Background: The incidence of nausea and vomiting following laparoscopic cholecystectomy is very high. 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor antagonists are drug of choice for prevention of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) because of their good efficacy and very few side effects in comparison to other antiemetics.
Aims and Objectives: This study was undertaken to compare the efficacy and safety of intravenous ramosetron 0.3 mg and ondansetron 8 mg for prevention of PONV in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia.
Materials and Methods: One hundred patients between 18 and 70 years of age with American Society of Anesthesiology Grade I and II scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly divided into two groups of 50 patients each. Group A patients were given injection ondansetron 8 mg and Group B patients were given injection ramosetron 0.3 mg approximately 5 min just before the induction of general anesthesia.
Results: Difference in Nausea, vomiting/retching, and PONV score assessed at 4, 8, 12, and 24 h interval postoperatively in both groups was found to be statistically insignificant (P>0.05). The severity of nausea was assessed by visual analogue scale at various time intervals and use of rescue antiemetics in both the groups were found statistically insignificant. Incidence of side effects was also comparable in both the groups.
Conclusion: Ramosetron and ondansetron are equally effective for prevention of PONV in patients who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia when used prophylactically. Both drugs are safe and have low incidence of side effects.
Role of Doppler ultrasonography of the splenoportal system in diagnosing early hepatic dysfunction in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients
Authors: Safeeq Ahmed Meeran S  , Nancy Dora S  , Barakath Nisha A
Published: October 2023

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has emerged as a global and national epidemic. This is due to a sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy food habits, obesity, and metabolic syndrome prevailing among young and middle-aged individuals. Clinical diagnosis of NAFLD is difficult as most of the patients are asymptomatic. NAFLD can be assessed using an imaging system. Ultrasonography is the most widely used first-line initial imaging modality of choice.
Aims and Objectives: To assess the role of Doppler ultrasonography of the splenoportal system in NAFLD patients.
Materials and Methods: It is a hospital-based single-center cross-sectional study that collects data on patients who meet the inclusion criteria. A diagnosis of NAFLD will be made based on clinical and ultrasound workup. Then, Doppler Ultrasonography examination of the abdomen of the selected patient was done and assessed for different parameters.
Results: It was observed that there was a significant decrease in portal vein velocity and its pulsatility index, a decrease in hepatic artery resistive index and pulsatility index, a reduction of hepatic vein phasicity, an increase in liver size and portal vein diameter with increasing severity of fatty liver. It is inferred that apart from assessing the hemodynamic changes in the portal circulation, we can also predict early portal hypertension and hepatic fibrosis.
Conclusion: Doppler ultrasonography of the splenoportal system can be used to predict early fibrosis, portal hypertension, and thus cirrhosis.

Published: October 2023

Background: Ethnopharmacological relevance: Derris brevipes (benth.) Baker is widely used as an anti-arthritic agent in traditional medicine.
Aims and Objectives: This study evaluated the anti-inflammatory activity of ethanolic extract of D. brevipes (EEDB) leaves, a member of the Leguminosae family in vitro and ex vivo.
Materials and Methods: The EEDB leaves of was screened for anti-inflammatory activities by protein denaturation analysis and proteinase inhibition analysis. Prednisolone was used as the standard. EEDB (at doses of 300 mg/kg and 600 mg/kg) was administered through the oral route. Ex vivo analysis was performed by estimating the expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in collagen (chicken sternal collagen)-induced arthritis (CIA) in Sprague–Dawley rats using the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction method. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance, followed by Dunnet’s multiple comparison tests.
Results: Prednisolone (100 mcg/mL) and EEDB (600 mcg/mL) showed percentage inhibition of 80.32% and 80.04%, respectively, in protein denaturation assay. Similarly, prednisolone (600 mcg/mL) and EEDB (600 mcg/mL) showed 66.03% and 56.69% inhibition in the proteinase activity. Synovial tissue TNF-α levels showed a significant decrease in EEDB-treated groups and prednisolone-treated group compared to CIA control rats.
Conclusion: From this study, it was concluded that the D. brevipes leaf extract possesses anti-inflammatory activity, which explains its beneficial role in rheumatoid arthritis.

Published: October 2023

Background: Due to their sedentary lifestyle, abnormal eating habits, and increased reading and technology use, our medical students are more likely to be obese.
Aims and Objectives: The objective of the study was to estimate the prevalence of overweight and obesity and its association with demographic characteristics, family history, and dietary habits in medical students of our tertiary care teaching institute.
Materials and Methods: This institutional-based cross-sectional study comprised 260 medical students from all professional years of the M.B.B.S. course. Weight and height of participating students were recorded. Participants were then categorized based on Asia-Pacific classification of BMI. A pre-designed, pre-tested, semi-structured questionnaire was utilized for obtaining demographic information, dietary habits, and family history of participant. Results were expressed in frequency and percentages, and the Chi-square test was applied to find out the association of dependent variables with overweight and obesity.
Results: The majority of study participants were between ages of 18 and 21 (47.69%), males (53.46%) and hostellers (96.15%). The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 22.31% and 23.18%, respectively. Overweight and obesity were significantly associated with a family history of overweight and obesity, eating out frequency, and with the frequency of consumption of fast food and snacks (P=0.001).
Conclusion: The prevalence of overweight and obesity among medical students was found to be high in our tertiary care teaching institute located in Central India. This study concludes that behavior change communication programs should be designed to encourage the adoption of healthy habits such as Ashtanga yoga, regular exercise, a balanced diet, and the avoidance of junk foods.

Published: October 2023

Background: Incidental gallbladder carcinoma (IGBC) refers to gallbladder cancer which is not suspected clinically or radiologically and is detected for the first time on histopathological examination (HPE).
Aims and Objectives: To find the incidence of IGBC and determine the pathological staging of IGBC accurately as it decides the mode of surgical intervention and thereby increases the quality of life.
Materials and Methods: Three years of retrospective study were done from January 2020 to December 2022 at Sheth L. G. General Hospital. Routine histopathological evaluation of 857 such gallbladder specimens was carried out. Fifteen IGBC cases were reported whose pathological staging was done according to American Joint Committee on Cancer and were further analyzed in terms of demographic status, grading, lymph node status, margins, perineural, and lymphovascular invasion.
Results: IGBC incidence was 1.75%. Out of 15 IGBC cases, 73% were females. Cholelithiasis was present in 86% of such cases. Gross inspection of all the IGBC-reported specimens revealed thickened gallbladder wall. All cases were adenocarcinoma – pancreaticobiliary type and the most common histologic grade reported was G2. Tumor cells invading the muscularis propria were observed in 7 cases (pT1b), and peri-muscular connective tissue in 7 cases (pT2). Tumor cells invading the serosa were seen in 1 case. (pT3).
Conclusion: It is crucial to correctly report the pathologic T stage which determines patient’s survival. The differentiation between pathologic stage pT1a and pT1b should be made cautiously, as this decides the surgical mode of intervention required for increasing the quality of life. In our study, we found the incidence of IGBC to be 1.75%. HPE of all routine cholecystectomy specimens is the gold standard for IGBC detection and is highly recommended irrespective of the radiological diagnosis or macroscopic findings.

Authors: Reddy Mamatha Chikkanarasimha  , Rajappa Nulenur Rashmi  , Venkataramaiah Vani Nitturu  , Bindu Nagaraj  , Nagaraja Swathi
Published: October 2023

Background: Pneumoperitoneum (PP) with carbon dioxide (CO2) induces hemodynamic response due to the release of catecholamines and vasopressin. Magnesium Sulfate (MgSo4) inhibits the release of these mediators and attenuates the hemodynamic responses to carbon dioxide PP.
Aims and Objectives: This study aimed to compare two different doses of intravenous Magnesium Sulfate on attenuating PP-related hemodynamic responses. We also evaluated recovery time, the time interval between administration of the reversal agent and extubation.
Materials and Methods: Seventy female patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries were randomized into two groups. Group I received 30 mg/kg of MgSo4 and Group II received 50 mg/kg of MgSo4 intravenous infusion prior to PP, respectively. Heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were measured at regular intervals. The secondary outcome, Train of four ratio (TOF%), at reversal and extubation was recorded. Recovery time was noted.
Results: Demographic data, HR, SBP, DBP, and MAP were comparable between groups I and II, with no clinical and statistical significance in the ‘P’ value. The mean TOF ratio (%) at reversal was lower in group II (58.47±5.40) versus group I (66.93±3.43), with a P<0.001. The mean TOF ratio (%) at extubation was lower in group II (93.70±2.39) versus group I (97.47±1.59), with a P<0.001. Recovery time in minutes was higher in group II (17.80±1.19) versus group I (13.87±0.67), with a P<0.001.
Conclusion: Magnesium Sulfate 30 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg intravenous infusions prior to CO2 PP showed comparable hemodynamics in laparoscopic gynecological surgery. However, Magnesium Sulfate 50 mg/kg resulted in prolonged recovery from non-depolarizing muscle relaxants, necessitating neuromuscular monitoring for safer use.

Authors: Diptimay Majumder  , Susanta Kumar Halder  , Swarup Datta  , Sruthi Naresh  , Soma Chakraborty  , Subrata Pahari
Published: October 2023

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a commonly performed surgery and stable intraoperative hemodynamic status is desirable during pneumoperitonium. Clonidine and dexmedetomidine (alpha-2 adrenergic agonist) were used in this study to attenuate the stress response of pneumoperitoneum because alpha-2 adrenergic agonists help in the attenuation of neuroendocrine and hemodynamic responses to surgery and anesthesia, due to its sympatholytic action.
Aims and Objectives: The aims and objectives of the study are to conduct a comparative evaluation of clonidine and dexmedetomidine as pre-anesthetic medication for the attenuation of hemodynamic changes during laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeries.
Materials and Methods: Eighty patients of either sex, aged 20–50 years, complying to the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-II, scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia were divided into two equal groups to receive either clonidine 1 mg/kg (Group-C, n=40) or dexmedetomidine 1 mg/kg (Group-D, n=40), both injected through intravenous route as 15 mL volume with normal saline. Heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, and SpO2 were measured before and after giving the study drugs, before and immediately after pneumoperitoneum, and then, at 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 min of pneumoperitoneum.
Results: Statistically significant difference was observed in heart rate in the dexmedetomidine group constantly since giving study drug, immediately after the creation of pneumoperitoneum, and then, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 min after pneumoperitoneum. Systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressures were found to be significantly lower in Group D (except after administering study drug), immediately after creating pneumoperitoneum, and 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 min after pneumoperitoneum.
Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine as pre-medication is more efficacious in attenuating hemodynamic stress responses in laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeries compared to clonidine as pre-medication.

Психолого-педагогічні особливості формування комунікативної культури майбутнього викладача вищої школи
Authors: Жуньдун Ван
Published: October 2023

У статті здійснено ґрунтовний аналіз проблеми формування комунікативної культури майбутніх викладачів вищої школи Аналіз наукової літератури дозволив зробити висновки, що вчені все більше зацікавлені у занепаді культури мовлення, що значною мірою пов’язано з тим, що освіта поступово перестає бути частиною культури. Викладач вищої школи – це людина, яка покликана прищепити в душах студентів повагу до рідної мови як основи думки, встановити авторитет рідної мови, розкрити її зв’язок з національною свідомістю. У цьому сенсі його роль дуже важлива, оскільки він завжди спілкується зі студентами, набуває лінгвістичних якостей, викладає різноманітні стилі, а його мовленнєва поведінка в цілому є зразковою. Професійна мовленнєва компетентність важлива для викладачів усіх рівнів, особливо вчителів закладів вищої освіти, де ця компетентність є особливо важливою. Для формування професійних навичок педагог має оволодіти технікою ораторського мистецтва.Зроблено висновок, що формування комунікативної культури майбутніх викладачів вищої школи, залежить від ступеню організації позааудиторної виховної діяльності у вищій школі. Аналіз наукової літератури з досліджуваної проблеми показало, що позааудиторна робота – це складний цілісний педагогічний процес становлення та розвитку особистості майбутнього педагога, що здійснюється на основі органічної єдності з процесом навчання та соціальним середовищем, враховуючи особистісні інтереси, уподобань студентів та соціального порядку суспільства, орієнтовані на розвиток діяльності, ініціативи, толерантності, взаємодії учнів на принципах співпраці та співтворчості.У статті розкрито структуру та значення поняття «комунікативна культура» як значущий показника професіоналізму майбутнього педагога, висвітлено компоненти, показники та рівні сформованості даного складного утворення, розглянуто можливості та формування позааудиторної роботи у вищій школі; з’ясовано та теоретично аргументовано комплекс педагогічних вимог утворення комунікативної культури студентів прийомами позааудиторної діяльності.
Здоров’язбережувальні технології під час воєнного стану в практичній підготовці майбутнього вчителя початкової школи
Authors: Себало Людмила , Рашковська Ілона
Published: October 2023

На основі результатів дослідження, проведеного серед здобувачів вищої освіти спеціальності 013 «Початкова освіта», у статті аналізується стан використання здоров’язбережувальних технологій в практичній підготовці майбутнього вчителя початкової школи під час воєнного стану. Здійснено спробу поєднання теоретичних понять здоров’язбережувальної спрямованості з метою їх взаємного підкріплення в практичній діяльності майбутнього вчителя початкової школи. Встановлено, що переважна більшість опитуваних (77%) є зацікавленими у власному здоров’язбереженні та у збереженні здоров’я своїх учнів.З’ясовано у дослідженні, які із здоров’язбережувальних технологій є найбільш актуальні та вживані у практичній діяльності студента та обґрунтовано їх використання, а саме різновиди арт-терапії: квілінг, мандалотерапія, казкотерапія; піскова терапія та участь у проєкті «Кімната терапії іграшкою».Підтверджено, що найбільшим потенціалом для успішного впровадження здоров’язбережувальних технологій в освітній процес НУШ є діяльність вчителя початкової школи зі здоров’язбереження, заснована на високому рівні відповідальності та сформованості власної здоров’язбережувальної компетентності особистості вчителя, що передбачає обґрунтовану позитивну оцінку реалій сьогодення, свідомого виконання громадянських обов’язків педагога та активної позиції адміністрації закладу освіти щодо створення здоров’язбережувального середовища в закладі освіти; співпраця вчителя з практичним психологом, який активно буде включений в роботу з дітьми та вчителями. Студентами під час освітнього процесу учням були запропоновані вправи, які використовують у стані постійного стресу та можуть давати позитивний результат при нормалізації психологічного стану особистості. В дослідженні виявлені фактори (зовнішні і внутрішні), що спричиняють ряд труднощів в роботі вчителя початкової школи під час війни, а в нашому дослідженні – студента. Сконцентрована увага на традиційних технологіях здоров’язбереження, що є найбільш вживаними та уникають питання застосування авторських здоров’язбережувальних технологій.

У статті розглядаються безпрецедентні проблеми сьогодення, які мотивують суспільство до запровадження та ефективного використання інноваційних технологій. Суспільство споживання створює різноманітні локаційні області з використанням нанотехнологій і медична освіта не залишається осторонь. Ефективний функціональний потенціал освітніх інституцій та їх модернізовані форми, сприяють активізації в складних сучасних умовах. Реалії сьогодення вимагають комплексного вирішення проблем. Інформаційне суспільство, яке змінило постіндустріальне, насичене інформаційними та комунікаційними технологіями, сприяє і вимагає модернізації педагогічних технологій. Епідемії, війни та інші глобалізаційні проблеми детермінують суттєві зміни в організації суспільства. Осторонь не залишився і інститут освіти. Зокрема саме гуманітарні дисципліни сприяють формуванню  емпіричних конотативів. Як зазначає, В. Загвязинський, нове у педагогіці – це не лише ідеї, підходи, методи, технології, які у таких поєднаннях ще не висувались або ще не використовувались, а й той комплекс елементів чи окремі елементи педагогічного процесу, які несуть у собі прогресивне начало, що дає змогу в ході зміни умов і ситуацій ефективно розв’язувати завдання виховання та освіти. Евристичний потенціал та можливості інформаційного суспільства першочергово переваги надають технологіям, знанням та комунікативним здібностям, медична освіта реагує на суспільні маркери першочергово. Завдяки перерахованим чинникам забезпечується продуктивність і конкурентоздатність індивіда в медичній галузі. В умовах інформаційного суспільства лікар сприймається як когнітивний, творчий і вільний суб’єкт, який самостійно визначає свій життєвий шлях. Саме такі потреби вимагають від майбутнього лікаря і суспільства вцілому нових параметрів мислення «критичного, креативного, яке активізує здібності, талант та професійні вміння, а також активності суб’єкта у ситуації вирішення екзистенціальних та соціальних проблем» (Зінченко Н. О., 2017: с. 20).

Authors: Khaietska Olha , Holovnia Оlena , Pavlyuk Tetiana , Osipova Larysa
Published: October 2023

Introduction. The war in Ukraine caused significant damage to the economy, but also provided many new opportunities, made adjustments to the paradigm of post-war economic development, in particular, in view of the need to rebuild industries and ensure the reliability of their operation in the future, the variability of logistics supply routes. The complexity of post-war reconstruction is aggravated by the fact that Ukraine must modernize the defense industry and, at the same time, reduce the country's budget deficit, which requires an increase in budget revenues. The radical changes necessary for this will require optimization of the sectoral structure of the country's economy.
Aim and tasks. The purpose of the study is to create a methodological approach to the sectoral optimization of the national economy in the post-war period and, for this, to develop a structural-mathematical model, determine priority areas of development of branches, and mechanisms of structural optimization of branch development.
Results. A methodological approach to sectoral optimization of the national economy in the post-war period was developed, in which a structural-mathematical model was implemented. To optimize the industry structure, the use of a "trigger" mechanism is proposed: when the stimulation of the development of individual projects in high-tech industries leads to the rapid development of adjacent sectors of the economy, The need for comprehensive use of intensive and extensive mechanisms of post-war economic restructuring is indicated due to the specifics of the development of industries, the significant industry differentiation of damages and losses, and the need for expenses for the transformation and restructuring of industries. A diversification approach with the selection of short-, medium-, and long-term industry strategies was proposed.
Conclusions. The developed mathematical model allows for the combination of sectoral optimization strategies of the economy and optimization coordination of sectoral strategies at the national level. An assessment of the costs of reconstruction and industry transformation was carried out, and the application of internal financing mechanisms, in particular, an increase in the level of added value, was substantiated. The mathematical model illustrates the possibility of maximizing the added value. Considering this, directions for industry optimization and prerequisites for restoration, reconstruction, and optimization of the industry structure in the post-war period are proposed. The given areas of industry-wide impact of the trigger mechanism indicate the prospects of its introduction.

These estimates must be evaluated against high-quality ground measurements to ensure the reliability of the information. In this work, 15-minute Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) data from the Heliosat-4 model for all-sky conditions and the McClear model for clear-sky conditions were evaluated against ground-based measurements at two Saver-Net stations (http: //www.savernetsatreps.org): Pilar (Córdoba) and Villa Martelli (Buenos Aires). Clear sky detection of the measurements was done using the modified clarity index and analyzing the variability of consecutive measurements. A bias close to -5.5 % was found for the Heliosat-4 model at both sites and 1.15 % and -0.73 % for the MCClear model in Pilar and Villa Martelli, respectively. Furthermore, the relative root mean square error (rRMSD) was2 % and 20 % for the McClear and Heliosat-4 models, respectively at both sites.

Published: October 2023

Mesenteric ischemia is a surgical emergency. The presence of hepatic portal venous gas and pneumatosis intestinalis is a frequent finding in computed tomography. Not all hepatic portal venous gas and pneumatosis intestinalis are due to mesenteric ischemia. A 70-year-old female, with a known case of diabetes mellitus, rheumatic heart disease and atrial fibrillation under warfarin presented with diffuse abdominal pain, multiple episodes of vomiting and ecchymosis in bilateral flanks. Evaluation of the coagulation profile suggested warfarin-induced coagulopathy. Portal venous gas was detected during an ultrasound examination. Subsequent contrast-enhanced computed tomography abdomen showed hepatic portal venous gas, pneumatosis intestinalis, paucity of branches of the ileocolic artery, and reduced enhancement of caecum and ascending colon. Mild ascites were present in the pelvis. Arterial blood gas analysis revealed compensated metabolic acidosis. The patient was managed conservatively and discharged after nine days of hospital admission. Conservative approach can be considered for suspected mesenteric ischemia in surgically unfit candidates.

Published: October 2023

Dorsal agenesis of the pancreas is an exceedingly rare congenital anomaly where the dorsal part of the pancreas fails to develop properly during embryonic development. We report a case of partial agenesis of the dorsal pancreas in a 27-year-old female who presented with progressively worsening abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, generalized weakness, easy fatigability, and dizziness. Physical examination revealed fair general condition with stable vital signs and normal abdominal and other system findings. Laboratory evaluations and abdominal computed tomography scan revealed an absence of the pancreatic body, tail, and duct of Santorini, confirming the diagnosis of partial agenesis of the dorsal pancreas. Only around 100 cases have been reported in the literature, making it a diagnostic challenge. Our case illustrates the rarity and challenges in diagnosing dorsal agenesis of the pancreas. Further research is needed to fully understand its causes and associations.

Published: October 2023

Hearing impairment is a significant challenge faced by medical students and physicians, impacting their communication abilities and stethoscope use. This condition, though prevalent, remains under-addressed in medical education, with many institutions lacking explicit support systems and some even imposing exclusionary standards. This personal narrative chronicles the journey of a medical student who experienced a gradual and severe bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. This article also highlights the pivotal role of cochlear implants in significantly enhancing the author's academic and social life. Medical educators are encouraged to understand the challenges faced by hearing-impaired students and adapt their teaching methods to support them effectively.
In Search of the Essence of Self-Consciousness of the Chinese Nation
Authors: Sun Ya.
Published: October 2023

The self-consciousness of the Chinese nation has the features of a multi-ethnic country and includes the concept of a multinational China. China has a long 5000-year history, created by numerous peoples who, in the process of historical development, have undergone ethnic fusion. The cultures of these peoples have a close relationship, which is a deep historical basis for the self-consciousness of the Chinese nation. The article presents and explains the terminology of the self-consciousness of the Chinese nation, introduces the types of self-consciousness, discusses the processes of its development, the prospects and significance of research in this area. A complete understanding of the conceptual system of self-consciousness of the Chinese nation, from the point of view of ethnic psychology, is of great importance for building the Chinese national community. That is why the study of Chinese national identity plays an important role in world research in the field of psychology. This study is based on existing academic books and research literature, on the basis of which the formation process, the definition of connotation, the value and the way of realizing the self-consciousness of the Chinese nation are interpreted and discussed.

Dual Labor Market in Russian Economic Realities: Indicators and Assessment Methodology in the Context of Modern Challenges
Authors: Sedlov Aleksey
Published: October 2023

The article systematizes the conditions and consequences of the convergence of the boundaries of two segments of the Russian labor market: the segment of the domestic labor force and the segment of the foreign labor force (labor migrants). The indicators that can be used to assess the impact of this trend on the economy and society are considered. Frequent competitive intersections of migrants and local personnel made it possible to state the limitations in using D. Card's research and M. Piore's theory in assessing the Russian labor market with low incomes. An analysis of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the development of the SMO in Ukraine gives grounds for the conclusion about the further primitivization of the labor market caused by the growth of the foreign segment and the contraction of the domestic labor force’s segment.

Robin's criterion on superabundant numbers
Authors: Vega Frank
Published: October 2023

Robin's criterion states that the Riemann hypothesis is true if and only if the inequality \(\sigma(n) < e^{\gamma} \cdot n \cdot \log \log n\) holds for all natural numbers \(n > 5040\), where \(\sigma(n)\) is the sum-of-divisors function of \(n\), \(\gamma \approx 0.57721\) is the Euler-Mascheroni constant and \(\log\) is the natural logarithm. We require the properties of superabundant numbers, that is to say left to right maxima of \(n \mapsto \frac{\sigma(n)}{n}\). Let \(P_{n}\) be equal to \(\prod_{q \mid \frac{N_{r}}{6}} \frac{q^{\nu_{q}(n) + 2} - 1}{q^{\nu_{q}(n) + 2} - q}\) for a superabundant number \(n > 5040\), where \(\nu_{p}(n)\) is the \(\textit{p-adic}\) order of \(n\), \(q_{k}\) is the largest prime factor of \(n\) and \(N_{r} = \prod_{i = 1}^{r} q_{i}\) is the largest primorial number of order \(r\) such that \(\frac{N_{r}}{6} < q_{k}^{2}\). In this note, we prove that the Riemann hypothesis is true when \(P_{n} \geq Q\) holds for all large enough superabundant numbers \(n\), where \(Q = \frac{1.2 \cdot (2 - \frac{1}{8}) \cdot (3 - \frac{1}{3})}{(2 - \frac{1}{2^{19}}) \cdot (3 - \frac{1}{3^{12}})} \approx 1.0000015809\). In particular, the inequality \(P_{n} \geq Q\) holds when \(\sum_{q \mid m} \sigma(\frac{m}{q^{\nu_{q}(n) + 1}}) \gtrapprox \sigma(m) \cdot \log Q\) also holds such that \(m = \prod_{q \mid N_{r}} q^{\nu_{q}(n) + 1}\) since \(\sigma(\ldots)\) is multiplicative.
