ملخص البحث

لقد لاحظ الباحثان من خلال تجربتهما التدريسية أن عددًا هائلًا من الطلبة يرتكبون أخطاء لغوية في التعبيرين الشفهي والكتابي، وأن الباعث الأساسي لهذه الأخطاء هو التعدد اللغوي الذي يؤدي إلى نقل الخبرات اللغوية المكتسبة من لغة ما إلى مجال تعلّمهم اللغة الثانية، ومن ثمّ يشُمّ الباحثان رائحة عدم تنبّه الكثيرين من متعلّمي اللغة الثانية لحقيقة خطيرة جدًا تتمثل في كون اللغة في تصرفاتها عرفية اعتباطية لا منطقية، ومن خلال تلك الملحوظة حُددت المشكلة التي تتعرض لها هذه المقالة، وهي القيام بدراسة تحليلة لمثل تلك الأخطاء، والكشف عن هذه الحقيقة التي يجهلها الكثير من متعلمي اللغة الثانية، وتكمن أهمية هذه الدراسة في كونها تساعد في الكشف عن مواطن الضعف لدى الطلبة، ومن ثمّ العمل على تقويمها وعلاجها، واقتضت طبيعة هذه الدراسة الاعتماد على المنهجين الوصفي التحليلي، وخلُصت المقالة إلى نتائج منها أن ضعف المستوى من قبل مدرّسي اللغات، وعدم معرفة المنهج الأمثل لتعليم اللغات يؤثّر سلبًا على تعلّم وتعليم اللغات، وختامًا يقترح الباحثان إجراء مزيد من البحوث اللغوية في مجال تعلّم وتعليم اللغات، ففي الحقيقة لا يزال المجال بحاجة إلى مزيد من البحوث الـمواكبة لتطورات العصر.

Abstract

The two researchers have noticed through their teaching experience that a large number of students make linguistic errors in the oral and written expressions, and that the main motive for these errors is the multilingualism that leads to the transfer of linguistic experiences gained from a language to the field of their second language learning (Arabic Language) , and  the researchers notified a lot of lack of Many second language learners have alerted to a very dangerous fact that the language in its behavior is customary, arbitrary, not logical, and through this remark the problem that this article is exposed to, which is to conduct an analytical study of such errors, and reveal this fact that many language learners are ignorant of second language. The importance of this study it’s to helps and reveal the students' weaknesses, and then work to evaluate and treat them, and the nature of this study required reliance on the descriptive and analytical approaches, and the article concluded with results, including that the poor level of language teachers, and the lack of knowledge of the optimal approach to teaching Languages ​​negatively affect the learning and teaching of languages, and in conclusion the two researchers suggest conducting more linguistic research in the field of learning and teaching languages, in fact the field still needs more research to keep pace with the developments of the times.

Abstract

The researcher has found many Indonesian words that are derived from the Arabic language in the Aceh-Indonesian dictionary. Therefore, the researcher sees the possibility of teaching Arabic to the Indonesian beginners with these words. Using the analytical descriptive method the researcher finds and gathers these Indonesian words that are derived from the Arabic language from the Aceh-Indonesian dictionary from the word “Ka,bah” to the word “Nujum”, then describes these words according to their changes in meaning after entering the Indonesian language, then uses these words to create a suggested curriculum used for teaching Arabic.  The researcher reached a result: that there are 152  words that are derived from the Arabic language from the the Aceh-Indonesian dictionary from the word “Ka,bah” to the word “Nujum”. And these words are divided into parts based on their changes in meaning, those that have unchanged meanings, those which have a wider meaning, those which have narrowed meanings, and those which have changed meanings. Also there is the possibility of creating a curriculum in teaching Arabic from these words by putting these words in conversations and Arabic literature. Then it’s the teachers turn to explain the vocabularies.

Authors: Kurniawati Hidayatul , Afifatul Latifah
Published: June 2022

Background: The high rate of baby births in Indonesia increase in population each year. Family planning is a way to regulate the number of children and birth spacing between children with contraception. Injection and pill contraceptives are hormonal contraceptives. However, the use of contraceptives has an impact on weight gain, nausea, vomiting, headaches, and swollen feet. Dusun Kepuk is one of the villages in the Bangsri sub-district with the domination used of hormonal contraception compared to other methods, and the side effects of using this hormonal contraceptive method are not known. The aim of the research was to determine the relationship between the use of hormonal contraceptives and changes in the menstrual cycle in Kepuk Village, Bangsri District, Jepara Regency.

Methods: This was non-experimental research with a cross-sectional design conducted in Kepuk Village, Bangsri District, Jepara Regency. The population in this study were acceptors who used hormonal contraception (pills and injections). The samples were taken with purposive sampling based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. This study used a questionnaire to obtain information from respondents. The data were analyzed using the SPSS chi-square correlation test.

Results: Most respondents with 3 months of injected contraceptives suffer a disrupted menstrual cycle, as many as 51 respondents (71.8%). The Chi-Square test result p = 0.001 show that there is a relationship between the use of hormonal contraceptives and the menstrual cycle.

Conclusion: The use of hormonal contraception is associated with changes in the menstrual cycle changes in Kepuk Village, Bangsri District, Jepara Regency.

Authors: Anandi Aldeno Wahyu , Etriyel MYH  , Yevri Zulfiqar
Published: June 2022

Background: Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common pathological condition that contributes to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men. Alpha1-blockers are recommended as first-line therapy for LUTS due to BPH (LUTS-BPH). Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5-I) inhibitors, which have been used as first-line therapy for erectile dysfunction, have also been found to be effective in treating LUTS-BPH. However, the appropriate combination therapy strategy is still unclear until now.

Methods: This study used an experimental design on 17 BPH patients on medical therapy. The patient was given Tamsulosin 0.4 mg monotherapy for 7 days and then continued combination therapy with Tamsulosin 0.4 mg and Tadalafil 5 mg for the next 7 days. Total IPSS score, obstruction, irritation, and quality of life (QoL) were assessed before treatment, after monotherapy, and after combination therapy.

Results: The mean age of the research subjects was 62.12 years. Improvements in the total IPSS value, obstruction, irritation, and QoL showed significant changes in both types of therapy compared to the initial value. Combination therapy gave better results than monotherapy, with a mean difference in the decrease in the total IPSS value of 4.41 (p<0.001), obstruction of 3.18 (p<0.001), irritation of 1.41 (p<0.001), and QoL 0.6 (p<0.001).

Conclusion: The combination therapy of Tamsulosin 0.4 mg with Tadalafil 5 mg once a day showed clinically and significantly better results than monotherapy in total IPSS, obstruction, irritation, and QoL values in LUTS-BPH patients.

Authors: Alhamda Syukri , Jon Efendi  , Budi Pratama Arnofyan
Published: June 2022

Background: Perforation of the appendix can lead to life-threatening complications. Early identification of a perforation before surgery has important clinical implications. Hyponatremia was previously proposed as a marker to differentiate between perforated and non-perforated acute appendicitis. This study aims to determine the role of sodium levels as a predictive factor in the incidence of perforated appendicitis in children at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang.

Methods: This research is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. The research took place from March to May 2022 at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang. Samples were taken by consecutive sampling with criteria aged 0-18 years and diagnosed with acute appendicitis at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang.

Results: A total of 112 samples with most of the patients (52.7%) aged 6-11 years and found a greater proportion of men (57.1%). Most of the patients underwent laparotomy procedures (57.2%). Hyponatremia was found in 58% of patients. Perforation occurred in most (59.8%) patients. SPSS results showed a significant difference between the incidence of hyponatremia in perforated and non-perforated appendicitis with a p-value <0.001.

Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between sodium levels and the incidence of perforation, where the lower the sodium level, the higher the incidence of perforation.

Published: June 2022

Globally, monitoring and evaluation have taken centre stage in the development process. This is due to the fact that without measuring progress and performance, organisations may not know whether they are achieving. It has been observed over the years that Muslim-founded educational institutions have suffered performance issues the world over. In Uganda, it has been noted that Muslim-founded primary schools attempt to involve School Management Committees during monitoring activities. However, the report of BMDC (2018) indicates that the performance of Government Aided Muslim-founded Primary Schools was wanting. This study premised on Osborne and Gaebler’s (1992) constructs of monitoring, aimed at investigating the contribution of monitoring principles adhered to by the SMCs on the performance of Government Aided Muslim-founded Primary Schools in Uganda, taking the case of BMDC. A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was adopted for this study, with quantitative and qualitative data approaches, while linear regression was used to obtain the magnitude of the contribution of monitoring principles to the performance of primary schools under BMDC. The study found out that the monitoring principles adhered to by the SMC were wanting and, therefore, may have affected the performance of the schools. The study concluded that monitoring principles strongly contributed positively to the performance of the Muslim-founded Primary Schools. It is as such recommended that BMDC needs to establish an M&E framework which would ably inform monitoring principles for the SMCs.

Published: June 2022

The lack of posyandu cadres who have expertise in health sciences causes the health promotion process to be less effective. This is because human resources do not have the knowledge and skills in health promotion. In addition, the cadres of the Banjar Teges Kanginan Posyandu, Peliatan Village have never received training on COVID-19 prevention. The media used in health promotion also tend to be monotonous, only using loudspeakers which are used for socialization around the Teges Kanginan Traditional Village. This shows that the process of health promotion takes place in a monotonous and less innovative way. Based on the description above, there are two problems that will be given a solution, namely the knowledge aspect of digital literacy-based health promotion and the skill aspect of digital-based health promotion. The solutions given related to the above problems are providing training and assistance in making health promotion media based on digital literacy, communication and public speaking, using and how to make hand sanitizers and disinfectants, training and mentoring on how to wash hands properly and correctly. The output target in the implementation of this devotion to the community is that the cadres of the Banjar Posyandu Teges Kanginan have the knowledge and skills of digital literacy-based health promotion. The results of this activities is implementation are as follows. (1) There is an increase in the knowledge of posyandu cadres related to digital literacy-based Health promotion. (2) there is an increase in the skills of posyandu cadres about conducting clean and healthy lifestyle, especially making handsanitizers. The high interest of posyandu cadres in improving public health, especially using health promotion based on digital literacy, it is necessary to hold further training and coaching related to the implementation of digital literacy in promoting public health

Published: June 2022

Nutritional knowledge plays an important role in shaping the mindset of choosing the type and amount of food consumed. A person with good nutritional knowledge is expected to pay attention to the nutritional state of each food he consumes. Unhealthy eating habits in choosing types of food can also have an impact on nutritional status problems. Nutritious food is not expensive and delicious food, but one that has a balanced nutritional value for the body. The food counseling with balanced nutrition for adolescents aims to provide information and knowledge to adolescents at SMK Erlangga. The result of this activity was that 96.39% of students understood the counseling material on balanced nutrition. This is good because it adds insight to students in order to find out optimal nutritional needs and improve daily eating patterns.

CEGAH KANKER PAYUDARA SEJAK REMAJA DENGAN MENERAPKAN PEMERIKSAAN PAYUDARA SENDIRI (SADARI)
Authors: Yanti Ni Luh Gede Puspita
Published: June 2022

Kanker payudara merupakan kanker penyebab paling umum kematian perempuan. Data empiris menunjukkan prevalensi kanker meningkat seiring bertambahnya usia, namun usia muda tidak menjamin aman dari kanker payudara. Tujuan kegiatan ini untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan remaja mengenai pencegahan kanker payudara sejak dini sehingga meningkatkan kesadaran untuk melakukan SADARI secara teratur. Metode yang digunakan diawali dengan pretest pengetahuan dan sikap remaja terkait kanker payudara dan tindakan SADARI. Tahap kedua yaitu pemaparan informasi, demonstrasi dan praktek cara melakukan SADARI menggunakan media video, kegiatan dilaksanakan secara daring. Tahap akhir melakukan posttest menggunakan kuesioner yang sama dengan pretest. Hasil kegiatan diperoleh rata-rata pengetahuan pretest yaitu 62 menjadi 79 saat posttest, dengan hasil uji Wilcoxon didapatkan p value 0,001 artinya terdapat perbedaan pengetahuan sebelum dan sesudah pemberian pendidikan kesehatan. Nilai rata-rata sikap remaja pretest yaitu 73,2 menjadi 77,4 saat postets, dengan hasil uji Wilcoxon didapatkan p value 0,01 artinya terdapat perbedaan sikap sebelum dan sesudah pemberian pendidikan kesehatan. Hasil uji Chi Square didapatkan p-value 0,426, artinya, tidak ada hubungan antara mendapatkan penyuluhan dengan pelaksanaan tindakan SADARI pada remaja.  Paparan informasi tidak dapat dilakukan hanya satu kali tanpa adanya tindak lanjut, semakin sering seseorang terpapar informasi maka akan semakin meningkat pemahamannya sehingga akan berpengaruh pada sikap dan tindakannya.
Side Resistance of Drilled Shafts in Weak Fine Grained Sedimentary Rock
Authors: Stark Timothy
Published: June 2022

Load transfer mechanism in side resistance of rock socketed drilled shafts has been studied for the past four decades using results of axial load tests and theoretical methods. Various models for prediction of side resistance have been proposed. Only few studies (e.g., Horvath et al. 1983; Rowe and Armitage 1987; Hassan et al. 1997, Miller 2003, Abu-Hejleh et al. 2003) have been completed on socket side resistance of drilled shafts in weathered and fractured fine-grained rock. These studies, however, were based on only a limited number of load test data. A survey of current predictive models has been conducted. This survey shows most of the current models include strong and intact rocks in their databases. Almost all of the current models use a power function to correlate side resistance of rock socket to rock unconfined compressive strength. A database of side resistance of large diameter drilled shafts in only weak fine-grained rocks, such as, weak shales, mudstones, and siltstones (i.e., Intermediate Geomaterial first introduced by O’Neil et al. 1996, Hassan et al. 1997, and O’Neill and Reese 1999) has been complied in this study. The range of weak rocks considered herein corresponds to an unconfined compressive strength of 0.48 to 4.8 MPa. Analysis of this database shows that a linear model best predicts the side resistance of drilled shafts in weak fine-grained sedimentary rocks.
Cytokines and pregnancy complications: modulation for prevention and treatment
Authors: Raghupathy Raj
Published: June 2022

“There is many a slip twist the cup and the lip” is a proverb that dates back to the 3rd century. This proverb comes to mind while writing a review on pregnancy loss; so many complications can occur between fertilization and development of the embryo through the long period of gestation until successful delivery of the baby. These include failure of implantation of the embryo, spontaneous miscarriage in the first trimester, pre-eclampsia in the second trimester, premature rupture of fetal membranes, pre-term labour, and pre-term delivery. The maternal immune system which does a phenomenal job of protecting the host from a daunting variety of infections, sometimes also mounts adverse reactions that complicate pregnancy and endanger the fetus. Maternal immune reactions that can adversely affect pregnancy have been shown to be mediated by lymphocytes, macrophages and natural killer cells, and by cytokines secreted by these cellular effectors. This review summarizes the deleterious effects of cytokines leading to recurrent spontaneous miscarriage, pre-eclampsia and pre-term delivery, which are the major complications of pregnancy. It then goes on to discuss the potential use of progesterone and dydrogesterone, an orally-administered progestogen, as immunomodulatory molecules that can be considered for the prevention and/or treatment of these complications.
Pyogenic liver abscess: contrast-enhanced ultrasound allows morpho-evolutive classification and guides personalized management
Authors: Francica Giampiero
Published: June 2022

Aim: The aim of this study is to propose a contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)-based morphologic classification of pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) reflecting different evolutive stages and to assess the added value of CEUS in the management of PLA.
Methods: Forty-four PLAs of different etiologies in 44 patients (male/female = 24/20; mean age 66 ± 14.7 years) were evaluated with ultrasound (US) B-mode and CEUS (using SonoVue). PLAs were mainly located in the right lobe (n = 28, 63.6%) with a mean diameter of 6.8 cm [standard deviation (SD) ± 3.2, range 1.7–15 cm]. Conventional US findings were categorized as the presence and extension of liquified areas, echogenicity and echostructure of the index lesion. Peripheral hyperenhancing rim, transient segmental enhancement, hyperenhancing septa and “honeycomb” aspect were considered PLA hallmarks in the arterial phase after contrast agent injection. CEUS results were judged as clinically relevant if they modified the approach to percutaneous treatment in comparison with pre-operative US B-mode findings.
Results: CEUS was superior to US B-mode as to depiction of PLA internal echostructure and enabled identification of 4 evolutive stages of PLA: type I (tumor-like), type II (“honeycomb”), type III (multiloculated with incomplete septa), and type IV (cystic-like). In 22 cases (67.4%) out of 34 who underwent percutaneous treatment, the operator tailored percutaneous approach according to PLA internal echostructure observed during CEUS exam.
Conclusions: CEUS depicts the internal structure of PLA so allowing a morpho-evolutive classification of PLA and provides invaluable information for immediately tailoring the management to the single case. By showing the structure of PLA more precisely, CEUS allows a morpho-evolutive PLA classification and guides tailored management in the single case.
Is it Worth Getting a Doctorate?
Authors: Polónyi István
Published: June 2022

PhD training is part of the global education competition. The number of doctoral students per 100,000 people is a feature that moves together with the scientific performance of a country. Thus, doctoral training is an important element of a country’s innovation, in which Hungary is lagging behind. We assume that the main reason for the limited amount of doctoral students in Hungary is the low level of individual demand for training which, in turn, is due to the fact that the academic career of doctoral students promises low earnings compared to the placement of university graduates in other spheres. The earnings test and life earnings analysis presented by the study support this assumption: the earnings of those entering academically qualified academic careers are significantly lower than those of graduates working in the corporate sector. Though there are limitations present which impede the generalizability of these results, it does call to attention important trends to be acknowledged in future research.

Dual Career through the Analysis of Policy Documents: A Case Study Focusing on Athletics
Authors: Olah David , Nyisztor Petra , Borbely Szilvia , Bognar Jozsef
Published: June 2022

Careers can be influenced by several factor groups: opportunities provided by (1) the environment, (2) ambition, and (3) personal aptitude (Juhász & Matiscsákné Lizák, 2014). In the case of a dual career in sports, an athlete’s career is not limited to sports only, but also can include education. It is worthwhile for sportsmen to learn alongside their athletic career. For, a sporting career can come to an end at any time due to any unexpected event (Baráth et al., 2014). This dual career’s success depends heavily on the people in the athlete’s immediate environment. In our research, we used a qualitative method to conduct a content analysis of policy documents and semi-structured interviews with Olympians of three countries, one from Slovenia, one from Germany, and one from Hungary. We divided up our investigation into questions related to funding, professional background and studies. Their opinions showed that all three athletes are satisfied with the support they receive for their current dual careers, with only the Slovenian athlete feeling a slight deficiency. They have successfully combined their studies and sport, and all three have attended or are currently attending higher education. It can be concluded that all sport policy efforts show the potential for dual career assistance with a focus on self-efficacy. No differences can be found in the expectations of these elite athletes, and all feel the need to continue their studies in addition to sporting, regardless of whether or not it coincides with their previous studies. As regards the need to continue studying, the Slovenian athlete felt the least need. This degree of “need” does not affect the performance of the athletes in their respective sports, as all of them love sports. All receive adequate funding as well. In all three countries studied, we found such a level of support for the athlete that ought to be held up as ‘good practice’. The German competitor in particular possesses such professional staff that we would highlight and recommend it as good practice to follow.
Assessing the Role of the Coach in Terms of Dropping out from Youth Sports
Authors: Szakál Zsolt
Published: June 2022

Much of international research deals with the subject, so we can say that probably one of the most important issues in the field of youth education today is to explore the causes of early drop-out from organised sport. The aim of this essay was to test our self developed measurement tool and gain insight into what coaches see as causes of dropping out within their own sport and what percentage of this phenomenon is experienced in their field. The main question for us is, why junior athletes between the age of 13–16 are dropping out of competitive sports, what role the coach’s personality has (in this), and what other reasons might the phenomenon have. In our enquiry, we sought to find out the opinion of coaches of team sports such as handball, football or icehockey, in addition to individual sports, like athletics and karate. In the research, we used only certain parts of the interviews during the analysis, paying special attention to the coaching attitude, the coach-athlete relationship, and the ways of motivation and methods used by the coach. The results confirmed that the causes of dropout should be sought for in the dimensions which we set up earlier. In the respect of the exploratory nature of the study, we cannot draw far-reaching conclusions, but we certainly consider it as a good starting point for our further research.
Digital Diet and Relevant Minority Aspects during Home Preschool Education
Authors: Barabási Tünde , Stark Gabriella Mária
Published: June 2022

The aim of the present research is to provide an outline of the home education situation of Hungarian children enrolled in educational institutions in Romania. The research focuses on the perspective of early childhood teachers and education experts. Our objective is to identify the factors influencing the digital diet in minority preschool education and investigate whether this phenomenon, along with practices in home education, have specific distinguishing features as compared to trends in mainstream education. Approaches to digital diet and preschoolers’ use of digital tools are basic components of our interpretative framework. We set out to investigate this pedagogical phenomenon in the light of minority education, considering the educational situation in dispersed and block regions. Our descriptive study, built on a questionnaire (own design), presents the good practices in home education focusing specifically on minority aspects. Our sample consisted of 403 early childhood teachers and 14 minority education experts resulting from convenience sampling. The investigation reveals a more liberal home education style. According to experts, the national regulatory framework for home education gives rise to conflicting interpretations and specific minority provisions and recommendations are less straightforward. During home education, the proportion of the areas of development and that of learning content is distorted, and the language of instruction as a factor influencing the digital diet becomes especially prominent. Research results did not focus primarily on the minority features of home education and the digital diet but rather on regional and local distinguishing features.

Authors: Subandowo Dedy
Published: June 2022

Students enrolled in a higher level of education may face challenges in producing assignments, including writing an essay. They need to present appropriate linguistic features in the text to demonstrate their writing quality. Comparing linguistic features during university study is one fundamental aspect of administering writing quality and showing student writing development. The topic presented in this study describes an initial statistical analysis and the frequency of linguistic features in the texts produced by Indonesian graduate students enrolled at Hungarian universities. This study proposed two research questions: 1) How frequently do pre-selected linguistic features appear in the texts of Indonesian graduate students? 2) How do these features appear in a paired T-test statistical analysis? Seven MSc and MA graduate students took part in the study to meet the goal. They are students at three different universities in Hungary, which all have a Social Science Faculty. During their second-year studies, fourteen essays with a minimum text length of 2000 words were collected. The findings revealed an increase in conjunctions, adjectives, abstract nouns, concrete nouns, noun phrases, expanded noun phrases, active verbs, verb phrases, and passive forms. Meanwhile, the frequency of linguistic features such as prepositions, definite articles, indefinite articles, noun clauses, adverbial clauses, and adjective clauses decreased. In addition, both the rise of nine linguistic features and the decrease of six features in the second semester are not statistically significant.

AbstractBackground: Fractures of distal humerus represent one of the most complicated and challenging fractures in the upperextremity. These are rare fractures. Most fractures involve the joint surface, significant proportions are open, and thecomplex three-dimensional geometry of the distal humerus poses a considerable challenge to reconstruction.Objectives: To study the treatment of fracture distal end humerus with open reduction and internal fixation with plateosteosynthesisMethods: A prospective study of 15 consecutive cases of intercondylar fractures of humerus treated by open reductionand internal fixation over two and half years was conducted. These included 12 fresh cases and 3 old cases. Case wisedetailed study was done in 12 cases by noting the age, sex social status, nature of violence and the duration of injury,information regarding medical problems and any local problems, in relation to bone and joint.Results: At follow up, patients were assessed clinically and radiologically, most patients regained fair to good range ofmotion obtained in 3 months time fracture was united in an average of a 10 weeks and olecranon osteotomy in an averageof 8 weeks. Patients were followed up for an average of 9 months, excellent results were found in five cases (33.33%).Good results in five cases(33.33%) and fair results were obtained in three (20%) cases, poor results in two cases(13.33%)Conclusion: Comminuted fractures of distal humerus in the hands of competent surgeon with open reduction, anatomicassemblage and internal fixation of the fragments offer better results in majority of the cases. In young patients the resultsare good and in old patients results fair probably because of good physiotherapy in young and also cartilage changes limitthe functional outcome in the old. Physiotherapy has a great role in the outcome of functional result.
Disability Adjusted Life Year (DALY) loss in open tibia fracture treated with External vs Internal fixation
Authors: Bhukya Tejkumar
Published: June 2022

Background: Tibial fractures are the most prevalent long bone fractures, with around a quarter of them being open. Dueto the tibial shaft’s lack of soft tissue covering and blood flow, managing these fractures can be difficult. The degree ofinitial bone displacement, comminution, and soft tissue injuries all influence the prognosis.Objectives: To compare the loss of DALY in open tibia fracture patients treated with external versus internal fixation.Methods: 50 patients with open tibia fractures – 25 patients treated with external fixation and 25 patients with internalfixation. On admission, demographic information was collected, and a comprehensive history was conducted to determinethe mode of injury and any co-morbidities. To examine other connected injuries and open wounds, a general systemicand local examination was performed, followed by radiological evaluation in AP and Lateral views. After the diagnosishas been established, the patient was informed of the fracture and the necessity for surgery. The consent is obtained, andpre-operative planning is done. The mean DALY was calculated based on the union of fracture.Results: External fixation resulted in an average DALY loss of 8.40 months, while internal fixation resulted in a DALY lossof 4.9 months. When compared to External Fixation, Internal Fixation clinical union occurs in a significantly shorter time.Conclusion: The outcome of the study shows that Internal fixation outperformed External fixation in terms of DALY loss,with External fixation losing considerably more DALYs than Internal fixation.

Published: June 2022

Background: The Pre-pregnancy body weight and the haemoglobin percentage are two important parameters whichdetermine and influence the maternal and fetal outcome. The fetal weight gain during pregnancy is about 9-12 kgs inIndian conditions. The maternal body composition is dependent on many factors like genetic, constitutional, racial,socioeconomic and nutritional factorsObjectives: To study the effects of maternal body composition and haemoglobin percentage at term gestation on labourand neonatal outcomeMethods: A total of 150 patients were taken into study. Gestational age was calculated from LMP and by early Ultra-soundExamination. Patient’s haemoglobin was measured by spectrophotometric method. The following set of measurementswere taken by single examiner. Maternal nutritional anthropometric measurements were taken, two to three days beforeEDD or after completion of 38 weeks by USG.Results: Around 49% of the mothers belonged to the group 3 and a significant(35.32%) no. of mothers had HB% levels of<9. This indicates the nutritional status of the pregnant women in our population. All the parameters were significantlycorrelated with HB% when comparison is made between severely anaemic and non- anaemic group.Conclusion: The young, illiterate women belonging to lower socioeconomic status have poor dietary intake as evidencedby lower fat free mass, fat mass, ANW, BMI and HB%. They showed adverse pregnancy out comes as evidenced byhigh prevalence of low birth weight babies, lower mean birth weight, lower Ponderal index and lower APGAR scorescompared to non-anaemic women.

Background: With the advent of Covid[5], it became very difficult to cater to the 1.7 billion[6] students whose educationwas on a technical hold. With the online classes around it became difficult for the students to imbibe certain basic conceptsof knowlede and they had to instead mug-up a lot of portions. All these also led to a deviation from the normal teacherstudentrelationship. As a consequence it affected the grades a student obtained during the time of lockdown.Hence thisstudy with the ojectives to assess the psychological impact of lockdown on students,comparative assement of studentsbefore and during lockdown and the pattern of reading from home and college is of significance.Methodology: A cross sectional study was done for a period of one month on medical students for “ComparativeAssessment of medical students before and during lockdown.”The students were selected by convenience sampling. Apretested semi structured questionnaire was sent through whatsapp and the data collected.It was entered in MicrosoftExcel sheet,analysed using SPSS version 25 and findings were represented in the form of figures and tables.Conclusion: Even though the number of students gaining first class and second class marks have increased during theperiod of lockdown,the number of students securing distinction has considerably fallen.Many felt that their reading is farbetter when at hostel and in the presence of companions in the college campus and with the teacher-student relationshiparound with in room classes.As a matter of fact majority of them wanted to come back to campus as soon as possible andresume normal in-room classes.

Pelvic organ prolapse is a common gynecological problem in developing countries, but pelvic organ prolapse occurrencein pregnancy is a rare phenomenon. We present a case series of pelvic organ prolapse during pregnancy. All four caseswere treated conservatively. Half of the patients had cesarean sections and the other half delivered vaginally. One ofthe cases of cesarean section was done in view of cervical dystocia. Of the four cases, half presented with early ruptureof membranes. There was one patient who delivered prematurely at 36 weeks of gestation. The postnatal period wasuneventful and the prolapse regressed in all patients spontaneously.

Introduction: MBBS students during rotational clinical postings run the risk of being colonised by critical hospitalpathogens such as Methicillin-resistant staphylococci (MRSA and MRCoNS). Methods: This study was conducted on150 undergraduate MBBS students from August to September 2018 to determine prevalence of nasal colonization rates ofMRSA /MRCoNS in them. One sterile cotton tipped swab per student was used to collect specimen from the anterior nares.This was inoculated on 5 % Sheep Blood agar. Isolated suspected Staphylococci colonies were speciated and Methicillinresistance was determined by disc diffusion tests as per standard protocols. Overall prevalence of MRCoNS (22%) amongstudents was significantly higher compared to MRSA(4%). MRCoNS colonisation was also significantly higher in clinicgoing students. Conclusion: Compared to MRSA, little information is available on epidemiology of CoNS/MRCoNSamong healthcare workers as these bacteria are considered harmless commensals. Findings of this study suggest thatthose involved in patient care including medical students may be carriers of MRCoNS similar to MRSA and could bepotential sources of infection to vulnerable patients.
