Published: November 2021

Objetivou-se descrever estratégias nutricionais para aumentar as propriedades nutracêuticas do leite, incluindo principalmente estratégias para o aumento nas concentrações de enterolactona (EL) e ácido linoleico conjugado (CLA). Os compostos EL e CLA, ambos produzidos endogenamente a partir de componentes da dieta, são compostos bioativos presente no leite e têm sido apontados como compostos nutracêuticos, capazes de melhorar a saúde humana através da prevenção e tratamento de doenças. Estratégias nutricionais aplicadas na alimentação de vacas leiteiras possibilitam o aumento da concentração destes compostos no leite, tornando possível a produção de leite com maior potencial de beneficiamento a saúde humana. A inclusão de fontes de lignanas vegetais, como por exemplo, o farelo de linhaça e a inclusão de fontes de sacarose na dieta de vacas leiteiras possibilitam aumentar a concentração de EL no leite. Da mesma forma, o fornecimento de fontes ricas de ácidos graxos polinsaturados, como por exemplo, os óleos vegetais, possibilita o aumento da concentração de CLA no leite. A temática da nutrição animal voltada para o aumento das propriedades nutracêuticas do leite, apesar de estar iniciando, apresenta grande perspectiva, e é uma ferramenta valiosa para promoção da associação do leite com benefícios a saúde humana.
Palavras-chave: nutracêutico; compostos bioativos; lignanas; vacas de leite; benefícios do leite; redução do risco de doenças.
 
Nutritional strategies to improve nutraceutical proprieties of milk: improvements on milk enterolactone and conjugated linoleic acid
 
ABSTRACT: This study aimed to describe nutritional strategies to increase milk nutraceutical properties, including mainly strategies to increase the concentrations of enterolactone (EL) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Enterolactone and CLA are endogenously produced from dietary components and have been identified as nutraceutical compounds with the potential of improving human health through the prevention and treatment of diseases. The concentration of these compounds in milk can be modulated through nutritional strategies which enable to produce milk with greater potential for improving human health. The inclusion of vegetable lignans sources, such as flaxseed meal and the inclusion of sucrose sources in the diet of dairy cows increase the concentration of EL in milk. Feeding sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as vegetable oils, results in increased concentration of CLA in milk. The application of animal nutrition to increase nutraceutical properties of milk is a valuable tool for promoting the association of milk with human health benefits and is of great interest.
Keywords: nutraceutical proprieties; bioactive compounds; lignans; dairy cows; health benefits of milk; disease risk reduction.
ON THE FINANCIAL ASSESSMENT OF THE NKR ELECTRICITY SYSTEM
Authors: Mikayelyan Yevgenya
Published: November 2021

The article aims to calculate the separate elements of the financial strategy of the NKR energy system and to carry out a factor analysis. Using the Kaufmann-Calibardi method, the coefficients of flexibility of electricity consumption by GDP were estimated, showing the causes of the shadow economy in the Artsakh Republic depending on the volume of electricity. Based on the annual statistics of electricity consumption and real GDP in the period of 2000-2019, the years were emphasized, as a result of which the fact that it is a calculated value of 1 substantiates the fact that the higher the electricity consumption, the higher the GDP should be, but obtained the results are not equal to 1 (greater than or less than 1), so the size of the shadow was calculated in those years.
Routine Measurements of Cardiac Parasympathetic and Sympathetic Nervous Systems assists in Primary and Secondary Risk Stratification and Management of Cardiovascular Clinic Patients
Authors: L. Murray Gary , Colombo Joseph
Published: November 2021

Objective: To review our studies of the ease and importance of parasympathetic and sympathetic (P&S) measures in managing cardiovascular patients. Background: The autonomic nervous system is responsible for the development or progression of hypertension (HTN), orthostasis, coronary disease (CAD), heart failure (CHF), and arrhythmias. Finally, new technology provides us with rapid, accurate P and S measures critically needed to manage these patients much more successfully. Methods: Using the ANX 3.0 autonomic monitor, P&S activity was recorded in 4 studies: 163 heart failure patients in total, mean follow-up (f/u) 12-24.5 months; 109 orthostasis patients, f/u 2.28 years (yr), and 483 patients with risk factors or known HTN, CAD, or CHF, f/u 4.92 yrs. All were on guideline-driven therapy. Results: Fifty-nine percent (59%) of CHF patients had dangerously high sympathovagal balance(SB) or cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN), and Ranolazine markedly improved 90% of these, improved left ventricular ejection fraction in 70% of patients on average 11.3 units, and reduced MACE (acute coronary syndromes, death, acute CHF, ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation[VT/VF]) 40%. Sixty-six-percent (66%) of orthostatic patients corrected with (r) alpha lipoic acid ([r]ALA); non-responders had the lowest S-tone. In the 483 patient study, SB>2.5 best predicted MACE when compared to nuclear stress and echocardiography (sensitivity 0.59, OR 7.03 [CI 4.59-10.78], specificity 0.83, positive predictive value 0.64, and negative predictive value 0.80).

Published: November 2021

Junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET) is a rare supraventricular tachycardia more frequently seen in pediatric patients which is associated with high morbidity and mortality without an adequate treatment. Its treatment often requires multiple drugs for arrhythmia control and, in some cases, a cryoablation is indicated. Some patients may revert to sinus rhythm spontaneously after long periods on antiarrhythmic drug. Currently, the arrhythmia prognosis has improved significantly since cryoablation development and the implementation of a more aggressive pharmacological treatment strategy. The purpose of this review is to describe the natural history of idiopathic JET and treatment advances.

The Effects of Childhood Trauma on Drug Use
Authors: Ranasinghe Leonard , Amarasinghe Geetha , Lash Amanda
Published: November 2021

Exposure to childhood physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect have been found to have a positive association with drug use. Various studies have demonstrated how individuals may turn to drugs as a form of coping. However, this is a negative form of coping, which can take a toll on one’s mental state and even impact families and society. Studies have reported that a higher number of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have a stronger association with substance use later in life [1,3]. Recent research has also demonstrated those who experienced childhood neglect also displayed anxiety or depression, which might suggest a reason for the connection between the negligence and drug use [14]. There is also research that shows that childhood maltreatment could influence one’s susceptibility to drugs and the structural remodeling of the brain [4]. Various types of drugs have been used in association with childhood trauma; however, no single drug was reported to have a greater association than the others. Substance abuse has been a rising issue over the years. With the understanding that childhood trauma could contribute to the onset of drug use, it is essential to gain a better knowledge of the specific types of substance abuse linked to childhood trauma. Future examination of this topic can help raise awareness and educate society on the effects of childhood trauma and how to prevent drug use associated with it.
Expanded Dengue Syndrome Presenting as Acute Pancreatitis
Authors: R Gomes Richmond
Published: November 2021

Dengue is a painful, debilitating mosquito-borne disease(female mosquitoes of the Aedes genus, principally Aedes aegypti)caused by any one of four closely related dengue viruses.It is endemic in tropical and subtropical continent. World health organization (WHO) currently estimates there may be 50 -100 million dengue infections worldwide every year with over 2.5 billion people at risk of dengue. Symptomatic dengue virus infection may manifests as undifferentiated fever, classical dengue fever (with or without unusual hemorrhages), and dengue hemorrhagic fever(with or without shock). Expanded dengue syndrome (EDS) was coined by WHO in the year 2012 to describe cases, which do not fall into either dengue shock syndrome or dengue hemorrhagic fever. The atypical manifestations noted in expanded dengue are multisystemic and multifaceted with organ involvement, such as liver, brain, heart, kidney, central/peripheral nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, lympho reticular system. Here we present a case of 35 years old female without any comorbidities who was serologically diagnosed with dengue developed severe upper abdominal pain on 2ndafebrile day and eventually diagnosed as acute pancreatitis both by raised serum lipase and ultrasonographic evidence of swollen pancreas. She was treated conservatively and improved. Thus, all clinicians should keep in mind the possibility of acute pancreatitis as a part of expanded dengue syndrome.

Published: November 2021

Objective: The main objectives of this research were to conduct and provide accurate and original findings related to the epidemiological study of nosocomial infections at three regional tertiary hospitals in Trinidad and Tobago. Specifically, the researcher determined; the frequency of nosocomial infections (NI), the frequency of multiple drug resistance among bacterial organisms associated with NI, infection control measures practiced at the research hospitals and the cost of such NI in terms of morbidity and mortality Synopsis: This study estimated the rate of nosocomial infections (NI) among patients at three major regional hospitals in Trinidad and Tobago and evaluated the frequency of pathogens associated with nosocomial infections. Approximately 450 of 126, 668 patients had nosocomial infections and the most frequent type of nosocomial pathogens were: Staphylococcus sp. (22.5%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa sp. (12.7%), Acinetobacter (11.8%) and Klebsiella sp. (11.6%). Methods: A one-year prospective cross-sectional study was carried out. The nosocomial pathogens were retrieved from the microbiology laboratory. Antimicrobial susceptibility test by the disk diffusion method were done on all bacterial isolates. Data was analysed using SPSS version 20.0. Results: This research revealed that 450 inpatients suffered nosocomial infections, with thirty (30) mortalities during the twelve (12) months that the study lasted (June 2013 to May 2014) at three regional hospitals of Trinidad and Tobago. The incidence of nosocomial infections was 5.8% and the nosocomial infection rate was 3.6 per 1000 (450/126,668). The highest rate (30.1%) was observed in the Intensive Care Unit (82/272 admissions). The most frequent type of nosocomial infection was Skin and Soft Tissue Infections 168 (37.3%). Staphylococcus sp. (22.5%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa sp. (12.7%), Acinetobacter (11.8%) and Klebsiella sp. (11.6%) were the most frequently occurring nosocomial pathogens. Conclusion: Consistency in performing good hygiene practices is vital for reducing the high nosocomial rate found at the research sites. Prediction of these infections is very important as a part of clinical surveillance programs to take preventive measures in advance. The antimicrobial susceptibility pattern rate (ASPR) showed that only 8.3 % (5/60) of the isolates were antibiotic-susceptible strains.

Authors: Lateef Fatimah , S H Sunny Chia , H B Alan Teo , Teck Choon Tan
Published: November 2021

With COVID 19, more than ever before, healthcare institutions are realizing the need to develop, implement, assess, review and revise their infection control policies and guidelines of practice. In many facilities, patients who are known to be or suspected to be infectious are physically isolated from other patients and people. This is the rightful and ethical thing to do. These patients are usually identified through surveillance or using clinical and/ or microbiological criteria. Whilst practices such as personal and hand hygiene, safe infection control practices, distancing and others are useful, the use of formal isolation in hospitals represent an important step. This is also essential to reduce spread to healthcare workers. In this paper, we describe a Negative Pressure Full Isolation Tent (NPFIT) which we tried out via simulation and the conduct of a simple smoke test to understand more on the concept of negative pressure and what it entails. It is our hope that readers will get a better understanding of this concept, through our simplified demonstration and trial.

Authors: M. Hamouda Ibrahim , Makke Alaa
Published: November 2021

Objectives: Effect and correlation of aluminum oxide powder on degree of conversion, residual monomer and flexural properties of heat-cured acrylic resin specimens were studied. Materials and methods: Heat-cured acrylic resin and aluminum oxide powders were used. Specimens of specific dimensions from unreinforced and reinforced acrylic resins using stainless steel plates were prepared. Degree of conversion was determined using FTIR Spectrometer. Released monomer was measured using isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography. Flexural strength was tested using three point-bending test. Results: Aluminum oxide reinforcement showed increased degree of conversion than that of the unreinforced specimens. Released monomer from reinforced specimens was lower than that of unreinforced specimens. Deflection at fracture of reinforced specimens was lower than that of unreinforced specimens. Flexural strength was increased by addition of 2.5 % and 5% aluminum oxide. There was a positive correlation between degree of conversion and flexural strength. There was a negative correlation between degree of conversion and monomer release. Conclusions: Aluminum oxide powder increased degree of conversion and flexural strength but reduced monomer release and deflection at fracture. There was a positive correlation between degree of conversion and flexural strength. There was a negative correlation between degree of conversion and monomer release. Clinical relevance: Aluminum oxide powder could reinforce the week acrylic resin denture base materials. Degree of monomer conversion during processing of acrylic resin denture base materials is very critical in determination of monomer release and mechanical properties of acrylic resin in service.
Review Article: The use of fenugreek supplementation in diabetes
Authors: Al Mosawi Aamir Jalal
Published: November 2021

Dietary health supplements have increasingly used in the prevention and treatment of chronic disorders. During the previous decades, fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seeds have been reported to have hypoglycemic and cholesterol lowering effects when used in type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, and in experimental diabetic animals. The aim of this paper is to review fenugreek research findings relevant to its use in diabetes. There is convincing research evidence suggesting that fenugreek can improve hyperglycemia and has a protective effective against diabetic complications through immunomodulatory, insulin stimulation, and antioxidant effects, enhancing adipocyte differentiation, inhibition of inflammation in adipose tissues, and preventing or lessening pancreatic and renal damage. Many of the beneficial effects of fenugreek in diabetes have been attributed to four bioactive components including diosgenin, 4-hydroxyisoleucine, furostanolic saponins, and the fiber in fenugreek.
A Complex Component of the Nervous System: Brachial Plexus
Authors: Sanzhar Nephthys , M Davis Erasyl , Siminoski M.K.
Published: November 2021

Brachial plexopathy is a type of peripheral neuropathy. Injuries to the brachial plexus can be classified according to their severity, ranging from neuropraxia, the mildest form, to axonotmesis and neurotmesis, the most severe forms. The causes of brachial plexopathy include traumatic and non-traumatic injuries. Because the brachial plexus can sustain various types of injuries, different imaging modalities are required. Recent advances in diagnostic imaging have enabled better investigation of brachial plexopathy. This article reviews the major and most widely used imaging methods used for investigating brachial plexopathy along with newer modalities. The indications, advantages, and disadvantages of each modality are examined. The major factor in realizing the full potential of any imaging method is the knowledge of the requesting physician about the capabilities and limitations of each method. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the standard imaging modality for evaluating non-traumatic injury to the brachial plexus; however, there are several limitations to its use and, therefore, other modalities should be pursued. MR myelography should be used for traumatic meningoceles and root avulsions. MR neurography is a relatively new technique with massive potential. It is a tissue-specific modality with the ability to elicit morphological as well as pathological features of nerves. CT myelography is the gold standard for evaluating traumatic injury of the brachial plexus. Other potential uses are with tumors of the brachial plexus as well as obstetric brachial plexus palsies. Finally, sonography is addressed. With its ability to detect almost all plexopathies and the fact that it does not employ radiation and can be done in virtually every patient, it should be the baseline or, at least, the screening method for plexopathies.
PREVALENCE OF PERIODONTAL DISEASES IN PATIENTS WITH GOUT
Authors: Gnid M.R.
Published: November 2021

Gout is a systemic disease characterized by an inflammatory reaction at the sites of deposition of sodium monourate crystals in individuals with hyperuricemia and is caused by external factors and (or) genetic factors. Patients with gout often have comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease (including hypertension), diabetes and chronic kidney disease, and dental disease. In the professional literature there are almost no studies of periodontal tissues in patients with gout. The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence of periodontal disease in patients with gout. The participants were divided into 2 groups: the main one included 150 patients with gout, and the comparative one included 80 people without rheumatic pathology. The age of the subjects ranged from 30 to 50 years or more. The clinical examination was performed according to a standard scheme, which included history taking and analysis of patient’s complaints. According to the results obtained, the patients with gout showed a significantly higher prevalence of periodontal disease in all age groups, compared with individuals with rheumatic pathology. A high percentage of periodontal pathology was observed in the young participants of the main group. The larges share in the structure of periodontal diseases among the patients with gout was represented by advanced generalized periodontitis class I and II, and parodontosis, while the individuals without rheumatic pathology demonstrated a higher percentage of initial stages of periodontal disease. With age, both groups demonstrated the increase in the prevalence of periodontal disease, but in patients with gout, this process was more intense. It can be concluded that systemic disorders associated with gout, among which chronic autoimmune inflammation, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction and a high risk of atherosclerosis are very common, can be regarded as predictors of both rapid progression and aggravation of destructive inflammatory lesions of the periodontium.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: Globally, there is a dramatic rise in cesarean section rate which has increased the maternal morbidity and adverse effects in a subsequent pregnancy. Robson’s classification will aid in the optimization of the cesarean section use, assessment of the strategies aimed to decrease the cesarean section rate and thus improve the clinical practices and quality of care in various health care facilities. The main aim of this study is to find out the prevalence of caesarean section for Robson’s group 2 among total caesarean sections done in a tertiary care hospital.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out at a tertiary care centre in Nepal from August 2020 to January 2021. Ethical approval was taken from the institutional review committee (reference number: 1607202003) and data were entered using Robson’s criteria. The convenient sampling technique was used. Data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and percentage for binary data.
Results: According to Robson’s group 10 classification, among 380 caesarean sections, 110 (28.94%) (24.38-33.50 at 95% Confidence Interval) cases were in Robson’s group number 2.
Conclusions: This study showed that the prevalence of caesarean section which lies in Robson’s group 2 in our study is higher than the standard of World Health Organization. It showed that Robson’s group 2 was one of the significant contributors to the greater caesarean section rate. Improved case selection, standardization, and protocol for induction of labour as well as regular audit could also reduce caesarean section rates.

The cause of the low completeness of learning in accounting subjects is due to the inappropriate learning model used in the classroom and the lack of learning media which results in students being less interested in learning and it has implications for students' lack of understanding of the material and learning outcomes themselves. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using a collaborative learning-based learning model on the accounting learning outcomes of students in class XI IPS at SMA Negeri 5 Jambi City. This study used a quasi-experimental approach with a pretest-posttest control group comparision design. The subjects in this study were students of class XI IPS 5 as the experimental class and XI IPS 3 as the control class with the data analysis technique of learning outcomes using the t-test. So it can be concluded that the average accounting learning outcomes of class XI IPS students who are taught using a Collaborative Learning-based learning model is 75.33 higher than the average learning outcomes of class XI IPS students in accounting subjects taught conventionally is 62., 8. The results of the t-test showed that the coefficient tcount> ttable or 5.048> 2.039.
