Turismo em Fernando de Noronha – Uma visão de sustentabilidade a partir do estruturalismo
Authors: Rocha José Murilo , Brasileiro Iara Lucia Gomes
Published: August 2019

O arquipélago de Fernando de Noronha, também conhecido com a “Esmeralda do Atlântico” devido à coloração esverdeada de suas águas, se estabeleceu como um dos roteiros turísticos mais procurados devido às suas belezas naturais exuberantes. Desde o início da década de 1980, o turismo tem sido incrementado na ilha e a preocupação com a conservação desse patrimônio natural foi implementada tornando o lugar uma Área de Proteção Ambiental (APA) e Parque Nacional Marinho. Dentre as teorias do turismo, destacamos aqui, para esta visão do turismo em Fernando de Noronha, a teoria estruturalista, concebida pelo professor Mário Carlos Beni, apresentando o arquipélago através dos conjuntos das relações ambientais, da organização estrutural e das ações operacionais. Assim, este artigo se propõe a demonstrar, através desta teoria, como o turismo ora praticado em Fernando de Noronha pode ser considerado sustentável.
Pau de Arara e o vai e vém das romarias : um estudo etnográfico do transporte no município de Canindé – Ceará = Pau de arara comes and goes pilgrimages ethnographic : a study of transport in the municipality of Canindé
Authors: Silva Ivo Luis Oliveira , Pereira Glecy Anne Castro , Mapurunga Gláudia Mota Portela
Published: August 2019

Espera-se que este ensaio contribua para o desenvolvimento de estudos acerca do transporte informal de passageiros, com a alcunha de Pau de Arara ou carro de horário, bastante empregado no Norte e Nordeste brasileiro. Este ensaio analisa esta prática no município de Canindé, localizado no nordeste brasileiro. São conhecidas as limitações que o sertão cearense sofre com suas distâncias, declives, estradas vicinais mal conservadas e ausência de infraestrutura de acesso. Na opção que resta está um transporte que ao mesmo tempo é excludente e inclusivo, por levar tudo e a todos, a qualquer lugar. O Pau de arara é adaptado para transportar passageiros entre a zona rural e a zona urbana, em romarias e para transporte de cargas sem as mínimas condições de segurança. Para a investigação utilizou-se métodos como pesquisa bibliográfica, documental, diário de campo, entrevistas, questionários, etnografia e a observação participante sobre medidas dos sistemas de transportes públicos nacional.
O valor do lazer no jogo da essência e aparência das relações sociais capitalistas
Authors: Vargas da Silveira Shaiane
Published: August 2019

O artigo apresenta uma reflexão sobre o lazer, seus significados e contradições na sociedade capitalista, enfatizando o jogo da essência e aparência como metáfora explicativa. Trata do valor de uso e valor de troca como características fundantes da diferenciação da essência e aparência do lazer. Contempla o leitor como uma perspectiva vinculada aos conceitos de experiência valiosa e lazer humanista, como alternativa de resgate da essência e do valor de uso do lazer. O objetivo da pesquisa é compreender como é possível superar as contradições do lazer e romper a lógica do capital nas intervenções promovidas pelo Estado. A construção dessa análise crítica contemplou o referencial teórico que apresenta as contradições do lazer estimuladas pelas relações sociais capitalistas.
Políticas culturais patrimoniais e planejamento urbano na Cidade Imperial de Petrópolis (RJ)
Authors: Araújo Ana Paula Silva de
Published: August 2019

A construção de uma relação mais democrática da sociedade com as políticas culturais e de preservação do patrimônio não atingiu avanços na conquista igualitária de direitos culturais. Isso passa a ser evidente na Cidade Imperial de Petrópolis (RJ), onde os instrumentos do planejamento urbano se direcionam para um tratamento meramente turístico do patrimônio reforçando a exclusão social da comunidade local. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste artigo é compreender a relação Estado e cultura em sua trajetória histórica na construção do planejamento na cidade de Petrópolis. Para isso, a metodologia seguida foi um levantamento das principais discussões sobre as políticas culturais e de preservação do patrimônio no Brasil e dos planos diretores municipais. Portanto, nas políticas de preservação do patrimônio, a hierarquia social entre o culto e o inculto nunca foi legitimamente rompida, mas reinventada nos limites do retorno a um passado imperial.

Published: August 2019

Legitimacy of Balinese Customary Lawin Cultural Literature Works. This article talks about the legitimacy of Balinese customary law and the reinterpretation of the authors of Balinese customary law in cultural literary works. The source of research data comes from the collection of "Bunga Jepun" short stories by Fajar Arcana, "Mandi Api" by Aryantha Soethama, Novel "Tarian Bumi" by Oka Rusmini, and "Incest" by Wayan Artika. The research data was collected by the library study method and then analyzed based on a qualitative descriptive approach which has several mechanisms, namely reduction, presentation of data, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the legality of Balinese customary law in question in cultural literature is about the customary law of marriage, the law of inheritance, the law of neglect (exclusion), and the ritual law of malik sumpah. These customary laws become a polemic and are discussed in literary works because they are unable to provide justice for the people and tend to be discriminatory. These customary laws are polemic and are discussed in literary works because they are unable to provide justice among indigenous people

Authors: Picón Jaimes Yelson Alejandro , Orozco Chinome Javier Esteban , Mejía Antolínez Leonor Andrea , Garcés Salamanca Christi Tatiana
Published: August 2019

Introducción. En el embarazo, las dermatosis afectan a menos del 20% de las gestantes y representan un grupo heterogéneo de afecciones cutáneas, con una forma variada de presentación y evolución. Objetivo. Presentar un caso de erupción polimorfa del embarazo, con aparición en el puerperio, describiendo a manera de revisión de la literatura los conocimientos que se tienen hasta la actualidad de dicha patología. Reporte de caso. Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 38 años, en puerperio de su primera gestación quien debutó con un cuadro clínico de erupción cutánea y prurito que inició en la zona abdominal y se extendió hacia los miembros inferiores. Las lesiones estaban constituidas por pápulas eritematosas que confluían hasta formar placas. Se diagnosticó con erupción polimorfa del embarazo y se dio manejo con antihistamínicos logrando la resolución de la patología. Discusión. La erupción polimórfica del embarazo es un trastorno inflamatorio benigno de la piel. Inicia con la aparición de pápulas pruriginosas que confluyen hasta formar placas eritematosas, que inician en el abdomen respetando la zona umbilical y parten generalmente de las estrías diseminándose a las extremidades. El tratamiento consiste en la utilización de emolientes y antihistamínicos para el control de las lesiones y el prurito. Conclusiones. Aunque se trata de una patología benigna y autolimitada, es importante llegar al diagnóstico correcto e iniciar un manejo médico adecuado ya que los síntomas como el prurito pueden generar lesiones por rascado que suelen sobre infectarse y comprometer el estado de salud de las pacientes.

The Relation Between Gender Identity and Well-Being
Authors: Zitelny Hila , Dror Tzipi , Altman Shahar , Bar-Anan Yoav
Published: August 2019

Does strong gender identity help or harm one’s well-being? Previous research suggests that acceptance of one’s social group and feelings of belongingness to the group are positively related to well-being, regardless of the group’s social status. However, there are inconsistent findings about the relation between well-being and how central the group is to one’s identity (centrality), especially among disadvantaged groups (e.g., women). In Studies 1-10 (total N = 5,955), we clarified these relations by controlling for shared variance between distinct gender identity aspects. Acceptance and belongingness were positively related to a range of well-being variables. Centrality was negatively related to well-being. These results were consistent across genders. Studies 11-14 (total N = 2,380) found that the negative relation between centrality and well-being might be mediated by perceived pressure to conform to the masculine-role among men, and perceived gender inequality among women. These results uncover a burden of strong gender identity.
You’re Still so Vain; Changes in Narcissism from Young Adulthood to Middle Age
Authors: Wetzel Eunike , Grijalva Emily , Robins Richard , Roberts Brent
Published: August 2019

To date, there have been no long-term longitudinal studies of continuity and change in narcissism. This study investigated rank-order consistency and mean-level changes in overall narcissism and three of its facets (leadership, vanity, entitlement) over a 23-year period spanning young adulthood (Mage=18; N = 486) to midlife (Mage=41; N = 237). We also investigated whether life experiences predicted changes in narcissism from young adulthood to midlife, and whether young adult narcissism predicted life experiences assessed in midlife. Narcissism and its facets showed strong rank-order consistency from age 18 to 41, with latent correlations ranging from .61 to .85. We found mean-level decreases in overall narcissism (d = –0.79) and all three facets, namely leadership (d = –0.67), vanity (d = –0.46), and entitlement (d = –0.82). Participants who were in supervisory positions showed smaller decreases in leadership, and participants who experienced more unstable relationships and who were physically healthier showed smaller decreases in vanity from young adulthood to middle age. Analyses of the long-term correlates of narcissism showed that young adults with higher narcissism and leadership levels were more likely to be in supervisory positions in middle age. Young adults with higher vanity levels had fewer children and were more likely to divorce by middle age. Together, the findings suggest that people tend to become less narcissistic from young adulthood to middle age, and the magnitude of this decline is related to the particular career and family pathways a person pursues during this stage of life.
What do the experts know? Calibration, precision, and the wisdom of crowds among forensic handwriting experts
Authors: Martire Kristy , Growns Bethany , Navarro Danielle
Published: August 2019

Forensic handwriting examiners currently testify to the origin of questioned handwriting for legal purposes. However, forensic scientists are increasingly being encouraged to assign probabilities to their observations in the form of a likelihood ratio. This study is the first to examine whether handwriting experts are able to estimate the frequency of US handwriting features more accurately than novices. The results indicate that the absolute error for experts was lower than novices, but the size of the effect is modest, and the overall error rate even for experts is large enough as to raise questions about whether their estimates can be sufficiently trustworthy for presentation in courts. When errors are separated into effects caused by miscalibration and those caused by imprecision, we find systematic differences between individuals. Finally, we consider several ways of aggregating predictions from multiple experts, suggesting that quite substantial improvements in expert predictions are possible when a suitable aggregation method is used.
On the likelihood of 'encapsulating all uncertainty'
Authors: Martire Kristy , Navarro Danielle , Edmond Gary , Newell Ben R
Published: August 2019

The assignment of personal probabilities to form a forensic practitioner's likelihood ratio is a mental operation subject to all the frailties of human memory, perception and judgment. While we agree that beliefs expressed as coherent probabilities are neither ‘right’ nor ‘wrong’ we argue that debate over this fact obscures both the requirement for and consideration of the ‘helpfulness’ of practitioner's opinayesions. We also question the extent to which a likelihood ratio based on personal probabilities can realistically be expected to ‘encapsulate all uncertainty’. Courts cannot rigorously assess a forensic practitioner's bare assertions of belief regarding evidential strength. At a minimum, information regarding the uncertainty both within and between the opinions of practitioners is required.
Poetics Today?
Authors: Miller J. Hillis
Published: August 2019

Taking as example a popular song of 1923, “Yes! We Have No Bananas,” and invoking Paul de Man’s distinction between poetics and hermeneutics, “Poetics Today?” argues that poetry or the poetic use of language has these days to a large degree migrated, at least as far as any widespread social effectiveness goes, from printed or manuscript “poetry” to popular songs and other digitized media forms such as video games, films, board games, and the like. Were Shakespeare alive today he might well be writing film scripts, popular songs, video games, or musicals. That is where the action is these days. That is where you can be influential if you have talent, not by publishing slender volumes of printed poetry in some small press, nor by writing stage plays. This means that “poetics” these days should be to a large degree focused on the new digital media.
The Mind Is Its Own Place: Of Lalla’s Comparative Poetics
Authors: Kachru Sonam , Mikkelson Jane
Published: August 2019

What is comparative poetics, and where is it to be found? The tradition of verses in Kashmiri ascribed to the fourteenth-century female ascetic Lalla might seem a strange place to look for answers to these questions, given that the customary parameters of comparative poetics trace disciplinary origins to no earlier than the twentieth century (Earl Miner) and tend to favour a large sample size (the greater the variety of poetic traditions brought under analysis, the likelier the discovery of poetic “universals”). In this article, we offer an account of comparative poetics at work on a much smaller scale and within a distinctive matrix of pressures and principles. Building on the close analysis of Lalla’s verses, we show how her corpus generates multiform “environments” – environments that afford the conceptual and aesthetic alignment of two pre-modern cosmopolitan literary and religious imaginaires, Sanskrit and Persian. In doing so, we call attention to what a comparative poetic endeavour could look like in a pre-modern world by presenting Lalla’s verses as an example of a literary corpus – importantly, not an extra-literary theoretical tradition – that is configured by immanent comparative poetics.
A Pulmonary Machinery: Béroalde de Verville,Les Soupirs amoureux(1583)
Authors: Conley Tom
Published: August 2019

Tom Conley’s essay studies verbal and visual signs in the poetry of François Béroalde de Verville (1556–1626). Exhumed and printed in her Poésie amoureuse de l’âge baroque: Vingt poètes maniéristes et baroques (1990), a “collage of poems focusing on the tortures of love,” Gisèle Mathieu-Castellani offers a selection of verse from Béroalde’s Les Soupirs amoureux (1583), the third volume of his Les Apprehensions spirituelles, “a collection of poetry, political theory and occult philosophy.” Examining in detail the first (and only) edition of Les Soupirs amoureux, Conley stresses how the volume as a whole appears not only as verse but also as a visual and physical object. He contends that the amorous sigh or “ soupir” is a signifier – a plot point – integral to a serial pattern of iterations that order what otherwise would be a patchwork of sonnets, elegies, odes, and complaintes. Given that, like his mentor, Henri IV, who was known for his visual acuity, Béroalde invests his verse with an ocular or even lenticular character of the kind that perhaps he had gained from his commentaries of the copperplate illustrations in Jacques Besson’s Theatrum instrumentorum (1576) and, later, his revised edition of the French translation (1546) of Francesco Colonna’s richly pictured Hypnerotomachia poliphilii (1600).
Persian Poetry, World Poetry, and Translatability
Authors: Ramazani Jahan
Published: August 2019

Although Goethe, who first propounded Weltliteratur, was inspired by Persian poetry, recent theorists of world literature have largely ignored it. Persian poetry thrived for hundreds of years across a vast swath of West, Central, and South Asia, but despite this transregional reach and influence, a dominant model of world literature as literature that gains in translation skews against it and other lyric-rich literatures. Exploring a ghazal of Rumi’s, this article examines translation’s losses of what Ezra Pound called poetry’s melopœia and logopœia. But it also looks closely at a contemporary ghazal by Simin Behbahani to check polemical arguments about the “untranslatability” of poetry, showing how phanopœia and other aspects of lyric can survive and even thrive in translation. Proposing a more nuanced position that allows for both losses and gains, this article argues that “world literature” must incorporate comparative literary specificity to be adequate to Persian and other varieties of lyric poetry.

Reducing the effort for systematic reviews in software engineering
Authors: Osborne Francesco , Muccini Henry , Lago Patricia , Motta Enrico
Published: August 2019

Context:

Systematic Reviews (SRs) are means for collecting and synthesizing evidence from the identification and analysis of relevant studies from multiple sources. To this aim, they use a well-defined methodology meant to mitigate the risks of biases and ensure repeatability for later updates. SRs, however, involve significant effort.

Goal:

The goal of this paper is to introduce a novel methodology that reduces the amount of manual tedious tasks involved in SRs while taking advantage of the value provided by human expertise.

Method:

Starting from current methodologies for SRs, we replaced the steps of keywording and data extraction with an automatic methodology for generating a domain ontology and classifying the primary studies. This methodology has been applied in the Software Engineering sub-area of Software Architecture and evaluated by human annotators.

Results:

The result is a novel Expert-Driven Automatic Methodology, EDAM, for assisting researchers in performing SRs. EDAM combines ontology-learning techniques and semantic technologies with the human-in-the-loop. The first (thanks to automation) fosters scalability, objectivity, reproducibility and granularity of the studies; the second allows tailoring to the specific focus of the study at hand and knowledge reuse from domain experts. We evaluated EDAM on the field of Software Architecture against six senior researchers. As a result, we found that the performance of the senior researchers in classifying papers was not statistically significantly different from EDAM.

Conclusions:

Thanks to automation of the less-creative steps in SRs, our methodology allows researchers to skip the tedious tasks of keywording and manually classifying primary studies, thus freeing effort for the analysis and the discussion.
Physical Activity, APOE Genotype, and Cognitive Decline: Exploring Gene-Environment Interactions in the UK Biobank
Authors: Folley Stephanie , Zhou Ang , Llewellyn David J. , Hyppönen Elina
Published: August 2019

Background:

Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype affects the risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) with inconclusive evidence on the opportunity to mitigate related adverse effects by lifestyle changes.

Objective:

To examine the individual and interactive associations of APOE and objectively-measured physical activity (PA) and sedentary activity with cognitive decline.

Methods:

We used data from middle-aged and older UK Biobank participants with repeat tests on visuospatial memory ( n = 52,767) and fluid intelligence ( n = 19,713), and who also took part in the accelerometer sub-study. PA and sedentary activity were assessed by a wrist-worn accelerometer over a seven-day period. Cognitive decline was defined as >1 standard deviation (SD) reduction in memory or fluid intelligence score, and the mean follow up from baseline was 5.8 years.

Results:

There was an age dependent association between APOE ɛ 4 genotype and memory decline (page-interaction = 0.01), with the association only seen in participants who were >65 years (OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.24; for <65 years OR 1.06, 95% CI 0.99 to 1.14). The OR for the APOE ɛ 4 association with fluid intelligence decline was 1.11 (95% CI 0.99 to 1.24), and there was no evidence for age interaction (p age- interaction = 0.99). High PA and low sedentary activity were associated with reduced mean memory decline ( p < 0.02 for both). There was no interaction between PA or sedentary activity with APOE ɛ 4 regarding either of the cognitive decline measures ( p > 0.63 for all).

Conclusion:

This large-scale study using objectively measured PA did not find differential effects of PA on cognitive decline based on APOE genotype.
Resveratrol and Metformin Recover Prefrontal Cortex AMPK Activation in Diet-Induced Obese Mice but Reduce BDNF and Synaptophysin Protein Content

Published: August 2019

Background:

Obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes are established risk factors for the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Given this connection, two drugs, metformin (MET) and resveratrol (RESV), are considered for the clearance of amyloid-β peptides through AMPK-mediated activation of autophagy. However, overactivation of AMPK observed in late-stage AD brains and relationships between AMPK and neurogenesis (through mTORC1 inhibition), questions treatment with these drugs.

Objective:

To examine if MET and/or RESV supplementation activates brain AMPK, regulates markers of autophagy, and affects markers of neuronal health/neurogenesis.

Methods:

8-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were fed a low (N = 12; 10% kcal fat; LFD) or high fat diet (N = 40; 60% kcal fat; HFD) for 9 weeks to induce insulin resistance and obesity. HFD mice were then treated with/without MET (250 mg/kg/day), RESV (100 mg/kg/day), or COMBO (MET: 250 mg/kg/day, RESV: 100 mg/kg/day) for 5 weeks. Hippocampus and prefrontal cortex were extracted for western blotting analysis.

Results:

Cortex AMPK (T172) and raptor (S792, the regulatory subunit of mTORC1) phosphorylation were upregulated following RESV, COMBO treatments. mTOR (S2448) and ULK1 (S555) activation was seen following MET, COMBO and RESV, COMBO treatments, respectively, in the cortex and hippocampus. p62 content was decreased following RESV, COMBO, with LC3 content being increased following RESV treatment in the cortex. Brain derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) was significantly decreased following RESV, COMBO, and synaptophysin following all treatment in the cortex.

Conclusion:

These results demonstrate that while treatments upregulated markers of autophagy in the prefrontal cortex, reductions in neuronal health markers question the efficacy of AMPK as a therapy for AD.
Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes Mellitus, and Hypertension in Lewy Body Disease: A Comparison with Other Dementia Disorders
Authors: Javanshiri Keivan , Haglund Mattias , Englund Elisabet
Published: August 2019

Background:

Research concerning the potential roles of cardiovascular disease (CaVD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) as risk factors for Lewy body disease (LBD) is limited. These disorders are, however, established risk factors for vascular dementia (VaD) and have been proposed as risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Objective:

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of CaVD and DM in LBD and compare the results with previous findings in cases with AD, VaD, and mixed AD-VaD (MD).

Methods:

Autopsy reports at the Clinical Department of Pathology in Lund from 2001–2018 were analyzed. All cases with a complete neuropathological diagnosis of LBD were selected, not distinguishing between subjects with clinical Parkinson disease dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies, on the condition of a clinical diagnosis of dementia. Clinical data were retrieved through the patients’ medical records and the Swedish National Diabetes Register (NDR) and compared with those of the AD, VaD, and MD cases.

Results:

In LBD, there was less CaVD, significantly less DM ( p = 0.002) and likewise significantly less hypertension ( p < 0.001) than in VaD. The results of the LBD group were consistent with the results of the AD group.

Conclusion:

Our findings of a low prevalence of CaVD and CaVD risk factors in LBD and in AD argue against the association between these risk factors and their contribution to the development of neurodegenerative diseases.
Sevoflurane Affects Memory Through Impairing Insulin-Like Growth Factor Receptor Signaling
Authors: Tian Yuan , Song Mingrui
Published: August 2019

Administration of sevoflurane (SEVO) may induce learning and memory deficits, which increases the chances of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Here, we studied the effects of SEVO exposure on rats with a focus on the role of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling. SEVO exposure significantly increased neuron cell apoptosis, and caused poor performance of the rats in behavior tests, by suppressing IGF-1 receptor (IGF1R). Bioinformatic analysis predicted microRNA(miR)-223-3p as an IGF1R-binding miRNA, the level of which increased in neurons after exposure to SEVO. In vitro, miR-223-3p suppressed the translation of IGF1R in neural cells. Moreover, transfection with antisense of miR-223-3p significantly attenuated SEVO exposure-induced neuron cell apoptosis. Taken together, these data suggest that SEVO-induced miR-223-3p upregulation suppresses IGF1R to impair IGF signaling, which subsequently leads to learning and memory impairments.

BACKGROUND:

PROMISE Model Demonstration Projects (MDPs) are on the front line of innovative, comprehensive supports for transition-aged youth and their families. Investments made through PROMISE can inform future policy and practice in youth transition, family engagement, and systems collaboration. This paper gives an overview of emerging lessons learned throughout the implementation of PROMISE MDPs.

DOCUMENTS REVIEWED:

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of documents from key stages of project implementation, including technical assistance plans, briefing books, mid-course and annual progress reports, and comprehensive process reports. These documents were reviewed regarding five core areas around which PROMISE was developed: collaboration models, professional development, leadership, service delivery, and family engagement.

FINDINGS:

The most salient emerging themes concern service delivery, leadership, interagency collaboration, professional development, and family engagement.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS:

This document review provides the foundation and directions for a further evaluation of lessons learned in PROMISE MDPs. These lessons can inform recommendations for sustainability, the use of best practices, and the integration of policies that support employment and post-secondary education for youth with disabilities and their families. It is essential that future research continues to develop a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of these emerging themes.
COMPARATIVE STUDY OF BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS AMONG ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH CATARACT
Authors: Patel Dr. Navin D.
Published: August 2019

Background: Cataract is among the most common ocular morbidity seen among elderly patients, it incidence is related to the aging process. It is a ocular morbidity and result in decrease the eye sight. Incidence of cataract related to aging process is generally seen in patients who are aged above 45 years of age. In previous researches it was estimated that approximately seventy five percent of general population above the 70 years of age has reported to suffer from lens opacity or cataract.

Material & Methods: Patients who were presenting with nuclear or cortical or posterior sub-capsular cataracts along with healthy age and gender matched controls were enrolled from outdoor and from ward by simple random sampling. Clearance from Institutional Ethics Committee was taken before start of study. Written informed consent was taken from each study participant.

Results:  On the assessment of serum sodium levels it was found that mean serum sodium levels were 144.12 ± 2.43 meq/l in the cataract group and mean serum sodium levels were 139.37±3.4 meq/l in the age matched controls. This difference among both the groups was statistically significant (P value <0.05). On the assessment of serum potassium levels, it was found that mean serum potassium levels were 4.32 ± 0.11 meq/l in the cataract group and mean serum potassium levels were 4.10 ± 0.16 meq/l in the age matched controls. This difference among both the groups was statistically non-significant (P value >0.05).

Conclusion: We concluded from the present study that the higher prevance of raised serum sodium levels in patients of senile cataract. We found that any alteration in serum electrolyte concentration leads to alterations in aqueous humor’s electrolyte concentration and responsible for risk factor for development of senile cataract.

Key words: senile cataract, serum sodium, serum potassium.
