as a potential solution to India's food security challenges. This study aims to provide a comprehensive review of the existing literature on organic farming in India and to identify avenues for future research. This study aimed to examine the connection between organic farming practices and increased crop yields and agricultural output and assess the potential impact of organic agriculture on food security in India. The methodology involved a thorough review of relevant literature. The results of this study showed that organic agriculture has the potential to improve food security in India. However, further research is needed to understand this impact fully. The conclusions highlight the importance of long-term evaluations of the viability and scalability of organic farming as a solution to food security in India, as well as research on the economic and social variables impacting the acceptance and effectiveness of organic agricultural practices. This study also emphasizes the need for further studies comparing the outcomes of organic and conventional farming practices. The contribution of this study to the field is that it provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of organic farming in India and identifies areas for future research. The research limitations and implications and the practical and social implications of organic agriculture are also discussed. The limitation of this review is that the availability of data and information on the topic of organic agriculture in India might be limited, which can impact the comprehensiveness of the review and the ability to synthesize the existing literature fully

After the issue of practical Human insemination and its application to humans was resolved, remarks and worries surfaced that didn't seem appropriate given the significance or frequency of the process. Endoscopic artificial insemination is a sophisticated reproductive method that was first used on small ruminants, in which semen is injected into the uterus using a specialized device. By using endoscopic artificial insemination techniques in place of natural mating methods and Trans cervical artificial insemination techniques for locally produced progeny, this research seeks to boost the mass population of Indonesian indigenous. The conditions of artificial insemination have completely changed as a result of the development of semen storage, particularly with regard to application flexibility and safety. Even if fresh semen is still used, it is now evident that semen preservation will play a significant role in artificial insemination going forward. Increasing the gamete density at the fertilization location is there asoning behind artificial insemination. Alot of procedures might cause a miss formed pregnancy, which could damage the physical entity of the pregnancy from the moment it formed—in the womb or in a test tube—until it was delivered, so one of a pregnancy's rights is tube preserved and protected until the baby is born, and that conception can happen even in the absence of natural spouse contact using techniques like artificial insemination which will accelerate the rate of genetic improvement. & to conceive a woman using a method other than sexual contact by Artificial Insemination.
APRESENTAÇÃO DOSSIÊ: INTERSECCIONALIDADE E EDUCAÇÃO: OLHARES TEÓRICOS E PRÁTICOS
Authors: Santos Odair José Silva , Antonio Leonardo Siqueira
Published: January 2024

Este dossiê acolhe artigos de pesquisas que refletem sobre os marcadores sociais da diferença, notadamente referenciados como interseccionais - gênero, raça e classe - no contexto escolar. Essa abordagem torna-se emergente dada a complexidade do tema diante dos debates contemporâneos, que exigem um aprofundamento teórico, metodológico e prático sobre os diferentes contextos de discriminação historicamente postos em diversos ambientes e processos de educação. Assim, as discussões dispostas nos oito artigos desta edição exploram um universo multifacetado que e se constroem interdisciplinarmente.

Tomando como base as relações entre leitura, escrita e interseccionalidade, há o artigo que apresenta o Literalidade, projeto desenvolvido a fim de promover o debate sobre as relações sociais contemporâneas, no qual o interseccional ganha espaço. Paralelamente, outro texto problematiza arte, educação e decolonialidade na escola, refletindo as perspectivas de mulheres negras arte-educadoras.

No campo das ciências sociais, temos dois textos: a discussão sobre a educação antirracista e antissexista e o debate sobre a cisnormatividade e as propostas sobre gênero e educação.

Com a abordagem no campo pedagógico, apresentam-se três textos. O primeiro traz relações étnico-raciais e orientações legais para o trabalho pedagógico, com um olhar a partir de documentos de uma escola. O segundo discorre sobre o ambiente escolar e o enfrentamento às violências contra as mulheres, a partir do contexto do Distrito Federal. O terceiro descreve as tensões e resistências da presença de professores homens em classes de educação infantil.

No campo teórico-prático, destacamos o texto que traz o esboço de uma sequência didática, problematizando o espaço ocupado pela mulher na sociedade com base no gênero textual artigo de opinião.

Nessa perspectiva, convidamos os leitores a realizar um passeio pelas discussões propostas nesta edição a fim aclararem ideias e participarem do debate sobre as questões nas interfaces entre interseccionalidade e educação.
O SERTÃO E O SERTANEJO COMO ASPECTOS HISTÓRICOS E POLÍTICOS EM O PAÍS DE SÃO SARUÊ
Authors: Tavares Paulo Afonso
Published: January 2024

O País de São Saruê, documentário da década de 70 dirigido por Vladimir Carvalho, é uma exploração incisiva da realidade social do sertão, enfatizando as lutas e desafios do sertanejo. Este estudo tem como objetivo decifrar a representação do sertão e do sertanejo no contexto histórico e político brasileiro apresentado no filme. Adotou-se uma metodologia que envolveu a análise da ficha técnica do filme, sua estrutura narrativa, teses propostas, palavras-chave pertinentes às teses, cenas e frases significativas e uma análise crítica correlacionando o filme à realidade social. As influências literárias, especialmente de Os Sertões de Euclides da Cunha, são palpáveis, assim como as reflexões sobre o período da Ditadura Militar. O documentário evidencia conflitos tais como: adversidades climáticas,desigualdades socioeconômicas e a resistência histórica do sertanejo. Em suma, O País de São Saruê não só documenta as adversidades do sertão, mas também posiciona o sertanejo como um pilar na história e política do Brasil, ressaltando sua persistente resistência e luta.
A NECROPOLÍTICA NA HISTÓRIA DO NEGRO NO BRASIL
Authors: Junior Manuel Alves de Sousa , Lopes Henrique Arthur
Published: January 2024

A necropolítica é um conceito cunhado pelo filósofo camaronês Achille Mbembe a partir de um deslocamento da biopolítica foucaultiana para o genocídio colonial. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar de que forma a necropolítica atravessa e entrelaça as relações escravagistas, o povo negro no período pós abolição e a eugenia no Brasil nas primeiras décadas do século XX. A metodologia foi descritiva e exploratória com levantamento bibliográfico e fontes históricas, com as lentes teóricas da biopolítica e necropolítica. O entendimento e a inserção de conceitos como biopolítica e necropolítica são peça chave para compreendermos a transição ocorrida na sociedade com o pós-abolição e os impactos do movimento eugenista e suas reverberações na sociedade. A pesquisa neste campo analítico tem sido alvo de disputa política nos últimos anos no Brasil, já que o contexto histórico estudado é historicamente recente e sua repercussão na nossa sociedade, a partir de elementos como racismo, preconceito e desigualdade, ainda estão presentes e favorecem determinadas camadas da população.
POLITICAS AFIRMATIVAS NA UNIVERSIDADE
Authors: Carvalho Natália Hernandes , Rodrigues Edgar Bendahan , Barbosa Renata Trasse de Oliveira
Published: January 2024

O presente trabalho consiste em um relato de experiência de um estudante pertencente ao programa de permanência de uma universidade pública do estado de São Paulo que passou por acompanhamento psicoterápico, devido a queixa de sofrimento psíquico por baixo desempenho acadêmico, a fim de refletir sobre a correlação entre os auxílios estudantis e a inclusão dos estudantes da permanência se, de fato, os auxilios são suficientes para promoverem o desenvolvimento acadêmico do discente. Como instrumento na construção de dados utilizou-se de relato autobiográfico. Os dados foram analisados tomando-se por referência a psicologia analítica de Carl G. Jung e pressupostos da clínica social. Foi possível concluir que o acompanhamento psicoterápico ao promover apoio, conscientização crítica e acolhedora sobre as condições de vida dos estudantes, contribuiu com o processo de desenvolvimento do discente, diminuição de sintomas, maior confiança para enfrentar as dificuldades acadêmicas, promover sua inclusão na universidade e concluir sua formação profissional. No entanto, não extingue a necessidade de programas de auxílio pedagógico para auxiliar nas dificuldades de ensino dos estudantes e de infraestrutura na instituição para oferecer atividades sociais (artísticas e culturais) em prol da equidade e do desenvolvimento das potencialidades e singularidades do estudante.

Authors: Assani Saffana , Afiyat Nur , Hermanto Hermanto , Maulana Dhimas Abdu , Santoso Fandi Ahmad , Zaimuddin Ahmad
Published: January 2024

Founded in 1990, Robithotul Ashfiya Islamic Boarding School has had students spread across the archipelago. However, the communication media between alumni and students are still limited to social media such as FB and What’sapp group. This makes information often not well-conveyed and well-documented. Since the place is located quite far from the city center, this Islamic boarding school is not well-known by the public, so it requires qualified promotional media. With the establishment of cooperation between the Islamic boarding schools and Universitas Qomaruddin, a solution is found to the existing problems, namely the realization of a boarding school website. The system development methodology used is SDLC (System Development Life Cycle). Feasibility studies and investigations are carried out directly to the site. Requirement analysis includes functional and non-functional requirements of the system. System design uses UML (Unified Modeling Language) and level diagrams. Application is in the form of system development using the CMS (Content Management System) wordpress and system implementation. Regular review and maintenance are with a direct mentoring system in the form of system management training and monitoring system use. The result of the community service is a finished product of a boarding school website and website management training for the boarding school system administrators. With the existence of the website, now the Robithotul Ashfiya Islamic boarding school can make promotions to the community more easily and provide better information to its students and alumni.
Frugal Innovations: Implementation in Regions of Poland
Authors:   Military University of Technology, Warsaw, Poland, Faculty of Security, Logistics and Management, Woźniak Jacek
Published: January 2024

Purpose: The objective of the study is to assess the complexity of applying the attributes of frugal innovations in innovative enterprises located in three regions of Poland (i.e. A, B and C), as well as to compare the three regions. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study included 200 large innovative enterprises. The study listed the following number of enterprises belonging to individual regions: A – 154 entities, B – 39 entities, as well as C – 7 entities. Six hypotheses have been stated in the study. The empirical study considered quantitative methods and research techniques, i.e. the Computer Assisted Web Interview (CAWI) survey technique, and statistical analysis of quantitative data. The basic research tools were: the CAWI survey questionnaire, PS IMAGO PRO 7.0 software and Microsoft Excel. Findings: The study indicated that: (1) in the A and B regions – both in the area of shaping relationships with customers and shaping innovative processes –moderately high values of Indicator of the Complexity of Shaping Relationships with Customers (ICSRC) and Indicator of the Complexity of Shaping Innovative Processes (ICSIP) indicators were recorded, as well as in the C region, the values are moderately low for both indicators, (2) in the A region, there is a higher level of the complexity of applying the attributes of the concept of frugal innovations with respect to shaping relationships with customers and shaping innovative processes than in the B and C regions. Implications/limitations: In Poland, there are rather favorable conditions for the implementation of the attributes of the concept of frugal innovations – this is indicated by relatively small differences between the A and B regions. Therefore, in theoretically less developed voivodeships from the so-called Polish B region, frugal innovations are implemented. The research conducted indicates that greater emphasis should be placed on spreading knowledge about frugal innovations in the C Region, which can draw on the experience and support of the A region. Originality/value: The study raises a new issue in domestic science, concerning the implementation of the attributes of the concept of frugal innovations in various regions of Poland, i.e. the A, B and C regions.

Spectatorship, Dead Bodies, and Medical Discourses in Celestina
Authors: Sánchez y Sánchez Samuel
Published: January 2024

This article examines the intersection of spectatorship, literary imagination, and medical discourse as they converge in Celestina.  The representation of dead bodies in this text projects Rojas’ work into early modernity as a literary forerunner of the anatomical discourse that scrutinizes the interior of the body and which would not emerge in the Iberian Peninsula until the 1540s. Drawing on Visual Studies, Body Studies, and Literary Studies, the present essay interrogates the notion of the gaze and the representation of cadavers in Celestina as a transgressive narrative that in 1499 tests the boundaries between real and metaphorical anatomies. From this perspective, Rojas’ literary imagination vis à vis the shift from a medieval to a pre-modern medical gaze inform a post-medieval understanding of the concept of the dead body at the dawn of modernity in Iberia.
Nuevos datos biográficos de Sancho de Muñón, autor de la Tragicomedia de Lisandro y Roselia (1542): de la ortodoxia teológica a la herejía de un clérigo alumbrado del siglo XVI
Authors: Cáseda Teresa Jesús Fernando
Published: January 2024

En este estudio se aportan diversas noticias hasta ahora desconocidas de la biografía de Sancho de Muñón, continuador de La Celestina. Aludo a sus orígenes familiares, a sus estudios en Salamanca, ciudad en la que fue racionero y catedrático de su Universidad, a su canonjía en Plasencia, donde vivió durante la etapa final de su vida protegido por su obispo Gutierre de Carvajal y en cuya catedral mantuvo diversos enfrentamientos con varios compañeros del cabildo. Persona de vida licenciosa, fue acusado de alumbrado en un proceso inquisitorial que he descubierto y asimismo por varias "beatas" de proposiciones deshonestas. Falleció en 1571, sustituyéndole en su puesto de canónigo, aunque por poco tiempo, un sobrino.
Alcahuetas, ventaneras y majas de paseo: imágenes de celestinas en la pintura de género española (1868-1931)
Authors: Juberías Gracia Guillermo
Published: January 2024

Los asuntos extraídos de la literatura nacional fueron muy frecuentes en la pintura de género española de finales del siglo XIX y comienzos del siglo XX. A través del presente artículo estudiamos la presencia de celestinas en la plástica de este periodo, comprobando cómo el personaje originalmente extraído de la obra de Rojas fue evolucionando hasta convertirse en un epónimo visual de la alcahuetería. Para ello, examinamos tres tipos de representaciones femeninas: las alcahuetas, las ventaneras y las majas de paseo, dando a conocer algunos ejemplos hasta ahora inéditos o poco divulgados. Así, analizamos estos tipos en las obras de artistas de tendencias estéticas muy diversas, desde el tardorromanticismo de Eugenio Lucas Villaamil, hasta el esperpento de José Gutiérrez Solana, constatando el peso que el casticismo tuvo a la hora de escenificar estas imágenes de cortejo y prostitución.
La Celestina y el cómic: adaptación entre descentramiento y anexión de una heroína en movimiento
Authors: Faye Thomas
Published: January 2024

El propósito de este artículo consiste en aplicar herramientas y conceptos inicialmente previstos para el estudio de la traducción a dos adaptaciones de La Celestina al cómic (la primera de Víctor Palmerín y la segunda de Rémy Bastien). Si bien ambas adaptaciones son, en apariencia, muy distintas la una de la otra, y bien distantes del original, este trabajo pretende demostrar que los procesos de adaptación, legibles superficialmente como manifestaciones de una práctica de la anexión, esconden en realidad un trabajo en las profundidades del texto original. Reflexionando sobre la cuestión del movimiento, nuestro estudio desea demostrar que el análisis de la adaptación —a modo de traducción— invita al descentramiento del lector al poner de realce las estructuras profundas de la poética del texto original y transmiten una versión esencialista del texto de Rojas, su sentido profundo que adviene gracias a los procesos de rescritura.

Como seguir a Jesus: análise exegética de Marcos 8,34 – 9,1
Authors: Pereira Sandro
Published: January 2024

O convite ao discipulado é um elemento fundamental na caminhada cristã. A perícope analisada se dá no contexto do caminho de Jerusalém; já a caminho da cruz. Trata-se de um relato de vocação, que se constituem por narrativas breves, com uma finalidade paradigmática, neste caso, apresentar o modelo de comportamento a ser seguido. O texto quer pintar o quadro de uma cosmovisão que objetiva exortar aos leitores a assumir um comportamento bem definido. Seguir a Jesus significava uma negação radical de si mesmo. O discípulo deve “carregar a sua cruz”. E isso implica ter plena comunhão com o próprio destino de Jesus: perseguição, sofrimento e morte. Aqueles que suportam os sofrimentos vinculados ao seguimento de Jesus, são objetos de promessas da parte do Mestre. Em Marcos, a expressão tomar (= portar) a própria cruz é uma representação metafórica da disposição ao martírio e do espírito de abnegação que devem distinguir os seguidores de Cristo. Jesus chama de forma imperativa a multidão e aos seus discípulos. Aqueles que “querem” seguir a Jesus devem cumprir duas condições: negar-se a si mesmo, e tomar a sua cruz. Implica na aceitação da disposição de morrer por causa do seguimento, e se refere a todas as perseguições e tribulações que os discípulos podem experimentar durante o projeto do discipulado.
Contra-imperialismo apocalíptico
Authors: Gonzaga Waldecir , Sant’ Anna Filipe Galhardo
Published: January 2024

Desde os seus primeiros intérpretes, o texto de Apocalipse tem sido alvo de inúmeras controvérsias, muitas delas surgidas por uma má compreensão dos seus aspectos linguísticos, de sua estrutura literária e da composição retórica do livro. É precisamente o que ocorre com um dos textos mais emblemáticos deste corpus, o extrato narrativo em Ap 21,1-8. A estrutura deste texto, como a pesquisa demonstrará, emerge de sobreposições e paralelismos concêntricos, que colocam em relevo o poder imperialista e a Nova Criação da imagética tipicamente apocalíptica de Ap 21,1-8. Durante muito tempo a metodologia usual para a interpretação das estruturas do Apocalipse foram os manuais de retórica greco-romanos, que logo se demonstraram insuficientes para a análise de textos tão caracteristicamente judaicos como o Apocalipse de João. A falta de um método próprio para análise de textos do mundo semítico, que pudesse dar conta de estruturas retóricas como as do Apocalipse, certamente dificultou ainda mais os pesquisadores. Com o objetivo de fornecer um subsídio teórico para a análise literária e retórica do texto de Ap 21,1-8, então, a presente pesquisa irá fazer uso do método de Análise Retórica Bíblica Semítica, perscrutando fatores semânticos, redacionais e composicionais de Ap 21,1-8.
14-3-3 protein augments the protein stability of phosphorylated spastin and promotes the recovery of spinal cord injury through its agonist intervention
Authors: Liu Qiuling , Yang Hua , Luo Jianxian , Peng Cheng , Wang Ke , Zhang Guowei , Lin Hongsheng , Ji Zhisheng
Published: January 2024

Axon regeneration is abortive in the central nervous system following injury. Orchestrating microtubule dynamics has emerged as a promising approach to improve axonal regeneration. The microtubule severing enzyme spastin is essential for axonal development and regeneration through remodeling of microtubule arrangement. To date, however, little is known regarding the mechanisms underlying spastin action in neural regeneration after spinal cord injury. Here, we use glutathione transferase pulldown and immunoprecipitation assays to demonstrate that 14-3-3 interacts with spastin, both in vivo and in vitro, via spastin Ser233 phosphorylation. Moreover, we show that 14-3-3 protects spastin from degradation by inhibiting the ubiquitination pathway and upregulates the spastin-dependent severing ability. Furthermore, the 14-3-3 agonist Fusicoccin (FC-A) promotes neurite outgrowth and regeneration in vitro which needs spastin activation. Western blot and immunofluorescence results revealed that 14-3-3 protein is upregulated in the neuronal compartment after spinal cord injury in vivo. In addition, administration of FC-A not only promotes locomotor recovery, but also nerve regeneration following spinal cord injury in both contusion and lateral hemisection models; however, the application of spastin inhibitor spastazoline successfully reverses these phenomena. Taken together, these results indicate that 14-3-3 is a molecular switch that regulates spastin protein levels, and the small molecule 14-3-3 agonist FC-A effectively mediates the recovery of spinal cord injury in mice which requires spastin participation.

Animal internal state is modulated by nutrient intake, resulting in behavioral responses to changing food conditions. The neural mechanisms by which internal states are generated and maintained are not well understood. Here, we show that in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, distinct cues from bacterial food – interoceptive signals from the ingestion of bacteria and gustatory molecules sensed from nearby bacteria – act antagonistically on the expression of the neuroendocrine TGF-beta ligand DAF-7 from the ASJ pair of sensory neurons to modulate foraging behavior. A positive-feedback loop dependent on the expression of daf-7 from the ASJ neurons acts to promote transitions between roaming and dwelling foraging states and influence the persistence of roaming states. SCD-2, the C. elegans ortholog of mammalian anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), which has been implicated in the central control of metabolism of mammals, functions in the AIA interneurons to regulate foraging behavior and cell-non-autonomously control the expression of DAF-7 from the ASJ neurons. Our data establish how a dynamic neuroendocrine daf-7 expression feedback loop regulated by SCD-2 functions to couple sensing and ingestion of bacterial food to foraging behavior. We further suggest that this neuroendocrine feedback loop underlies previously characterized exploratory behaviors in C. elegans. Our data suggest that the expression of daf-7 from the ASJ neurons contributes to and is correlated with an internal state of ‘unmet need’ that regulates exploratory foraging behavior in response to bacterial cues in diverse physiological contexts.

Current models of scene processing in the human brain include three scene-selective areas: the parahippocampal place area (or the temporal place areas), the restrosplenial cortex (or the medial place area), and the transverse occipital sulcus (or the occipital place area). Here, we challenged this model by showing that at least one other scene-selective site can also be detected within the human posterior intraparietal gyrus. Despite the smaller size of this site compared to the other scene-selective areas, the posterior intraparietal gyrus scene-selective (PIGS) site was detected consistently in a large pool of subjects (n = 59; 33 females). The reproducibility of this finding was tested based on multiple criteria, including comparing the results across sessions, utilizing different scanners (3T and 7T) and stimulus sets. Furthermore, we found that this site (but not the other three scene-selective areas) is significantly sensitive to ego-motion in scenes, thus distinguishing the role of PIGS in scene perception relative to other scene-selective areas. These results highlight the importance of including finer scale scene-selective sites in models of scene processing – a crucial step toward a more comprehensive understanding of how scenes are encoded under dynamic conditions.

Current models of scene processing in human brain include three scene-selective areas: the Parahippocampal Place Area (or the temporal place areas; PPA/TPA), the restrosplenial cortex (or the medial place area; RSC/MPA) and the transverse occipital sulcus (or the occipital place area; TOS/OPA). Here, we challenged this simplistic model by showing that another scene-selective site can also be detected within the posterior intraparietal gyrus. Despite the smaller size of this site compared to the other scene-selective areas, the posterior intraparietal gyrus scene-selective (PIGS) site was detected consistently in a large pool of subjects (

Using artificial intelligence to explore sound symbolic expressions of gender in American English

Published: January 2024

This study investigates the extent to which gender can be inferred from the phonemes that make up given names and words in American English. Two extreme gradient boosted algorithms were constructed to classify words according to gender, one using a list of the most common given names (N∼1,000) in North America and the other using the Glasgow Norms (N∼5,500), a corpus consisting of nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs which have each been assigned a psycholinguistic score of how they are associated with male or female behaviour. Both models report significant findings, but the model constructed using given names achieves a greater accuracy despite being trained on a smaller dataset suggesting that gender is expressed more robustly in given names than in other word classes. Feature importance was examined to determine which features were contributing to the decision-making process. Feature importance scores revealed a general pattern across both models, but also show that not all word classes express gender the same way. Finally, the models were reconstructed and tested on the opposite dataset to determine whether they were useful in classifying opposite samples. The results showed that the models were not as accurate when classifying opposite samples, suggesting that they are more suited to classifying words of the same class.

Introduction: Dental anxiety is a common problem among children, leading to missed dental appointments and neglect of oral health. Conscious sedation is a technique used in dental clinics to alleviate anxiety and enhance the patient’s experience. However, parents often lack understanding about conscious sedation, which can hinder their consent for the procedure for their child. Aim: To assess parents’ knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions towards conscious sedation in dental care settings. Materials and Methods: This study employed a pre-test/posttest quasi-experimental design and involved 400 parents (aged 21-40 years) whose children, aged 3 to 16 years, were randomly selected to complete a questionnaire survey at the Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry at Rajarajeswari Dental College and Hospital in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. The survey was conducted between December 2022 and March 2023, spanning a period of four months. Data collection methods included a pre-education questionnaire and a posteducation questionnaire after an educational intervention. The collected data underwent statistical analysis, utilising mean, Standard Deviation (SD), Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Wilcoxon's signed rank, and Tukey’s posthoc tests. Results: Prior to education, 393 (98.25%) of the study population were unaware that conscious sedation was safe and easy. It was observed that 368 (92%) of the participants opposed conscious sedation for their child, but following education, 400 (100%) agreed, resulting in a 95.2% shift in perception. Conclusion: The study revealed that, before the intervention, the majority of parents were unaware of and opposed to conscious sedation, indicating a significant knowledge gap. However, the implementation of educational interventions during dental visits, led by dentists, played a crucial role in improving their knowledge and significantly changing their attitude, with 400 (100%) agreeing to the use of conscious sedation.

Introduction: Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is considered the best screening tool for varices among patients with chronic liver disease. However, it is an expensive and invasive procedure that is not routinely available in rural India. Abdominal ultrasonography along with colour Doppler study is an inexpensive test commonly ordered for patients with chronic liver disease. Recent literature suggests that ultrasonographic parameters can be used to predict varices. Aim: To determine if ultrasonography of the entire abdomen and spleno-portal Doppler study findings can predict oesophageal varices in patients with chronic liver disease. Materials and Methods: The present hospital-based observational, cross-sectional study was conducted in the indoor ward of the Department of General Medicine at Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata, India, over a duration of one year from February 2021 to February 2022. Total 100 patients with chronic liver disease, admitted to the hospital ward, were included in the study. Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) scores were obtained for all patients. Ultrasonographic and spleno-portal Doppler indices, such as liver size, spleen size, portal vein diameter, splenic vein diameter, peak systolic velocity of the portal vein, and portal vein/splenic vein diameter ratio, were measured alongside upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to detect varices. The data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 28.0. The Chi-square test was used to test for significant differences in proportions (categorical data), and the independent t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with Tukey’s Post-hoc test were employed to test for significant differences in means (continuous data). Additionally, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves were obtained for statistically significant parameters to predict the presence of varices. Results: The study enrolled 100 patients (63% males, 37% females) with a mean age of 49.19±14.965 years, ranging from 14 to 91 years. (median age of 52, range 14-91 years). Of these, 68 patients (68%) had oesophageal varices, while 32 (32%) did not. The study found that a mean spleen size of 13.55 cm, a mean portal vein diameter of 12.5 mm, and a mean splenic vein diameter of ≥9.05 mm were predictive of varices. Additionally, a mean portal vein/splenic vein diameter ratio of 1.6150 was also predictive of varices. However, there was no significant difference in mean liver size and peak systolic velocity between those with and without varices. Conclusion: The present study suggests that a spleen size, portal vein diameter, splenic vein diameter, and portal vein/splenic vein diameter ratio can be reliably used to predict oesophageal varices among patients with chronic liver disease.
