What Do the Health-care Providers Perceive and Experience about Health and Wellness Center Façade Branding? A Study in a Tribal District of Chhattisgarh
Authors: Samal Janmejaya
Published: January 2024

Introduction:

Brands for services and health-care services for that matter can permeate unique meanings to consumers.

Objective:

The main objective of this study was to understand the perception and experiences of service providers about the health and wellness enter (HWC) branding.

Materials and Methods:

The study adopted a qualitative research method in which in-depth interviews of health-care service providers were carried out to capture their perceptions and experiences on HWC branding.

Results:

Two thematic areas emerged after the analysis of the collected data. Bada Hospital (Big Hospital): the service providers stated that the local inhabitants ask about the six thematic circles portrayed on the wall of HWCs and their role in this newly renovated building. After knowing the six priority service packages available, the locals perceived that this facility has now become a Bada hospital that can cater to their wider health-care needs. Incremental Trust: the service providers stated that the local tribal inhabitants, after perceiving this as a Bada Hospital, have started accessing health services in HWCs with less trust in faith healers. The locals also knew that the HWCs can provide them with medications including the injectables that they prefer the most and can also conduct some procedures, both medical and surgical, with adequate drugs, instruments, and consumables, thereby creating an incremental trust of the locals with 3–4 times more outpatient department footfall.

Conclusion:

The service providers perceive that the branding has created trust for the HWCs and improved the health-seeking behavior in the catchment areas.

Authors: Deshmukh Aditi Kiran , Sheth Megha S.
Published: January 2024

Matrix rhythm therapy (MRT) is an advanced electrotherapeutic modality, which works on mechanical and magnetic vibrations and delivers physiological rhythmical oscillations, whose frequency changes according to the individuals’ tissue requirement that synchronizes with internal body rhythm. The aim of the study is to find in which conditions MRT can be effective with or without conventional physiotherapy. Databases used were Google scholar, PubMed, with keywords MRT advance physiotherapy. Studies published in English, original articles from 2018 to 2023 were included. All types of studies were included: systemic reviews, reviews, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), case series, and case report. Duplicate and irrelevant articles were excluded. Fifteen articles were found of which 9 studies were included. In this study, 1 systemic review, 1 review, 3 RCT, 1 case series, and 3 case reports were there. However, MRT with conventional physiotherapy was found to be superior in reducing pain and improving range of motion, strength, balance, gait parameters, muscle tone, strength, and quality of life. MRT may show great effects in decreasing spasticity when used with other conventional physical therapy. This brief study found that the MRT is effective, which exists as new development in the stream of physiotherapy. MRT is a recent tool in rehabilitation that is being used in conditions such as chronic back and neck pain, frozen shoulder, stroke, plantar fasciitis, decubitus ulcer, trigeminal neuralgia, oral submucous fibrosis, burns, and lymphedema.

Published: January 2024

A structural flaw in the globin gene causes hemoglobinopathies, while a flaw in the globin chain’s synthesis causes thalassemia. One of the most prevalent hemoglobinopathies worldwide is sickle cell disease. Any region of the body can be affected, but the spleen is one of the most often afflicted and the first organs to suffer damage in sickle cell anemia (SCA). Splenomegaly, splenic infarction, hypersplenism, and acute splenic sequestration are the most common manifestations. Usually enlarged in the first 10 years of life, it gradually atrophies and eventually requires an autosplenectomy. It is well established that splenic complications from SCA are linked to higher rates of morbidity and in some cases, even death. This case report discusses a unique presentation of a patient who has hypersplenism together with beta-thalassemia and sickle cell trait. This is a case report of the adult patient admitted in Dhiraj General Hospital, SBKS MIRC, Sumandeep Vidyapeeth, Waghodia, Piparia, Vadodara-391760. The high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique was used to diagnose thalassemia trait and sickle cell trait. The clinical, ultrasonographic and computed tomography scan methods have been used to identify splenomegaly. The patient had clinical symptoms suggestive of beta-thalassemia and sickle cell trait with hypersplenism. This was supported by his peripheral smear, ultrasonography, contrast-enhanced abdomen–pelvis, HPLC, and bone marrow biopsy. It is imperative that clinicians remain cognizant of this infrequent consequence. Hence, early diagnosis and genetic counseling are of great importance for improving the prognosis of these patients.

Published: January 2024

Load balancing is one of the promising challenges in cloud computing system. For solving the issues, many heuristic, meta heuristic, evolutionary and hybrid algorithms have been proposed by the researchers. Still, it is under way of research for finding optimal solution in dynamic change in behaviour of task as well as computing environments. Attempts have been made to develop a hybrid framework to balance the load in cloud environment by obtain the best fitness value. To achieve an optimal resource for load balancing, the proposed framework integrates Dragonfly (DF) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. The performance of the proposed method is compared with PSO and Dragonfly algorithm. The performance is evaluated in different measures such as best fitness value, response time by varying the user base and response time. The user bases are varied from 50, 100, 500, and 1000. Similarly, the population size has been varied to observe the performance of the algorithm. It is observed that the proposed method outperforms the other approached for load balancing. The statistical analysis and standard testing also validate the relative superiority of PSO a considerable Dragonfly Algorithm. The hybrid approach provides better response time.

Authors: Nkounga Franck Arnaud , Ngo Kodna Nelly , Folefack Denis Pompidou
Published: January 2024

Cette étude identifie les facteurs socio-économiques qui influencent l’utilisation de la fumure organique par les pépiniéristes de palmier à huile face à la hausse du prix des engrais sur les marchés. Un échantillon de 80 pépiniéristes a été choisi au hasard pour la collecte les données dans deux départements de la région du Littoral où l’activité est prépondérante. Un modèle Logit est estimé pour isoler les variables affectant l’utilisation de la stratégie. Les résultats du modèle montrent une corrélation entre les variables socio-économiques et l’utilisation de la fumure organique dans la pépinière pour la production des plants de palmier à huile. Ainsi, les variables telles que, la taille du ménage, l’accès au marché et l’accès ou pas à la formation dans la mise en place d’une pépinière de palmier à huile, sont les facteurs qui influencent de façon significative l’adoption de la fumure organique. En outre, l’analyse de la sensibilité de la probabilité d’adoption par rapport aux variables explicatives montre que certaines variables socioéconomiques ont des effets marginaux les plus forts. De plus, certaines variables affectent positivement et d’autres négativement la propension à l’adoption de la stratégie. Dans un contexte de flambée des prix des engrais dans les marchés, une forte utilisation de la fumure organique est nécessaire et des actions fortes doivent être mises en œuvre par les acteurs.
Abstract
This study identifies the socio-economic factors that influences the use of organic fertilizer by oil palm nursery operators in the face of rising fertilizer prices in the markets. A sample of 80 nursery operators was randomly selected for data collection in two divisions of the Littoral region where the activity is prevalent. A Logit model was used to estimate and to isolate the variables affecting the use of the strategy. The results of the model show a correlation between socio-economic variables and the use of organic manure in the nursery for oil palm seedling production. Thus, variables such as, household size, access to market and access or not to training in setting up an oil palm nursery, are the factors that significantly influence the adoption of organic manure. In addition, sensitivity analysis of the probability of adoption with respect to explanatory variables shows that some socioeconomic variables have the strongest marginal effects. In addition, some variables positively affect the propensity to adopt the strategy, while others negatively affect the propensity. In a context of increase in fertilizer prices in the markets, a strong use of organic manure is necessary and strong actions must be implemented by the stakeholders.

Published: January 2024

Purpose: To investigate the effect of carnosol on the progression of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and to elucidate its mechanism of action.

Methods: A cognitive impairment model rat induced by sevoflurane (SEV) was established. Dihydroethidium (DHE) assay was conducted to determine the effect of carnosol on reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in sevoflurane-induced rats. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production and immunoblot assays were used to assess carnosol effect on mitochondrial damage, while water maze experiment was performed to evaluate cognitive dysfunction in the rats. The mechanism of action was investigated using immunoblot assay.

Results: Carnosol suppressed sevoflurane-induced ROS production in the rats, and alleviated sevoflurane-induced mitochondrial damage; it also activated autophagy. Furthermore, carnosol suppressed SEV-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation by activating autophagy and suppressing SEV-induced cognitive dysfunction via the suppression of NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Conclusion: Carnosol ameliorates SEV-stimulated cognitive impairment by suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome and thus, can potentially be developed serve as a therapeutic agent for the management of cognitive impairment.
Macroeconomic policy regimes and demand and growth regimes in emerging market economies: the case of Argentina
Authors: Ianni Juan Martín
Published: January 2024

Demand and growth regimes (DGR) and macroeconomic policy regimes (MPR) frameworks have assumed prominence within the post-Keynesian literature. However, most studies based on these conceptual frameworks have focused on developed economies. The main contribution of this paper is to provide a post-Keynesian analysis of the DGR and MPR of an emerging capitalist economy, Argentina, in the period between 2002 and 2019. By providing a novel periodization of the Argentine macroeconomic development, the results show a more precise characterization of the latter, thus allowing a better understanding of economic policy and its results in terms of aggregate demand and growth. In particular, it is possible to observe the MPR and DGR transition between 2002 and 2015, as well as an abrupt change after 2016.

Published: January 2024

The positioning of States in global value chains has become a highly important competitive factor. Logistics and transportation constitute therefore an important lever for strategical action by states. In light of these issues, this article intends to report on the national logistics strategy, “France Logistique 2025”, whose roadmap was presented in March 2016. Beyond the deconstruction of its content and process, the objective here is to enrich the reflection about the strategist-state role and the missions in the definition and implementation of a policy, which cuts naturally across activity sectors and territories.

Au-delà d’en déconstruire le contenu et le processus, l’objectif est ici d’enrichir aussi la réflexion sur le rôle et les missions de l’État-stratège dans la définition et le déploiement d’une politique par nature transversale aux secteurs d’activité et aux territoires.
A REVIEW ON CONCEPT OF PRAMANA IN NYAYA DARSHANA AND CHARAK SAMHITA
Authors: Katyar Priyanka , Kumar Vipin
Published: January 2024

Both Nyaya Darshana and Ayurveda are highly influenced and complemented by each other as both sciences developed in the same period. The concepts of Nyaya Darshana have been selectively incorporated into Ayurve-da to suit its purposes, viz. Swasthya Rakshana and RogaPrashamana. Most of the concepts of the Nyaya are accepted as such, but some are modified as needed. There are similarities between some concepts of Charaka Samhita and Nyaya Darshana Shastra, in which Pramana is the main source of Nyaya Darshana, and it has given Pratyaksha, Anumana, Upamana, and Shabd. In Charak Samhita, Acharya Charak accepted Pramana as Pariksha. In this article, we will try to correlate the Pramana of NyayaDarshana and their influence upon Charak Samhita.
Relative Age Effect in Individual Sports. A Systematic Review

Published: January 2024

Relative Age Effect (RAE) refers to the influence that month birth could have over the performance of people born in the same year. Most RAE studies indicate that individuals born in the first quartiles of a given year may present biological, physical, cognitive, psychological advantages over those who were born in the last months of the same year. Such variations could affect performance, leading to overestimation of observed results at the evaluation time. Although RAE had become a well-studied phenomenon, few is known about the prevailing studies methodological characteristics, as well as the breakthroughs over the theme, particularly, in individual sports. Thus, this systematic review investigated the state of art of RAE in individual sports. Results reveal RAE was found among athletes of individual sports; most studies described RAE in individual sports, nevertheless, few established relations between RAE and other variables (i.e. anthropometry, technical performance.) besides the quarter of birth. Findings indicate most RAE studies in individual sports focus their methodologies and results on describing athletes’ percentage born in each quartile of the year. Therefore, the theme requires a new approach, focused on the relation of RAE with sports talent identification and athlete development processes in individual sports.
Ground laser scanning of the flyover through the railway for the purposes of its reconstruction
Authors: Shevchenko G. G. , Shchenyavskaya L. A. , Bryn M. Ya.
Published: January 2024

The article presents the possibility of obtaining geometric parameters of an flyover passing through a railway using ground–based laser scanning technology using modern equipment Leica Scan Station C10. The practical significance of using the chosen method lies in the fastest and most convenient scanning of the object, reducing production costs and, of course, high accuracy of the spatial data obtained necessary for the reconstruction of the flyover. A study of the use of ground-based laser scanning technology to obtain spatial data of the flyover was conducted, as a result of which the advantages of the chosen method were revealed. Also, based on the data obtained, a comprehensive three-dimensional model and two-dimensional drawings were prepared, such as the facade of the flyover, its plan and drawings of transverse profiles. Thanks to the compiled drawings and models of the bridge structure passing through the railway, the design work on the reconstruction of the facility has become much easier and more efficient. The presented experience confirms the need to introduce modern technologies, namely ground-based laser scanning in survey activities in order to develop and detail design solutions for the reconstruction of flyovers.

In this paper we explore the dynamic basis of epilepsy, the sacred disease, and show, surprisingly, that in all cases its manifest signs and symptoms correspond to the four-tier vertical framework –material, efficient, formal and final causes – advanced by Aristotle a half-century after the Hippocratic works surfaced. Specifically, impaired energy dynamics during the seizure state transiently disrupt the couplement between the material and formal causal layers of the body precipitating the behavioral alterations that define epilepsy.
Choosing a foreign high-speed train service for a domestic route: Early insights from France
Authors:   AUS American Institute of Applied Sciences in Switzerland, Catenazzo Giuseppe
Published: January 2024

This study replicates and extends in France an exploratory study run in Italy on travellers’ choice for a high-speed train service for leisure. We specifically analysed the effect of the country of origin of two train operating companies, i.e. a domestic versus a foreign carrier, and ticket price on travellers’ interest in a single high-speed train service. The results from an experimental study highlight that travellers seem not to consider either rail operator in their ticket preferences. On the other hand, ticket prices make a difference in assessing a ticket offer, but only up to a specific threshold. Above that limit, the ticket price becomes irrelevant in travellers’ eyes.
Communicating sustainability: how brands can influence consumers' purchasing decision
Authors:   Polytechnic Institute of Cávado and Ave, Barcelos, Portugal, and University of Aveiro, Aveiro, Portugal, Arantes Luzia
Published: January 2024

Brands use digital marketing communication and tools, including social media, to effectively convey information about their sustainable practices in response to growing consumer demand for sustainability. This approach allows brands to incorporate sustainability messages into their promotional strategies, meeting the growing demand for environmentally friendly products. A study of 423 individuals, including 149 males (35.2%), 273 females (64.5%) and 1 participant of other gender (0.2%), with an average age of 42.74 years (SD=15.94%), examined the relationship between sustainability communication, digital marketing, brands' use of social media and consumers' purchasing decisions. The results of the study suggest that communicating sustainable practices through digital marketing can positively influence consumers' purchasing decisions. By taking advantage of digital marketing platforms such as social media, brands can increase their sustainability visibility and reputation. In addition, digital marketing allows brands to build trust with consumers by providing transparent and authentic information about their sustainable practices.

The purpose of this study is to assess new pathways for the niche markets of IGA beers in Piedmont, Italy. Specifically, this study aims to analyse the supply and demand side for these products to evaluate the opportunities for developing enogastronomic tourism experiences. First, available public statistics on microbreweries were analysed to map their diffusion in Piedmont. Then, a survey was prepared to assess consumers’ opinions about these products, with a total of 336 consumers participating in the study. The main results show that, while craft beers are well-known and frequently bought by consumers, IGA beers are still not very widespread. Anyhow, consumers showed positive attitudes towards locally produced products thus highlighting that there is a space for developing new tourism experiences related to these local specialities. Finally, the study shows that consumers would be interested in buying them and paying more than traditional beers.

In this paper, we analyzed the new mechanisms on which the operation of the financial system rests, compared to the monetary system, with an emphasis on the roles of banks in them. The goal of the paper is to point out the importance of the new subsystems that exist within the financial system, as well as the importance of the participants who are most deserving of the efficient functioning of this large entity. The results indicate that monetary and credit policy, primarily interest rate policy, has the greatest impact on the financial market. Furthermore, the multiplication of money in circulation is influenced by several elements that are also a limiting factor in the credit activity of banks: e.g. required reserve rate, liquidity reserve rates and changes in non-monetary deposits, etc.

Published: January 2024

In this study, we describe a linear space A_(α,p(.))^(w,ν) (R^d ) of functions f∈L_w^1 (R^d ) whose fractional Fourier transforms F_α f belong to L_ν^p(.) (R^d ) for p^+<∞. We show that A_(α,p(.))^(w,ν) (R^d ) becomes a Banach algebra with the sum norm ‖f‖_(A_(α,p(.))^(w,ν) )=‖f‖_(1,w)+‖F_α f‖_(p(.),ν) and under Θ (fractional convolution) convolution operation. Besides, we indicate that the space A_(α,p(.))^(w,ν) (R^d ) is an abstract Segal algebra, where w is weight function of regular growth. Moreover, we find an approximate identity for A_(α,p(.))^(w,ν) (R^d ). We also discuss some other properties of A_(α,p(.))^(w,ν) (R^d ). Finally, we investigate some inclusions of this space.

Published: January 2024

In this paper, dual bicomplex Balancing and Lucas-Balancing numbers are defined, and some identities analogous to the classic properties of the Fibonacci and Lucas sequences are produced. We give the relationship between these numbers and Pell and Pell-Lucas numbers. From these, the basic bicomplex properties for the norm and its conjugate of these numbers are also developed. These in turn lead to the Binet formula, the generating functions and exponential generating functions, which are important concepts for number sequences. The Cassini identity, which is important for number sequences, actually emerged to solve the famous Curry paradox. We calculated the Cassini, Catalan, Vajda and d’Ocagne identities for these numbers.

Published: January 2024

Internet media has become a tool that provides a means for open company financial reporting as information for external parties because openness can reduce the level of information asymmetry that can occur in financial reports, so that it can accelerate company growth. The nature and characteristics of the internet which is easy to spread (pervasiveness), knows no borders (borderlessness), is timely (real time), low cost (low cost), makes disclosing information via the company website easier in finding all the necessary information related to the company, without having to incur high costs, Abdillah (2015). The development of the internet has created a new way of conveying company financial report information, namely using the Internet Financial Repoting (IFR) system, Yuli Kurniawati (2018). Every company has had many improvements in terms of company profits. Profitability is an indicator measuring management performance in managing company assets which can be shown by increasing profits that can be generated by the company. By indicating that the greater the company's profitability value, the company has good performance management. The liquidity ratio is an indicator of the level of a company's ability to pay short-term obligations. If the company is illiquid, there is a tendency for the company to experience bankruptcy. The ratio is prorated using the Current Ratio, which is about the comparison between current assets and current liabilities. The leverage ratio is a ratio that is an indicator of a company's capital structure. A high level of leverage can encourage management to carry out Internet Financial Reporting to take advantage of opportunities for good information from the company. Company size is a description of how big or small a company is, which can be measured by the size of the asset value, total sales, or the market value of the company's equity. Profitability and leverage influence the Internet Financial Report, while liquidity has no influence on the Internet Financial Report. Size can strengthen the influence of leverage on the Internet Financial Report, while size cannot strengthen the influence of profitability and liquidity on the Internet Financial Report

The low-level circulation of the atmosphere over Isla del Coco has been studied and the presence of a northerly wind at low levels of the atmosphere in the eastern tropical Paciﬁc, in addition to the deep Hadley circulation cell, has been confirmed. Using data from pilot balloons (May 1997 through January 1999, October 2007 through April 2008), the northern ﬂow is between 1 and 5 km high, depending on the time of year, with a maximum speed located between 2 and 3 km above the surface. The generating mechanism of the surface return ﬂow in the Hadley circulation cell has been formulated as a sea breeze, Ekman pumping of the boundary layer, and it could even be a response to the Rossby wave generated by warming in the Chocó region. These results agree with those obtained from the ERA5 reanalysis (January 1979 through December 2020), which show that the southern return cell varies in position and height during the course of the year, with a poorly organized circulation in March and strengthening from July to February. The incorporation of data of low, medium and high cloud cover from Year of the Tropical Convection (boreal summer 2009) evidenced the presence of high-level clouds in the ITCZ region and low-level clouds to the south of the ITCZ, latitudes where the south surface circulation cell is located.

The term of “incomplete” systemic lupus erythematosus (iSLE) is used when patients have typical clinical and immunological signs of lupus without fulfilling the classification criteria for SLE. Autoantibodies appear in patients years before diagnosis, and the most common clinical manifestations are nonspecific and may be the only symptom of the disease for some time. Progression to definite SLE occurs in 5–57% of patients with iSLE within 1–10 years. There are currently no recommendations for monitoring and treatment of iSLE patients. This article presents the results of our own research and literature analysis on clinical and pathogenetic problems of iSLE.

Background. Netakimab has shown high efficacy in controlled clinical trials in the treatment of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). This article presents results of an observational study of netakimab using in routine clinical practice.

Methods. Patients were recruited for the study from August 2020 to December 2021 at 23 centers in the Russian Federation. The study included patients who were prescribed netakimab therapy before enrollment, so clinical and medical history data for the first visit were entered retrospectively, and following visits at weeks 12, 24 and 52 of therapy were collected within the study. Drug survival rate has been calculated according to Kaplan – Meier analysis.

Results. The study included 137 patients (93 men and 14 women) with AS. The average age of patients was 42.3 (±11.9) years, 34.3% of patients had previously received therapy with genetically engineered biologic drugs, mainly tumor necrosis factor inhibitors. At the end of the analyzed period (52 weeks of therapy), 90.4% [95% CI: 85.4–95.7] of patients continued treatment with netakimab. The BASDAI and ASDAS-CRP showed statistically significant decreases in scores from baseline at all time points. Netakimab was well tolerated by patients; adverse effects (AEs), related to therapy according to the investigator’s opinion, were reported in 7 (5.1%) patients. 2 patients stopped taking netakimab due to AEs: terminal ileitis and chronic colitis.

Conclusions. In real-world clinical practice, netakimab demonstrated high retention rates, a favorable safety profile, and sustained efficacy throughout the first year of therapy.

The article examines the role of a police officer in the local administrative police apparatus of the Russian Empire at the end of the XIX century — the beginning of the XX century. The author notes in his article that the need to study the problems of functioning of state institutions of law enforcement orientation in their historical retrospect is due to the reform of law enforcement agencies of our time. According to the author, the creation of the institute of police officers in 1878 played an important role for the local police apparatus and was conditioned by the conditions of the historical situation — the activation of the revolutionary movement. The article discusses in detail the issues of recruitment of police officers, material support of their activities and functional responsibilities. The author notes that the introduction of the post of a police officer made it possible to strengthen the few, imperfect and fragmented rural police. Despite the fact that the establishment of the post of a police officer was considered as a temporary measure, the activities of police officers were carried out for quite a long time.
Would You Like Some (Artificial) Help with That? Personalizing Health Supplements with AI
Authors: Park Derrick
Published: January 2024

A growing number of companies in the healthcare industry are offering consumers the option to personalize their products. The growing use of vitamins and dietary supplements prompts the exploration of artificial intelligence (AI)’s role in optimizing supplement recommendations. This paper investigates the potential integration of medical AI into the personalization of vitamin supplements to enhance consumer healthcare. The influence of AI-assisted medical recommendations was assessed by considering the interplay of patient self-identity and health concerns in choosing between human doctors and AI as evidenced by the Extended Self Theory, the IKEA Effect, uniqueness neglect, and consumer openness. By surveying the literature, this paper aims to explore the benefits of medical AI in the vitamin supplement market; the issues affecting AI uptake in the vitamin supplement market; and a broad theoretical profile of consumers best prepared to switch from a human doctor to AI customization. While acknowledging the current gaps in AI’s capabilities and the challenges of establishing consumer trust in AI-enabled healthcare, this review envisions a future where AI stands as a tool to empower patients and collaborate with human doctors to optimize patient well-being and healthcare. Subsequent investigation might bridge the disparity between the current capabilities of AI in medical support and its potential for widespread adoption.

A plant that is commonly used in the food and health industries is garlic (Allium sativum L.). One powerful antioxidant found in garlic is called allicin. The garlic used in this study was heated to 70°C in order to produce black garlic. Determining the phenolic content overall and the antioxidant activity of the Black Garlic ethanol extract are the goals of this investigation. The Folin Ciocalteu method was used to calculate the total phenolic content, the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method was used to test for antioxidant activity, and the soxhletation method was used to extract black garlic. The findings indicated that the ethanol extract of black garlic had an overall phenolic content of 8.96% and an IC50 value of 4.7527 µg/mL (extremely strong antioxidant) for its antioxidant activity.

Introduction: Retinopathy Of Prematurity (ROP), is the major preventable blindness in infants. A study was conducted to find the risk factors of ROP in premature infants with gestational age (GA) < 36 weeks.

Methods: It was a descriptive study conducted in Kakatiya Medical College, Hanumakonda. Babies with major congenital, chromosomal anomalies were excluded. One hour before screening, a drop of Tropicamide was instilled for every 10 – 15 minutes for 4 times followed by a drop of Phenylephrine just before examination. ROP screening was carried out by a senior ophthalmologist in NICU. First, the anterior segment was examined. This was followed by sequential examination of all clock hours of the peripheral retina and findings were recorded. Association between variables was analysed by using Chi-Square test. P < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.

Results: ROP was detected in 31.4%; statistically there was no significant difference between gender. Apnoea, hyperbilirubinemia, anaemia, respiratory distress were found to be the risk factors for ROP; statistically there was significant difference, respectively.

Conclusion: Preventing prematurity is the best way to reduce ROP. Proper coordination between obstetrician, neonatologist and ophthalmologist can help to reduce the incidence.
