Published: July 2023

In the recent years sport climbing has become more and more popular. As an extreme sport, it is prone to a high degree of injury risk. A particular body part exposed to injuries is the upper extremity.
The aim of this study was to assess the number and types of hands and/or wrists injuries in regular sport climbers. The study was conducted on a group of 468 climbers. The criterion for inclusion was the regularity of conducted trainings, training internship of at least 1 year and the minimum difficulty of covering the distance at the level of VI.1. A proprietary questionnaire was used as a research tool.
As a result of climbing training 84% of examined climbers experienced pain in their palm/wrist area, whereas 67% of respondents suffered hand/wrist damage. The most common hand injuries occurred on the annular ligaments of the fingers (N = 97). It was observed a correlation between annular pulley injury and injuries occurring in the proximity of the III finger (rs = 0.513, p < 0.001) as well as between carpal tunnel syndrome and training experience (rs = 0.355, p < 0.05).
Musculoskeletal system damage and pain is a common problem for climbers. The analysis of the collected data indicated that the longer the training experience is, the higher the injury risk. The third and fourth fingers were the most injured, whereas the most frequent injuries were suffered in annular finger ligament. The collected data indicated the need to educate climbers in prevention and treatment of these specific injuries.

Published: July 2023

The use of skull correction is controversial, and treatment recommendations and reporting of results vary. The most commonly observed deformities of the skull are: plagiocephaly, brachycephaly and scaphocephaly. Treatment includes repositioning, physical therapy, and orthotic treatment with an adapted cranial remoulding orthosis (CRO). Positional plagiocephaly should be differentiated from torticollis, which is also one of the main causes of this deformity. Cranial remoulding orthosis yields better and faster results in younger patients, with age the degree of correction slows down with age. CRO is most effective when initiated before the 5th month of age. Apart from positioning therapy, physiotherapy and the use of a CRO shortens the treatment time and improves the results in severe cases of head asymmetry.

Published: July 2023

Esta pesquisa buscou estratificar a produção acadêmica brasileira em nível stricto sensu acerca do consumidor LGBTQI no domínio da Administração. Para a consecução da pesquisa, foi realizada uma revisão sistematizada no Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CTD-CAPES) nos estudos da área da Administração voltados ao consumidor LGBTQI. Após a filtragem pelos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, e pela leitura de títulos, resumos e palavras-chave, foram selecionados 13 trabalhos para compor a amostra. As principais informações dos estudos foram organizadas em planilha do Excel® e deram suporte para a sumarização e análise dos dados. Foram identificados estudos a partir do ano de 2006, em sua maioria dissertações e com maior concentração na região sudeste. Foram identificadas cinco temáticas centrais: Comportamento do Consumidor LGBTQI; Estigma e Consumo; Identidade e Consumo; Publicidade e Propaganda LGBTQI; e Significados do Consumo. A pouca quantidade de estudos, assim como a pouca diversidade do público contemplado nas pesquisas e a comparação desse fato com os indicadores de consumo da população LGBTQI, indicam a necessidade de estudos que aprofundem a temática e ultrapassem os padrões estigmatizadores observados no cotidiano social.

Authors: Roy Rajshri , Malloy Jessica
Published: July 2023

Social media has become integral to our daily lives and has transformed how people communicate and share information. It has also emerged as a powerful tool in health promotion and health policy. Social media can be used to raise awareness about health issues and promote healthy behaviours. Health organisations and advocates can use social media to share educational content, infographics and videos to promote health awareness. Social media can be used to motivate and support behaviour change. Health organisations and advocates can use social media to provide real-time support and encouragement, share success stories and offer tips and advice. Social media can also help policymakers engage with communities and stakeholders. Social media can build trust and strengthen relationships by sharing information, asking for feedback, and responding to comments and concerns. By analysing social media conversations, health organisations and policymakers can better understand public opinion and use that information to inform policy decisions. Social media can also be a powerful platform for advocacy and activism to raise awareness about health-related issues, organise events and campaigns, and mobilise support for policy change.

Authors: Schwartz Dane , Waqas Muhammad-Salman , Arroyo Eduardo , Ruiz Augustine , Tibary Ahmed
Published: July 2023

Cryptorchidism is a common sexual development disorder in males with a potential hereditary origin in goats and camelids. Cryptorchid animals should be removed from breeding and castrated to eliminate male behavior. The objective of this paper is to describe the presentation and procedure of laparoscopic-assisted cryptorchidectomy in goats and South American camelids. Records of 18 Nigerian dwarf goats and 16 camelid cases that were presented to the WSU Theriogenology Services were included. Goats ranged in age from 2 months to 1 year and camelids (14 alpacas and 2 llamas) were between 15 months and 5 years of age. In goats, 15/18 (83%) were unilateral cryptorchids while 3/18 (17%) were bilateral. The right testicle was retained abdominally in 73.3% (11/15) of the unilaterally cryptorchid goats. All the camelids presented as unilateral cryptorchids with abdominally retained testis. The left testis was retained in 9/16 (56.25%) cases while the right was retained in 7/17 (43.75%). Laparoscopic-assisted cryptorchidectomy was performed under general anesthesia in all cases. The remaining scrotal testicle was castrated using a closed technique. There were no surgical complications. Ability to confirm the presence of cryptorchid testis without laparotomy, smaller incision, lesser intraabdominal manipulation, and lesser-no post/surgical complications advocate the use of this technique for cryptorchidectomy.

Published: July 2023

High altitude areas are the most different terrains with cold/freezing asone the major problem which reduces the crop duration, affects quality andproductivity as most part of the year is covered with unfavourable climaticconditions not suited for crop growth. Despite continued efforts, traditionalbreeding gave limited success in imparting crop plants with better freezingtolerance due to very little understanding about the mechanisms that regulatechilling and freezing tolerance. The constraints of conventional breeding can beovercome by application of modern biotechnology tools. Various traits such asbiotic stress resistance, quality and storage life have been successfully engineeredinto vegetable crops and some of them have been commercialized to some extentin different countries. Although the progress in commercialization of transgenicvegetable crops has been relatively slow, transgenic vegetables engineered forcold tolerance will contribute significantly to the high altitude agriculture in nearfuture. In this review article we discuss the effect of cold stress on plants, themechanism developed by plants to cope with cold stress and also mention aboutdifferent techniques that can be applied for crop improvement for cold stress inparticular. This review also focus on different cold related genes identified so farfor development of transgenics for cold tolerance in different crops and DRDO,biotechnology initiatives in identification, isolation, characterization and cloningof cold tolerant genes for developing transgenic vegetables for cold tolerance forhigh altitude agriculture.

Authors: Pande Veena , Pande Manish
Published: July 2023

Ectomycorrhizae are symbiotic organ formed between a fungus and the roots of tree.These fungi are very important for the growth and development of higher tree species.Ectomycorrhizal diversity through effective plant growth would affect tree speciescomposition and ecosystem functioning. In a preliminary study the comparative symbioticefficiencies of two ectomycorrhizal fungi viz., Amanita hemibapha and Russula vesca wasassessed in association with oak (Q. leucotrichophora) and pine (P. roxburghii) seedlings. Ourstudies indicated that the fungal species had a marked influence on competitive outcomeof the seedlings, their growth and health status. Uttarakhand state (India) is very rich intree biodiversity however; the ECM fungal diversity of Himalayan region and how theymay be impacting the tree diversity is not well studied. It is essential to document thisimportant wealth and to find out the ways to conserve it. This will essentially require aprecise and authentic characterization of the fungal species and molecular approaches canmeet the challenge .We have used a molecular approach using RAPD techniques on genomicDNA from different ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungal species belonging to the genus Cortinarius,Boletus, Inocybe and Xerocomus of Kumaun region. Divergence analysis using RAPD markersof different ectomycorrhizal species was done using UPGMA method (Unweighted PairGroup Method with Arithmetic Mean). Divergence analysis of six genotypes revealed thatspecies 1(Boletus appendiculatus) and species 5 (Boletus variegates) were found to be located ona single cluster reflecting their homology whereas species 1 (Boletus appendiculatus) andspecies 2 (Inocybe species) were found to be distantly related. Species 4 (Xerocomus chrysenteron)share near homology with species 1 (Boletus appendiculatus) and 5 (Boletus variegates) whereasspecies 3 (Cortinarious species 1) and species 6 (Cortinarious species 2) also share near homology.The study indicates that if assay conditions are carefully controlled, the RAPD methodologymay provide a cheap, rapid and effective means to evaluate the genetic diversity among alarge number of fungal species. When coupled to using primers specific to fungal ITS regionmore accurate identification can be made all the way species and strain level.

Authors: KUMAR AMITESH , VERMA R.K.
Published: July 2023

This study presents a simple idea and a conceptual understandingof the crossover from the Bardeen Cooper (BCS) state of weakly-correlatedpairs of fermions to the Bose{Einstein condensation (BEC) of diatomicmolecules in the atomic Fermi gas. In the context of ultra cold Fermi gases,a BCS-BEC crossover means that by tuning the interaction strength, onegoes from a BCS state to a BEC state without encountering a phase transition.BEC state is a Bose-Einstein condensate of two-atom molecules (boundfermions), while the BCS state is made up of pair of atoms. The differencebetween the pairs and the molecules is that the molecules are localized inthe real space, whereas the BCS pairs are made of two particles with oppositemomenta in the momentum space.

Comparative Study on SARS-CoV-2 Variants
Authors: Kaur Ranjeet , Tripathi P N
Published: July 2023

Viruses have spent billions of years perfecting the art of surviving without living, a frighteningly effective strategy that makes them a potent threat in today’s world. But as soon as it gets into a human airway, the virus hijacks our cells to create millions more versions of itself. That’s especially true of the deadly new coronavirus that has brought global society to a screeching halt. It’s little more than a packet of genetic material surrounded by a spiky protein shell onethousandth the width of an eyelash, and it leads such a zombielike existence that it’s barely considered a living organism. A comparative research study survey on Male and Female Post Graduate of Chemistry residing in Mumbai and its suburbs was conducted to find out their awareness regarding SARS-CoV-2 virus and its variants. In the research study survey, it was found that students were not fully aware of the situation and the various factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 and its variants. There is an urgent need to make people educate on this matter so that if and when the next pandemic occurs we should know our way out.

Published: July 2023

Face spoofing refers to “tricking” a facial recognition system to gain unauthorized access to aparticular system. It is mostly used to steal data and money or spread malware. The maliciousimpersonation of oneself is a critical component of face spoofing to gain access to a system.It is observed in many identity theft cases, particularly in the financial sector. In 2015, Wen etal. presented experimental results for cutting-edge commercial off-the-shelf face recognitionsystems. These demonstrated the probability of fake face images being accepted as genuine.The probability could be as high as 70%. Despite this, the vulnerabilities of face recognitionsystems to attacks were frequently overlooked. The Presentation Attack Detection (PAD)method that determines whether the source of a biometric sample is a live person or a fakerepresentation is known as Liveness Detection. Algorithms are used to accomplish this byanalyzing biometric sensor data for the determination of the authenticity of a source.

Brain damage that can occur before, during, or after delivery combined with permanent movementand postural deficit results in cerebral palsy (CP). CP affects physical characteristics like limbs,physiological and mental processes, as well as actions like standing and walking (e.g., sports).These shortcomings ultimately result in a number of disabilities, including deficits, restrictedmovement, and participation. Kinesio taping (KT) is a relatively new therapeutic techniqueused in the rehabilitation facility for children with cerebral palsy, however, it has been usedfor a long time in the sports or orthopedic domains and has been approved as adjuvant therapyfor another functional handicap. Comparing CP treatment with PNF strength, PNF stretch, andPNF stretch alone will help spastic diplegic patients receive better care. The participants fromthe OPD and pediatric physiotherapy department of Shri Guru Ram Rai Institute of Medical andHealth Sciences & Shri Mahant Indresh Hospital, Patel Nagar, Dehradun, were randomly splitinto two groups, with one receiving PNF stretching and the other receiving Kinesio-taping (n =15 in each group). The interventions were given to both groups three days a week for a total of12 weeks. Kinesio-taping along with PNF and PNF stretching alone both showed improvementin ankle dorsiflexion in spastic diplegic children but Kinesio-taping along with PNF showedmore improvement in ankle dorsiflexion function in reducing calf muscle tightness and alsoimprove walking pattern of the child after 12 weeks of intervention.
