Published: April 2024

Introduction: The study was conducted to evaluate clinical and functional outcomes of comminuted pilon of distal tibial fractures after surgical management and fixation by modalities available ranging from temporary external fixation, simple distal tibial plates to moderate plating system and intra medullary nails for fibula.

Methodology: Total 24 cases with intraarticular distal tibial pilon fracture were randomly divided in to two group. One group was managed by one stage procedure and second group was operated by two stage procedure.

Results: From this study we infer that patient who had undergone one stage procedure had shorter hospital stay. In present study we observed that arthrosis, superficial infection and arthritis was higher in two stage procedure. Assessed by Ovadia Beals Evaluation Score - Objective Evaluation as well as subjective evaluation. Furthermore, the rate of complications was also identical.  However, functional outcome assessed using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle-Hindfoot Score revealed that the patients underwent one stage procedure had better functional outcome.

Conclusion: Considering the better functional outcome and the shorter hospital stay, we preferred using one stage operative procedure in better skin condition, less soft tissue damage, closed fracture of type b and C AO/OTA Pilon fractures.

Authors: Chauhan Hardikkumar A , Khokhar Neeta , Makwana Neha , Shrimali Gaurishanker
Published: April 2024

Background

The prevalence rate of Hepatitis C is higher among patients who undergoes hemodialysis than general population. Due to frequent contact with blood transfusion patients with hemodialysis are very prone to Hepatitis C infection.Both Hepatitis B and C virus infection is a lead cause of mortality and morbidity among patients who are on hemodialysis. Still, very little research has focused on the morbidity measures of these serious disorders in low and middle income countries like India.

Aims & objectives

This study is conducted to investigate prevalence of Hepatitis C infection in patient who undergoes hemodialysis. The study aims to estimate the prevalence of hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections among hemodialysis patients in the civil hospital of Gandhinagar.

Material & methods

A retrospective study was carried out from September 2020 to September 2021 in General hospital Gandhinagar with the use of  ELISA kit by detecting anti-HCV antibody and Hipatitis B surface antigen from serum sample.. Total 100  sample collected from hemodialysis unit in General hospital Gandhinagar ..

Observation and results

This study was done in GMERS Medical College and General hospital Gandhinagar with 100 samples of hemodialysis patient from September 2020 to September 2021.Approach used in this study is retrospective. For diagnosis of HCV infection ELISA is used. Out of 100 patients, 21 patients were positive and 79 patients were negative for Hepatitis C and hepatitis as well as both. 

Conclusion

Risk of hepatitis infection is more associated with patients with chronic renal failure due to high frequency of transfusion of blood and blood products and extracorporeal circulation during hemodialysis. For prevention of spread of hepatitis infection among patients with hemodialysis, dialysis unit has to use proper universal precautions, has to properly maintain the machines of dialysis, and also has to follow proper disposal of material used in the unit. So that chances of getting cross infection of hepatitis become less.

Discussion

The prevalence of HCV was 12% among hemodialysis patients which is intermediate comparing to other study done in Andhra Pradesh and Kerala showing prevalence of 23% and 8%.Strict adherence to universal precautions to control infection practices will remain key to prevent transmission of hepatitis c and also other infections that can spread through parenteral route.In this study result shows that prevalence of hepatitis B and C infection in hemodialysis patients is 7% and 12%, respectively. While both hepatitis B and C positive cases are only 2%. Since hepatitis B and C share a common mode of transmission, we searched for co-infection with HBV and HCV among the patients, as seen in patients, 14 male and 7 female. Research studies on prevalence of hepatitis B and C co-infection in hemolysis are very rare. So the study suggested to conduct more research on this topic to prevent further prevalence of HCV and HBV.

The present study was designed to assess the seasonal perturbations in key antioxidant parameters: ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate (DPPH) scavenging activity, lipid per oxidation (LPO), uric acid and reduced glutathione (GSH) assay along with expression profile of genes that regulate the antioxidant pathway: manganese superoxide dismutase (SOD2), Glutathione Peroxidase 1 (GPX1) and apoptosis pathway: B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) and Bcl-2-associated X protein (BAX) in the two crucial indicine cattle breeds- Sahiwal and Kankrej. The study was carried out in the hot-arid region of Rajasthan across four seasons, wherein, the meteorological parameters were recorded across seasons to calculate the prevailing temperature-humidity index (THI) to assess the extent of heat load on cows. The study revealed huge diurnal variations in the temperature across four seasons, while the THI during summer and hot-humid seasons was well in excess of 80, highlighting significant heat stress on cows. All the key antioxidant parameters, except GSH registered an increase with the incremental THI. The transcriptional profile of SOD2 and GPX1 mRNA expression revealed significantly higher expression during the higher THI months of both summer and hot-humid seasons. The expression pattern of BAX and BCL2 mRNA in PBMCs of Sahiwal cows revealed an initial induction during the month of summer season with significantly higher expression, followed by a decline by the hot-humid season. The findings highlight a crucial role played by antioxidant defence and genes regulating apoptosis pathway in thermotolerance of indicine cattle breeds.

Published: April 2024

This study was aimed at determining the appropriate media for commercial cultivation of Trichoderma harzianum as a bio control agent. Seven different media, viz., sugarcane baggasse, rice husk, wheat bran, maize grind, chick pea husk, pea husk and a mixure of the six media (mixed) were tested. Among them rice husk was found to be the best medium as it supported the production of a significantly higher number (63.84x107/g medium) of spores of T. harzianum. This was followed by sugarcane baggasse, which produced 46.82x107/ g of medium. No significant difference in spore production was observed between pea husk and maize grind as well as between wheat bran and chick pea husk.

Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas) as a Quick Creeping Cover for Oil Palm Chippings and Residues at Replanting
Authors:   Southern Perak Plantations, Ong Buck
Published: April 2024

The rhinoceros beetle has emerged as a serious threat to the oil palm industry since the prohibition of burning as a measure of air pollution control in the estates beginning from the 1990's. Several types of approach are being tried out to control this pest. One such method is the submerging of palm chipping and debris in water inside constructed scupper drains. This method has helped in suppressing the breeding of this beetle. To further enhance and bring to almost total control the Oryctes breeding, sweet potato covers are planted on the top un-submerged layer of chipped palms and debris. The sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is a herbaceous perennial vine bearing alternate heart-shaped or palmately lobed leaves and medium- sized sympetalous flowers. They are mostly propagated by stem or root cuttings. Keywords: Sweet potato, Oryctes, replanting, oil palm.

Published: April 2024

A field experiment was conducted intercropping sugarcane with onion at Rajshahi under High Ganges River Floodplain and Thakurgaon under Old Himalayan Piedmont plain of Bangladesh to determine the site-specific nutrient requirements of cane and intercrop, onion, and their economics under sugarcane based cropping system. Cane yield was enhanced when it was intercropped with onion because of the residual effect of fertiliser applied to the onion.. Gross return and gross margin were greater in cane intercropped with onion over sole crop. The treatment T5 that received fertilisers for sugarcane (N150P52K90S35Zn3 and N140P37K100S25Zn2 kg/ha) and onion (N52P21K50S15 and N50P20K50S15 kg/ha) as per Bangladesh Sugarcane Research Institute Recommendation’1998 at Rajshahi and Thakurgaon site, respectively showed higher gross margin and benefit cost ratio at both the locations under study.

Authors:   EPA Management Sdn Bhd, Chua Chin Kok , Ong Kim Pin , Abdullah Zainuriah
Published: April 2024

Five rat baiting treatments were studied by EPA Management Sdn Bhd three years ago. Seven-year-old oil palms in an estate in Kluang, Johore, were severely damaged by Rattus tiomanicus, resulting in severe crop loss. T4 (0.005 per cent flocoumafen) showed the highest palatability among the five types of baits at 3.23 baits per day followed by T3 (0.01 per cent difethialone) at 2.97 baits per day. Lethal feeding test showed that all five baits were effective against the rats, 100 per cent mortality was achieved within 6 to 11 days. Field application result showed that T3 (0.01 per cent difethialone) was the most effective rat bait in reducing the fresh damage percentage, 93 per cent of fresh damage reduction from 30 per cent fresh damage to 2 per cent fresh damage was observed after four rounds of baiting in this study. The palms with fresh damage for the non baited control (T6) remained high at 18 per cent. Generally, all baits at the tested rate were effective against the rat attack in oil palm plantation. Therefore, cost analysis will be the key in deciding which of these baits should be chosen. Keywords: Oil palm, Rattus tiomanicus, difethialone, flocoumafen, brodifacoum.
Competitive Testing of SPLAT-RB (Oryctes rhinoceros) Male Aggregation Pheromone -Mass Trapping in Oil Palm and Coconut Estates
Authors: Loring D A
Published: April 2024

The male aggregation pheromone of Oryctes rhinoceros has been used for more than ten years for monitoring and mass trapping this serious pest of oil and coconut palms. This study compared the efficacy of the Oryctalure membrane dispenser with a newly developed lure based on SPLAT (Specialised Pheromone and Lure Application Technology). The SPLAT-RB lure was found to be similar in attractiveness to the membrane lure in two separate studies. Test results for an oil palm estate in southern Thailand and two coconut palm estates in Vietnam are presented. Pheromone trapping as a cost effective best management practice for oil palm production is discussed. Keywords: Oryctes rhinoceros, trapping, SPLAT pheromone lure, oil palm, coconut.

Conceptualisation of Kurt Levin’s Field Theory in the Transactional Analysis Paradigm
Authors: Lebedeva Anastasiia B.
Published: April 2024

The development of personality psychology requires solving a number of methodological problems, one of which is the need to create a unified model of motivation behind the behavior of individuals. Thus, the ideas of Kurt Lewin have been becoming more and more popular these days, as he was the one who set himself the task of creating and proving the existence of the “Field Theory”, a unified theory of motivation that takes into account not only the internal factors behind behavior, but also the entire complexity of the sociocultural dynamics of reality that influences the individual in a moment. Within the framework of modern transactional analysis as a theory of personality, similar attempts are also made. This article aims to conceptualise the phenomenon of Kurt Lewin’s “field theory” in the paradigm of transactional analysis to describe the main theoretical approaches to understanding the phenomena included in the “field theory”, and compare these elements with selected psychological concepts of the school of transactional analysis. This study examines and compares such phenomena as: communication of charged systems and hidden ulterior transactions, personal life space and structural and functional models of the ego, existence within the field state and temporary symbiosis. This research paper also proposes an analogue of a psychotherapeutic plan based on the model of field change, constructed by Kurt Lewin. Understanding the field theory within the framework of selected TA concepts described in this article can allow transactional analysts to use the ideas of K. Lewin as a basis for developing and creating new theoretical models of motivation for individuals and groups.
Data Safety vs. App Privacy: Comparing the Usability of Android and iOS Privacy Labels

Privacy labels---standardized, compact representations of data collection and data use practices---are often presented as a solution to the shortcomings of privacy policies. Apple introduced mandatory privacy labels for apps in its App Store in December 2020; Google introduced mandatory labels for Android apps in July 2022. iOS app privacy labels have been evaluated and critiqued in prior work. In this work, we evaluated Android Data Safety Labels and explored how differences between the two label designs impact user comprehension and label utility. We conducted a between-subjects, semi-structured interview study with 12 Android users and 12 iOS users. While some users found Android Data Safety Labels informative and helpful, other users found them too vague. Compared to iOS App Privacy Labels, Android users found the distinction between data collection groups more intuitive and found explicit inclusion of omitted data collection groups more salient. However, some users expressed skepticism regarding elided information about collected data type categories. Most users missed critical information due to not expanding the accordion interface, and they were surprised by collection practices excluded from Android's definitions. Our findings also revealed that Android users generally appreciated information about security practices included in the labels, and iOS users wanted that information added.
