MENINGKATKAN MOTIVASI MENANAM TANAMAN ORGANIK MELALUI MOTIVATION TRAINING PADA KELOMPOK WANITA TANI KULONPROGO
Authors: Aliza Novia Fetri
Published: October 2022

Tingginya permintaan pasar akan kebutuhan tanaman organik menyebabkan kelompok wanita tani Amrihrahayu Nanggulan Kulon Progo mengalami kesulitan untuk memenuhi permintaan pelanggan. Faktor ini terjadi karena kesadaran masyarakat untuk membudidayakan pertanian organik belum terbentuk dengan optimal, sehingga lebih dari 65% masyarakat Nanggulan yang memiliki lahan pertanian belum menanam pertanian organik. Alasan para petani cukup beragam, mulai dari  pengetahuan yang kurang terkait pentingnya menanam tanaman organik, hingga ketakutan gagal panen bila menanam tanpa menggunakan pestisida. Tujuan pendampingan ini adalah untuk meningkatkan motivasi petani membudidayakan pertanian organik. Metode pendampingan dilakukan dengan cara memberikan motivation training terkait pentingnya membudidayakan pertanian organik berbasis komunitas. Secara umum tahapan pendampingan dilakukan melalui dua tahap yaitu memberikan motivasi untuk perubahan mindset petani kemudian praktek menanam tanaman organik. Hasil yang diperoleh dari pendampingan ini menunjukkan perubahan yang cukup baik pada masyarakat, yaitu dari 25 orang peserta yang hadir 17 orang diantaranya bertekad untuk mencoba bertanam organik, sedangkan 7 orang diantaranya masih ragu. Berdasarkan laporan dari ketua kelompok wanita tani Amrih Rahayu menjelaskan bahwa ketika masa tanam tiba jumlah petani yang bergabung untuk menanam tanam organik meningka signifikan. Jumlah lahan di Nanggulan yang tidak membudidayakan pertanian organik pada masa tanam hanya tersisa sekitar 30%. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa pendampingan yang diberikan cukup efektif menyelesaikan permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh kelompok mitra.

Published: October 2022

Background: Medical interns and residents are future medical professionals and as first-line responders, they may confront any type of emergency. Knowledge of pharmacotherapeutics (PTs) is the backbone of emergency care. Therefore, this study is designed to assess PTs’ knowledge and identify the lacunae in handling various medical emergencies among medical interns and residents.Methods: This was a cross-sectional, observational, questionnaire-based study. A self-structured questionnaire containing 30 close-ended questions, assessing the knowledge of drugs utilized in various medical emergency conditions was prepared and circulated in the form of a Google form. A credit score of “1” was given for each correct response. Grading of knowledge was done as “poor” (≤50%), “average” (>50-70%), and “adequate” (>70%-100%) The student’s unpaired t-test was used to analyse the data.Results: A total of 282 candidates responded, with 148 (52.48 %) interns and 134 (47.52%) residents. Participants had the least knowledge of PTs for anaphylactic shock. Participants’ knowledge of PTs was found to be adequate regarding the central nervous system and electrolyte disorders while average regarding toxicology, immunization, and endocrine system. Results suggested that residents (mean score: 21.42±5.06) were significantly (p=0.0165) more knowledgeable than interns (mean score: 19.96±5.08). Among respondents, 17.6% of interns and 13.4% of residents had poor performance while 45.9% of interns and 53.7% of residents had adequate performance.Conclusions: The current study provides valuable information regarding the state of PTs’ knowledge in medical emergencies among interns and residents, which can be used to improve undergraduate as well as postgraduate training.

Authors: Singh Rohit Kumar , Guleria Sandeep , Sinha Rani Indira
Published: October 2022

Azathioprine is one of the triple therapy immunosuppressive agents used in patients of renal transplant. Azathioprine is being used successfully in majority of patients of renal graft. But one of the dreaded complications caused by it is severe bone-marrow suppression. Here I am reporting a case of severe, life- threatening bone-marrow suppression in a 30 years old male patient of renal transplant. The case is very important and attention is needed to be given by health care professionals and by clinicians. The patient underwent renal transplant surgery in Indraprastha Apollo hospital, New Delhi. The patient was on immunosuppressive agents: prednisolone, cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil. After 10 months of renal transplant surgery, the patient was switched over azathioprine due to complains of GI upset due to mycophenolate mofetil. In initial 2 months there was moderate bone-marrow suppression, but afterwards there was severe bone-marrow suppression. Lastly TLC reached 300 /mm3 and Hb was 3.8 g/dL and that was life-threatening condition. The patient was managed in ICU with inj. Grafeel under strict hygienic conditions. The patient was recovered successfully with necessary conservative managements during admission. In my case, causality of azathioprine was “definite/ certain” as per Narenjo scale. Seriousness of the reaction was “life- threatening”.

Authors: Singh Rohit K. , Rani Rakhi , Shankar Vikas , Sinha Rani I.
Published: October 2022

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are severe cutaneous adverse drug reaction, which are mainly caused by drugs; and these are usually associated with high degree of morbidity and mortality. They are characterized by mucocutaneous tenderness and typically haemorrhagic erosions, erythema and more or less severe epidermal detachment as blisters and areas of denuded skin.  High risk drugs for the development of SJS-TEN include phenobarbitone, phenytoin, carbamazepine, lamotrigine, nevirapine, NSAIDs, allopurinol, and cotrimoxazole. A 33 years old female patient came to skin and venereal diseases (VD) outpatient department (OPD) with complaints of painful skin lesions. She was apparently symptom free 15 days back. Then she took tablet phenobarbitone 60 mg, BD as her anti-epileptic treatment. After 12-13 days of taking the drug, she developed erythematous papules associated with itching over her both forearm, face, chest, abdomen, back and lower limbs bilaterally which rapidly progressed to fluid-filled blisters that ruptured to form painful erosions and desquamation of skin all over the body. The patient was managed by withdrawal of phenobarbitone and conservatively, and the patient recovered successfully. The causality of phenobarbitone in this reaction was “probable” as per Naranjo scale. Seriousness of the reaction was “prolonged hospitalization”. Phenobarbitone is one of the most common causative agents of SJS and TEN. The main stay of treatment is immediate withdrawal of causative agent along with supportive care.

Published: October 2022

The public health burden caused by cancer is significant in both developing and developed nations. The ability of biological, chemical, or synthetic substances to prevent, inhibit, or stop the progression of carcinogenic is known as anticancer activity. To treat the condition, several synthetic drugs are utilized, however because of their toxicity, research is now being done to examine chemotherapeutic medicines produced from plants. A review of several in vivo and in vitro techniques for determining the anticancer activities of natural compounds from medicinal plants has thus been undertaken. In this study, 50 Indian anticancer medicinal plants from 35 families are presented, together with comprehensive data on the parts and extracts utilized, the model type employed, the cancer cell line types that were tested, etc. These plants are still utilized to treat numerous tumor forms, including lymphoma, sarcoma, leukemia, and carcinoma. All of plants are likely candidates for in vivo research since they have strong anticancer action in vitro.

Authors: P. Nayak Samar , Gopalkrishnan Gayathri , H. Ramakrishna Somashekara
Published: October 2022

Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (PIL) is a rare protein-losing gastroenteropathy characterized by dilatation of the intestinal lymphatics and loss of lymph fluid into the gastrointestinal tract, leading to the development of hypoproteinaemia, oedema, lymphocytopenia, hypogammaglobinaemia, and immunologic abnormalities. We report a series of 4 children from Bangalore, India presenting with anasarca, diarrhoea, and hypoproteinaemia. All four patients were confirmed to have of PIL on histopathology. We retrospectively reviewed the case records of children diagnosed with primary intestinal lymphangiectasia presenting to department of pediatric gastroenterology within the time frame of July 2015 to September 2018. Four patients were diagnosed with primary intestinal lymphangiectasia. All of them presented with features of protein losing enteropathy (generalized oedema, ascites and low albumin), chronic diarrhoea, lymphopenia, hypercalcemia, and hypogammaglobulinemia. Endoscopically mucosa was normal in two patients and showed Snowflake appearance in other 2 patients. Intestinal biopsies were characteristic of lymphangiectasia in all four patients.

Published: October 2022

Achalasia cardia is a motility disorder where there is aperistalsis of the body of the esophagus and failure of lower esophageal sphincter relaxation. This manifests as a functional gastroesophageal junction obstruction. This disorder is rare and has a prevalence of 10 in 100,000 population. It has a peak incidence between 30-60 years of age. The incidence in the pediatric population is very low and is even rarer in infants. Here we present a case of achalasia cardia in a 9-month-old male infant weighing 3.1 kilograms. The child had complaints of regurgitation of milk, non-projectile vomiting, fever and cough for the past 3 months along with failure to thrive. He was treated for bronchopneumonia initially and then evaluated with a barium swallow. The barium swallow revealed a hold-up of contrast in the distal esophagus along with a typical bird-beak appearance. Definitive surgical intervention was being planned. However, the child aspirated and expired. Did we delay the procedure? Were we too late? These questions continue to make us self-introspect on the management of infantile achalasia cardia. The paucity of available publications and data is a major roadblock in management.

Authors: Singh Ajeet
Published: October 2022

Background: Primary osteoarthritis of knee is one of the most common degenerative conditions associated with disability. With more of varus knee medial compartment osteoarthritis is most common and early presentation. High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is technically demanding and associated with major complication like neurovascular injury, iatrogenic fracture, nonunion. Practically HTO is associated with longer bed immobilization and difficult to take bilateral condition.

Methods: We treated 38 patients 54 knees with proximal fibular osteotomy for primary medial compartment osteoarthritis excluding other condition like secondary and inflammatory from January 2017 to December 2017. Pre operative assessment of patients done on standing antero-posterior (AP) X-ray and knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS). Post operative assessment done on opening of medial joint line space on standing AP X-ray and KOOS score.

Results: Patients treated with PFO, there was change in the weight bearing axis, opening of the medial joint space, improvement in pain, functional outcome assesses with improvement in KOOS score. 8 patients experienced some catchy knee pain and swelling and deterioration of KOOS score.

Conclusions: PFO is simple, cost effective and can be surgical treatment option for primary medial compartment Osteoarthritis irrespective of age, though a greater number of patients with longer follow is needed, initial results are very promising in majority of patients and few patients shows deterioration in comparison to initial results but overall patient’s satisfaction index is good.
A comparative study of intertan nail versus proximal femoral nail antirotation in the treatment of peritrochanteric fractures
Authors: Kothiyal Pranav , Vij Kunal , Gupta Puneet , Sharma Shashank
Published: October 2022

Background: Over the past decades the incidence of intertrochanteric fractures has increased and there is a universal agreement about the intramedullary nail being the preferred implant of fixation for these fractures.

Methods: In this study we have attempted to assess and compare the results and immediate as well as long term outcome of fractures managed by proximal femoral nail anti rotation and the intertan nail. We included 102 patients in our study, half in the group managed by proximal femoral nail anti rotation group and half in the group managed by intertan nail. Over a period of almost one and half years we evaluated the patients in immediate and late post op period for the union of the fracture, functional outcomes and the short- and long-term complications.

Results: The results were evaluated in the terms of intraoperative variables like fluoroscopy time, mean blood loss and reduction achieved and postoperatively in terms of superficial wound infections and Harris hip score and mobility score of paper and palmer which were comparable for both groups of patients with slight differences in some variables.

Conclusions: We concluded that the intertan nail is a good option for fracture fixation in patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures and though associated with a steeper learning curve it has lesser complications and slightly better functional outcomes as compared to the proximal femoral nail anti rotation.

Authors: Bezawada Paparao , Yadlapalli Saipramod , Katta Hari Chandana
Published: October 2022

Synovial chondromatosis is a benign condition encountered infrequently within joints which is also known as synovial osteochondromatosis. They present as multiple nodules in the synovium which are either fibrin type or cartilaginous type. The fibrin type usually results from bleeding within the joint, rheumatoid arthritis and tuberculosis. The cartilaginous type is usually due to trauma or osteoarthritis. This typically involves large joints, knee being the most common, rarely small joints also may be involved. Here we report a case of 30-year-old female who presented to us with symptoms of swelling, restriction of movement and pain in the right knee. After clinical and radiological assessment, arthroscopic exploration with loose body removal and synovectomy done, following which patient achieved painless complete range of movements. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis as synovial chondromatosis.

Authors: Jain Prateek , Atram Vikas , Mittal Ayush , Arora Chandan
Published: October 2022

Fracture of the acromion process is an uncommon injury. The most common mechanism of injury is direct trauma to the acromion. Isolated acromion fractures are rare as usually they are associated with concomitant skeletal and soft tissue injuries of the shoulder. We present a case of a 45-year-old male with a type 3 fracture of acromion process with reduction of subacromial space. Patient was managed surgically and fracture was fixed using tension band wiring. Patient was followed up using UCLA, DASH and VAS scores and showed good radiological and functional outcomes. Minimally displaced fractures should be regularly followed up for displacement and sub-acromial space compromise. Although acromion fractures are usually treated conservatively, albeit a higher non-union rate, they should be treated surgically in the event of displacement or sub-acromial space reduction, in order to achieve good functional recovery.

 
Multiparametric composite glow and radiance scale: an objective, scientific assessment tool for skin glow and radiance evaluation
Authors: . Ritambhara , Sachdev Mukta
Published: October 2022

There are numerous instruments available to assess pigmentation in terms of color, melanin, and other factors, but there is no standardized or validated tool to assess a person's glow and radiance. The MSCR- glow and radiance index (G&R)-composite scale was created with the help of a bio-physics background and includes five important factors. The scale is intended to provide an objective, scientific assessment tool for a highly subjective perception caused by numerous skin features. It should be emphasized that the scale is highly sensitive in measuring minor changes in the skin and generating numerical data that can be assessed using various statistical method. The numerical interpretation is also equivalent to measurements produced with a scientific instrument employing optometry principle, as evidenced by comparisons with other instruments. The assessment scale is an amalgamation of sensory visual evaluation with bio-physics that defines the optometric of the skin. The scale has been used to objectively assess skin glow and was found to be a highly sensitive assessment tool to assess all kind of dermatological products designed to provide enhanced glow and radiance.
Here\'s what really matters in vitiligo; Vitamin D3 and lifestyle
Authors: Makkar Dheeraj , Singla S.
Published: October 2022

Epidermal melanocyte deficit is the basis of Vitiligo. It is a prolonged condition that may be inherited or acquired. Vitiligo affects 1-2 percent of the global population of all races. Several processes have been hypothesized for the breakdown of melanocytes in Vitiligo. These include genetic, autoimmune, oxidative stress, inflammatory mediator production, and melanocyte detachment processes.

Vitamin D suppresses UVB-induced apoptosis in keratinocytes and melanocytes by reducing IL-6, IL-8, TNF-a, and TNF-c production. It reduces the autoimmune linked to Vitiligo.

We conducted a case-control study in which we compared the level of Vitamin D in patients with Vitiligo and healthy cases. We confirmed our diagnosis with biopsy and utilized the Elisa method to assess the level of Vitamin D.

The concentrations of Vitamin D in individuals with Vitiligo were much lower than in controls; however, we did not find a significant effect of vitamin D deficiency on the progression of Vitiligo lesions. Therefore we conclude that Vitamin D is involved in the genesis of Vitiligo, and replenishing the levels may help the patient recover faster.

Modern approaches to treating cancer with oncolytic viruses
Authors: Vorobjeva Irina V. , Zhirnov Oleg P.
Published: October 2022

According to the World Health Organization, cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world. This serves as a powerful incentive to search for new effective cancer treatments. The development of new oncolytic viruses that are capable of destroying cancer cells selectively is one of the modern approaches to cancer treatment. The advantage of this method – selective lysis of tumor cells with the help of viruses – leads to an increase in the antitumor immune response of the body, which, in turn, promotes the destruction of the primary tumor and its metastases. Significant progress in the development of this method has been achieved in the last decade. In this review, we analyze the literature data on the oncolytic viruses that have demonstrated a positive therapeutic effect against malignant neoplasms in various localizations. We discuss the main mechanisms of the oncolytic activity of viruses and assess their advantages over other methods of cancer therapy as well as the prospects for their use in clinical practice.

Authors: Mlakar Nadja , Zupan Korže Saša
Published: October 2022

Animals have been an important part of human life for ages. Nowadays, some people even treat pets as life-companions, which accompany them even on vacations. The main purpose of this article is a) to identify issues that owners deal with while planning a trip or when travelling with their pets and b) to present the attitudes of Slovenian pet owners regarding pet hotels. The research was conducted in Slovenia in 2019 and 2020, using a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods. The findings show that Slovene pet owners rather travel with their pets than put them in pet hotels, particularly when going on vacation by car and travelling on short trips through Slovenia or in neighbouring countries. Regarding pet hotels, pet owners are mostly concerned about professional care for their pets and less about the price of the service. The study gives important information to tourist accommodation providers and pet hotel providers on how to adapt their services to their ‘pet guest’ and satisfy the pet owners.

Performance appraisal systems: The need to focus on employee engagement
Authors: Mkunde Beatrice Mosha
Published: October 2022

Of the numerous functions of human resource management, performance appraisal (PA) is considered to play a critical role in the success of the organisation because its outcomes show the success of the realisation of other human resource functions. But, with the changes in a working context where winning the hearts and minds of employees is of paramount importance, there is a need for improved engagement of employees in the appraisal process. This study aims to ascertain whether the current appraisal process engages the employee fully. The study was conducted by two organisations in Dar es Salaam. The total sample size consisted of 50 subordinates. Interviews with key informants and questionnaires were used to collect data. Descriptive analysis was used to analyse the data with the use of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 16. Results indicate that the PA tool does not fully engage employees; the focus is more on the gap between expected performance and actual performance than on employee engagement and coaching, which are fundamental in winning the hearts and minds of employees.

Xoqoneb’: una historia uspanteka de las tierras altas centrales de Guatemala

Uspanteko is one of the smallest (in terms of speakers) and most threatened Mayan languages spoken in Guatemala. While Uspanteko belongs to the K’ichean branch of the Mayan family, it bears a striking number of linguistic features not seen in its sister languages across major aspects of the grammar, including phonetics/phonology (e.g., lexical tone) and morphosyntax (e.g., null verbal inflection). After introducing an Uspanteko text about the sacred hill Xoqoneb’ and placing it in its cultural context, including surveying related Uspanteko texts, we use Xoqoneb’ to illustrate those aspects of the Uspanteko language which stand out relative to other K’ichean languages. We also comment on the possible sources of these divergent features, which include both language contact and innovation.
A Study on the Formation and Transition Process of Regional Hub from Proto: Three Kingdom to Unified Shilla Period in Cheongju Basin

In archeology, which studies past lifestyles, the study of the remains of life has received attention early. However, in the archaeological studies in Korea, studies on cities were relatively insufficient. It was confined to a specific time period and a specific topic. Also data were more insufficient for local cities.
Examining the distribution status and political background of each period, it can be seen that Cheongju area is very valuable as a city research data. The main life area of the Cheongju have been found in the Cheongju Basin since ancient times. In this study, the remains of living that were identified in the basin were researched.
In the Cheongju Basin, there are both ancient natural growth cities and medieval planned cities. Cheongju was an ancient city which, through its geographical advantage, developed into a growth city through the absorption process of Baekje from Mahan's large settlement. At one time, however, the city declined in the adverse environment of the borders of centralized countries. However, Silla established 'Seowon-Sokyung' around the new center right after reunification. As the planned city of 'Sokyung' entered, Cheongju became the center city of Chungcheong-do.
On the other hand, the background of the installation of 'Sokyung' was the control and monitoring of the Baekje-based Local people for political purposes and it can be estimated from the medieval urban structure with the 'Bangri system'. In the early Cheongju region of Goryeo, The thaneship which opposed to the central forces become a center.
This political background suggests that the goals for the overpowered and conquered people have become receded, and this means that the object of check has been turned into thaneship. Nevertheless, the Cheongju area Gyesugwan of the 23rd year of the Goryeo Taejo.
This compares with the situation at the time of the installation of 'Sokyung' right after Silla's unification. The background seems to have been the reasons for the change of the ruling dynasty (the fact that Cheongju was not a newly expanded territory) and appeasement for Cheongju in early Goryeo. In this period, it is confirmed that the compartments such as fence facilities and road yards are expanded and compared with the case of Northern Song dynasty, it was possible to imagine the change in the structure of the street which lost the control function of Bang-ri system like the phenomenon in Northern Song capital Since then, the medieval city of Cheongju has developed into the present city through the Joseon Dynasty.
