Published: April 2021

Introduction: Pregnancy is a state which requires more metabolic fuels. Changes in the hormonal levelsin pregnancy alter lipid profile also in pregnant women. Thyroid hormone abnormality without any historyof thyroid disease may lead to alteration of triglycerides, phospholipids, total cholesterol, and variouslipoproteins levels in pregnancy which increases the risk for CVS disease.Aim: The aim of the study is to find out the association among TSH and lipid profile in pregnant females.Materials and Methods: The observational study was conducted at Biochemistry Department, SBKSMedical Institute & Research Center, Piparia, Vadodara, Gujarat, India. 100 antenatal cases from wereenrolled after taking an informed consent. 50 pregnant women were in 2nd trimester and 50 pregnant womenwere in 3rd trimester. Blood samples were drawn to estimate lipid profile and TSH. Interpretation of data wasdone using Medcalc software.Results: The mean level of TSH was 1.71(1.26) in 2nd trimester pregnant females and 2.68(0.72) in 3rdtrimester pregnant females, difference between them was statistically significant. Significant negativecorrelation was found between TSH and total cholesterol in 3rd trimester pregnancy. There was a significantpositive correlation was seen between TSH and triglyceride and between TSH and VLDL in 3rd trimester.Conclusion: Significant increase in TSH level is found in 3rd trimester pregnant females compare to 2ndtrimester pregnant females.

Authors: Saumi Sinha  , Rakesh Kumar Sinha
Published: April 2021

Background: The most important focus of pulmonary physical therapy has been to improve pulmonaryfunction. Studies have indicated that body position affects pulmonary function. Pulmonary Function Testsare a group of tests that are routinely performed to objectively assess lung volumes and capacities and arecommonly performed in sitting position. However, positions other than sitting have to be considered incertain disease conditions when the patient may not be able to attain sitting posture. The result may provideobjective data regarding positions suitable for pulmonary function measurements.Methodology: A search to identify articles from the last five years from the period January 2015-January2020 was conducted using free access search engines Medline, Pubmed and Google Scholar. Search wasundertaken using both, key words and MeSH words for maximal retrieval of literature. Some older articlesrelevant to the topic were also included in this study.Conclusion: The effect of sitting and lying positions on pulmonary function tests vary across studypopulations which makes it difficult to establish an optimal position for performing pulmonary functiontests. However, supine lying position may be considered in those disease conditions where adopting a sittingposition may not be possible for the subject.

Although until now Indonesia still applies capital punishment, efforts to limit its application are still beingmade, including improving the procedures for its implementation. One way to ensure that the execution ofthe death penalty is still carried out with respect for life is to involve doctors in treatment and the executionof the death penalty. In addition, in the reform of Indonesian criminal law (Draft KUHP), a policy forpostponing death penalty has been formulated. Those sentenced to death are given the opportunity to improvethemselves for a certain time (10 years). If within the grace period the convict can show improvement inhimself, then the death penalty need not be carried out and replaced with deprivation of liberty.

Published: April 2021

Background: Hanging signifies an asphyxiation form which, by a noose or another constricting bandtightened by body weight, is secondary to compression or restriction of the neck structures. All hangings aresuicidal. Accidental and homicidal hangings are rare and uncommon.Objective: This research was performed on deaths attributed to neck strain related to hanging andstrangulation carried out for post-mortem analysis in the mortuary of Osmania General HospitalMethods: Detailed information regarding the deceased and the circumstances of the death were collectedfrom the police and relatives by a questionnaire. For certain situations, the detail was matched by an on-siteobservation or by photos of the incident location.Results: Knot was present in the right side of the neck in 97(48.5%) cases, over the left side of the neckin 62(31%) cases, and over the center of the occipital region in 41(20.5%) cases. In the present study, it isobserved that in 167(83.5%) cases, the level of ligature mark was above the thyroid cartilage, below thethyroid cartilage in 11(5.5%) cases, and overriding the thyroid cartilage in 22(11%) cases. parchmentizationwas present in 135(67.5%) cases and absent 65(32.5%) cases. The causes for these observations are theligature material type and the length of suspension which in the majority of cases are parchmentized. 169cases (84.5%) did not show any changes around the ligature mark, but in 31 cases (15.5%). Fracture of hyoidbone was seen in 3.5% of the cases and fracture of thyroid cartilage was seen in 4.5% of the casesConclusion: Our society has a great socio-economic burden due to the high incidence of suicidal hangingamong young adults particularly women. The private essence of hanging and convenient access to ligaturepoints and ligature supplies renders suicide avoidance challenging. Marital disappointment, organic diseaseissues, and dowry abuse are the primary reasons behind suicide hanging.
A Study Protocol on Effect of Postural Deviation on Functional Capacity in Patients with Chronic Respiratory Disease
Authors: Ruchita Rao Chilkapurwar  , Vaishnavi Yadav
Published: April 2021

Background: According to WHO Chronic respiratory diseases are diseases of the airways and lung.Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease , asthma, occupational lung diseases and pulmonary hypertensionare among the most severe. Chronic respiratory disease is generally divided among adults into obstructiveand restrictive conditions. Restrictive lung disorders are characterized by decreased volumes of the lung,either due to a lung parenchyma change or due to pleura, chest wall or neuromuscular apparatus disease.Unlike obstructive lung diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which exhibitnormal or elevated total lung capacity (TLC), restrictive diseases are correlated with a reduced (TLC). Thesepresenting symptoms of chronic respiratory disease results in the postural deviations. It mainly affect thecervical and lumbar region of the spine which include forward head posture, upper thoracic kyphosis whichoccurs due to continues use of accessory muscles of breathing.The functional capacity of the patients areassessed by performing the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) it is fairly easy for evaluating the status of cardiacand pulmonary diseases.Methoud/Design: The study is designed as observational and correlation study. The participants will beselected as per inclusion and exclusion criteria from AVBRH , sawangi Meghe for the study. The durationof the study will be 6 months. Study include evaluation of the posture with the help of kinect azure andevaluation of functional capacity using 6 MWT. Correlation of 6MWT,Vo2 peak with severity of the posturaldeviation.Discussion: This study details about effect of postural deviation on functional capacity in patients withchronic respiratory disease. Many studies have been done on assessment of the postural deviation in COPDpatients but there is scarcity of literature which focus on the other respiratory conditions also. Kinect azure isthe objective measure for assessment and gives the detail evaluation of posture. Since deviated posture putsextra load on musculoskeletal system which indirectly affects the functional capacity. So the this study aimsto observe degree of postural deviation and relate it to the functional capacity.

Background: Child abuse is a form of behavior that involves treating someone (child, under the age of18years) with cruelty or violence resulting in actual or potential harm to the child. It has no boundariesand may occur in any geography, culture, or in any socioeconomic strata. Many studies reveal that there isinadequate knowledge and awareness regarding child abuse recognition and reporting among health workers.Method: Most of the studies reported that trauma to head and facial region occurs in approximately 50%or more of physically abused children. Therefore Pediatric Dentist has major chance of witnessing thephysical abuse in clinical practice. On the same time they are not the authority to make diagnosis of childabuse & neglect, rather identify and report the suspected cases, so that a process for effective protection ofthe victimized children can be initiated. It is the responsibility of the child protection agency/commission toconfirm the crime and do the needful. Hence, the role of pediatric dentist in the identification and reportingof suspected child abuse is crucial. He is expected to practice 4R’s: Recognize, Refer (if any), Record andReportConclusion: Understanding the peculiar role of Pediatric Dentist in recognizing and reporting child abuseand neglect which ultimately contributes towards making better world for children.

Background: The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the area of Wuhan, China, hasevolved rapidly into a public health crisis. Despite having high standards of knowledge and practices, dentalpractitioners around the globe are in a state of anxiety or fear. Being on the list of high-risk professions,dentists are very much expected to develop stress due to the current pandemic situation indicating a need toevaluate the effect of COVID 19 on the psychological status of Indian dentists.Methodology: The data was collected through well-structured Google form from 500 dentists workingin Delhi NCR. The entire form had two components. The first part of the form collected the informationregarding the demographic profile of the dentists whereas the second part of questionnaire consisted ofpsychological evaluation using well established psychological scale DASS 21.Result: The results showed that 8% of Indian dentist showed signs of severe depression and 17% hadmoderate signs. 9% showed moderate and 13% showed mild anxiety. 8% showed severe stress and 24%had moderate signs of stress. Significant correlation was found between depression and anxiety with stress.Conclusion: Dentists are undergoing stress which in turn can have adverse effects on their physical andmental well-being in a long run. There is a need to evolve with the current COVID 19 pandemic andbrainstorming the ways to encourage the safer practice and decrease the levels of depression, anxiety andstress among dentist.

The prevalence of antibiotic resistance in Enterobacteriaceae has increased sharply in recent years. Extendedspectrum ß-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae include Escherichia coli has become especiallycommon. Although traditionally linked to risk factors such as prior hospitalization and antibiotic use, thesebacteria have become increasingly recognized in the community, especially as pathogens in urinary tractinfections (UTIs). In this study urine samples from 150pregnant women clinically diagnosed with UTIswere used for Gram staining, culture, API 20 E and singleplex PCR. Singleplex PCR was performed withprimers targeted to chuA and yjaA genes and anonymous DNA fragment TspE4C2 of E. coli. The positivesingleplex PCR products were identified by presence of 279 bp, 211 bp and 152 bp amplicons of chuA andyjaA genes and anonymous DNA fragment TspE4C2 for of E.coli. Conventional methods of Gram staining,culture and API 20E test showed positive result for E. coli in 35 (40%) out of 150 pregnant clinicallydiagnosed with urinary tract infection. PCR detected 24 (27.5%) out of the 35 (40%) samples that werepositive for E. coli. The majority of UTIs caused by spectrum ß-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceaeinclude E. coli was acquired in the community, so rapid, specific and sensitive molecular are urgently neededto better prevalence, prevent and treat these infections in Iraq

The current study included molecular identification of dermatophytes causing Tinea capitis in children inBasrah governorate, including T. Mentagrophytes&M. canis, using AP-PCR or RAPD –PCR polymerasechain reaction technique. By using EZ-10 Spin Column Fungal Genomic DNA Mini –Preps Kit used toextract DNA from dermatophytes fungi, where DNA was obtained from these two dermatophytes fungi.The DNA bands appeared clearly after the electrophoresis of the DNA extract showed the results of DNAamplification .The efficiency of the primeres used in the diagnosis of these two types of dermatophytes, called: randomprimeres OPAA11, OPAA17, OPU15, OPD18, was obtained by the positive results obtained when amplifiedusing these primeres.Used for both dermatophytes The results obtained by using OPAA17 showed successin DNA amplification - obtained from M.canis and T. Mentagrophytes, with six bands for M.canis. As forT. Mentagrophytes, the number of bands obtained was 13, and the amplification results obtained usingOPAA11 showed the efficiency of this primer.Five bands were obtained when used to amplify the DNA of the dermatophytes. While seven bands belongedto T. Mentagrophytes, The amplification results of OPU15 indicated that there were six bands for M.canis,while only one bande for T. Mentagrophytes showed the results of amplification using OPD18 used indiagnosis of dermatophytes to four bands for M.canis while the number of bands for T. Mentagrophytes hasten bands. This method for identifecation is fast and has a high diagnostic efficiency of dermatophytes, asthe diagnosis based on genetic characteristics is more accurate than resulting on phenotypic characteristics .
