A Comparative Study on the Swiss Ball Training and Conventional Balance Training Versus Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Pattern for Improving Trunk and Balance Control in Sub-Acute Stroke
Authors: Gokul M. , Dhasaradharaman Kannan , Robert Ferdinand
Published: December 2023

Background and purpose: Stroke is a common neurological disorder, representing a major cause of disability. It is considered as a significant health problem, which needs an unremitting and wide-ranging rehabilitation. In stroke, trunk control is impaired in 80 % of patients. The patients are unable to maintain the balance in sitting, standing or moving in weight bearing position. The purpose of the study is to compare the effect of the Swiss ball training and conventional balance training versus proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation pattern for improving trunk and balance control in sub-acute stroke.
Method: 30 subjects who underwent inclusion criteria were selected and randomly divided into 15 subjects in each two groups. Group A [Swiss ball training and conventional balance training] and Group B [proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation pattern]. The Berg balance scale and Trunk impairment scale can be used as the primary outcome of the study.
Results: Analysis using Independent ‘t’ test found that there was no statistically significant difference (p<0.05) between the Swiss ball training and conventional training versus proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation pattern for improving trunk and balance control in sub-acute stroke.
Conclusion: Based on the results, this study concluded that Swiss ball training and conventional training was more effective than proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation pattern for improving trunk and balance control in sub-acute stroke.

Key words: Stroke, Swiss ball training, Berg balance scale and Trunk impairment scale, Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation.

Clinicohematological Perspective and Dual Case Reports of Bone Marrow Metastasis with Review of Literature
Authors: Nagar Vaidehi , Patil Nanda
Published: December 2023

Metastatic tumours frequently include bone marrow as a primary site of metastasis. The presence of bone marrow metastases has been observed in several tumour types, with the most prevalent occurrences found in prostate, breast and lung carcinomas among adults and in small round cell tumours within the paediatric group. The presence of solid tumour metastases in the bone marrow is indicative of an advanced disease stage and is associated with a poor prognosis. In this study, we report two instances of malignancies that have demonstrated metastasis to the bone marrow. Specifically, we focus on gastric adenocarcinoma and mantle cell lymphoma, examining their respective patterns of bone marrow involvement and associated haematological findings. The bone marrow examination is a simple, effective, sensitive and cost-effective method for determining the stage and monitoring the prognosis of solid tumours.

Authors: Kaur Puneet , Kumar Sandeep , Sambyal Smati
Published: December 2023

Context: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using a hamstring tendon graft is a common surgical procedure for individuals with ACL injuries. However, there is a significant lack of comprehensive research comparing the effects of an accelerated rehabilitation program and a neuromuscular rehabilitation program on knee pain and quality of life in ACL reconstructed population.
Objective: To compare the impact of accelerated rehabilitation program with neuromuscular rehabilitation program on knee pain and quality of life in subjects after ACL reconstruction.
Subjects: 30 male individuals, between 35-50 years, who underwent ACL repair surgery.
Outcome measures: Visual analog scale (VAS) and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) was used to examine the knee pain and quality of life respectively. The individuals in Group A underwent an accelerated rehabilitation program, whereas Group B received a neuromuscular rehabilitation program.
Results: The results of this study demonstrated a significant increase (p < 0.001) in both the visual analog scale scores and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score scores in both the groups. While comparing the two groups, it was found that both groups exhibited similar improvements in VAS scores. However, the comparison of KOOS scores revealed that Group B showed a significantly greater improvement compared to Group A.
Conclusion: The result of current study indicates that neuromuscular rehabilitation program is equivalent to accelerated rehabilitation program in terms of improving knee pain, but better in terms of improving quality of life in subjects with ACL reconstruction.

URGENSI DAN KONSEKUENSI PEMBACAAN SIGHAT TAKLIK TALAK SETELAH AKAD NIKAH PERSPEKTIF HUKUM ISLAM
Authors: Maulana Yuda
Published: December 2023

The aim of this research is to find out and understand the urgency and consequences of reading the sighat taklik talak after the marriage contract in a marriage from an Islamic legal perspective. The research method used in this research is a qualitative research approach (Qualitative research), with a library method (Library research). The results and discussion of this research are that there is no legal basis that strictly requires the groom to pronounce the sighat taklik talak after the marriage ceremony, but rather it is a choice or voluntary choice on the part of the groom himself. However, if the divorce agreement has been agreed upon, it cannot be revoked. The existence of divorce taklik is a form of protection of the wife's rights against the husband's arbitrariness in the household. So the right to divorce which basically rests with the husband can also be owned by the wife if in the future the husband denies the contents of the divorce agreement. However, in order for the divorce to actually occur, the wife must report the matter to the Religious Court and pay iwadh as ransom for her husband so that it can then be processed and receive a decision from the judge that the divorce is due to the wife in the name of the husband.

An Efficient Method for Finding Improvements in Japanese Management Training Programs Using Text Mining
Authors: Hayashi Kyoko , Tsuda Kazuhiko
Published: December 2023

While changes in the business environment are accelerating, working life is lengthening as we enter an era of 100-year lifespans, making it necessary for working adults to continually improve their skills. Training for working professionals is becoming increasingly important, and educational institutions continuously strive to improve their training programs. However, it is difficult to efficiently extract important information from the vast number of participant satisfaction survey comments for the purpose of program improvement. In this study, we used text mining to examine how to efficiently retrieve important information from comment data of satisfaction surveys on management training programs in Japan. In general, a method for extracting dissatisfaction from the polarity of words in comments has been considered. Nonetheless, the analysis results confirmed that even when describing dissatisfaction or demands expressions, Japanese managers do not use straightforward expressions, but rather characteristic expressions. Based on an understanding of their politeness and considerate expressions, we learned that extracting and utilizing keywords from the comments of a small group was effective in efficiently detecting the overall dissatisfaction and demand expressions. It was also discovered that the same working adults used different words to express dissatisfaction and demands, depending on their job positions. Using these novel study findings, essential improvements can be efficiently explored from post-training satisfaction questionnaires, contributing to improving the quality of education for working adults in the future.

Published: December 2023

Costus igneus (Family: Costaceae) has been used by the aboriginal humans since long through oral route. In our laboratory, we used biodegradable polymer for release control of this transdermal patch. This transdermal patch could be affixed in the lower abdominal region which releases intraperitoneally after principal meals, twice a day; which could be terminated instantly by removing the patch externally. Our objective is Formulation, evaluation and statistical designing of a Transdermal patch containing ethnobotanical plant Costus igneus. As Transdermal Patch reduces can be removed when termination of treatment is necessary and it also has the capability to bypass the different chemical changes that a oral pill has to go through. The Macro-physico evaluation parameters were calculated. The folding endurance was in between of 7 to 16, the maximum value was of the FOPT, the Tensile strength was relatively similar in all the formulations. FOPT showed the highest of all. In percentage elongation test the FOPT showed good resilience, thickness was relatively acceptable for all the formulations. % moisture content and %moisture uptake was acceptable in all of the formulations showed a good and satisfiable range. The drug content was calculated according the total quercetin content taking pure quercetin API as the reference FOPT had the highest drug content of 82.5%. The Response Surface Curve predicted the optimised formulation and the desirability score also gives us our optimised patch. The Kinetics for the optimum by the optimization of transdermal patch was observed in all the different type of plots. The FOPT had a good linearity of 0.938 in regression co-efficient with Korsmeyer-Peppas Plot . It explains the release of drug’s material through a polymeric matrix system while also considering Non-Fickian drug release mechanism. The different Response Surface Curve allows us to predict from the software that the FOPT Formulation is the Gem of Ten. This would produce beneficial blood-sugar content reduction. If we can commercialise this Herbal Transdermal Patch then, it can be an innovation remedy for this chronic disease.

Published: December 2023

In this paper, the possibility of using the GTFS standard to describe the public transport (PT) stop infrastructure in Poland, was evaluated. It was also proposed to expand the existing GTFS file of the ZTM (PT authority) in Poznań to include a detailed description of a selected two-level tram stop. A testbed equipped with open source software was built and used for this purpose. The study showed that despite the fact that in Poland, PT organizers and operators do not provide detailed information on its accessibility to people with disabilities, the preparation of such information is possible, while modifications to the data generated so far may be required, especially regarding the stops. However, the preparation and updating of this data on a nationwide scale may pose a problem.

Enseñanza desde el Enfoque de Pensamiento Complejo para Escalar el Dominio de Competencias en Geometría y Trigonometría
Authors: González Morales Angélica
Published: December 2023

Los resultados derivados del Plan Nacional para la Evaluación de los Aprendizajes (PLANEA) en 2017, muestran que los estudiantes de Educación Media Superior (EMS) en México cuentan con conocimientos insuficientes de los aprendizajes clave incluidos en los referentes curriculares en el campo de Geometría y Trigonometría (GyT). Con el fin de atender esta problemática, se realizó una investigación con estudiantes de bachillerato, partiendo de la premisa que el tipo de estrategias de enseñanza son relevantes en el logro de las competencias. El objetivo de la investigación fue identificar la relación entre la enseñanza desde un enfoque de Pensamiento Complejo (PC) y la mejora en el logro de las competencias de aprendizaje en GyT, en temas de figuras planas y sólidos. La investigación tuvo un enfoque mixto, con alcance descriptivo y correlacional. Tras diseñar e implementar estrategias de enseñanza con enfoque en el PC y aplicar los diferentes instrumentos de evaluación, los resultados demostraron que no existe una correlación entre la enseñanza basada en el PC y el dominio de competencias, que la mejora de los aprendizajes que alcanzaron los 39 estudiantes del grupo de estudio responde a las estrategias de enseñanza dirigidas y centradas en el conocimiento más que aquellas basadas en el PC.

El artículo se enfoca en las posibilidades que ofrece la construcción cooperativa del hábitat como modelo para la reincorporación de los firmantes de paz en el posconflicto colombiano, tomando como caso de estudio el Antiguo Espacio Territorial de Capacitación y Reconciliación- AETCR de Tierra Grata en San José de Oriente- Cesar. A través de un trabajo académico que ha involucrado diferentes grupos de investigación en torno a la producción del hábitat mediante el diseño participativo, se indaga sobre los retos, las posibilidades, los instrumentos y las ventajas de construir espacios comunes, complementarios a la vivienda, para la Ciudadela de Paz en la vereda Tierra Grata en el Cesar, donde la comunidad encuentre escenarios de reincorporación a través del ejercicio cooperativo de producción arquitectónica, dando respuesta a la necesidad de establecerse en la vida civil, luego de la firma del acuerdo de paz en 2016. Mediante la propuesta de acompañamiento técnico desde la academia a las dinámicas cooperativas de la comunidad, se privilegiaron sus saberes y su capacidad asociativa como punto de partida para el diseño de la “Casa de materiales” como parte de las unidades productivas del ETCR, buscando aportar elementos que nutran las decisiones sobre la forma en que se ocupa el territorio en una nueva forma de habitar, con lo cual identifican los aspectos que pueden favorecer o por el contrario obstaculizar el proceso, verificando las bondades del modelo cooperativo y a la vez las barreras fruto de la falta de un modelo institucional que entienda y promueva las necesidades de la ruralidad tanto en el caso de la reincorporación, como en general para todos los territorios del país.

En los conflictos armados, la salud mental tanto individual como colectiva, tiene alto riesgo de verse afectada no sólo de forma inmediata sino también a mediano y largo plazo, es por ello por lo que esta investigación se desarrolló con el objetivo de identificar trastorno por estrés postraumático en excombatientes de las FARC – EP. Metodología: Investigación transversal analítica, desarrollada en 114 excombatientes de las Fuerza Armada Revolucionaria de Colombia, ejército del pueblo (FARC-EP), ubicados en el espacio territorial de capacitación y reincorporación (ETCR) en el departamento del Cesar, se programó un trabajo de campo multietápico donde se aplicó un cuestionario sociodemográfico en el que se indagó por aspectos como el sexo, edad, edad de ingreso a las FARC y, ocupación antes y durante el conflicto. Se aplicó la Escala de Gravedad de Síntomas del Trastorno de Estrés Postraumático (EGS-R). Resultados: De acuerdo con el análisis de los datos recogidos en las evaluaciones de trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT) con los 114 excombatientes que participaron en la investigación, se evidenciaron diferencias significativas en la sintomatología y severidad de TEPT. Se encontró asociación (OR 3,84 IC95% 1,73 - 8,51) entre la labor desempeñada dentro de las FARC-EP y los núcleos sintomáticos de Reexperimentación, evitación OR 1,15 (IC95% 1,02 - 1,28) Alteraciones Cognitivas OR 2,56 (IC95% 1,11 - 5,86) e hiper activación psicológica OR 10,2 (IC95% 2,29 - 45,6).
I bet you don’t look good on the dance floor: Re-examining the innovation policy dance metaphor in the case of Colombia
Authors: Centeno Juan Pablo , Pinzón-Camargo Mario A.
Published: December 2023

Innovation heuristics offer guidance on how to navigate through the complex dynamics of innovation governance. However, further discussion is needed on the premises of such analytical tools to inquire on their implications on innovation policy and practice. This paper builds on the innovation policy dance metaphor to better grasp the ever-changing interplays (or dance) between innovation practice (I), policy (P) and theory (T). We critically assess the basic underlying assumptions of this metaphor, by examining the extent to which its heuristic pretensions are relevant in the Latin American context. To do so, we explore three illustrative cases in Colombia, shedding light on some crosscutting opportunities and gaps for the dancing metaphor across different innovation I-P-T situations. Some derived lessons suggest that dancing occurs within and/or between different governance levels, where variables such as politics shape the innovation I-P-T interplay and time defines first and second order learning pathways.

Published: December 2023

This study describes the after-sales service and product quality of purchasing a Toyota Avanza in Deli Serdang. The theory used in this study includes the idea of after-sales service, product quality, and buying decisions. The population in this study were 50 Toyota Avanza car users who passed on Jalan Sutomo, Lubuk Pakam Deli Serdang. The data analysis model used is multiple linear regression analysis. The research method uses a quantitative descriptive approach supported by a survey and is explanatory.
The study results by testing the t-test hypothesis showed that after-sales service had a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions for the Toyota Avanza in Deli Serdang. Product quality has a positive and significant impact on buying decisions for the Toyota Avanza in Deli Serdang. The results of the F test show that after-sales service and product quality have a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions for the Toyota Avanza in Deli Serdang. The value of the coefficient of determination (R2) of after-sales service and product quality can explain the purchasing decision variables of 70.1%. The remaining 29.9% is influenced by other variables not examined in this study, such as price promotion and so on.
CORRELATION BETWEEN END-TIDAL CO2 AND ABGS PaCO2 IN NEONATES ON MECHANICAL VENTILATION

Published: December 2023

Monitoring arterial blood gases (ABGs) is essential for neonates requiring mechanical ventilation. End-tidal CO2 (EtCO2) emerges as a promising alternative for long-term monitoring due to its less intrusive and faster measurement. However, the relationship between EtCO2 and ABGs PaCO2 in mechanically ventilated neonates remains unclear. This study aims to ascertain the reliability of EtCO2 as a surrogate marker for ABGs PaCO2 in neonates on mechanical ventilation at Combine Military Hospital (CMH) Rawalpindi. This prospective observational study was conducted at CMH Rawalpindi between October 15, 2022, and July 15, 2023. The study included 100 neonates in the CMH Rawalpindi Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) requiring mechanical ventilation within the first 28 days of life. ABG blood samples were collected at predefined intervals, and capnography assessed EtCO2. The association between ABGs PaCO2 and EtCO2 was evaluated using Pearson's correlation coefficient. The study cohort comprised 52 male and 48 female neonates with an average age of 4.7 days, all undergoing mechanical ventilation. ABGs and EtCO2 were monitored for up to 24 hours, revealing a significant positive association between ABGs PaCO2 and EtCO2 (P < 0.01, Pearson's correlation value = 0.82). The Bland-Altman plot indicated a mean bias of -2.3 mmHg with limits of agreement from -8.1 to 3.5. The association remained consistent across age, sex, and respiratory distress severity. In neonates receiving mechanical ventilation at CMH Rawalpindi, EtCO2 and ABGs PaCO2 exhibit a positive correlation. EtCO2 emerges as a potentially reliable option for quick and less invasive monitoring of PaCO2 levels in this population.
URINARY TRACT INFECTION AND PPROM: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
Authors: KHAN N , IQBAL A
Published: December 2023

During pregnancy, urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common issue that can have severe short- and long-term fetal morbidity and death linked to premature membrane rupture and preterm birth. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the frequency of UTIs in patients with preterm rupture of membranes (PPROM). The study was conducted at the Gynae B unit of Mardan Medical Complex, Dardan, and lasted six months, from January 1, 2023, to August 1, 2023. After obtaining permission, the study included 103 patients with verified PPROM and singleton pregnancy who were hospitalized from the outpatient department or emergency room and had a parity 37 weeks before. Patients with intrauterine mortality, antepartum hemorrhage, or infection that needed immediate treatment were excluded from the study. A midstream urine specimen was obtained from each patient, and information was gathered on the midstream urine specimen outcomes for sensitivity and culture. In our study, the frequency of UTIs in PPROM patients was 20.4% (21 patients). The mean age of patients was 28.922±2.54 years, and the age range was 18 to 35. The mean gestational age was 31.718±1.37 weeks, and the mean parity was 1.534±1.37. Women who were multiparous (18.3%, p=0.00) and older than 30 (17.4%, p=0.00) had higher rates of UTI. Based on our study's findings, we conclude that there is a strong link between urogenital infections and premature birth, with 20.4% of patients with PPROM having a UTI. As a result, we recommend routine urine testing throughout pregnancy to promptly treat UTIs, mainly asymptomatic UTIs. To reduce the prevalence of PPROM and the resulting morbidity and death in mothers and fetuses, repeated culture monitoring must be conducted.

This study aimed to examine general practitioners' knowledge, practices, and attitudes regarding irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The study was designed as a cross-sectional study conducted at the Department of Medicine MTI, LRH Hospital Peshawar, between February 2021 and August 2021. A total of 200 general practitioners working in various clinics and hospitals were included in the study. Gastroenterologists and medical experts were excluded. Non-probability convenient sampling was used to select the participants. After obtaining their consent, the participants were asked to complete a questionnaire about their knowledge, practices, and attitudes towards IBS. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 28. Frequencies and percentages were used for categorical data, while mean and standard deviation were used for quantitative data. The Chi-Square test was applied to test the significance of the p-value, which was set at 0.05 or less. The respondents' mean age was 36 years, with an equal male-to-female ratio. More than half of the general practitioners (56%) were from rural regions, while the rest were from metropolitan areas. The knowledge questions were scored using true, false, and don't know options. 43% of respondents believed that IBS is a genetic illness, while 26% disagreed, and 33% were unsure. 51% of respondents thought that only women have IBS, while 33% disagreed, and 20% were unsure. 51% of the participants believed that IBS is a potentially fatal illness, while 27% disagreed, and 22% were unsure. When asked about their practices related to IBS management, 58% said they consistently took the prescribed drugs, while 42% did not. 64% said they avoided gluten-containing foods, while 36% did not. 51% of the respondents said they practiced yoga, while 49% did not. The comments of the participants regarding their views towards IBS were also recorded. A significant correlation was found between the participant's answers to the question, "Do you think your everyday life is less influenced now that you are following your doctor's advice about nutrition, lifestyle, and medications?" (p-value=0.04). The study found that the general practitioners had a sufficient degree of knowledge about IBS, which is essential for proper referral and treatment by qualified medical professionals and subject matter specialists.
