Stunting is a condition in which a child suffers from growth failure that is under the age of five or young that can be caused by chronic malnutrition and/or recurrent infection during the first thousand days of life. According to the Health Department of East Java Province data in 2018, Jember district is one of the districts in East Java that has the highest stunting cases of 39.2%.Stunting is a problem related to malnutrition.Stunting cases can occur from pregnancy to childhood. Stunting is one of the effects that can be caused by nutritional deficien.cies during the first thousand days of a child's life that can cause irreversible physical developmental disorders in a child, resulting in long-term and short-term effects. One solution that can be an attempt to prevent and reduce stunting cases is with a program to provide knowledge and attitude in nutritional fulfillment as well as health in pregnant mothers. The One Day One Egg activity is done by adjusting the posyandu schedule in the village of Grenden, Puger district, Jember. Stunting is caused by chronic malnutrition that occurs in the early stages of development, especially during the first 1,000 days of life, i.e. from pregnancy to the age of 2 years or 23 months.

Intimate Partner Violence In College Students: Psychological Perspective
Authors: Maribell Xiomara Bejar Alegría
Published: September 2024

Intimate partner violence has previously been recognized as a major public health problem. This comprehensive systematic review aims to characterize existing research on actual or suspected infidelitywith intimate partner violence and inform future research and programs. We systematically searched the databases of Scopus, SciELO, Web of Science, Dialnet, peer-reviewed research, published between April 2017 and 2022, which provided data on prevalence or a measure of association (quantitative) or pathway (qualitative), between actual or suspected infidelity. We included 38 articles from 28 countries and the evidence showed a consistent association between actual or suspected infidelity. Our findings identify three general mechanisms and six pathways between infidelity, considered as intimate partner violence in college students. These provide support for major theories in the field related to patriarchal culture, threatened masculinities and femininities, and lack of emotional regulation and conflict resolution skills, but not evolutionary theories. Our findings suggest that researchers should use standardized measurement tools that distinguish between actual infidelity and suspicions, confirmations, and accusations of infidelity. Policy and programming should aim to transform traditional gender roles, taking into account infidelity and improving communication and trust of partners in students. Threatened masculinities and femininities and lack of emotional regulation and conflict resolution skills, but no evolutionary theories. Our findings suggest that researchers should use standardized measurement tools that distinguish between infidelity and suspicions, confirmations, and accusations of infidelity. The results of this  studymay suggest that specific information seminars within the curriculum might be suitable to provide students with.

Published: September 2024

Introduction Bile duct injury (BDI) management depends upon the type, clinical presentation, available resources and expertise. Some BDI may be managed with endoscopic intervention with Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-pancreaticography (ERCP), sphincterotomy and/or stenting while others may require complex surgery and percutaneous interventions by interventional radiologists (IR). This study aimed to evaluate the management strategies and early outcomes of bile duct injuries at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital.
MethodsIn this retrospective analysis, bile duct injuries in patients treated at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal over a period of two years were included (January 2020 to December 2022). In this study we have described the clinical presentation, Strasberg classification of BDI grade, different management techniques and their early outcomes. We calculated number and percentages for categorical variables, mean and standard deviation for continuous data.
ResultsOut of 26 bile duct injuries, 12 (46.2%) patients underwent surgical management, 9 (34.6%) underwent percutaneous intervention and 5 (19.2%) underwent endoscopic intervention. Majority of the patient 15 (57.7%) had stricture as an indication for management. Patients who underwent surgical, endoscopic, and percutaneous management showed good early outcomes in 12, 5, and 8 patients respectively. The mean duration of hospital stay was 11.8±5.2 days and CCI was 15.2±9.7, for patients with index presentation who underwent surgery.
ConclusionManagement of bile duct injuries require multidisciplinary team approach and favorable outcomes can be achieved when managed with expertise at tertiary centers. Surgical management remains essential for complex cases, while percutaneous and endoscopic interventions offer viable alternatives for less severe injuries.

Published: September 2024

Introduction Phenylephrine is considered the vasopressor of choice in hypotension associated with obstetric spinal anesthesia. But the dose and mode of administration that is effective yet safe in mother as well as fetus remains controversial. We studied the hemodynamics of parturients who received prophylactic infusion of phenylephrine 50µg/min following spinal anesthesia.
MethodsPatients posted for elective cesarean section received a prophylactic phenylephrine infusion of 50µg/min immediately after spinal anesthesia for 30 minutes. Parturients were also co-loaded with lactated Ringer’s solution 1 litre. Blood pressure and heart rate was monitored at an interval of 3min initially and after the delivery of baby interval was increased to 5min.  Episodes of hypotension, reactive hypertension and bradycardia in mother were recorded. Neonatal APGAR score at 1 and 5min was also recorded.
ResultsOne hundred and forty parturients were included in the study. Twenty patients (14.28%) developed hypotension. Out of 20 patients who developed hypotension, 3 patients (15%) had a single episode, 11 patients (55%) had 2 episodes and 6 patients (30%) had 3 episodes of hypotension. Three patients (2.14%) had reactive hypertension. None of the patients had bradycardia. There was no episode of hypotension induced nausea vomiting. Mean APGAR score at 1min and 5min was 8 and 9 respectively.
ConclusionThe prevalence of hypotension with prophylactic phenylephrine infusion was low. We found minimal episodes of reactive hypertension, no episodes of bradycardia and no adverse effect on fetus. It can be regarded a safe means to minimize hypotension in obstetric spinal anesthesia.

Introduction Emergence of antimicrobial resistance is a huge challenge in management of pneumonia especially health care associated ones. Culture and sensitivity test of the bacteria from sputum samples is not only useful for rational treatment of respiratory bacterial infections of individual cases but also for  surveillance of changing sensitivity status of prevalent  organisms. The aim of  this study was to find the bacterial sensitivity pattern from the sputum samples and endotracheal aspirates. 
MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in Shree Birendra Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal. Standard guideline was followed for sputum culture and identification of the bacterial isolates. The antimicrobial susceptibility test was conducted using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion technique. Every bacterial isolate's sensitivity was studies and noted.
ResultsThe culture positivity rate was 9.87% (99/1003). Predominant isolates were gram-negative bacteria (97.4%). Pseudomonas spp. was the most frequent isolate (31%). Among the all isolates, 48.1% of Pseudomonas spp., 81.5% of Klebsiella pneumoniae, and 60% of Escherichia coli isolates showed meropenem resistance. Imipenem and meropenem resistance was observed in 91.7% of the isolates of Acinetobacter spp. Rate of resistance to  carbapenems i.e. imipenem and meropenem was higher in comparison to rate of resistance to aminoglycosides in all of the gram-negative isolates.
ConclusionThe isolates belonging to Enterobacterales and the Acinetobacter spp. have been found to have high incidence of resistance to carbapenems in comparison to other groups of antibacterial agents.

Authors: Gurung Urmila , Khadgi Sajish
Published: September 2024

Introduction Intranasal corticosteroid spray (INCS) needs to be administered correctly and regularly for it to be effective in treating allergic rhinitis. This study aimed to assess the correctness of technique and compliance of intranasal corticosteroid spray usage in patients with allergic rhinitis.
MethodsIt was a cross-sectional study conducted in the Dept of ENT-Head and Neck surgery, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital from April to September 2023. Patients aged 18 or more with allergic rhinitis on INCS or had been on INCS in the past three months were assessed for INCS administration technique based on EPOS 2020 checklist and their compliance asked. Factors that could hinder the correct techniques and compliance were assessed.
ResultsA total of 138 patients, 71 males and 67 females, aged 18 to 55 years were included. Most of them (60/138; 43.5%) had completed secondary level education. 97.1% (134/138) had been prescribed INCS spray by ENT doctor and 89.13% (124/ 138) had received verbal instructions mostly by ENT doctor (91.1%). 7.2% (10/138) completed all the steps as per EPOS 2020 checklist whilst 25/138 (18.1%) completed five essential steps. The correctness of the INCS administration technique however did not differ with age, gender, academic qualification, prescriber or whether instructions were given or not. 119/138 (86.2%) patients reported being compliant.
ConclusionINCS spray was scarcely administered with the correct technique although the compliance was good. This study emphasizes the need for effective patient and healthcare worker education pertaining to correct INCS technique.

Published: September 2024

Introduction Samples received in the laboratory are often rejected because of visible hemolysis. Every laboratory has protocols on whether to accept or reject hemolyzed samples based on tests ordered. The objective of the study was to observe and analyze the variations seen in association with hemolyzed samples in liver function test parameters and electrolytes measurement.
MethodsThis cross-sectional observational study was carried out in 88 laboratory samples in the Clinical Biochemistry Laboratory. Hemolysis was induced by mechanical mixing. This study compared reported values of bilirubin, protein, albumin, aminotransferases (ALT and AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), sodium and potassium between hemolyzed and non-hemolyzed samples.
ResultsMean values of total bilirubin (TB) and direct bilirubin (TB), ALT, ALP, GGT and sodium (Na) were found to be significantly decreased post hemolysis (p<=0.001) with mean variances (σ2) at 0.30 (TB), 0.38 (DB), 0.56 (ALT), 0.18 (ALP), 0.01 (GGT) and 0.001 (Na). In contrast, mean values of AST (σ2= -0.9, p<0.001) and potassium (σ2 = -0.3, p<0.001) were found to be significantly elevated post hemolysis. Total protein and albumin were also found to be elevated in hemolyzed samples but the average variance was not statistically significant. Degree of hemolysis had highly varying effects in some parameters like AST and total protein, but less varying and more consistent effects on other measured parameters.
ConclusionFree hemoglobin estimation should be considered before rejecting a clinical sample because of hemolysis. Mathematical equations cannot be expected to reproduce corrected values of the analytes in question because of the large variances, so these tests need to be repeated on non-hemolyzed samples for the analytes that are affected.Keywords

Introduction Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is considered a disease of old age and is typically found in the 6th-8th decade of life. The diagnosis of RCC is increasing more rapidly in younger age patients. This study was conducted to evaluate the clinicopathological pattern and outcome of early onset RCC and compare them with the older age group patients.
MethodsThis was a single center observational study. All the patients undergoing radical or partial nephrectomy during the period of November 2019 to October 2022 for renal masses and whose final histopathology report showed RCC were included in the study. Clinicopathological patterns and outcome were compared between the two age groups.
ResultsAmong 47 patients, 17 (36.2%) patients were at or below the age of ≤46 years and 30 (63.8%) patients in older age group. There was significant difference in male (29): female (18) ratio between the two age groups (p < 0.005). Younger age patients (≤46 yrs) had higher stage of disease at presentation compared with the older age (>46 yrs) patients [tumor extension into major veins and perinephric tissue (T3) and above 26 vs 21] and they had significantly higher mortality rate (29.4% vs 3.3%, p =0.01).
ConclusionPatients aged ≤46 years of age were more frequently affected by RCC with female predominance. Younger age group had higher stage of disease at presentation with higher mortality in comparison to older age group.

Published: September 2024

Introduction This study measured the accuracy of spiral computed tomographic angiography (SCTA) in defining renal vascular anatomy and estimating the prevalence of renal vascular anomalies in live kidney donors.
MethodsThis prospective clinical study included 400 live-related-donor nephrectomies from June 2017 to December 2023. Renal vascular anatomy was described after SCTA. Reporting included the number of renal arteries and veins. Analysis was done by considering intraoperative findings as “actual” findings and compared to preoperative SCTA images for their prediction. For donated side kidneys, the prevalence of vascular variations was calculated using surgical and SCTA findings. The non-donated side was evaluated using SCTA alone.
ResultsFour-hundred live-donor nephrectomies were performed including 326 left and 74 right-sided cases. Of the 400 kidneys harvested, 429 renal arteries were detected out of which 414 arteries (96.5 %) were predicted by SCTA. Fifteen accessory renal arteries (1-2 mm) were identified at nephrectomy, which was not predicted. In two cases, SCTA was reported to have renal arterial stenosis (multiple in one and in mid-part in the other) which turned out to be normal intraoperatively. Similarly, 417 renal veins were detected in 400 harvested kidneys. Out of these, 408 renal veins (97.8 %) were predicted by SCTA. Two renal arteries were found in 161 Kidneys and three renal arteries were found in seven kidneys. In addition, two renal veins were found in 35 kidneys.
ConclusionSpiral computed tomographic angiography provided a reliable and accurate assessment of renal vascular anatomy and its variations in live donor nephrectomy. Small accessory arteries were missed occasionally.
Enhancing Multi-Cloud Storage: A Hybrid Framework Using Interleaving and LT Codes
Authors: Chansaeng Tanagrit , Khemapatapan Chaiyaporn
Published: September 2024

This article presents a novel framework for enhancing the integrity and availability of data stored on multi-cloud storage systems. The proposed technique leverages a combination of interleaving and Luby transform (LT) codes, specifically employing either ideal or robust soliton distribution during the LT encoding stage. The proposed technique is rigorously designed, incorporating data preparation facilitated by a cloud broker and culminating in the measurement of key performance indicators (KPIs).  A central component of the framework is data processing, which involves interleaving followed by the LT encoding with soliton distribution selection. The performance of the proposed technique is evaluated through data integrity, data availability, and others. The results demonstrate that using the robust soliton distribution offers a pragmatic balance between computational efficiency and robust data integrity, particularly crucial in dynamic multi-cloud environments. Additionally, the proposed technique achieves a high level of data integrity of more than 0.97 and strong resilience with average data availability of 98%. However, further optimization is necessary to address storage overhead, retrieval time, and computational overhead. Despite these considerations, the framework remains significant, especially within the context of confidentiality, integrity, and availability for multi-cloud storage protection. The proposed technique underscores the potential of integrating interleaving and LT codes to revolutionize data storage and access within cloud environments, paving the way for future innovations in the field.

The current study used Asplenium unilaterale Lam. with a natural alternative to monosodium glutamate (MSG) , along with plant mixtures to develop a seasoning powder. Four formulations (2-8 w/w of A. unilaterale Lam.) were characterized. Furthermore, the nutritional, physiochemical, amino acid profiles, antioxidant, and sensory properties were determined. The ash and carbohydrate content differed significantly among the four seasoning powders containing different concentrations of A. unilaterale Lam. The protein content significantly increased in seasoning powders as the A. unilaterale Lam. content increased.. The developed products had a water activity range of 0.33–0.40, and the color value ranges, L*, a*, and b*, were 60.42–78.38, 1.14–4.53, and 8.49–13.81, respectively. High concentrations of the non-essential amino acids aspartic acid and glutamic acid were observed, causing an umami taste that increased with A. unilaterale Lam. content. The highest antioxidant properties were measured in the sample with added A. unilaterale Lam. content. The sensory scores in taste for Sample D (8 w/w of A. unilaterale Lam.) received the highest scores, but the overall acceptability of the samples did not significantly vary. Therefore, this seasoning powder potentially has flavor and nutritional properties that provide health benefits and could be used as an alternative plant-derived seasoning product.

Authors: Burapapadh Kanokporn , Warintaksa Pawanda , Ruksapram Sanphat , Saokham Phennapha
Published: September 2024

The objective of this study was to prepare enteric diclofenac sodium microparticles using an aqueous dispersion system via spray-drying. Two aqueous-based solvent systems, phosphate buffer at pH 7.0 and ammonium hydrogen carbonate solution, were employed as the feed dispersion media in the spray-drying process based on the solubility characteristics of Eudragit® L100. At a drug-to-polymer ratio of 1:1, the optimal solids concentration in the feed dispersion was determined to be 2% w/v, as it enabled an approximately 5-30 µm smooth-surfaced spherical microparticle with a high production yield. Diclofenac sodium was efficiently encapsulated within the microparticles, existing as solid dispersion in a partially amorphous form. Notably, the spray-drying conditions utilized in this study obviated the need for further heating for microparticles prepared using ammonium hydrogen carbonate solution, as the residual ammonium could be completely eliminated during the spray-drying process. The two-stage biorelevant drug release profile of enteric microparticles demonstrated their ability to inhibit drug dissolution under acidic conditions while facilitating drug release under basic conditions. The phosphate buffer-based microparticles exhibited greater protection efficiency under acidic conditions compared to ammonium hydrogen carbonate-based systems, despite residual alkaline salt being present in the microparticles. These results validate the potential of the developed microparticles for use as an enteric drug delivery system.

Abstract
Depending on their protective properties against different cases of Colorectal Cancer (CRC), vitamins C, D, and E are the main focus of this research. CRC is one of the global public health concerns. 30 healthy individuals provided serum samples, whereas the group of CRC patients was divided into three, totaling 90 individuals. Group I consisted of 30 newly diagnosed cases of CRC. Group II 30 consisted of consisted of 30 CRC patients who were administered three cycles of chemotherapy. Group III consisted of 30 diagnosed CRC patients who also have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The concentrations and groups of vitamins C, D, and E were evaluated using ELISA. The levels of Vitamin C were significantly lower (p <0.0001) in individuals newly diagnosed with CRC, as compared to the control group. Patients who were recently diagnosed and treated for CRC and NAFLD exhibited comparable amounts of vitamin C. The level of vitamin E in control, newly diagnosed CRC and treated CRC patients displayed no significant differences, however comparing with newly diagnosed patients that suffered NAFLD, a significant decrease (p = 0.0014) in the level of vitamin E in CRC with NAFLD group was. The levels of Vitamin D in all groups of patients with colorectal cancer were significantly lower than those in the control group (p <0.0001). Colon cancer patients exhibited significantly decreased levels of vitamin C and D compared to healthy individuals. Vitamins showed potential as diagnostic markers for distinguishing between groups. It is necessary to analyze these findings as the level of serum vitamins may have potential use in the prognosis of the CRC in patients.

This study compared the effects of high-pressure processing (HPP) and irradiation on the shelf life and quality of plant-based whole hard-boiled eggs. The objective was to determine the optimal treatment doses for microbial inactivation and shelf life, and to assess their impacts on the product's physical, chemical, and sensory properties. Irradiation treatments were applied at 0, 2, 3.5, and 5 kGy, while HPP was conducted at 0, 300, 400, and 500 MPa. Post-treatment analysis included assessments of physical, chemical, and microbial quality, focusing on Clostridium perfringens, and sensory evaluations using a 9-point hedonic scale. Shelf life was predicted using accelerated shelf-life testing (ASLT) at 40°C and 50°C, employing the temperature acceleration factor (Q10) and temperature quotient (Q1). Results showed that gamma irradiation at 3.5 kGy and electron beam irradiation at 5 kGy both provided a predicted shelf life of 217 days, while HPP at 500 MPa resulted in a predicted shelf life of 146 days. All treatments initially eliminated microorganisms effectively, but HPP showed potential for spore germination during extended storage. Sensory evaluations indicated that electron beam irradiation and HPP better maintained product quality compared to gamma irradiation at higher doses. This study provides valuable insights for food manufacturers seeking to enhance the safety and quality of plant-based egg alternatives using non-thermal processing methods.

Nicotine, a highly toxic alkaloid found in tobacco, is known for its addictive properties and systemic side effects, including carcinogenic potential and multi-organ damage. Recent evidence indicates that nicotine can significantly impair liver function and regeneration by promoting fibrogenesis and oxidative stress. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of Vernonia cinerea (VC) against nicotine-induced liver damage in Wistar rats, focusing on inflammation and pro-fibrosis markers. Thirty male Wistar rats were divided into three groups: a control group, a nicotine group (1 mg/kg/day), and a nicotine plus VC group (1 mg/kg/day nicotine and 100 mg/kg/day VC). Liver tissues were examined using Hematoxylin and Eosin staining, and Masson's trichrome staining to evaluate histological changes. Kupffer cell counts were determined using a Panoramic digital slide scanner. Statistical analyses were conducted to compare the groups. Nicotine exposure led to significant liver damage, characterized by increased inflammation, collagen deposition, and disruption of liver architecture. VC supplementation ameliorated these effects, reducing inflammation and fibrosis markers. Kupffer cell counts were lower in the nicotine plus VC group compared to the nicotine group alone. Conclusion: VC demonstrates a protective role in mitigating nicotine-induced liver damage, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic agent for preventing liver fibrosis and maintaining liver health in nicotine-exposed individuals.

Published: September 2024

The aims of this research are: 1) to describe learning constraints; 2) to describe the initial didactic design; 3) to describe learning activities when using the initial didactic design; 4) to describe the final design of the didactic material for learning mathematics from KPK and FPB. For the purpose of this investigation, a method known as Didactic Design Research (DDR) was used to conduct qualitative research. Data collection used interview methods, tests, documentation, and video recordings. The didactic design research process has several stages, which are 1) Pedagogical Didactic Anticipation (ADP) Analysis, 2) Metapedagogical analysis, which is the second choice, and 3) Past examination. Students showed various responses during their education, as shown by the investigation findings. Even though learning can take a short time, through the use of Pahima media, students can understand and enjoy learning about FPB and KPK. Therefore, in the final didactic design, there are improvements that emphasize the practice questions that have been provided more, and as a consequence, the researcher made modifications to these questions. At the beginning of the lesson, there were two questions that students had not completed correctly. This collection of questions was based on the idea of ​​​​LCM and FPB as a fairy tale, with the first and second questions discussing different story questions from the examples explained earlier. Children could not understand these components as a whole.

Background and Aims: The creation of a sand court training program presents a special chance for inexperienced badminton players to improve their abilities and physical condition. Because sand offers resistance, players must move and footwork with more effort, which increases their agility and endurance. The uneven surface also forces players to hone their technique, which improves balance and coordination—two skills necessary for winning the game. Thus, this study aims to investigate the effects of sand court training programs on the physical fitness and skills of novice badminton students, particularly in comparison to traditional synthetic court training.
Methodology: The sample group consisted of 10 first-year students from Guangdong University of Business Studies, comprising 5 males and 5 females, all of whom had no prior experience in badminton training. Purposive sampling was employed to ensure participants had consistent backgrounds in badminton skill training. The primary tool utilized in this study was a sand court badminton training plan designed by experts, rather than questionnaire surveys. T-test statistical analysis was employed to analyze participants' physical fitness and skill test results before and after the training.
Results: After 8 weeks of sand court training, participants showed significant improvements in both physical fitness (including balance, endurance, explosiveness, flexibility, and speed) and badminton skills (including serving accuracy, smashing accuracy, blocking accuracy, footwork, and defense). In comparison to traditional synthetic court training, sand court training provided participants with more challenges and better training outcomes.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that sand court training effectively enhances the physical fitness and badminton skills of beginners. Therefore, compared to traditional synthetic court training, sand court training offers superior training effects, providing a new perspective on badminton training methods and highlighting the potential value of incorporating sand court training into training programs.
