Since the launch of mobility, the status of universities has changed significantly for the better, namely the quality of education has begun to increase, allowing to build up the capacity of graduates by studying foreign models, professional environment approaches competencies that will undoubtedly be in demand on the labor market. The current employers’ requirements for university graduates are very high, and only the presence of a systemic policy in universities for the development of various models of mobility will make it possible to comply with modern global trends. In the paper, the authors present the data of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2019–2020, reflecting the activities of universities in the field of mobility, the data of the Auezov South Kazakhstan University. In 2020–2022 the conditions for mobility have been changed under the influence of economic and political factors and COVID-19. Overall, universities in most countries have switched to hybrid forms of study. The results of field research are presented to identify the role of mobility and efficiency of competencies, as well as the development skills of students on the example of the Auezov University. According to the study, it was concluded that mobility is an important factor in the preparation of competitive specialists for the economy of Kazakhstan. Undoubtedly, it impacts and plays an important role in the formation of the University 4.
Human Capital in the Innovative Economy: Manufacturing Industry
Authors: Dinzhanova G. S. , Bayetova M. T.
Published: April 2022

Human capital is a crucial determinator of economic development because of the rapid pace of scientific and technological progress. The objective of the research is to define the state of human capital in manufacturing and to find the link between human capital and innovation. The correlation and regression analysis of the Human Capital Index designed and calculated by World Bank and Global Innovation Index was designed and calculated by WIPO of 127 countries in the year 2020. The second part of the analysis was the human capital in the manufacturing sector. The secondary data from the Bureau of National statistics were taken from the year 1991 to the year 2020. We analyzed the composition of workers by gender composition, gender pay gap, the number of bachelors graduated of technical major, aging, and education. HCI of Kazakhstan in 2020 is dropped; a possible reason for this is the COVID-19 pandemic’s side effect on the health and education of the population. The correlation between Global Innovation Index and Human Capital Index is 0,86. The 50% gender gap is revealed in the manufacturing sector employees, which shows an upward trend. Most workers in the manufacturing industry do not have a bachelor’s degree, which means that they perform hand labor rather than mental. Probably increasing the innovation used in the country may decrease the number of employees without proper education, while the productivity of the manufacturing sector will increase. However, we should consider that unemployment will increase either.

Published: April 2022

In the context of the continuous economic development of the Republic of Kazakhstan within the framework of the country’s popularized integration into the EAEU, increasing the level of digitalization in the context of science, technologies of state, and business management is becoming increasingly important. The article aims to consider the transformation of land policy management on the example of the Northern region of the Republic of Kazakhstan based on digitalization by assessing the effectiveness and availability of the Qoldau.kz service. In the course of writing the work, an author’s study was carried out using the Varimax method, aimed at determining the key factors characterizing the effectiveness of the Qoldau.kz service. The study results confirm the interconnection of critical aspects of the digital transformation of public administration in the context of the implementation of land policy in Northern Kazakhstan through the optimization of the Qoldau.kz service. The study results also determine the relationship between the low number of active users of the site and the complexity of its device, the need to have special practical skills, and the high cost of maintenance. To optimize the operation of the service in the context of land policy management, the authors proposes recommendations to simplify the process of obtaining a benefit, reduce the cost of service, minimize the corruption component in the allocation of subsidies, and the need to increase the popularity of the service among key recipients of services.

Published: April 2022

This article aims to analyze anti-corruption measures in the healthcare system during a pandemic. During this study, the problem of corruption was studied as a subject of interdisciplinary analytical discourse in the global and domestic expert space. Also, based on the results of the content analysis of critical analytical documents from leading international anti-corruption organizations, specific health problems during the pandemic, typical for all countries of the world, were identified. As a result of the analysis of international documents, Kazakhstani scientific and analytical articles, leading state initiatives of Kazakhstan in the field of reforming the country, key conclusions were drawn regarding the understanding of strategic ways of sustainable development through the introduction of an effective and efficient mechanism for adapting world standards to the Kazakhstani field of combating corruption in general and to the system public administration in the healthcare system in particular. The study was carried out based on a comparative analysis of expert assessments of corruption in the healthcare sector. To determine the adaptive effectiveness of applying the recommendations of the global anti-corruption expertise in Kazakhstani practices of combating corruption in the public health administration system, an empirical study of institutional aspects in anti-corruption international analytics was undertaken. This made it possible to see the significance of local features and systemic prerequisites that determine the success of anti-corruption actions in Kazakhstan. During the preparation of the article, the following sources were used: socio-economic expertise of Interpol; National Report on Combating Corruption; analytics from a global anti-corruption NGO.

Authors: Rakhmetova R. U. , Kaliyeva S. A.
Published: April 2022

This article examines the overall demographic development of Kazakhstan, including long-term trends in fertility and mortality. The study notes that the demographic development of the country in different regions is different, which, in turn, interferes with the demographic situation. This study used the method of SPSS analysis in computer technology using multivariate statistical and mathematical methods to group the regions of Kazakhstan into clusters according to six main indicators (total mortality, infant mortality, demographic load, proportion of triplets, nuptiality, frequency of abortions). As a result, the regions of Kazakhstan are divided into three clusters according to the process of demographic development. A comparative analysis of the demographic indicators of the regions in these three clusters and their intensity in comparison with the national level is carried out. According to the average indicator of 7 regions included in the first cluster, it was determined that they are in the direction of a regressive trend. The two largest cities of the second cluster - Nur-Sultan and Almaty - are based on a stationary process and progressive development of 8 regions of the third cluster. Cluster analysis revealed a high demographic potential in the third cluster region and depopulation in other cluster regions: Kostanay, North-East Kazakhstan regions, and Almaty. Therefore, when predicting future births and deaths, it is necessary to take into account the promising characteristics of each region and the trend of the system of indicators characterizing the current demographic situation, which determines the type of population growth in each region.

Authors: Darwish Ahmed , Frere Abdel-Fattah , Abdelsamie Magdy , Awady Waleed El , Gouda Mohammad
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND:

The no-reflow phenomenon is associated with a considerable reduction in myocardial salvage in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated by primary percutaneous intervention (PCI). There has been no head-to-head comparison of intra-coronary epinephrine to adenosine in the management of no-reflow phenomenon.

OBJECTIVES:

Evaluate the short- and long-term efficacy and safety of using intracoronary epinephrine versus adenosine for management of the catastrophic no-reflow phenomenon that may occur during primary PCI.

DESIGN:

Retrospective cohort.

SETTING:

Single center in Egypt.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

The study included STEMI patients who developed refractory no-reflow phenomenon during primary PCI after failure of conventional treatments and received either intracoronary epinephrine or adenosine.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:

No-reflow management measured through improvement of thrombolysis in myocardial infarction grade (TIMI flow), myocardial blush grade, TIMI frame count and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at 1-year follow up.

SAMPLE SIZE:

156 patients with refractory no-reflow phenomenon during primary PCI.

RESULTS:

Successful reperfusion was achieved in 74 of 81 (91.4%) of patients who received epinephrine and in 65 of 75 (86.7%) who received adenosine (
P
<.05). Fifty-six of 81 patients (69.1%) achieved TIMI III flow after epinephrine administration versus 39 of 75 patients (52.7%) in the adenosine group (
P
=.04). The incidence of heart failure after 1 year of follow up was lower in the epinephrine group compared to the adenosine group (6.3% vs. 19.2%,
P
<.017). MACE after 1 year of follow up was lower in patients who received epinephrine compared to those who received adenosine (11.3 % Vs. 26.7 %,
P
<.01).

CONCLUSION:

During primary PCI, intracoronary epinephrine is as effective as adenosine in successful management of refractory no-reflow phenomenon with a more favorable long-term prognosis compared to adenosine.

LIMITATIONS:

Retrospective design.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST:

None.

Abstract. The size-resolved physiochemical properties of aerosols
determine their atmospheric lifetime, cloud interactions and the deposition
rate on the human respiratory system; however most atmospheric composition
studies tend to evaluate these properties in bulk. This study investigated
size-resolved constituents of aerosols on mass and number basis, and their
droplet activation properties, by coupling a suite of online measurements
with an aerosol aerodynamic classifier (AAC) based on aerodynamic diameter
(Da) in Pinggu, a suburb of Beijing. While organic matter accounted for
a large fraction of mass, a higher contribution of particulate nitrate at
larger sizes (Da>300 nm) was found under polluted cases. By
considering the mixing state of refractory-black-carbon-containing particles
(rBCc) and composition-dependent densities, aerosols including rBCc were
confirmed to be nearly spherical at Da>300 nm. Importantly, the
number fraction of rBCc was found to increase with Da at all pollution
levels. The number fraction of refractory black carbon (rBC) is found to increase from ∼3 % at ∼90 nm to ∼15 % at ∼1000 nm, and this increasing rBC number fraction may be caused by the
coagulation during atmospheric ageing. The droplet activation diameter at a
water supersaturation of 0.2 % was 112±6 and 193±41 nm
for all particles with Da smaller than 1 µm (PM1) and
rBCc respectively. As high as 52±6 % of rBCc and 50±4 %
of all PM1 particles in number could be activated under heavy pollution
due to enlarged particle size, which could be predicted by applying the
volume mixing of substance hygroscopicity within rBCc. As rBCc contribute
to the quantity of aerosols at larger particle size, these thickly coated
rBCc may contribute to the radiation absorption significantly or act as an
important source of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). This size regime may
also exert important health effects due to their higher deposition rate.
Formaldehyde and glyoxal measurement deploying a selected ion flow tube mass spectrometer (SIFT-MS)
Authors: Zogka Antonia G. , Romanias Manolis N. , Thevenet Frederic
Published: April 2022

Abstract. Formaldehyde (FM) and glyoxal (GL) are important atmospheric species of indoor and outdoor environments. They are either directly emitted in the atmosphere, or they are formed through the oxidation of organic compounds by indoor and/or outdoor atmospheric oxidants. Despite their importance, the real-time monitoring of these compounds with soft ionization mass spectrometric techniques, e.g., proton transfer mass spectrometry (PTR-MS), remains problematic and is accompanied by low sensitivity. In this study, we evaluate the performance of a multi-ion selected ion flow tube mass spectrometer (SIFT-MS) to monitor in real-time atmospherically relevant concentrations of FM and GL under controlled experimental conditions. The SIFT-MS used is operated under standard conditions (SCs), as proposed by the supplier, and custom conditions (CCs) to achieve higher sensitivity. In the case of FM, SIFT-MS sensitivity is marginally impacted by relative humidity (RH), and the detection limits achieved are below 200 ppt (parts per trillion). Contrariwise, in the case of GL, a sharp decrease of instrument sensitivity is observed with increasing RH when the H3O+ ion is used. Nevertheless, the detection of GL, using NO+ precursor ion, is moderately impacted by moisture with an actual positive sensitivity response. Therefore, we recommend the use of the NO+ precursor for the reliable detection and quantitation of GL. This work evidences that SIFT-MS can be considered as an efficient tool to monitor the concentration of FM and GL in laboratory experiments, and potentially in indoor or outdoor environments, capable of identifying their primary emission or secondary formation through (photo)oxidation processes. Furthermore, SIFT-MS technology still allows great possibilities for sensitivity improvement and high potential for monitoring low proton transfer affinity compounds.
Simulation and field campaign evaluation of an optical particle counter on a fixed-wing UAV
Authors: Girdwood Joseph , Stanley Warren , Stopford Chris , Brus David
Published: April 2022

Abstract. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have great potential to be utilised as an airborne platform for measurement of atmospheric particulates and droplets. In particular, the spatio-temporal resolution of UAV measurements could be of use for the characterisation of aerosol, cloud, and radiation (ACR) interactions, which contribute to the largest uncertainty in the radiative forcing of climate change throughout the industrial era (Zelinka et al., 2014). UAV-instrument combinations must be extensively validated to ensure the data are repeatable and accurate. This paper presents an evaluation of a particular UAV-instrument combination: the FMI-Talon fixed-wing UAV and the UCASS open-path optical particle counter. The performance of the UCASS was previously evaluated on a multi-rotor airframe by Girdwood et al. (2020). However, fixed-wing measurements present certain advantages – namely endurance, platform stability, and maximum altitude. Airflow simulations were utilised to define limiting parameters on UAV sampling – that is, an angle of attack limit of 10∘ and a minimum airspeed of 20 m s−1 – which were then applied retroactively to field campaign data as rejection criteria. The field campaign involved an inter-comparison with reference instrumentation mounted on a research station, which the UAV flew past. Cloud droplets were considered the ideal validation particle; since the underlying Mie assumptions used to compute droplet radius were more valid, future work will focus on the instrument response to aerosol particles. The effective diameter measured by the UAV largely agreed within 2 µm. The droplet number concentration agreed within 15 % on all but five profiles. It was concluded that UCASS would benefit from a mechanical redesign to avoid calibration drifts, and UAV attitude variations during measurement should be kept to a minimum.

Published: April 2022

Abstract. Small uncrewed aircraft systems (sUxS) are now being routinely used not only for sampling atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) processes and land-atmosphere interactions but also have significant potential to improve weather forecasting at National Weather Service (NWS) Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs). In the present study, we used observations obtained from a Meteomatics Meteodrone SSE sUxS flown on 31 days between 20 August and 10 December 2020 near Oliver Springs, Tennessee, located 35 km northwest of Knoxville, Tennessee. We flew the sUxS up to 700 m above ground level, starting around sunrise and continuing every half hour until 3.5–4.0 hours past sunrise under synoptically quiescent, fair weather conditions. These datasets were provided in real time to the local NWS WFO in Morristown, Tennessee and used by forecasters there to assist with short-term operational forecasting needs. The sUxS profiles also provided finescale details on the early-morning transition over complex terrain and how this evolution varied during the late summer to winter period, which can be used to support the initialization of numerical weather prediction models.
Comparing rain-on-snow representation across different observational methods and a regional climate model
Authors: Vickers Hannah Ming Siu , Mooney Priscilla , Malnes Eirik , Lee Hanna
Published: April 2022

Abstract. Rain on snow events (ROS) have the potential to cause wide-ranging ecological and societal impacts. Current knowledge and understanding of ROS and their future development are dependent on both observational and model datasets. However, different types of data provide insights into different aspects of ROS and carry limitations that may lead to contrasting results and conclusions, which need to be understood. This study examines the similarities and differences in ROS frequency over mainland Norway, estimated using a regional climate model (Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)), a remote sensing method (Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)), and a gridded observational method (seNorge). Similarities in the geographical occurrence of ROS were obtained from both the WRF model and seNorge, with highest ROS frequency located predominantly along the western and southern coastal regions from autumn through to early spring, but greater ROS activity in the WRF model over inland mountainous areas during late spring and summer. We found significant differences in the spatial occurrence of ROS detected using the remote sensing approach, with much fewer ROS occurrences along the western coast but many more events inland from late autumn through to spring. Ground observations indicated the WRF model has an average accuracy for ROS detection of > 80 % for the period studied due to a high rate of detection of non-ROS days and low rate of false positives. However, the WRF model also missed on average > 50 % of the ROS days detected in ground-based data. For the SAR datasets, both the correct detection and false detection of ROS days was greater, producing a lower overall accuracy of 50–60 %. On the other hand, the timing of wet snow occurrence detected by SAR agreed qualitatively well with the onset of ROS detected from ground-based data, but the overall duration of a ROS event was frequently overestimated by SAR due to the persistence of liquid water in the snowpack. The similarities and differences across modeling and observational datasets shown in our study suggests that cross data validation is necessary and there is a need to analyse data collected at a much greater number of sites and future studies should take this into account.
Water storage and potential hazard of moraine-dammed glacial lake in maritime glaciation region – A case study of Bienong Co

Published: April 2022

Abstract. The existence of glacial lakes in the Southeastern Tibetan Plateau (SETP) is a potential hazard to the downstream regions, as the failure of some lakes has potential to result in disastrous glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) events of high-magnitude. In the present study, we conducted a comprehensive investigation for Bienong Co, an end moraine-dammed glacial lake in SETP, including its area evolution analysis, basin morphology simulation, water volume estimation, possible outburst triggers analysis, and one- and two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulation. The results show that the area of Bienong Co was 1.15 ± 0.05 km2 in August 2020, which has remained generally stable over the past four decades. However, it exhibits the high risk of GLOFs due to its larger area, the steep and high moraine dam, the close distance to its mother glacier, and the surrounding steep slopes. The lake basin is relatively flat at bottom and steep on both flanks, and the slope near the glacier (16.5°) is steeper than that near the moraine dam (11.3°), with a maximum lake depth of ~181.04 m and a water volume of ~1.02 × 108 m3 in August 2020. Four scenarios of GLOFs based on different breach depths, breach widths and failure times were simulated using the hydrodynamic model of MIKE 11 and MIKE 21 to predict the potential impacts on downstream areas. An extreme-magnitude GLOF would have a catastrophic impact on the downstream region, with most of the settlements, all bridges and majority of Jiazhong Highway along the flow channel being completely submerged. However, in a low-magnitude GLOF, most settlements would be safe or partially inundated. It means that most of the residents in the flow channel of Bienong Co can avoid the damage caused by a low-magnitude GLOF (smaller breach depth of dam). Although three settlements in the downstream area are at risk of being completely submerged in a low-magnitude GLOF event, the flooding arrives late and people have enough time to escape. Finally, the maximum depths of glacial lakes with similar areas were compared for 16 glacial lakes with measured bathymetry data in the Himalayas and Bienong Co in SETP, according to the regional division of maritime and continental zones. The results show that glacial lakes located in maritime regions have larger depths than those in continental regions, and Bienong Co is the deepest glacial lake comparing others in the Himalayas. Therefore, a huge amount of water could be discharged by a potential GLOF event of Bienong Co, creating a serious hazard, which should be taken seriously in the future. Overall, this study of Bienong Co could provide a new understanding of the moraine-dammed glacial lakes in the SETP and a reference of GLOFs to the local government.

Tensions between digital inequalities and digital learning opportunities in Russian universities during the pandemic
Authors: Gladkova Anna , Ragnedda Massimo , Vartanova Elena
Published: April 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic had a huge impact upon all spheres of our life — social, economic, cultural, political, academic, and others. A shift to a new digital reality intensified already existing digital gaps and inequalities across societies and social groups within the countries and triggered a discussion about new forms of the digital divides in the pandemic and post-pandemic world. One of the areas that have been seriously affected by a shift to digital life is education. By looking at various educational platforms and tools used by Russian universities since lockdown in spring 2020, both for educational purposes and entrance admission routine, we discuss the challenges and new conflicts digital reality has brought to universities. At the same time, this study focuses on the advantages of this new reality for learning and educational processes. We argue that in the post-pandemic world new digital divides and new demands to university staff members and students have appeared, illustrating this argument with examples from Russia.

In arid and semi-arid areas, wastewater is often recovered for crop irrigation, contributing to the sustainable agriculture. Although positive effects have been observed on crop yields (50-80% growth) due to wastewater nutrients, the reuse of untreated wastewater harms both the environment and human health. Soil is mostly affected by excess salts, sodium, nutrients and heavy metals in wastewater. High salinity affects the upper layer of soil (0–30 cm); sodium and chlorine reduce crop yields by 40%; high content of organic matter in wastewater decreases soil pH, and heavy metals and pathogens enter the food chain. Irrigation technology is also important: sodium and salinity are higher in sprinkler than in furrow or subsurface irrigation; subsurface drip irrigation is more effective in reducing soil pathogens than surface drip irrigation. This paper examines the effects of wastewater irrigation on soil salinity, sodium, heavy metals and pathogen contamination.
Очерк этнокультурной истории низовий Сырдарьи во второй половине I тыс. до н.э.: поселения чирикрабатской культуры

Published: April 2022

В статье рассматривается один из основных аспектов культурогенеза – взаимоотношения культур оседлых земледельцев и скотоводов евразийских степей на примере памятников материальной культуры нижней Сырдарьи, территория которого была одной из контактных зон в Евразии. Основное внимание в публикации уделено Чирикрабатской археологической культуре, которая сформировалась на территории юго-западной части древней Сырдарьинской дельты не позднее рубежа IV–II вв. до н.э. Культура возникла на этой территории, безусловно, на местной основе, когда кочевые саки, заселявшие низовья Сырдарьи во второй трети I тыс. до н.э., переходят к оседлому земледельческо-скотоводческому способу ведения хозяйства, основанному на ирригационном земледелии. В ареале Чирикрабатской археологической культуры находятся различные по площади и планировке древние поселения и городища, краткое описание которых дано в статье. На основании сравнительного анализа всех этих памятников определяются характерные особенности того или иного типа поселений, что дает основание объективно выявить определенную иерархию внутри всего массива этих объектов, которая прослеживается даже на самом верхнем таксонометрическом уровне. Анализ всего корпуса известных в настоящее время артефактов дают основания предполагать, что во второй половине I тыс. до н.э. в низовьях Сырдарьи создаются все предпосылки для формирования здесь единой взаимосвязанной централизованной экономической системы с развитым ремесленным производством, базировавшейся на искусственном орошении.

Статья посвящена анализу керамики, происходящей из раскопок средневекового города Кастек, исследовавшегося в 2011–2020 гг. Жетысуской археологической экспедицией Института археологии им. А.Х. Маргулана под руководством А.А. Нуржанова (1957–2021). Керамика – главный источник по периодизации культурного слоя средневековых городов и поселений. Кроме того, производство керамических изделий в городах и его продукция определяют высокое мастерство ремесленного дела. Археологические исследования средневекового городища Кастек проводятся с 2011 г. За этот период опубликованы различные научные статьи, посвященные изучению тех или иных проблем, в том числе и вопросам, связанным с анализом керамики. Хорошая сохранность керамических изделий позволяет классифицировать коллекцию по видам, формам, способам производства. При изготовлении керамических изделий использовалось местное сырье с естественной добавкой (полевой шпат, кварц). Основная цель статьи – ввод в научный оборот керамических изделий, полученных в ходе раскопок 2018 г., а также анализ керамики средневекового городища Кастек, в том числе поиск аналогий в материалах синхронного круга памятников. Для достижения этой цели приводятся новые данные, анализируются изданные ранее публикации, обсуждается степень изученности материала. Керамику, полученную в полевом сезоне 2018 г., можно отнести к двум хронологическим этапам: VIII в. – начало X в.; X в. – начало XIII в.

В статье рассматриваются результаты полевых работ на кургане раннего железного века, исследованном в Актогайском районе Карагандинской области. Он имел незадернованную каменную насыпь, под которой зафиксировано захоронение ребенка возрастом 4–5 лет, уложенного на спине в вытянутом положении, сопровождавшееся каменными бусами, железным ножом, каменным оселком и золотой накладкой. На тасмолинскую культурную принадлежность раскопанного комплекса указывает, прежде всего, зооморфная накладка, на которой был изображен профиль кошачьего хищника, что характерно для скифо-сакского звериного стиля. В виду отсутствия более конкретных хронологических реперов исследованное захоронение следует датировать широкими рамками VIII–V вв. до н.э. Также вводятся в научный оборот результаты радиоуглеродного датирования погребений тасмолинской культуры курганов Борлы и Сенкибай–2, которые в определенной мере скорректировали предварительную датировку данных комплексов, основанную на методе типологических аналогий. Согласно новым данным, во-первых, материалы могильника Сенкибай–2 следует датировать IX – началом VIII в. до н.э.; во-вторых, захоронение кургана Борлы следует датировать несколько более широким временным диапазоном – середина VIII – середина VI в. до н.э.

The goal of this study was to look at the impact of work motivation, leadership style, and competence on job satisfaction, as well as the effects of work motivation, leadership style, and competence on performance, job satisfaction's impact on performance, and the impact of work motivation, leadership style, and competence on performance via job satisfaction. The research will take place at LLDIKTI-IX. The study's population and sample size were 125 employees (complete sampling). The data from the questionnaire was analyzed with the use of AMOS 18 and the Structural Equation Model. According to the findings, work motivation has a negative and significant impact on job satisfaction. Employee motivation in existence, connectedness, and growth is still low, but it is necessary to improve employee job satisfaction. Employee performance is influenced by competence in a positive but insignificant way. Employee competency is still a career development issue, with little attention paid to the role of innovation and technology in improving employee performance. Employee performance is influenced by competence through job satisfaction in a positive but insignificant way. Employee job satisfaction is poor in enhancing their performance since applying competencies that have been directed thus far is still like meeting work needs.

Background: Rotator cuff (RC) tendinopathy accounts for majority of shoulder conditions in adult patients resulting in shoulder pain and occupational disability. Recently injections around joint area typically including corticosteroid, local anaesthetic, opioid and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) have been used for treatment of such conditions. Aim: To compare the efficacy of ultrasound-guided injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and corticosteroids on clinical and functional assessment. Study design: Double blind randomize controlled trial Place and duration of study: Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, POF Hospital, Wah Cantt and Izzat Ali Shah Hospital Wah Cantt 1st January 2020 to 31st January 2021. Methodology: Sixty patients was tendinitis or partial tear of rotator cuff tendon, had pain for >3 months and >40 years old were enrolled. Patients were randomly divided into two groups; Group A patients were administered corticosteroid injections, the Depo-medrol 40mg and Group B patients were administered PRP injections. Results: The mean age was 55.9±4.3 years in group A while in group B mean age was 55.2±5.2 years. After treatment the mean VAS scores were 4.39±1.8 in group A and in group B was 3.27±1.5. In group A after treatment mean ROM was 28.34±4.6 and in group B mean ROM was 32.64±5.2 (P<0.001) considered significant. Conclusion: Corticosteroids use limitation of being contraindicated in few individuals and associated risk of tendon rupture. The use of PRP among patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy as results showed marked improvement in pain intensity and range of movements after PRP administration.
