Analysis Of Particle Content In Kappaphyccus alvarezii Seaweed In The Waters Of Arakan Village Using Scan Electron Microscopy–Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX)
Authors: Tilaar Sandra , Wullur Stenly , Angkouw Esther
Published: December 2023

Kappaphycus alvarezii seaweed is widely cultivated in Indonesia and has important economic value. Nevertheless, this seaweed is easily attacked by diseases. This study was to determine the ice-ice triggers in seaweed farming locations. This research study was conducted at Arakan Village, South Minahasa, North Sulawesi. We performed the bacteria isolation on the infected thallus of Kappaphycus alvarezii and found Staphylococcus arlettae caused the infection. Staphylococcus aureus used to be found on the skin and mucous membranes of healthy humans, while  Staphylococcus epidermis inhabits only the skin of healthy humans. Approximately 30% of the normal healthy population was affected by Staphylococcus aureus as it asymptomatically colonizes human hosts. How this Staphylococcus arlettae (mainly found in pork farms) infected Kappaphycus alvarezii which is in a high salinity environment requires an in-depth study. We completed the experiment by using Scan Electron Microscopy–Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), analysis on infected thallus Kappaphycus alvarezii, and a series of bacteria isolation to observe the morphology and the element contents of Staphylococcus arlettae bacteria has successfully attached to the surface of Kappaphycus alvarezii and caused an infection.  This proves that environmental changes have stimulated pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus arlettae in the area where Kappaphycus alvarezii is cultivated. The mechanism of biosorption by microbes that can live in environments that are contaminated with Pb metal is active uptake. This mechanism occurs simultaneously in line with the consumption of metal ions for the growth of microorganisms. Staphylococcus arlettae are resistant to heavy metals due to the ability to detoxify the influence of heavy metals in the presence of protein or granular material. From the results of the study using SEM-EDX of algae and bacteria Staphylococcus arlettae, it can be concluded that the content of the particle of metal in thallus triggers bacteria to live on the seaweed as an energy source.

THE MOLECULAR AND CLINICAL INTERPLAY BETWEEN HELICOBACTER PYLORI INFECTION AND GASTRIC CARCINOGENESIS: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW
Authors: Adlekha Shashikant , Devendra Nagadharshan
Published: December 2023

Gastric cancer is a complex ailment characterized by numerous contributing factors, and it represents a
substantial contributor to mortality rates. The risk factors associated with this illness involve a
combination of environmental factors and factors that inuence the interaction between the host and pathogens. The
aforementioned elements exhibit complex interplay, hence augmenting the progression of stomach cancer. Gastric
adenocarcinomas can be classied into two separate forms: intestinal and diffuse. There exists a hypothesis suggesting a
potential causal relationship between the infection of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and the development of chronic active
gastritis, which in turn could contribute to the subsequent creation of intestinal-type adenocarcinoma The activation of
oncogenic pathways by CagA and peptidoglycan, which are delivered into the gastric epithelial cells during H. pylori infection,
is considered a signicant contributing factor to tumor growth. The application of antibiotics in the eradication of H. pylori has
the potential to reduce the incidence of precancerous lesions. However, this impact is predominantly found in the early stages of
stomach carcinogenesis. The acquisition of this knowledge has the potential to signicantly augment the efcacy of
preventative strategies and therapeutic therapies for stomach cancer. The present review offers a complete examination of the
existing literature about gastric cancers, with specic emphasis on the inuence of Helicobacter pylori infection. The
advancement of cancer is aided by the interactions that take place between the immune system of the host and
microorganisms.

Published: December 2023

Introduction: Vasomotor Rhinitis and Allergic Rhinitis are the common indications for intranasal therapy
of Azelastine along with Fluticasone (DUONASE). Regular follow-up is required during this therapy to
observe any side effects like cognition impairment, ear infections, etc. Aims: Safety prole evaluation on Rhinitis patients with
the use of DUONASE NS (Nasal Spray) Materials and Methods: We carried out a prospective observational study on
DUONASE users. DUONASE users were selected at ENT OPD after obtaining their prior consent. In our study, we screened 140
DUONASE users in various age groups. Statistical analysis used: We analyzed the data obtained from the study by using
Microsoft Ofce Excel 2019. Results: Out of 140 DUONASE users screened, the number of users without side effects was 100
(71.43%) while the users with side effects were 41 (29.2%). Of the 41 users with side effects, 20 were having headaches, 11 were
having coughs, and 09 were found to have dysgeusia. In the entire study, 44 users have a previous history of hyperacidity. None
of the users had somnolence. Conclusions: Most of duonase users have headaches and coughs as side effects. This indicates
that the users with headache and cough should be reassured of safety and the users with epistaxis should be followed up
frequently and should be educated regarding nasal hygiene.

Authors: Mishra Vishwadeep , Pandey Laxman , Arora Siddharth , Pandey Archana , Bisht Sudeep
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Radiotherapy plays a crucial role in the comprehensive treatment of breast cancer, aiding
in the eradication of microscopic tumor foci post-surgery. However, the inclusion of axillary nodes in
radiotherapy elds remains debated due to the risk of lymphedema. This study assesses the incidental dose received by
axillary regions during radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: Eighteen post-Modied Radical Mastectomy (MRM) patients
receiving adjuvant radiotherapy were retrospectively selected. Treatment elds were delineated following RTOG Breast
Cancer Atlas guidelines. Clinical Target Volume (CTV) included the chest wall and Supraclavicular lymph nodes (SCF).
Planning Target Volume (PTV) was created with a 5 mm margin. Treatment, delivered using 6 MV or 16 MV photons, consisted of
40 Gy over 15 fractions in 3 weeks. Mono-isocentric planning incorporated tangential and supraclavicular elds with subelds.
Axillary lymph nodes (levels I, II, III) were delineated for dose evaluation using Dose-Volume Histograms (DVH). Results: PTV
received 93.19% V95, 37.20 Gy D90, 38.47 Gy D95, 44.01 Gy Dmax, and 40.10 Gy Dmean. Axilla Level I, II, and III received 36.77
Gy, 36.31 Gy, and 16.60 Gy Dmean, respectively, with V90% of 75.11%, 60.10%, and 21.60% and V95% of 64.11%, 56.51%, and
19.16%. The combined mean dose for all axillary levels was 29.67 Gy. Conclusion: Axillary levels I and II receive substantial
incidental radiation through IMRT, potentially aiding regional control. Prospective studies are needed to weigh risks and
benets, allowing for individualized approaches based on patient needs and clinical scenarios.

Published: December 2023

Background: Nomophobia refers to a psychological condition in which people fear being disconnected
from their mobile phones. Nomophobia is connected with feelings of loneliness, low self-esteem, and
unhappiness, particularly among adolescents. Using mobile phones in an inappropriate way is very hazardous for school and
college students as it results in poor academic performance due to disturbance during classes or lectures, accidents due to poor
concentration while driving, and degraded social relations due to the preference for the mobile calling and avoiding nearby
people. To estimate the prevalence of Nomophobia and it's associated factors among school going ado Objective: lescents
attending coaching institute, Jaipur Observational cross-sectional study was conducted among 12 Material and Methods: 2
school going adolescents attending coaching institute of class 11th and 12th. Out of all student Results: s enrolled in study
everyone had Nomophobia; while only 19% had mild Nomophobia, most of the students had moderate (53%) to severe (28%)
Nomophobia. Our study nds moderate to severe Nomophobia in 81% of adolescents which is serious Conclusion: concern
specially for coming generation and workforce of country. Nomophobia is an alarming issue and it should be addressed on
priority basis. Regulations to use mobile phone in schools and at home should be done by teachers and parents, parental
control on mobile phone uses should be there for children.

Published: December 2023

Indigenous communities experience significant marginalisation and disadvantages, with common issues surrounding
their traditional food systems, food security, and overall welfare. Their traditional food wisdom plays a vital role in
improving their nutrition and health.Indigenous foods are acquired from the natural environment and form the cultural
food pattern of Indigenous People. India is blessed with a variety of indigenous foods that carry unique cultural
importance within local and ethnic groups.This traditional food knowledge encompasses unprocessed,small-scale,and
low-tech human-managed natural resource systems, characterised by short distances from farm to plate. Over the last
ten years, indigenous foods have gained international acclaim for their ability to enhance global food security and
biodiversity simultaneously.These systems are recognized for their high nutritional value and substantial potential to
advance overall health and nutrition. In this paper,we would like to focus the health and socio-cultural issues associated
with the use of fermented rice beverage by the Deoris.
INCIDENTAL DETECTION OF PROSTATE CANCER IN TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION OF PROSTATE (TURP) SPECIMENS: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY.
Authors: Kumari Neha , Zakaria Farhana , Khan Altaf , urahiman Mujeeb , Dsouza Nischih
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Transurethral Resection of Prostate (TURP) is a surgery commonly done for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
(BPH) which mainly targets the transitional zone of prostate gland.T1a and T1b prostate cancer are diagnosed at the time
of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for benign prostatic disease.Prior to the PSA era,up to 27% of prostate
cancers were detected incidentally at the time of TURP.With an increase in PSA screening,there has been a decrease in
pT1a and pT1b lesions.Methods: A 2-year retrospective analysis of TURP specimens collected between from January
2021 till December 2022 was conducted at the institute of Nephro-Urology Yenepoya Medical College Mangalore.TURP
specimens were examined and reported by pathologists. Results: A total of 250 patients belonging to the inclusion
criteria were studied.The incidence of occult adenocarcinoma prostate in the study group was 2%.Correlating the age
of the patients with the incidence of incidental adenocarcinoma prostate,it was observed that the age group 70 - 79 years
had the maximum incidence of incidental adenocarcinoma prostate (13.0%, P-value <0.001). The incidence of
adenocarcinoma prostate was found to be inversely proportional to the weight of resected gland, but this was not
statistically significant. Conclusion: Even if the preliminary diagnosis of BPH is made, processing of all the TURP
specimen especially those obtained from elderly patientsand evaluating pre-operative PSA level are important not to
miss any tumour.The age of the patient was a positive predictor for incidence of occult adenocarcinoma prostate.The
clinical grading of prostate by DRE however,had no correlation with incidence of occult adenocarcinoma prostate.

Authors: Yadav Ankita , Sharma Bhavna , Grover Seema , Sinha Madhu , Singh Shivangi
Published: December 2023

Gaucher disease is a rare lysosomal storage disorder with very few case reports from India. We intend to publish one
such rare case with the aim of highlighting the detailed diagnostic approach to make an early and correct diagnosis of
such a rare disorder. A three and a half year female presented to pediatric department with progressive abdominal
distension since nine months. On examination, she was found to have massive splenomegaly . Investigations revealed
bicytopenia. All relevant investigations were done step by step but the cause of splenomegaly was not evident . Bone
marrow aspirate clinched the diagnosis as it showed presence of characteristic Gaucher Cells. Further confirmation of
the diagnosis was done by biochemical level of glucocerebrosidase enzyme which was found to be extremely low.
Molecular genetic analysis was also found to be positive, confirming the diagnosis.Also, genetic mutation detected,
according to our case phenotype was rare. A step wise comprehensive approach to cases presenting with cytopenias
and splenomegaly is required in order not to miss such rare cases of storage disorders.

Published: December 2023

Background: Pregnancy induced hypertension is a sign of underlying pathology contributing to maternal and fetal
morbidity. Resolving and early intervention can lead to favourable outcomes. Objectives: The present study aims
towards analyzing association between platelet indices with severity of PIH. Materials & Methods: An analytical
comparative study was done on 80 pregnant women. 40 cases with clinically diagnosed PIH, 40 controls with normal
pregnancy. Data collected were analyzed using SSPS software using comparitive t-test. Results: On analyzing platelet
indices among both the groups, platelet disturibution width(PDW) with significant p-value of (<0.005) indicated as a
significant factor in concordance with raised blood pressure.However,other indices were significantly lowered but did
not show statistical significance on comparision. Conclusion:The study concluded PDW has significant correlation with
elevated blood pressure during pregnancy. Hence, it is a reliable quick indicator of PIH in order to predict its adverse
outcomes.
A STUDY TO ASSESS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF VIDEO ASSISTED TEACHING PROGRAM FOR ENHANCING KNOWLEDGE REGARDING ROAD SAFETY REGULATIONS AMONG THE HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL CHILDREN
Authors: Singh Prativa
Published: December 2023

Bacbackground Of The Study:-
According to WHO, 8 August 2016 Globally road traffic
injuries are the leading cause of death among young people
aged 15-19 years and second leading cause among 5-14year
olds.90% of world's road traffic fatalities occur in developing
countries. It is in this background that the UN General
Assembly has declared 2011 to 2020 as the "Decade of Action
for Road Safety” which seeks to halt the increasing trends in
road traffic deaths and injuries worldwide India has the
dubious distinction of the country with the highest number of
road accident fatalities Puducherry has the second highest
number of road accidents after Delhi among the union
territories while Tamil Nadu accounts for 14.5% of total road
accident cases in the country. Bringing about behavioral
change among young adults with regard to road safety
starting from their schooling years would go a long way in
bringing down morbidity and mortality due to road
accidents.The number of registered motor vehicles in India is
increasing by 12% each year and is projected to increase
from 112 million in 2010 to 500–600 million by 2014. The
increasing motorization is likely to have huge implications for
air quality, road traffic injuries and physical activity. Road
accident causes injuries, fatalities, disabilities and affects
children growth and development

Published: December 2023

The study aimed to evaluate the RSA in futsal athletes during Tabata protocol.Cross-sectional investigation,composed of
nine professional male futsal athletes,who were currently competing in the silver series of the state championship.Only
players who acted on the line (fixed, wings and pivots) were selected. Aerobic capacity was evaluated by intermittent
30:15 test and after 48 h, athletes were recruited to perform Tabata protocol of high intensity interval training, which
originally consists of eight sprints of 20s at 170% of the maximum vVO2,interspersed by 10s of passive recovery.In each
sprint, the rating of perceived exertion (RPE), speed and percentage of the maximum vVO2 were registered. The
reported RPE by the athletes significantly increased after each sprint performed,and all athletes finished with maximum
perception of effort.There were no significant differences in the RPE only between the four/five,five/six and seven/eight
sprints. In regard to running speed, only six-for-seven and seven-for-eight sprints showed no significant differences.
Another important data showed that five of the nine athletes evaluated managed to perform only the first sprint in the
intensity of the protocol,so final average of the percentage of the maximum vVO2 was 121.96 ± 9.32 %.Professional futsal
athletes were not able to perform Tabata training protocol at the intensity proposed by the authors (170% maximum
vVO2), as well as had significant loss in running speed and significant increases in RPE, with 100% of the players
reporting maximum effort at the end of the protocol.

Authors: S.P Rajanna. , N Rekha. , B. R Nidhi. , L Dwarakanath
Published: December 2023

Among the most common procedures performed by the gynecologist all over the world including India is Hysterectomy.
It is one of the most common elective surgeries in hysterectomy as operative modality. Factors influencing route of
hysterectomy include accessibility and size of uterus, extent of adnexal pathology, surgeon training and experience.
There are different routes of removal of uterus which is being used with abdominal hysterectomy is no doubt more
popular route than vaginal route. An advance in anaesthesia, availability of transfusion services and antibiotics has
made hysterectomy becoming the most common procedure in nonpregnancy related major surgical procedures. Many
literature supports that vaginal hysterectomy is the cost effective and safe procedure for the removal of uterus also most
regularly abdominal route is chosen. In this new era of minimally invasive surgery, a resurgence of interest and
importance of VH for non-descent indications i.e. non-decent vaginal hysterectomy (NDVH) as the scar less
hysterectomy has occurred as has many benefits over abdominal hysterectomy such as lesser post-operative morbidity,
cosmetic advantages, better and rapid recovery. The objectives of the study was to compare and assess factors like
operative duration of surgery, intra operative and post-operative complications, intra operative blood loss, postoperative requirement of analgesia , post-operative ambulating time and duration of post-operative hospital stay and to
put forward best route of hysterectomy in non- descent cases. Compared to all other routes vaginal hysterectomy yields
better outcome with less complications. The study was done on 50 cases fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Patients were
randomly segregated in two groups- abdominal hysterectomy and NDVH (non-decent vaginal hysterectomy). Intra
operative blood loss, Operative time and post-operative morbidity and hospital stay were less in NDVH groups. Nondecent vaginal hysterectomy is a better substitute to abdominal hysterectomy in cases with benign disorders of the
uterus, with good mobility and adequate vaginal access.
