The issue of street children is a social problem that is constantly developing. Street children arise because of marginalization and polarization, which if left unchecked can lead to social inequality in society. The increase in street children in Gresik Regency shows that the government has not fully overcome this problem. For this reason, these social issues need to be resolved together. The existence of civil society is an alternative to intervene in alleviating the problem of street children. One of them is the existence of a Non-Govenmental Organization in Gresik Regency, namely the Omah Dhuafa Community which seeks to realize the welfare of street children through empowerment activities. This study aims to find out about the role of the Omah Dhuafa Community in providing empowerment to street children in Gresik Regency. The research method used is qualitative, where data collection is obtained through interviews, observation and documentation. Based on the results of the research and discussion, shows that the homeless community has carried out its role well, even though there are limitations in providing empowerment for street children, such as limitations in collaborating with the government, as well as limitations in providing training to street children.

Transalveolar extraction of impacted wisdom teeth is one of the most common surgical procedure in oral surgery department. The most common
complications after surgery are alveolitis and surgical site infection. In most of the patients inammatory complications are there until the point of
suture removal. Among patients considered to have made a full recovery, postprocedural complications may occur weeks later and delayed onset
infection (DOI) is one of them. Although it is a rare complication of wisdom tooth extractions but it can result in severe physical and emotional
burdens. The onset of delayed infection could be a greater problem in terms of medicolegal problem because this complication arises in a period in
which a patient believes the healing is completed. Therefore, surgeons should inform patients of the possibility of a DOI, which is most likely to
appear approximately 4 weeks after surgery.
ASSESSMENT OF RV DYSFUNCTION AND LVEF IN HEART FAILURE PATIENTS USING SPECKLE TRACKING ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY
Authors: Bilal Mohsin , U Rabbani M
Published: August 2023

Background:RVdysfunction is well known prognostic marker of morbidity and mortality in all forms of heart failure independent of LVfunction.
In this study we used newer modality of speckle tracking echocardiography to diagnose RV dysfunction and study its correlation with various
categories of heart failure namely HFpef, HFmef and Hfref Aims: To study the correlation between RV dysfunction and LVEF Methods: In a
single hospital based cross sectional study we studied 99 patients of clinical heart failure and classied them in 3 groups according to LVEF [ <
40%, 40-49% and > 50% ] and calculated RV dysfunction using STE on Philips cvx machine using dedicated Tomtec software for calculating RV
strain. RV dysfunction was dened as RV free wall GLS < 19 and RV 6 segment GLS < 24. LVEF was calculated with modied Simpson method.
NT ProBNP levels more than 150 pg/ml were considered abnormal. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, organic valvular heart
disease, rhythm other than sinus rhythm, history of pulmonary embolism, respiratory failure, congenital heart disease were excluded. Results:The
mean (SD) of LVEF (%) in the RV Dysfunction group was 42.51 (12.04) and without RV Dysfunction group was 48.39 (9.67). 43.3% of the
patients with RV Dysfunction had LVEF <40%. 26.9% of the patients with RV Dysfunction had LVEF: 40-49%. 29.9% of the patients with RV
Dysfunction had LVEF: ≥50%. The difference was signicant between HFref and HFmef patients [p=0.01] and HFref and HFpef patients [p=0.04]
but not between HFmef and HFpef patients. Conclusion:RVdysfunction signicantly increases in patients with LVEF < 40%

Published: August 2023

Background: Outcomes for hypoxic patients infected with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and elevated D-dimer levels are not well
understood. The objective of this study was to compare D-dimer levels in COVID-19 patients diagnosed with acute respiratory distress syndrome
(ARDS) and non-ARDS and evalaute their outcomes. Methods: Retrospective evalaution of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 pneumonia
requiring supplemental oxygen for hypoxia and that had D-dimer levels available on admission. The study period was March 1 to May 31, 2020.
Patients were categorized as ARDS and non-ARDS and compared by D-dimer level. Evaluated outcomes included hospital mortality, mechanical
ventilation, acute kidney injury, shock, and length of stay. Results: Out of 1242 patients enrolled, 254 presented with ARDS and 988 with nonARDS; 489 (39%) patients had elevated D-dimer levels on admission. Mortality among all patients was 36.6%, higher mortality in the group with
elevated D-dimer levels (81% for ARDS versus 35.7% for non-ARDS). Mechanical ventilation, acute kidney injury, thromboembolic events, and
shock were more frequently observed in the group with both ARDS and elevated D-dimer levels. Regression analysis revealed a correlation
between ARDS, males, old age, asthma, serum creatinine at discharge, and acute kidney injury with increased mortality. Conclusions:This study
provides comparative phenotypic characteristics of COVID-19 patients presenting with hypoxia in a high-risk, underrepresented community.
Morbidity and mortality can be predicted by using readily available toold like oxygenation and D-dimer levels on admission; this could help to
identify patients who will require a higher level of care and potentially could have more COVID-19 related complications.

Authors: Pradeep Boyidapu Bala , Thiruvarutchelvan Thiruvarutchelvan , Kumar. S Siva , Muthukumaran Muthukumaran
Published: August 2023

Background: Stroke is the most prevalent cause of disability that impairs ambulation and the ability to perform the activities of daily living. The
common decits following stroke are limb paresis and postural imbalance and these can signicantly impact physical ability and health. The ability
to evaluate degree of weakness after a stroke may help in planning rehabilitation. Although several factors like severity of neurological decit,
lesion size, location, age have been suggested as predictors of recovery after stroke, evoked potentials provide an objective and direct method to
assess the integrity of sensory and motor pathways of the central nervous system. Somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) can predict recovery
after stroke. Aim: To assess the predictive value of median SSEP in acute stroke patients and in long term recovery. Methodology: Prospective
study of 1year. 25 patients who fullled inclusion and exclusion criteria were taken and subjected to history, clinical examination, imaging and
SSEP studies and compared the results with controls. Results: Out of 25 patients, 20 men and 5women. 24 patients had an ischaemic stroke and 1
had a hemorrhagic stroke. 15 patients had left hemiparesis and 10 had right hemiparesis. Most of the patients with stroke had prolonged N20
latency when compared with those of the control group. The medium value of latency of N20 was increased at the level of the “injured” hemisphere
(21.18) when compared with “uninjured” hemisphere (19.3) which was statistically signicant(p<0.05). It was observed that those patients with
minimal alterations or close to normal value of N20 latency(18.73) had the best rates of recovery and those with signicantly increased N20 latency
(>22) had delayed and little recovery. Conclusion: The study of SSEP can be useful in complement with imaging in stroke and can be an indicator
of the recovery potential in strok

Cohesive and strong families are prone to develop physically and emotionally healthy individuals. The study examined the role of parenting styles;
authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and social media afnity in developing the three subtypes of antisocial behavior; Social Aggression (SA),
Physical Aggression (PA), and Rule-Breaking Behavior among secondary school students. The study utilized 140 secondary school students
between 18 and 19 years in Sri Lanka who lived with their parents and were in touch with social media. The data was collected through the Subtypes
of the Antisocial Behavior Scale (STAB), Perceived Parenting Style Scale (PPSS), and social media afnity scale. The results of the study revealed
that parenting styles and social media afnity had a relationship with Antisocial Behavior (AB). Furthermore, signicant predictors of SAwere
authoritative and authoritarian parenting; PA was authoritarian parenting, and authoritative parenting predicted Rule-breaking behavior.
Throughout the study, authoritative parenting results had a negative relation. The study exclusively found that permissive parenting and social
media afnity did not impact AB development. Therefore, the study recommends that parents should endeavor to adopt an authoritative parenting
style. The study contributes to authorities dealing with students with behavior problems to take necessary actions by building effective
interventions/strategies.

herbs including Ocimum sanctum, Mentha spicata, Centella asiatica, Cympobogan citratus, Allim cepa. Culinary herbs like Lemongrass,
galangal (lengkuas), turmeric (kunyit), kafr lime leaves, laksa leaves (daun kesom), wild ginger ower buds or torch ginger (bunga kantan) and
screwpine leaves (pandan leaves) add avor and zest to poultry, meat and seafood. Apart of the culinary use basil has been traditionally employed
as a medicinal herb in the treatment of headaches, coughs, diarrhea, constipation, warts and/ or kidney malfunction. Fresh and dried plants and their
essential oil is used in food, cosmetic, confectionary, chewing gum, toothpaste and pharmaceutical industries. Centella asiatica is used to treat skin
disease, rheumatism, inammation, syphilis, mental illness, epilepsy, diarrhea and wounds, leprosy, phlebitis. C. citratus leaves have
demonstrated anti-inammatory, hypotensive and diuretic activities and also cancer chemo-preventive properties. Phyto chemical compounds
like reduced organosulfur compounds alkenyl cysteine, avonoids, tannins and phenolic acids, have been identied as the active compounds
responsible for the reported pharmacological properties of the culinary herbs.

The purpose of the study was to examine the factors affecting community health fund (CHF) growth in Tanzania. The study objectives were to
assess the socio-demographic, socio-economic as well as socio-cultural factors affecting CHF scheme growth in Ilala district.The sample size of
study was 400 members and non-members of CHF scheme, staff members of CHF institutions and local government ofcials from four wards
(including Ilala, Kisutu, East and West Upanga). Respondents were selected using random sampling processes. The study used a cross-sectional
design. Data were collected using questionnaires. Data was analysed using descriptive statistic while multiple linear regression was carried out to
determine the general relationship between independent and dependent variable.The ndings showed that majority of the surveyed households had
sufcient education level and with ages more than 50 years. Ahigher number of the households had unreliable jobs that gave them no option to join
CHF scheme. The majority of the surveyed households mentioned traditional healing to be the most appropriate way to treat their health
implications.Based on the study ndings, the researcher recommends that households have to be categorized by authorities into strata of different
income levels and geographical locations premiums determined according to their ability to pay.Timings for revenue collection to be designed in
such a way to suit the situation of different members.Revenue from alternative sources must be collected from Central or local government.

Introduction- Endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a minimally invasive technique with a high
diagnostic yield for the evaluation of mediastinal and hilar lymph node and masses via ne needle aspiration under direct sonographic
visualisation. It has the potential to overcome the limitations encountered by various techniques of sampling the mediastinal and hilar lesions
having an important modality in the eld of interventional pulmonology which is safe and accurate. Even though EBUS-TBNA was shown to have
high diagnostic yield decades ago, this intervention is still new in many of the tertiary centres of our country. To determine the Objectivesdiagnostic yield of endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration in mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy and masses and
also to assess the prole of different mediastinal and hilar lesions diagnosed by endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration.
Methodology- This was a cross sectional study performed on 42 cases with radiological evidence of mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy and
masses who attended Respiratory Medicine, Out Patient Department (OPD), Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Imphal, Manipur
from September 2020 to August 2022. This study determined the diagnostic yield of EBUS-T Results- BNA to be 85.7% and among the malignant
lesions diagnosed, adenocarcinoma was the most common histopathological type while granulomatous lesions of both caseating and noncaseating type were found to be the most common benign lesions. In the present s Conclusion- tudy, EBUS-TBNA was found to be a safe novel
intervention which should be regarded as the rst choice in the diagnostic work up of mediastinal and hilar lesions considering its diagnostic yield
without signicant complication.

Although Dracunculiasis has been eradicated from most parts of the world, it is still endemic in some tropical African and Asian
countries.[1,14]Calcied Guinea worms can be misdiagnosed with hydatid disease, loa loa and onchrocera volvus , so a proper knowledge about
the diagnosis must be present with the physician.[2,18]Here we report a 65-year-old female from Maharashtra with radiological evidence of
calcied Guinea worms.There is need for awareness among physicians about the occurrence of GWD in people and the need to ensure supply of
safe drinking water to prevent its re-emergence

Purpose: To evaluate levels of CRP with severity of maxillofacial trauma and to correlate it with the overall prognosis of the maxillofacial fractures
after standardized surgical treatment. A prospective study on C- reactive prote Material And Methods: in was conducted on subjects presenting
with maxillofacial trauma reporting to the OPD-Department of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery, ABSMIDS for a period of 2 years. Patients with
head injury, poly trauma, hepatocellular disease, cardiovascular disease, pneumonia or if the patient had a recent history of surgery in the past 1
month were excluded from the study after a detailed case history and clinical examination. A total of 119 subjects were included in the study and
CRP levels were assessed preoperatively at the time of admission, post operatively after twenty four hours and on postoperative day four. Results:
106 patients included in the study reported within forty-eight hours of trauma and the levels of C- reactive protein in the body increased with the
time elapsed since trauma, with the highest values at around forty-eight hours of trauma and lowest values when the patient reported immediately
post trauma. 13 patients who reported after 48 hours of trauma were assessed separately. The fractures involving mandible showed signicantly
higher values of pre-operative CRP as compared to ZMC fractures (p< 0.001). On comparing the preoperative CRP values of fractures based on
open (N=58; mean CRP- 22.75mg/L) or closed fractures (N=48; mean CRP -11.83), signicant difference was found. Also on comparing between
the single bone, two bone and multiple facial fractures statistically signicant difference (p<0.0001, p<0.002, p< 0.0001 respectively) with a higher
value on open fractures was seen. Irrespective of the approach used for a closed fracture, postoperatively the CRP values remained signicantly
lower as compared to the open fractures (p<0.001). Postoperatively on day four when CRP values were recorded the values reduced drastically
beginning to normalize and we got a certain curve for CRP in maxillofacial trauma patients. This curve remained constant in open and closed
fractures as well, with open fractures having a steeper curve and a longer period for CRP to normalize. The fractures of the facial Conclusion:
skeleton is prone to infections due to the high bacterial ora present in the oral cavity. Awareness of the natural CRP responses after fractures may
help in conrming the normal healing pattern for various bones, which can help us plan the correct treatment sooner thereby preventing the

Emergency Departments (EDs) are among the most challenging clinical settings for nurses.EDs are complex settings, including patients with various clinical severity levels, every typology of medical and surgical specialties, fast organizational responses, a triage area to identify the clinical priorities to access a medical visitation, and simultaneous emergency codes to be managed.Therefore, the issue of acquiring and maintaining adequate competencies to manage the delivery of nursing care in a multifaceted setting such as ED is central.

Orientation and onboarding programs with very different characteristics in terms of content, duration, and delivery methods are present worldwide. These programs can include clinical skills self-assessment, structured learning opportunities, e-learning, development of core skills, portfolios.

The possibility of integrating different educational strategies to gain knowledge with time spent in specific clinical areas to increase experience is the winning way to obtain the growth and maintenance of ED nurses’ competencies.

In this paper, we report on the experience (currently in progress) related to the ongoing performance evaluation of ED nurses’ activities during 12 months in the Emergency Department of Careggi University Hospital.In particular, a printed annual “Professional dossier” was designed with two-fold aim. The staff nurse holder of the booklet can handle a realistic summary of his/her activities, case mix, and time spent in the diverse clinical areas of the ED, comparing these data with opportune standards provided to make adequate comparisons and pinpoint the professional improvements that are needed. The nurse coordinator and nurse manager can use nurses’ personal dossiers to know the realistic competencies load in the ED, balance the work shifts with adequate skill mix, program the rotation of nurses in the different clinical areas during the year to ease the maintenance of experience and expertise, and have a photograph of some important performance indicators for hospital personnel evaluation.
