Authors: Patel Alpesh R. , Patel Vipul S. , Patel Parth R.
Published: May 2020

Background: Iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy is a serious global concern specially in developing country, which is preventable with effective measures. In women who cannot tolerate oral iron or have moderate to severe anemia, parenteral iron in the form of iron sucrose or ferric carboxymaltose can be very much useful. This study aimed to compare efficacy and safety of iron sucrose and ferric carboxymaltose in iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy.Methods: This prospective interventional comparative study was conducted during May 2016 to April 2018 at tertiary care hospital and total 100 antenatal women from 28 to 34 weeks of gestation having moderate to severe anemia were included in this study and all women were divided in to 2 groups randomly and were given either iron sucrose or ferric carboxymaltose according to iron requirement. Rise in haemoglobin and serum ferritin were noted and data analysed statistically.Results: The mean rise of haemoglobin with iron sucrose was 1.8 gm% and with ferric carboxymaltose was 2.6 gm%. The mean rise of serum ferritin with iron sucrose was 82.4 ng/ml and with ferric carboxymaltose was 100.9 ng/ml. Other than minimal local reaction one woman had developed severe anaphylactic reaction after receiving iron sucrose.Conclusions: Intravenous ferric carboxymaltose is better and safe molecule than iron sucrose and it has advantage of ability to administer large dose in single sitting which reduce overall cost of therapy.  Hence ferric carboxymaltose is a drug of choice as parenteral iron therapy in iron deficiency anemia during second trimester of pregnancy.

Background: Oligohydramnios has got a noteworthy influence on perinatal outcome. Hence, early detection and its timely management will aid in curtailing of perinatal morbidity and mortality and leading to decreased operative interventions. Therefore, the present study is conducted to look for the effects of oligohydramnios.Methods: This comparative study was a prospective observational study conducted at study institution. The women were divided into study and control groups based on AFI (amniotic fluid index), 100 cases were selected in each group.Results: Out of the 200 women, included in the present study, 35% of the patients in the study group had non-reactive non-stress test (NST) while in the control group 7% had it. Caesarean section was performed in 58% of cases in the study group as compared to 30% in the control group. Amongst these, Fetal distress was the most common indication for LSCS (lower segment caesarean section). There were no perinatal deaths in this study.Conclusions: Based on this study it has been observed that, amniotic fluid index of ≤5 cm was commonly associated with increased LSCS rates, intrauterine growth restriction, non-reactive NST, and abnormal Doppler velocimetry studies. Therefore, every case of oligohydramnios requires to be assessed meticulously. Prompt detection; timely management and treating the underlying condition improve outcome.

Background: To compare the efficacy of transcervical foley’s catheter with intracervical PGE2 gel for pre -induction cervical ripening.Methods: It was a prospective interventional study conducted between April 2012 to April 2013 in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at L. L. R. M. medical college and S. V. B. P. hospital Meerut. A total of 80 pregnant women of ≥28 weeks of gestation with bishop score less than or equal to 4 and with various indications for induction of labour were randomly allocated to receive intracervical PGE2 gel (Group A) or transcervical foley’s catheter (Group B). Bishop score was repeated after 6 hours by the same person and the results were compared.Results: The groups were comparable with respect to maternal age, gestational age, indications of induction of labour and initial bishop’s score. The intragroup results were calculated by Wilcoxon signed rank test and intergroup results were calculated by Mann Whitney U-test. The change in bishop score in PGE2 group was 3 and in foley’s group was 3.25 after 6 hours of induction (interquartile range of median) which is significant. The mean change in bishops score was 2.65 in PGE2 group and 3.1 in foley’s group after 6 hours of induction and was significant, however the bishop’s score was comparable in both the groups and statistically insignificant.Conclusions: Both foley’s catheter and PGE2 gel are equally effective in pre-induction cervical ripening of cervix.
Caesarean myomectomy in a case of bad obstetric history and multiple fibroids: a case report
Authors: Nahar Kirty , Nahar Nikita
Published: May 2020

Uterine myomas are being observed in pregnancy more frequently now than in the past, because many women are delaying child bearing till their late thirties, which is the time for the greatest risk of the myoma growth. Traditionally, obstetricians are trained to avoid myomectomies during caesarean sections as severe haemorrhages can occur, which may often necessitate hysterectomies. Pedunculated fibroids which can be easily removed are an exception. A 38-year-old, elderly female, G3 A2, 37 weeks pregnancy with bad obstetric history and multiple fibroids was admitted in Apollo Hospitals, Ahmedabad. She underwent high risk caesarean section followed by myomectomy. Four large and one small fibroid were removed. One posterior wall intramural fibroid 6×5 cm was lower down, hence not removed. Histopathological examination showed leiomyomata with degenerative changes, infarct and calcification. She didn’t have any intraoperative haemorrhage or any postpartum complications. On follow up after 6 weeks, patient was healthy, had no complaints. Caesarean scar was healthy. Ultrasound scan showed normal uterus with one posterior wall intramural fibroid 3×3 cm. With the advent of better anaesthesia, easy availability of blood and blood components, caesarean myomectomy is a safe surgical procedure when performed by experienced obstetrician in carefully selected patients. Intraoperative assessment of fibroids is important in decision making for caesarean myomectomy.

Published: May 2020

Background: The initiation of antiretroviral therapy has brought about a huge transformation in HIV care and it has helped in saving millions of lives since its inception. Nevertheless, non-adherence poses a huge challenge to HIV care as this exposes the patients to opportunistic infections and brings about highly resistant viral strains. Therefore, this study assessed the cognitive-behavioural factors associated with the adherence to antiretroviral medication among HIV infected patients in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.Methods: A descriptive cross sectional study design guided by a behavioural theory was employed. Multistage sampling was employed in this study. Purposive sampling was used to select the hospitals and simple random sampling was used to select the respondents. A 42 item semi-structured questionnaire validated at 0.85 Cronbach alpha was used. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics at p<0.05.Results: The result showed a mean age of 42.11±11.60 years, while 238 (82.6%) of the respondents were female. The study revealed a positive attitudinal disposition of 54% and a negative perception of 51.5%. Optimal antiretroviral medication adherence among the respondents was 189 (65.6%). Attitude and perception showed a statistical correlation towards antiretroviral medication adherence where p=0.001 and p=0.000 respectively.Conclusions: Attitude and perception are major cognitive-behavioural factors that predicts antiretroviral medication adherence, hence, health promotion intervention that could modify these factors and improve antiretroviral medication adherence is highly recommended.

Published: May 2020

Background: The burden of non-communicable diseases increased significantly in India and Kerala carries the highest burden among Indian states. People with chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are particularly vulnerable to socioeconomic inequality due to their long-term expensive health care needs. Provision of health services through public health facilities will reduce the health care expenses and will increase NCD care utilization. This study aimed to assess socioeconomic-factors related to public health service utilization among four major non-communicable disease patients in Pathanmthitta district of Kerala.Methods: A cross-sectional household survey using WHO CSDH frame work conducted among 715 individuals from 3randomely selected panchayaths in Pathanmthitta district, Kerala. Simple frequencies were used to calculate the prevalence of NCDs in the study population. Chi-square test followed by binary logistics regression was applied (using SPSS 21 statistical package) to examine the effects of demographic and socioeconomic variables of NCD respondents on public health utilization.Results: Among 715 household survey respondents 472 (66%) reported as Non-communicable disease (NCD) patient. The majority (60.5%) of NCD respondents reported using government facility for health care irrespective of their socioeconomic status. Chi-square test analysis, ration card status, age, gender, education, occupation, income and economic dependency show significance (p<0.005). Public health utilization was seen to be high in female (OR=7.1, p=0.000), people with lower education (OR=11.5, p≤0.002) and lower income (OR=4.1, p=0.000). Public health facility utilization reported high among partially depended people (OR=39.8, p=0.000).Conclusions: Irrespective of their socioeconomic status NCD patients wants to reduce their financial burden of health care through the utilization of public health facilities.

Authors: Yang Wenxuan
Published: May 2020

According to the theory of financial liberalization, effective financial reform and moderate regulation of financial market can promote economic development. Taking China and Japan as examples, this paper analyzes some problems in the current financial liberalization reform of the two countries. Simulation scenarios about financial reform are then applied to China and Japan using the GTAP computable general equilibrium model of the global economy. The simulation results show that reducing investment barriers and improving the efficiency of capital use in the industrial sector can effectively promote the economic growth of China and Japan above levels that would otherwise be achieved. Improving the efficiency of the financial sector service delivery would have an additional positive impact on the economies of both countries, albeit small compared to measures that promote gains across all sectors.

Published: May 2020

Purpose of the study: The purpose of the article is to introduce the concept of patriotism into scientific circulation as a cultural universal as an alternative to the predominant politicization of this concept. The interpretation of this topic in various socio-political contexts presents a lot of discrepancies and contradictory characteristics associated with the ideological and political preferences of researchers.

Methodology: The research methodology is based on a situational and interactive approach to the study of socio-cultural processes and phenomena that are present in the study of social systems, as well as in cross-cultural studies and research of intercultural communication.

Main Findings: The main results of the study are the identification of the possibilities of an interactive and situational approach in the study of patriotism, the development of a common strategy for the formation of patriotism as a sequence of stages of socialization of an individual, and identification of the decisive influence of spiritual culture on the real social experience of a patriotic orientation.

Applications of this study: The results of the study open up prospects for further study of patriotism as a cultural universal, regardless of a particular political regime or national and cultural characteristics of certain countries and peoples. This can significantly expand the concept of patriotism, without linking the latter only to the specifics of its interpretation in a particular society, ethnic group or community, maintaining the necessary balance between communication and interaction in the formation of patriotism.

Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of the research consists in the use of an interactive and situational approach to the study and formation of patriotism, based on deep socio-anthropological patterns of formation and development of social groups and communities, as well as in the identified stages (situations and levels) of the formation of patriotism in real society, which can be quite stable and productive.

Published: May 2020

Se presentan los resultados de un estudio descriptivo sobre la prevalencia de infestación de Toxoplasma Gondii, en un grupo de madres y sus productos de gestación, asistente a la consulta externa de Ginecología y Obstetricia del Hospital Infantil Lorencita Villegas de Santos de Bogotá, Colombia. Se encontró una importante prevalencia de infestación parasitaria en madres e hijos, determinándose antecedentes importantes de abortos, en las madres parasitadas, mientras en los productos de gestación las lesiones atribuibles a Toxoplasma Gondii fueron mínimas.El estudio sugiere la existencia de un grave problema de salud pública, de alta virulencia, cuya patogenicidad puede estar enmascarada por el mínimo número de lesiones en los productos de gestación viables, si no se tiene en cuenta el mayor número de abortos que se informaron en las madres parasitadas.Igualmente se destaca la importancia de la ingestión de carne deficientemente cocida y la convivencia con mamíferos de sangre caliente (gatos), como vectores potenciales del parásito.

El médico en todos los tiempos, pero con mayor rigor en nuestra época, ha de ser un psicoterapeuta . Ninguna especialidad médica tendrá el éxito debido si se reduce exclusivamente a la parte somática de su paciente . El conocido aforismo. "No hay enfermedades sino enfermos", relieva la ingerencia de la mente en los padecimientos humanos . Afirmemos aquí, con el médico tracio que citara Platón, que las dolencias del cuerpo no pueden ser curadas sin tratar, ante todo y por sobre todo, el alma. En la especialidad Ginecobstétrica son conocidos los síndromes, somáticos de causa psíquica, (Dismenorrea, síndromes, menopáusicos, vómitos del embarazo, abortos de repetición, toxemia del embarazo y aún receptividad para el cáncer).

Amenorrea post-gestación
Authors: Acosta Cajiao E. , Millet Part A. , Ferrer Barriendos J. , Blanes Espi. A.
Published: May 2020

Un porcentaje relativamente alto de amenorreas secundarias (11%) puede ser posterior a una gestación.Toda amenorrea consecutiva a una gestación, de más de 6 meses de duración, es patológica y requiere una valoración exhaustiva y un tratamiento etiológico adecuado. La anamnesis es fundamental en este estudio, pero no debe basarse solamente en ella el diagnóstico, pues solamente en un porcentaje pequeño de pacientes (27.2%) que presentaron hemorragia o shock durante el parto y cambios ponderales puerperales, la causa de la amenorrea fue el Síndrome de Sheehan. No debe olvidarse tampoco la importancia que la amenorrea hipotalámica, la hiperprolactinemia y la menopausia precoz tienen como etiologías de esta amenorrea; y el papel preponderante que las determinaciones hormona les juegan en su diagnóstico. Por lo tanto, el estudio racional de las amenorreas post-gestación será hecho con la combinación juiciosa de la Historia Clínica, el examen físico y el estudio endocrinológico.
El carcinoma de vulva en el Hospital Universitario
Authors: Zúñiga C. Jorge E. , Aljure Fortunato
Published: May 2020

Se presenta un estudio de 17 casos de cáncer de vulva en el Hospital Universitario del Valle en el período 1964-1972.El 70% de las pacientes tenían más de 50 años; la mayoría grandes multíparas de un nivel socio económico bajo; la relación con enfermedad venérea en este grupo fue muy pobre, sólo 3 casos. En 14 casos el cáncer fue epidermoide. En la mayoría de los casos hubo demora en el diagnóstico, por consulta tardía. El síntoma principal fue la úlcera pruriginosa, la obesidad se asoció en 6 casos, en 10 casos se inició la enfermedad en los labios mayores y menores, 2 casos en el clítoris.El tratamiento fue vulvectomía radical en 14 casos y vulvectomía total en 3. Supervivencia mayor de 5 años: 7 casos (50%).Los controles periódicos fueron difíciles por falta de colaboración de las pacientes. La mayoría de los casos eran estadios clínicos II y III.Es necesario un diagnóstico temprano para mejorar la supervivencia en este grupo de pacientes; una vez iniciados los síntomas hubo demora hasta de un año para hacer el diagnóstico y el tratamiento adecuados.Se conoce la relación entre el tamaño de la lesión y la posibilidad de metástasis; la mayoría de las pacientes tenían la enfermedad muy avanzada; en (9) 53% casos se encontraron ganglios positivos para metástasis; así, la supervivencia resulta muy reducida.

Hasta donde llega la historia escrita, todas las sociedades han utilizado drogas que producen efectos sobre el estado de ánimo, los pensamientos y los sentimientos. Además, siempre hubo algunos individuos que se apartaron de lo acostumbrado en cuanto al momento, la cantidad y la situación en que estas drogas podrían usarse. De este modo el uso no médico de drogas y el problema del abuso de las mismas son tan viejos como la misma civilización.

Актуальностьисследованияобусловлена экологическими требованиями к дымовым газам предприятий ТЭЦ и ТЭС, работающих на угле. Обеспечение экологических требований осуществляется с помощью ультразвуковой коагуляции твердыхзоловых частиц с каплями жидкости, которая реализуется в устройствах мокрой очисткигазов – в скрубберах Вентури. Цель: увеличение эффективности скрубберов Вентури для мокрой очистки газов за счет улучшения условия поглощения золовых частиц каплями жидкости в акустических полях, которые создаются при ультразвуковой коагуляции. Объекты: процессы ультразвуковой коагуляции золовых частиц с каплями орошаемой жидкости в скруббере Вентури. Методы. Теоретические методы основывались на численном решении уравнений, описывающих движение газодисперсного потока в скруббере Вентури и коагуляцию золовых частиц в акустическо мполе. Экспериментальные результаты были получены при проведении промышленных испытаний на котлоагрегате БКЗ-220-100Ф ТЭЦ, работающем на угле Харанорского месторождения, по утвержденной стандартомметодике РД153-34.1-27.301-2001. Результаты. Разработана физико-математическая модель, описывающая движение газодисперсного потока вскруббереи взаимодействие дисперсных частиц между собой в акустическом поле. Модель позволила рассчитать эффективность газоочистки в различных условиях и определить оптимальные режимы ультразвукового воздействия: уровень звукового давления не менее 145 дБ, частота 22 кГц, зона воздействия во всем объеме скруббере Вентури, направление акустического поля перпендикулярно потоку газа. Критериями оптимальности являлись максимальная эффективность коагуляции золовых частиц вскруббере Вентури и максимальная степень очистки дымовых газов. Проведены испытанияс озданного ультразвукового оборудования на котлоагрегате БКЗ-220-100Ф ТЭЦ в золоулавливающей установке: в акустическом поле уменьшается концентрация золовых частиц в отводящих газах до четырех и более раз (эффективность не менее 98%), процентное содержание золовыхчастиц (размеромменее5мкм) снижаетсядо15раз.
Totemic symbol, character of Russian tales – bear
Authors: Cisse Coumba
Published: May 2020

The research is about the most ancient symbolism of a bear in Russian folk tales, the analysis of the bear image anthropocentrism in these fairy tales is carried out, the results of the bear’s study as a totemic symbol and a Russian fairy tale character are presented, an attempt to prove cult significance of the bear for the society of the entire ancient Slavic ethnos and its status as an elder of the ancient Slavic ancestral family is made. In ancient times, people believed in the existence of a kinship between a human and a bear, since the behavior and appearance of a bear resembled a person more than other representatives of the animal world (this is because the Slavs were not familiar with primates, as in ancient India): according to a folk-belief, the bear loves and nurses his children, eats the same food as a man, he does not have a tail, like other animals; he walks on his hind legs and can dance, so in fairy tales he is assigned the role of a landowner and a defender. However, he is deceived in many fairy tales, because the bear is the owner, the king of the forest, so he is associated with the chief and the landowner, and according to Russian folk ideas, the chief, in fact, is more stupid than a simple man.
