Published: February 2022

In today’s world man finds himself exposed to the temptations of (This entire sentence is not objective, scientific terminology) (These crimes are not limited to TODAY’s world, the perpetrator is not always a man, and evil is not a scientific subject to be included in a scholarly paper, it is subjective to individual beliefs and laws). A movement should have been augmented to fight against these (do not use dramatic subjective terms) societal crimes, which forms a sort of mental purge for those so inclined to take advantage of their positions of trust. Child abuse has historically been a common offence against children without sufficient social and legal sanctions throughout the world. To deal with child sexual abuse cases while treating the victims, it’s necessary to assess the patient’s psychiatric health. The victims were examined after obtaining informed consent from the child or from their guardian. Results The patient’s psychiatric health was determined by the Hamilton Scale for depression and anxiety. The total number of cases was 52. Of the 52 cases 33 patients (i.e. 63.5 % of the cases) consented to undergo medical examination. 19 victims (36.5%) did not give their consent for their medical examination. The mean Hamilton A score for anxiety was 19.39 and mean Hamilton D score for depression was 28.81. Conclusions When the accused is known to the victim most cases are associated with severe or very severe degree of depression; and moderate or severe anxiety. After completing a detail study of the violations of minor girls it is concluded that it would be beneficial for the global society to take initiatives to minimize the incidence of such acts.

Published: February 2022

Suicide is a critical mental health problem, and during this COVID-19 pandemic, various mental health problems have arisen, leading to an increased tendency for suicides. It is difficult to believe if we lose someone due to suicide, especially if he/she is a popular figure in society, as it does not affect the family and friends of that person but also brings a sense of loss to the community. Copycat suicide is defined as duplication or copycat of another suicide that the person attempting suicide knows about either from the local knowledge or on account of depicting the original suicide on television and in other media.1 Werther effect defines as a popular term for an increase in suicide rates that follow media coverage of suicides or are inspired by reading about others suicides or are linked to a friend or family member who committed suicide.2 In June 2020, a renowned Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead, hanging from the ceiling fan at his house in Bandra, Mumbai, and the alleged manner of death was ruled to have been suicide.3 For around 3 months, all the media was covering this news. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of media coverage of this case (i.e., Werther effect) on the increase in the cases of suicides by hanging (i.e., Copycat suicides) in the rural areas of Himachal Pradesh. Out of 249 medico-legal autopsies in 2020 during the period from June 14 to December 31, there were 28 cases of hanging which constitutes 11.24%, and if we compare it with 2018 and 2019, there were a total of 278 and 253 cases during this period, and amongst these cases, only 13 and 15 cases respectively of hanging were reported which constitutes 4.67 and 5.14%. This study shows that there is about 2 times increase in hanging cases after the death of this renowned actor. In June 2020, just after his death, there is a drastic increase in hanging cases, constituting 24%. Male predominance is more than females as males constitute 75% of cases, which is more than the females, which constitute only 25% of cases. The age group of 21-30 years shows more predominance as compared to the other age groups.

University education is becoming more student-centered and personalized in recent years, whereas connections between professional skills and learning outcomes are recognized vaguely. The article proposes an approach to create relations between skills that students acquire in a higher education process and those required in various careers. The approach makes it possible to trace consistency between course material, educational programs, and professions. Thus, the implementation of skills and interdisciplinary connections allows to build the most relevant individual learning tracks for a specific career and provides students with valuable recommendations. The proposed approach is implemented in ITMO University’s (Russia) web service “Educational Program Maker,” initially designed for education process management. The system ensures the development of educational program elements, provides a platform for describing relations between educational entities, and enables users to choose a curriculum for a specific profession.

Published: February 2022

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have grown rapidly, becoming an integral part of today’s society and affecting how daily activities are conducted worldwide. They have transformed the education landscape and today’s classrooms have evolved from traditional blackboards to whiteboards and then to smart boards. The smart board technology (SBT) is considered one of the innovative teaching and learning technologies for different levels in education. However, the challenge is the low adoption of the SBT in teaching and learning environments by educators, particularly in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore factors affecting the adoption of smart board technology. Using an extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model, a quantitative, cross-sectional survey was utilised to gather data from 224 academics from a South African university. Findings revealed that the adoption of smart board technology at the university is low and smart board features are inadequately used. Additionally, results showed that social influence and attitude toward using technology were significantly the key factors affecting users’ intentions to adopt smart boards. Facilitating conditions had a very strong statistically significant effect on users’ behaviour to use smart boards.

Authors:   the Arab Open University, Kuwait Branch, Kuwait, Banna Sumayya A.
Published: February 2022

Before the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis, most academic institutions, i.e., schools, colleges, and universities in Kuwait utilized face-to-face settings, and hence, were based on only traditional methods of learning. Although many academic institutions have started employing blended learning, several institutions continue to stick with conventional procedures. The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 crisis has shaken the educational sector in Kuwait, and the Middle East and North Africa region by forcing instructors to shift to the online mode of teaching overnight to maintain their status. Many instructors hesitant of readjusting their conventional pedagogical approach have had no option except shifting solely to an online teaching environment. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to shed light on the challenges and highlight the success factors of e-learning and the online teaching approach during the COVID-19 crisis. This study also proposes some useful suggestions for professionals in higher education institutions, i.e., senior managers, leaders, and others, on dealing with the challenges associated with the online paradigm in the post-COVID-19 crisis time-period.

Published: February 2022

Background: Unexplained recurrent implantation failure is a devastating situation for both patients and the doctor treating them, with transfer of high grade euploid embryos this situation became more related to the endometrial receptivity and the interaction between the embryo and the endometrium. Till now the best way of detecting endometrial receptivity was through endometrial receptivity array of gene in endometrial tissue.Methods: A retrospective study was carried out in large IVF center in Abu Dhabi in period from 2017-2021. Patients included in the study were infertile patients with age limit of 43 years old with history of repeated IVF failure after multiple transfer trials of high grade embryos. All patients had ERA test then frozen embryo transfer of Euploid high grade embryos obtained through stimulated cycle of each patient according to Era test results.Results: 45 patients included in our study. Patients divided into 2 major groups according to Era test result. First group included patients with receptive endometrium. The second group was the patients with displaced window of implantation. Patients with receptive endometrium were 12 (26.7%) and the displaced window of implantation was found in 33 patients (73.3%). Higher pregnancy and cumulative pregnancy rate in the patients with displaced window of implantation more than the receptive group 19 (57.7%) versus 5 (41.6%) and 27 (81,8%) versus 6 (50%), but lower implantation rate in the displaced window of implantation group 6/12 (50%) versus 25/53 (47.2%) with higher miscarriage rate in the receptive group 2/6 (33.3%) versus 4/26 (14.8%), live birth and take home baby rate in the patients with displaced window of implantation 3 babies delivered to the receptive group 3/12 (25%), 24 babies to the group of displaced window of implantation 24/53 (45.3%).Conclusions: Patients with recurrent unexplained implantation failure may benefit from personalized embryo transfer after determining their window of implantations with endometrial receptivity array testing.

Authors: S. Nandini A. , Zacharias Mariet
Published: February 2022

Background: Wickham striae corresponds to fine white or gray lines or dots seen on the top of the papular rash and oral mucosal lesions of lichen planus. The documented types of Wickham’s striae dermoscopic patterns are linear, reticular, circular, globular, star-burst, radial and leaf-like. Aim was to study and describe the dermoscopic patterns of Wickham’s striae in lichen planus.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted between December 2019 to March 2020, among outpatients in the department of dermatology, venereology and leprosy in a tertiary care hospital. The lichen planus lesions including Wickham striae pattern were visualised with the dermatoscope (DermLite DL 4) and documented.

Results: The 20% had the circular pattern, 10% radial streaming, 4% leaf venation and 2% starry sky appearance. Other pattern observed were linear which was seen in 6% of the patients. They were seen associated with lesions over the lip. Vascular patterns were noted only in 20% of the patients with most of them having dotted patchy type of vessels.

Conclusions: With dermoscopy, the Wickham’s striae are the diagnostic key to differentiate lichen planus from other papulosquamous disorders. In our study we were able to see various patterns of Wickham’s striae including a less reported form like leaf venation.

Published: February 2022

In any patient, the skin to subarachnoid space depth varies significantly at completely different levels of the spinal cord and it additionally varies from patient to patient at the same vertebral level as per patient characteristics like age, sex and body mass index. An estimate of the skin to subarachnoid space depth has been shown to minimize the number of unsuccessful tries, consecutive attempts, traumatic or blood-filled lumbar punctures, typically acting as a depth guide for correct spinal needle placement. In this study we estimated the subarachnoid space depth using ultrasound, stocker’s formula and craig’s formula to determine which provided better correlation to the actual subarachnoid space depth. This study is a Prospective observational study done in the Department of Anaesthesiology, Saveetha Medical College and Hospital, Chennai from August 2020 to February 2021.This study concluded that Ultrasound guided measurement of subarachnoid space depth provided better correlation with actual subarachnoid space depth compared to stocker’s and craig’s.

Authors: Mittimanj Kavya , Shenoy Manjula , Giri Pramod
Published: February 2022

: Minimally invasive arthroscopic shoulder surgery is the treatment of choice for conditions such as rotator cuff injury, arthritis, and tendonitis. The incidence of severe postoperative pain in shoulder arthroscopies is as high as 45%. The aim of this study was to compare post-operative pain management in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgeries with and without anatomical landmark guided suprascapular nerve block.

: A Retrospective observational study, data of 44 patients who underwent arthroscopic surgery. Out of the 44 patients, 22 patients had received blind suprascapular nerve block and the other 22 patients didn’t receive block. Pain scores (NRS), rescue analgesia for breakthrough pain, and the total fentanyl consumption were recorded for both the groups.

: The NRS value between GA+SSNB and GA only groups was statistically significant in immediate (0 hour) postoperative period only (p=0.048). There was no significant difference between the two groups at 1, 4, 8 and 12 hours. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of amount of fentanyl consumption over 12 hours (p=0.916) and number of demand doses of fentanyl (p=0.605)

: Although the pain relief was better in the immediate postoperative period in patients who received SSNB, there was no difference in the pain over the first 24 hrs of the surgery. Post-operative fentanyl consumption was same in both the groups. We conclude that blind SSNB does not offer additional advantage in terms of pain relief in arthroscopic shoulder surgeries.

Published: February 2022

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) along with pain and shivering are frequently observed in patients recovering from surgery and general anesthesia.

To compare the efficacy of Ramosetron alone and in Combination with Dexamethasone in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries, with respect to nausea, vomiting , requirement of rescue analgesia and antiemetics, discharge time, and also side effects.

Current study was a prospective observational double-blind study conducted at a tertiary care hospital. A total of 60 ASA grade I and II patients of age group 20-50 years undergoing elective laparoscopic surgeries under general anesthesia with Body mass index between 18-25 were included in the study. Participants were divided by using a computer-generated random number table into two groups of 30 each with Group R and Group RD each consisting of 30 patients. Group R received 0.3 mg. of Ramosetron intravenous (IV) and group RD received both 0.3mg. P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. coGuide version V.1.0.3 was used for statistical analysis.

The mean duration of surgery in group R was 35.83 ± 6.44 minutes and 35.66 ± 6.26 minutes in group RD. The difference in the proportion of PONV scores between the study group was statistically not significant (P value 0.982). The rescue antiemetic was used in 5 (16.67%) patients in group R and in 2(6.67%) patients in group RD.

Combination therapy of Ramosetron with dexamethasone had better efficacy than Ramosetron alone in reducing PONV on patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries.
Comparative study of bupivacaine-lignocaine to bupivacaine-lignocaine-dexamethasone in providing postoperative analgesia in interscalene block for shoulder arthroscopy
Authors: Rajappan Mili , Parveen S Isha
Published: February 2022

Interscalene brachial plexus block has gained prominence nowadays and has benefits of lesser intraoperative anaesthetic use, lesser analgesic requirement and lesser incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting. Adjuvants are added to local anaesthetics for prolonging postoperative analgesia with interscalene block. Among the adjuvants, dexamethasone has been used extensively in past decade in neuraxial and peripheral nerve blocks. The aim of the study was to compare the duration of postoperative analgesia with lignocaine- bupivacaine combination and dexamethasone added to lignocaine - bupivacaine in interscalene block for shoulder arthroscopy.

In this comparative study, 48 patients of ASA grade I and II were selected and divided into 2 groups of 24 each. After obtaining informed written consent, general anaesthesia was given to patients satisfying inclusion criteria and ultrasound guided interscalene block was performed. Time of demand for additional analgesic supplementation by the patient were noted. Hemodynamic and respiratory monitoring were done to assess any side effects and complications.

Duration of analgesia was prolonged in group II (10.33±1.45 hours) i.e in lignocaine-bupivacaine-dexamethasone group than Group I(7.17±0.87 hours) i.e in lignocaine-bupivacaine group with p value less than 0.001. There were no significant differences between the two groups in secondary outcomesbased on hemodynamic parameters.

Dexamethasone at a dose of 8 mg in addition to lignocaine-bupivacaine, given perineurally in interscalene block provided better quality of block and prolonged duration of analgesia by almost 3 hours, without any significant changes in hemodynamic parameters. There were no major adverse effects noted.

Published: February 2022

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has caused significant alterations in our traditional healthcare system. The use of technologies such as telemedicine has seen a rapid upsurge. Though the benefits of telemedicine are well-documented; its use in anaesthesia is still in the nascent stage. Various authors have successfully demonstrated its application in perioperative anaesthesia and chronic pain. The ongoing pandemic has highlighted the importance of its more widespread use in anaesthesia. The establishment of clear guidelines addressing telemedicine and its legal and ethical concerns by many countries should provide a further impetus to its more frequent adoption. This article aims to review the existing literature about the use of telemedicine in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative phases of anaesthesia as well as in chronic pain and academics. As the pandemic abates, it presents a unique opportunity to expand the application of telemedicine in the various spheres of anaesthesia and pain.

Secretory breast carcinoma (SBC) is a rare histologic type of indolent carcinoma breast, accounting for <0.5% of all breast cancers. It is characterized by intracellular or extracellular secretion and granular eosinophilic cytoplasm of the neoplastic cells. A 46-year-old woman presenting with palpable breast lump, was diagnosed as Secretory carcinoma following imaging and preoperative core-needle biopsy. Patient underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy, followed by breast conserving surgery. The diagnosis was further confirmed on histopathology and Immunohistochemistry (IHC) with weak ER positive and EGFR positive tumour showing no expression of PR, Her2neu and CK5/6. Secretory carcinoma is a rare and special type of invasive breast carcinoma, with a wide age range and good prognosis. Inclusion of both basal markers (CK5/6,EGFR) on IHC and cytogenetic analysis are crucial for confirmation of SBC.

Reimagining Imagia. Neurocognitive Theory of Image Revisited With the Consciousness Studies Perspective
Authors: Wierzchoń Michał
Published: February 2022

Imagia. Towards a neurocognitive theory of image (Francuz, 2013) defines art perception as a synthesis between acts of perception and visual imagination limited by attentional constraints. The majority of empirical evidence the author referred to in the book focuses on visual processing, attention, and aesthetic judgements. Nevertheless, other mechanisms involved in the subjective experience formation undoubtedly also plays a role in the perception of art. Thus, it seems worth complementing the fundaments of the neurocognitive theory of image with consciousness literature. The research in this domain often reminds us that we see much more than is presented. Our conscious perception is modified, extended, and enriched due to multiple mechanisms, such as prediction, integration, or learning. Here, I review selected examples of work from the consciousness literature to illustrate this claim. Furthermore, I discuss this work in the context of art perception. Finally, I reconstruct the model proposed by Francuz and offer its extension that accounts for the aspects covered by the original work and those addressed in this paper.

Agriculture is one of the major sectors affected by climate change, and farmers are having to adapt rapidly to overcome the risks. However, farmers face many struggles because of lack of awareness and experience of new methods. Understanding farmers’ constraints and adaptation strategies is very important for the implementation of adequate policies for agricultural and food security. Hence, this research aims to investigate the consequences faced by farmers due to livelihood diversification and suggestions to overcome. Data were collected from 240 respondents in Tamil Nadu, India by a thorough survey method with the help of a pretested, well-structured interview schedule. Percentage analysis is an appropriate method that gives answers to how many respondents give a particular response. The Garratt ranking technique was used to study the preferences and change in priority of consequences encountered by farmers–and the potential advantages–into numerical scores. The Z test was used to determine whether two population means are different with the same variance. Data analysis was done using SPSS software. The results show that the majority of farmers reported concerns regarding constraints such as lack of previous experience, poor family support, and involvement of risk factors. The survey reveals that Tamil Nadu farmers suggested the conducting of specific training, encouraging livestock management and providing subsidies for agricultural and allied enterprise development as strategies to overcome the constraints of livelihood diversification. The Z test results indicated that there is a difference between irrigated and nonirrigated farms with respect to farmers’ age, educational status, level of income, occupation, and awareness of climate change. The suggestions offered help policymakers develop suitable policies.

Possibilities for increasing efficiency of impedance spectral measurements are investigated. It is shown that for determination of linear electrochemical impedance a linearly changing input signal is preferable, and for the quantitative estimation of non-linearity of electrochemical impedance as an input signal it is expedient to use the cosine electric beats. The constructive diagrams of generators of such signals are offered.

The corrosion and electrochemical behavior of magnesium and the MA 21 magnesium-lithium alloys in solutions of moderately acidic phosphates with various additives was studied. The inhibiting effect of nitrate and fluoride ions on the anode dissolution of these objects was revealed. Features of the electrochemical dissolution of magnesium and the magnesium-lithium alloys in nitrate phosphate solutions with fluoride ions caused by their activation-passivation competition have been noted. Distinctive features of the electrochemical behavior of the magnesium-lithium alloys in comparison with pure magnesium in nitrate phosphate fluoride solutions due to their structural and phase specifics have been established.

Comparison of asymmetric current parameters influence on nickel-cadmium accumulators forming time is performed. According to the results of capacity forming of NKM-22 accumulators with thin pressed cadmium and metal-ceramic electrodes, the perspective of application of asymmetric current with parameters chosen during experiments and used in this paper is established. Waveforms giving the biggest increase of capacity comply with the most economical parameters defined om models during experiments. In particular, application of asymmetric current with such parameters for NKM-22 accumulators forming gave 11% increase of discharge capacity compared with direct current forming.

Comparison of influence of asymmetric current parameters on nickel-cadmium accumulators formation process time is carried out. According to the results of capacity formation of accumulators types NKPLHC-0,5 with thin extruded electrodes, we established good perspective for application of asymmetric current with parameters chosen during experiments and applied in this paper. Current waveform which gave the biggest capacity increase, has long charging impulse and short, with wide range, discharge impulse. In particular, application of asymmetric current with such parameters in the process of NKPLHC-0,5 accumulators formation resulted in increase of discharge capacity, compared with formation by direct current, by 16%.

COVID-19 is a multisystemic infectious disease that primarily affects the respiratory system. However, the involvement of extra-pulmonary systems has also been reported. We report a 25-year-old female patient who visited the emergency department with a four-day history of severe burning epigastric pain associated with vomiting. The patient was later diagnosed with severe acute pancreatitis with concomitant severe COVID-19 based on clinical, biochemical, and imaging findings. The patient was managed with antibiotics, anticoagulation, and ventilatory support. Despite aggressive treatment efforts, the patient sustained cardiac arrest in the setting of refractory hypoxemia and passed away on day three of her hospitalization.

Impact of Triclosan on Female and Male Reproductive System and Its Consequences on Fertility; A Literature Review
Authors: Maksymowicz Marcela , Ręka Gabriela , Machowiec Piotr , Piecewicz-Szczęsna Halina
Published: February 2022

Objective: Triclosan is an aromatic organic compound with antibacterial and fungicidal properties, most often used in soaps, toothpaste and other cosmetics. The study aimed to analyze the influence of triclosan on the female and male reproductive systems and the consequences on fertility.
Materials and methods: A review of the latest literature derived from PubMed and Google Scholar platforms has been made. After following the search strategy, applying inclusion criteria and analysis of the obtained results assessed by two independent analysts, 45 studies were included in the review.
Results: Due to the similar structure of triclosan (TCS) to anthropogenic estrogens, TCS can interact with hormone receptors, affect hormone balance, and influence reproductive health and carcinogenesis. It has been noted that TCS might affect luteal cell progesterone production and disrupt ovarian function. Prenatal exposure to the chemical can have an impact on the reproductive system of newborns. TCS might be a risk factor for endometrial physiology and impair reproduction. TCS negatively affects the male reproductive system via interrupting steroidogenesis mediated miRNA (micro-ribonucleic acid) pathways. Negative effects of TCS on early development and embryogenesis in animals were evidenced. Moreover, TCS has the potential to promote carcinogenesis in human breast, ovarian, and prostate cells.
Conclusion: Potential impact of TCS on the reproductive system raises concern about its safety, due to its similar structure to anthropogenic estrogens and detection in the environment. TCS-induced disruption of hormone levels in the female and male reproductive systems may be the cause of impaired reproductive health, resulting in subfertility. Further investigations are required to evaluate the mechanisms and effect of TCS on human reproductive health.
