Authors: Dewantiningrum Julian , Kristanto Herman , Pudjonarko Dwi , Mexitalia Maria , Ediati Annastasia , Soejoenoes Ariawan , Hadisaputro Suharyo
Published: July 2023

Purpose : Analyze the cut-off point of fetal growth based on the Intergrowth-21, World Health Organization (WHO), and Hadlock’s estimated fetal weight (EFW) in pregnant women with normal or deficient vitamin D levels to predict neonatal outcomes.
Method: This cross sectional study to develop a diagnostic test, included 120 of pregnant women who completed follow up until children aged 2 years, divided into normal and deficient vitamin D group. Ultrasound and maternal vitamin D level examined during the second trimester of pregnancy. EFW was calculated using Hadlock’s formula and plotted on the Intergrowth-21 and WHO curves. The reference standards were the neonatal outcome, LBW, stunting, and neurocognitive impairment. Significant odds ratio (OR) value and area under the curve (AUC) of 0.6 are used to determine the cut-off point to be used.
Result: Fetal growth curve was based on the WHO at the 5th percentile to predict LBW to have an AUC of 0.6 and OR of 6, 95% confidence interval (CI) of 1.36–26.45. The AUC for predicting LBW based on Intergrowth and Hadlock were 0.45 and OR not significant. As well as the AUC estimated stunting based on Hadlock, the Intergrowth-21 and the WHO fetal growth curves is <0.6 with OR not statistically significant. The AUC predicted neurocognitive impairment based on WHO’s chart was 0.6 but OR not statistically significant.
Conclusion: The WHO fetal growth curve can be used to predict LBW. The cut-off point of the fetal growth curve and which percentile is determined by the neonatal outcome.

Published: July 2023

Background: Cognitive decline is a common condition that occurs in the elderly. One of the early indicators of senility is a decrease in cognitive function. Folic acid is thought to protect the arteries from damage because of homocysteine by converting homocysteine into cysteine and then excreted in the urine. Increased levels of homocysteine can interfere with vascular function and cause toxic effects on neurons thereby increasing the risk of cognitive decline.
Objective: To determine the relationship between serum folic acid levels and cognitive function of the elderly.
Method: Analytical descriptive research with a cross-sectional approach. The research subjects were the elderly who met the inclusion criteria and did not have exclusion criteria. The research was conducted from May to July 2022 at the Pucang Gading Nursing Home, Semarang. Serum folic acid levels were examined using the ELISA (Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) method. Cognitive function was assessed using the Indonesian version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) simultaneously on the subject. Cognitive function is normal if the MoCA-INA value is ≥ 26 and it is said to be cognitive dysfunction if the MoCA-INA value is < 26. Data were analyzed using the Spearman test. Results are considered significant if the value of p <0.05. 
Result: There is a strong positive correlation between serum folic acid levels and cognitive function in the elderly (r=0.914, p<0.001). There is a relationship between educational level and cognitive function (r=0.922, p<0.001) where higher education correlates with increased cognitive function in the elderly.
Conclusion: There is a significant positive correlation between serum folic acid levels and cognitive function in the elderly

Authors: Widiarti Afrianti Wahyu , Kurniawati Dwi
Published: July 2023

Background: A decrease in skin elasticity is a problem often complained of, especially by women. Changes in some of the structure and elasticity of the skin occur with age as a result of reduced production of natural oils and skin collagen. There are several ways to increase skin elasticity, including by stimulating collagen. One of them is by using topical skin care such as using a moisturizer that suits skin type.
Aim: This study intends to determine the effect of effleurage in the application of moisturizer on skin elasticity.  
Method: The research design was a randomized controlled-trial with two groups pre and posttests conducted on 30 students of the Physiotherapy Department Surakarta randomly selected and divided into two groups. The treatment group applied moisturizer to the skin using the effleurage technique, while the control group applied only moisturizer. The groups were intervened for two weeks. Skin elasticity was measured using the EH-900U skin analysis system.
Result: The Pre-Posttests of group one’s skin elasticity with the Paired Samples T-Test yielded a p value = 0.013, which means that there is an effect of effleurage in applying moisturizer on skin elasticity. The Pre-Posttests of group two's skin elasticity with the Wilcoxon Test yielded a p value = 0.551, which means that there is no effect of topical moisturizer on skin elasticity. There were significant differences in the treatment and control groups
Conclusion: The application of moisturizer along with effleurage for skin elasticity is more robust than applying only topical moisturizer.

A Near Miss of a Retropharyngeal Abscess with MRSA in a 5-Week-Old Boy Due to an Unusual Presentation
Authors: Bastien Amanda J. , Liu Gene C. , Tang Dennis M. , Reddy Abhita , Itamura Kyohei , Green Jack , Soni Priya R.
Published: July 2023

A retropharyngeal abscess (RPA) in early childhood is not uncommon due to at-risk lymph nodes in this deep neck space and is typified by fever, odynophagia, and a constellation of respiratory manifestations. However, RPA is exceedingly rare in the neonatal subpopulation and not part of the usual differential diagnosis algorithm in this age range. Herein, we present a unique case of a previously healthy 5-week-old male infant with protracted “congestion” and difficulty in oral feeding, whose clinical course is confounded by intermittent, positional bradycardia and subsequent apnea. He was eventually diagnosed with a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) RPA, leading to concurrent vascular and airways compromise in the form of baroreceptor-mediated bradycardia from mass-effect carotid body compression. This clinical case is an important reminder that any infant with positional vital sign changes should prompt urgent and thorough investigation for extraordinary and otherwise uncommon pathophysiologic states. The case also highlights the power of multidisciplinary collaboration across multiple specialties and parental advocacy in unifying a diagnosis for rare pediatric illnesses.

Introduction: Impetigo is a common infection of the superficial layers of the epidermis that is highly contagious and usually originated by gram-positive bacteria, this disease manifests with the presence of erythematous plaques with a yellow crust, which may become itchy or painful. Diagnosis is usually based on signs and symptoms alone. Treatment involves topical and oral antibiotics and symptomatic care.
Objective: to detail current information related to impetigo, description, etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, evaluation, differential diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and complications.
Methodology: a total of 37 articles were analyzed in this review, including review and original articles, as well as clinical cases, of which 28 bibliographies were used because the other articles were not relevant to this study. The sources of information were PubMed, Google Scholar and Cochrane; the terms used to search for information in Spanish, Portuguese and English were: impetigo, cutaneous bacterial infection, S. aureus, streptococcal, bullous impetigo.
Results: Impetigo accounts for approximately 10% of skin complaints in the pediatric population and the main pathogens involved include Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. There are two common variants of impetigo: non-blistering (70%) and blistering (30%)Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus) is one of the most important bacterial causes of skin and soft tissue infections (STBI) worldwide. Impetigo is a non-life-threatening infection, but can lead to acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis.
Conclusions: Impetigo is a common disease in early life, especially in warm and humid climates. The infection can be blistering or non-blistering and is usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. The infection usually affects the face, but can occur anywhere else on the body with a laceration, abrasion, insect bite, or other trauma. History and physical examination are paramount for diagnosis, which is usually based on symptoms and clinical manifestations alone. Treatment strategies for impetigo differ, depending on whether the condition is localized or generalized, as well as resistance patterns to the causative agents and current guidelines. Topical antibiotics alone or in combination with systemic antibiotics are most frequently used for treatment. The prognosis is usually good and complications are rare.

Poor Sanitation Among Women: A Comprehensive Research to Address Women’s Inadequate Sanitation in a Sustainable Manner
Authors: - Mandeep Yadav , - Sukriti Sharma
Published: July 2023

Environmental, social, and health problems are frequent in the absence of sufficient sanitation infrastructure and become worse as it stagnates. Poor sanitation has a disproportionately negative impact on vulnerable people, particularly women. There is a health and social divide between men and women as a result of attitudes and ideas about gender and menstruation. When managing menstruation and exercising good hygiene, women face additional challenges. This article examines the social repercussions of the condition of sanitation and tales of women's experiences managing menstrual cycles in both rural and urban areas of India. On a personal level, young women don't understand menstruation. Young women encounter constraints on mobility and other activities during menstruation, as well as stigma surrounding menstruation and a lack of opportunities to discuss it. Young women in low- and middle-income nations typically face psychological, social, and health issues related to menstruation. It might be particularly challenging in nations where menstruation is stigmatized, like India. Nevertheless, even if education is crucial, knowledge on its own is probably insufficient. Interventions must also target societal practices that propagate stigma, shame, and silence surrounding menstruation that might cause internalized stigma about menses in young people. Overall, developing multilayered, culturally relevant interventions that prioritize wellbeing and comfort in addition to more conventional health, educational, and employment outcomes is necessary to support challenge free menstruation.

Assessing Word Frequency by Rating Method
Authors: - Manikanta Muruli
Published: July 2023

One of the major challenges faced by researchers in linguistics and psycholinguistics in India is the lack of corpora of linguistic information such as word frequency, letter frequency, phonological and phonetic data on sounds, and morphological data on words, etc, in Indian languages. When they do not get the stimulus material readily available in any corpus, researchers resort to preparing a stimulus set that meets the criteria for their specific study. This paper presents an attempt of preparing a list of words for an ongoing psycholinguistic study on lexical access in Kannada by a method of expert rating on selected words' frequency. A total of 60 Kannada words were selected as stimuli, and seven native Kannada experts rated them on frequency on a six-point scale. Descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation were used for data analysis. Results revealed that the selected Kannada words have high-frequency ratings with good inter-rater reliability.

Published: July 2023

Background: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in females, with high prevalence in developing countries, and the most common cause (99%) is the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). The global incidence of cervical cancer is increasing every year, with an incidence of 13.3 cases per 100,000 women and a mortality rate of 7.2 deaths per 100,000 women in 2020. There are various screening and diagnostic methods; however, the availability of any strong evidence on the most cost-effective method is limited. This review systematically analyzes the available screening and diagnostic methodologies for cervical cancer, sensitivity, specificity, and cost implications.

Methods and Analysis: Electronic databases like PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar will be systematically searched for relevant articles using medical subject headings (MeSH) terms. Eight reviewers (DL, SW, PP, AK, AR, MS, TK, NT) will independently assess titles and abstracts against the selection criteria during the first phase. Five reviewers will assess all full-text papers before the final decision is made. The studies will be selected based on the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selected systematic reviews will undergo a quality assessment using the PRISMA checklist and RCTs using CONSORT and CHEERS statements to examine economic evaluations. A narrative synthesis will be formulated from the studies based on two types of outcomes- Clinical and Economical. If sufficient data is available, a meta-analysis will be performed.

Conclusion: The results from this study may aid in identifying factors influencing test performance and have evidence of the cost-effectiveness of the screening and diagnostic tests for cervical cancer.

Prevalence of Syphilis among Pregnant Women attending antenatal care clinic, Udaipur, Southern Rajasthan
Authors: - Anju Jorwal , - Aditi Maurya , - Nisha Sharma
Published: July 2023

Background
Maternal syphilis is an important cause of adverse pregnancy outcome . Syphilis, caused by infection with Treponema pallidum, is a mucocutaneous sexually transmitted infection (STI) with high infectivity in the early stages. Untreated maternal syphilis is strongly associated with adverse birth outcomes including increased incidence of stillbirths, low birth weight and premature live births compared with uninfected women. The WHO recommends serological test for syphilis in pregnancy and treatment with injectable penicillin, including the partner, as a routine part of antenatal care. Ideally this screening should be done in the first trimester or at first antenatal visit and again early in the third trimester.
Method
A retrospective, quantitative study of hospital and laboratory records of all pregnant women booked at the RNT Medical college for antenatal care in a one-year period (1ST JULY 2021 to 30TH JUNE 2022) was carried out. Data were collected from department register maintained by authority. VDRL testing was done to screen the patient. Data were analysed.

Result : During the study period, 10194 antenatal clinic patients had VDRL screening out of which 27 were positive. The overall prevalence rate in this study was 0.26%
Conclusion
Universal screening of all pregnant women at first antenatal visit with a non-treponemal test should be used for screening for syphilis in pregnancy. Also considering prevalence of gestational syphilis in Udaipur region , policy translation is required at state and national level to scale up prevention, screening, and management of syphilis.

Published: July 2023

This research paper presents a comprehensive analysis of behavioural biases among traders operating in the equity, futures, and options segments of financial markets. The study aims to understand the psychological factors influencing trading decisions, risk perception, and trading strategies. By exploring the impact of behavioural biases on market efficiency and stability, this research contributes to the growing field of behavioural finance.
Using a mixed-method approach, the study collected data through surveys, interviews, and behavioural experiments from a diverse group of traders, including retail investors and institutional participants. The analysis focused on identifying common behavioural biases such as overconfidence, loss aversion, herding behaviour, anchoring, and the disposition effect.
The findings reveal that behavioural biases are prevalent among traders in all three segments. Overconfidence leads to excessive trading and underestimation of risks, while loss aversion influences risk aversion and reluctance to exit losing positions. Herding behaviour results in the formation of market bubbles and crashes, and anchoring affects traders' reliance on past information to make decisions. The disposition effect influences traders to hold onto losing positions longer than profitable ones.
The study also highlights the impact of behavioural biases on trading strategies and risk management practices. Traders tend to exhibit risk-seeking behaviour during periods of market euphoria and become risk-averse during times of uncertainty and volatility. Moreover, behavioural biases can lead to suboptimal portfolio allocation and performance outcomes.
The implications of these findings for market efficiency and stability are significant. Behavioural biases can contribute to market inefficiencies, distorted price patterns, and increased market volatility. As a result, market participants and regulators must address these biases to foster more informed decision-making and improve market outcomes.
To mitigate the impact of behavioural biases, the study recommends trader education programs focusing on behavioural finance principles and risk management techniques. Additionally, market regulators should implement measures to promote transparency and discourage excessive speculative trading.
In conclusion, this research underscores the importance of understanding behavioural biases in equity, futures, and options trading. By shedding light on the psychological drivers of trading behaviour, this study provides valuable insights for traders, financial institutions, and policymakers to enhance market efficiency and stability in the face of behavioural challenges.

The widespread use of digital technology in international commerce, economics, and the circulation of financial capital has greatly contributed to defining the features of globalisation in the 20th century. By the year 2008, direct financial and economic turnover had drastically decreased, and a new sort of flow, known as "digital globalisation," was beginning to develop. Both of these trends may be attributed to the global financial and economic crisis of 2008. These two trends were both observable at the same time. These endeavours have been propelled forward by the use of data science, technologies such as AI systems, cyber security, virtual reality, social media, and the digital tax system, as well as other technological advancements. Direct financial and economic turnover. Because the process of developing digital globalisation did not happen overnight, it is essential to understand the historical development of that process within the context of the many different industrial revolutions. Robots, artificial intelligence, large amounts of data, and cloud computing are just few of the technologies that play an essential part in these processes. This argues that contemporary globalisation is the product of new digital flows and an unstoppably developing phenomenon that will connect nations around similar interests, economics, and politics; and that, despite the problems, digitalization will still be able to encompass all regions of the world. In other words, globalisation is the result of new digital flows. In conclusion, the evidence that has been shown in this article suggests that contemporary globalisation is the result of new digital flows and a phenomenon that is unstoppably spreading and will unify states around comparable interests, economics, and politics.

The substantial influence of China's expeditious economic expansion and policies promoting trade liberalization on developing nations, specifically with regards to industrial employment and income, cannot be understated. This research investigates the impact of China's trade liberalization on the enhancement of industrial employment and incomes in the aforementioned countries.

The process of liberalizing China's trade policies, which commenced in the latter part of the 1970s, has resulted in a notable upswing in its export activities and a heightened level of interconnectedness with the international economic system. The process of integration has led to significant influxes of foreign direct investment (FDI) into China, as multinational corporations have endeavored to capitalize on its inexpensive labor force and expansive consumer base. Consequently, China has emerged as a prominent manufacturing center, resulting in the establishment of extensive global value chains.
Various emerging countries, with a particular focus on those situated in Asia, have experienced advantageous outcomes as a result of China's trade liberalization efforts. To begin with, the increased demand for raw materials and intermediate goods in China has generated novel export prospects for various countries, particularly in sectors such as agriculture, mining, and manufacturing. The aforementioned phenomenon has engendered a surge in industrial production and concurrently created avenues for employment, primarily benefiting individuals with limited skill sets.
