Published: July 2023

: Pregnancy is a wonderful event of a women life, where in a female prepare herself to give birth to child. The physiological changes in blood include a rise in erythrocytes and a decrease in platelets, which results in the condition known as thrombocytopenia, where the platelet counts are fewer than a few lakhs and bring on bleeding symptoms. The decreased platelet during pregnancy is called gestational thrombocytopenia.

: The present study aims to find the prevalence of the gestational thrombocytopenia in India.

A cross sectional descriptive study design used to identify the prevalence rate of the gestational thrombocytopenia in India, total 3952 samples from India like Lucknow, Panipat, Sonipat, Gohana, Delhi.

The study found that the prevalence of gestational thrombocytopenia is 3.4%. During the study period records revealed that 37 women (27%) belonged to gestational age of 30-33 weeks, 30 women (21%) belonged to gestational age of 34-36 weeks and 70 women (51%) belonged to gestational age of 37-40 weeks. Thirty-five (25.5%) cases had mild thrombocytopenia, 22 women (16%) had moderate, and 80 women (58.7%) had severe thrombocytopenia.

: The present study assessed the prevalence of the gestational thrombocytopenia at various cities in India, suggested the importance of the early identification of gestational thrombocytopenia and prevention of complications related to gestation and pregnancy outcome

Published: July 2023

Patient related, surgeon related and thyroid gland related factors affect complication rate of surgery of thyroid gland. Hence, it is important to carry out more studies on surgical profile of patients undergoing surgery of thyroid gland and associated complications to help young surgeons understand the depth of the topic.

To study surgical profile of patients undergoing thyroid surgery and its complications

Retrospective observational analysis has been performed. Study population included all patients who had a thyroidectomy operation performed. Medical records of all patients who underwent thyroid surgery were retrospectively evaluated. A data forms were set up for the detailed collection of data on surgical techniques and their related complications. Data extraction was carried out from the patients’ medical records manually.

Most commonly affected age group was 31-40 years. Females were commonly affected (93.7%). Right lobe was affected in almost half of cases. Majority i.e. 95.8% of lesions of the thyroid gland were benign in nature and only 4.2% were malignant. Most commonly performed surgical procedure was hemi-thyroidectomy in 54.1% of cases. Complication rate was only 15.6% and all complications were mild. There was no recurrent laryngeal nerve injury and No death was recorded. Most common complication was transient hypocalcemia and seroma in four cases each.

Middle aged and females are commonly affected with the thyroid disease requiring surgery. Right lobe of thyroid commonly affected. Complication rate is low and all complications were mild in nature. This suggests that now a day, the thyroid surgery is not associated with mortality and severe morbidity as was the case in previous days.
Conventional radiation therapy with hyperfractionated radiation therapy in cancer hypopharynx - A prospective comparative study
Authors: S Vijayakumar
Published: July 2023

Cancer treatment of the head and neck, the effectiveness of hyperfractionated radiation therapy (HFRT) has been revealed in recent randomized trials, mainly in their local control. As the hypopharynx is situated near the larynx, to achieve greater laryngeal preservation, local control of hypopharyngeal cancers should be achieved; it is very important to enhance the patient’s quality of life. In this study, hyperfractionated radiation therapy results were compared with conventional radiation therapy (CFRT) results.

Patients with squamous cell cancer of hypopharynx (Stage II to IVA); were submitted with hyperfractionated (n = 34) or conventionally fractionated (n = 22) radiotherapy, with chemotherapy, between July 2018 to January 2020.

In conventional radiotherapy, each patient received 2 Gy per fraction with a total dose of 66 Gy at over 6.3 weeks, along with concurrent cisplatin (30 mg/m 2) weekly. In hyperfractionated radiotherapy, each patient received 1.2 Gy per fraction two fractions per day six hours apart with a total dose of 72 Gy at over 6 weeks, along with concurrent cisplatin (30 mg/m 2) weekly. The endpoints were tumor response and toxicities.

: Complete response rate in the HFRT group was 85.29% and that in the CFRT group was 68.18%. The most prevalent acute toxicities were skin, mucosal and dysphagia related. The acute skin toxicity was significantly higher in CFRT (54.55%) than in HFRT (44.12%).

: This study suggests that for the treatment of locally advanced hypopharynx cancers, hyperfractionated radiation therapy with simultaneous chemotherapy can be a standard method of treatment and care.

Published: July 2023

According to International Diabetes Federation (IDF) prevalence of diabetes in India is 8.8%. Acanthosis Nigerians is one of the marker of insulin resistance which is easy to detect. There are not many studies which have correlated this ubiquitous clinical marker with metabolic syndrome and moreover there is no study on HIV positive patients

: To study the prevalence of acanthosis Nigerians in patients with HIV-infection, attending ART clinic or admitted at a tertiary care centre and to study its relationship with metabolic syndrome.

This is a cross sectional observational study done for 18 months including 300 patients. All patients with HIV-infection attending ART clinic or admitted were included in the study.

Acanthosis Nigerians was found more in males as compared to females (15.35 vs 9.52%) though the difference was not statistically significant while metabolic syndrome was found in 12.7% of the patients. Comparative analysis of anthropometric data of metabolic syndrome patients with and without acanthosis Nigerians revealed larger waist circumference in patients with acanthosis Nigerians (85.44 vs 81.75) and it was statistically significant (p value 0.037). Sensitivity and specificity analysis of acanthosis Nigerians and metabolic syndrome revealed low sensitivity of acanthosis Nigerians in predicting presence of metabolic syndrome (17 %) and low positive predictive value (18.42 %). However it revealed high specificity (87.98 %) and a negative predictive value (86.97 %). Odds ratio of metabolic syndrome in presence of acanthosis Nigerians was 1.5. The CD4 count values were not significantly different in those with or without acanthosis Nigerians. The age, sex, duration of the therapy or the ART regimen did not statistically influenced occurance of acanthosis Nigerians

Acanthosis Nigerians is a common and easily accessible dermatological condition. Increased waist circumference and waist hip ratio are strong predictors of acanthosis Nigerians. Acanthosis Nigerians can be used to predict occurrence of metabolic syndrome with high specificity and patients should be thoroughly evaluated for metabolic syndrome in its presence.

Knowledge, attitude and practice of self-medication in general population of central India
Authors: Kasulkar Arti Ajay , Borkar Pranhita , Gupta Madhur
Published: July 2023

Self-medication is widely used in both urban and rural people around the world, even in developing nations like India. Inappropriate self-medication can squander resources, increase microbial resistance, and pose serious health hazards regardless of whether it can help in the prevention and treatment of illnesses that do not require medical attention.

To determine the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of 200 participants on self-medication, a cross-sectional study using questionnaires was conducted.

On the recommendation of pharmacists, 45.5% of respondents used self-medication in the previous six months. About 83% of respondents thought self-medication was harmful if it was used without proper knowledge of drugs and diseases, 69% thought pharmacists were good resources for advice and information about minor medical issues, 59% thought self-medication was acceptable in some situations, and 34% thought a drug's effectiveness was unrelated to its price. Self-medication was favoured by the majority of respondents (38%) for minor illnesses like coughs, colds, and fevers. Due to time savings, participants' confidence in their own medical expertise, the expensive cost of visiting a doctor, and the clinic's distance from their homes, self-medication was chosen.

Even though self-medication has negative effects, many nevertheless do it since it's more convenient. The general public should therefore be made aware of the potential risks associated with self-medication.

Poly(lactic acid): Synthesis, modification and applications in controlled drug delivery
Authors: López Betty Lucy , Palacio- Betancort Juliana
Published: July 2023

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is the most promising biodegradable alternative to replace conventionalpetrochemical-based polymers in manufacturing high performance materials. Here we review the main methods to obtain polylactic acid and briefly discuss its functionalization and application in the field of controlled drug release. We conducted a bibliographic search of scientific databases and summarized the results of the research carried out by our group. We show that the most commonly used PLA modifications in drug delivery systems are functionalization with glycolic acid (GA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) through copolymerization or blending, where the use of compatibilizers is essential for good adhesion. Active vectorization is discussed as its choice depends on the size of the nanoparticle and the type of disease to be treated.

Published: July 2023

This research studies the effect of pre-oxidation on physical and electrochemical properties of electrospun polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-derived carbon composites of cobalt phosphides by comparing carbonized non-pre-oxidized (NPO) and pre-oxidized (PO) samples used as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The X-Ray diffraction (XRD) patterns revealed the formation of CoP and Co2P in both samples while presence of amorphous cobalt metaphosphate for NPO and cobalt phosphate for PO was determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The electrochemical performance of nanofibers was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge at different current densities. The results showed improved stability at high current densities (344.1 mAh g-1 at 5000 mA g-1), more significant charge capacity (599.6 mAh g-1 at 500 mA g-1) and higher initial Coulombic efficiency (CE%, 61.1%) for PO samples than NPO.

Published: July 2023

For the creation of new highly active and stable catalysts for the complete processing of coal methane, different methods for designing catalytic systems are being applied, including the use of the effects of mutual strengthening of the action of metals and modifying the composition of the supports. Different chemical synthesis approaches were considered for obtaining supported Ni nanoparticles with controllable compositions and sizes. For the citrate sol-gel method, it was found that with an increase in the citric acid/metals molar ratio from 0 to 1, the textural characteristics (specific surface area: 76→100 m2/g) of Сe0.2Ni0.8O1.2/Al2O3 catalysts, dispersion (average particle size: 10→5 nm) and reducibility (temperature of maximum H2 consumption: 580→530 °C) of the Ni-containing species improved. For calcined in air at 500 °C catalysts it was shown that Ni2+ cations stabilized in NiO or in the Ce-Ni-O solid solution. The proportion of the latter was maximum at a citric acid/metal molar ratio equal to 0.25, which was chosen as the optimal value in the investigated range of 0.25–1.0. An increase in the calcination temperature from 500 to 900 °C contributes to the stabilization of Ni2+ in the Al-Ni-O solid solution, which leads to a slight deterioration in the textural properties of the samples and a significant difficulty in their reducibility. After reductive activation at 800 °C of Сe0.2Ni0.8O1.2/Al2O3 samples, catalytically active metal Nio nanoparticles of ~7 nm in size were formed for effective reforming of coal industry methane into synthesis gas.

Exploring ideological-ware as a resource in the use of Moodle in higher education – analyzing Covid-19 publications
Authors: Zuma Sphesihle , Mthembu Bheki
Published: July 2023

Across the globe, the advent of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) has propelled most sectors to do their business online. Higher education institutions (HEIs) in particular have had to move their teaching and learning online, with Moodle reported to be one of the most used platforms internationally. In the context of Covid-19, educational researchers and  publications have discussed various ways in which this platform has influenced the three types of curricula, namely: competence curriculum; pragmatic curriculum and performance curriculum. However, there is less emphasis on  ideological-ware in the use of Moodle as a teaching and learning resource, which presents a serious challenge and requires systemic debate and reflection. This study uses critical discourse analysis and community of inquiry through purposive and convenience sampling to identify the published documents on the use of Moodle in the context of Covid-19. Findings indicate that most scholars are advocating that the successful use of Moodle in higher education institutions relies on ensuring that hardware and software resources are available for both lecturers and students. This suggests that HEIs are focusing on the performance and competence-based curriculum, yet limited mention is given to ideological-ware as an important aspect when using Moodle.
Inestabilidad financiera y regulación bancaria. La experiencia de imperios y naciones ibéricas a principios del siglo XIX
Authors: Blasco-Martel Yolanda , Rosado Gambi Thiago Fontelas
Published: July 2023

Históricamente, la inestabilidad financiera ha sido un incentivo para realizar cambios en la regulación del funcionamiento de las instituciones bancarias. Este trabajo aborda las primeras experiencias bancarias sucedidas en Argentina, Brasil, España y Portugal, y sus crisis en la primera mitad del siglo XIX. Como bancos emisores, el principal escollo que debieron sortear fue garantizar la convertibilidad de sus billetes. En todos los países el Estado intervino, inicialmente y en general, intercambiando el privilegio emisor a cambio de favores económicos. Esto incidió de manera negativa en las primeras experiencias bancarias, mayoritariamente fracasadas. Los bancos que sobrevivieron recibieron soporte del Estado para continuar, pero también contaron con regulaciones más restrictivas respecto a la emisión. En los casos analizados, las crisis bancarias produjeron cambios diversos en la regulación de los bancos.
El Fondo de Garantías de Instituciones Financieras y la prima de seguro de depósitos, 1988-2022
Authors: Avellaneda Hortúa Mauricio
Published: July 2023

Una de las funciones del Fondo de Garantías de Instituciones Financieras (Fogafín) es organizar el sistema de seguro de depósitos. La ley señala que la prima de seguro debe ser diferencial o existir un sistema de devolución acorde al riesgo de la institución amparada. Fogafín decidió adoptar un sistema de cobro adicional o devolución parcial de la prima de seguro de depósitos. Esta investigación tiene por propósito determinar si la metodología que utiliza Fogafín para evaluar la pertinencia o no del cobro o devolución parcial de la prima ha cambiado con el tiempo. Para ello, se adelantó una revisión documental de la normatividad que para el efecto desarrolló Fogafín, aplicable a los establecimientos de crédito. De esta revisión se encontró que Fogafín decidió adoptar, en un principio, un sistema de devolución parcial de la prima de seguro que tenía como base la calificación crediticia que una agencia calificadora de riesgo otorgaba a la institución financiera garantizada. Luego, Fogafín adoptó un sistema de cobro adicional y devolución parcial de la prima de seguro y, para ello, acogió la metodología CAMEL o CAMELS, que con el paso del tiempo ha ido adaptando para incluir en la evaluación de riesgo de la entidad financiera amparada, por ejemplo, algunos indicadores representativos de mejores prácticas de regulación prudencial.
Stock market crises and macroeconomic depressions in Spain, 1850-2020
Authors: Betrán Concha , Pons María A.
Published: July 2023

Las crisis bursátiles se han producido con mayor frecuencia en España. Sin embargo, en el periodo 1850-2006, España tuvo una menor probabilidad, que otros países, de que una depresión económica estuviera asociada a una crisis, a pesar de que las depresiones económicas también fueron comunes durante el periodo. Este resultado podría explicarse por el pequeño tamaño y bajo nivel de desarrollo del mercado bursátil durante la mayor parte de este periodo. Sin embargo, la probabilidad aumenta al considerar un lapso más largo (1850-2018 y también hasta 2020), que incluye los años de mayor desarrollo financiero e integración internacional. En este último periodo, España se parece más a otros países desarrollados y las crisis bursátiles parecen predecir en mayor medida la posibilidad de que se produzca una depresión, especialmente cuando la crisis bursátil va acompañada de una crisis bancaria. En consecuencia, una mayor inestabilidad financiera parece ser el principal mecanismo de transmisión entre las crisis bursátiles y las depresiones.
Investigation of the relationship between modified Glasgow prognostic score and no-reflow phenomenon in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-elevation myocardial infarction
Authors: KAPLANGORAY Mustafa , TOPRAK Kenan , AYDIN Cihan , ASLAN Ramazan
Published: July 2023

Objectives: No-reflow phenomenon (NRP) is a complication associated with poor clinical outcome in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). The modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS) is a novel immune-inflammatory index, derived from C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum albumin levels and has been shown to be associated with prognosis in heart disease. In this study we aimed to investigated the relationship between mGPS and NRP in patients undergoing pPCI for STEMI.
Methods: A total of 379 patients (aged 59 ± 9.9 years; 54.9% male) were enrollled. The patients were divided into 2 groups:no-reflow (n = 72) and reflow (n = 307). No-reflow was defined as thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) ≤ 2 flow. The mGPS of all patients was calculated from blood samples at admission. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the independent predictive factors for NRP.
Results: Mean age, pain to balloon duration, troponin T, white blood cell (WBC), Syntax score, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), glucose level, C-reactive protein level (CRP), diabetic and female patient ratio were higher, while left ventricular ejection fraction, ST segment resolution ratio at 60 min, and serum albumin level were lower in the NRP group.Logistic regression analysis showed that WBC count [Hazard ratio (HR): 0.816, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.728-0.914, p < 0.001], NLR (HR: 0.482, CI: 0.355-0.654, p < 0.001), pain-to-balloon time (HR: 0.976, CI:0.960-0.991, p = 0.002) and mGPS (HR: 3.213, CI: 1.643- 6.283, p = 0.001) were independent predictive factors for NRP.
Conclusions: Modified GPS is an independent predictive factor for NRP in patients undergoing pPCI for STEMI.

Authors: Gohain T. , Lenmem Y. , Tzudir Lanunola
Published: July 2023

Background: Agricultural background of rural India, maintaining cattle is very important, but due to the lack of pasture land and fodder production, it is tough to maintain the cattle with the farmers. However, producing fodder crops throughout the year makes it possible to maintain cattle. During the rainy season, different grasses are available, but during the rabi season dry period, fodder becomes scares, so growing fodder oats will compensate during the lean period. Methods: A field experiment was conducted during the rabi season of 2019 and 2020 at the experimental research farm, School of Agricultural Sciences, Nagaland University, Medziphema. The experiment consisted of six varieties of oat, namely, V1-OS-346, V2-OS-403, V3-WJ-8, V4-OS-6, V5-OS-7 and V6-OS-377, which were laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with four replications to find out the best suitable variety under rainfed condition of Nagaland. Result: The study revealed that all the oat varieties grew well under Nagaland conditions. The variety OS-403 recorded the highest plant height (72.69 cm) and was at par with variety WJ-8 (72.43 cm). Among the varieties, green fodder yield and dry matter yield were significant. The variety OS-403 recorded the highest green fodder yield (148 q/ha), followed by WJ-8 (143.11 q/ha). Similar is the trend for dry matter yield. The variety OS-403 recorded the highest dry matter yield (27.97q/ha), at par with variety WJ-8 (27.22 q/ha). Crude protein content (%) and crude protein yield (q/ha) were non-significant among the different oat varieties.

Authors: Jia Ting , Liu Yu-Ting , Zhang1 Hao , Zhu Wan-Long
Published: July 2023

Background: The ability to respond to global change and coexist with other species depends on phenotypic plasticity and physiological adaptation techniques of the same species living in various places differ according to the region. Methods: Eothenomys miletus from Kunming (KM) and Dali (DL) under fasting and refeeding acclimation, we examined the thermogenic properties and the associated physiological indicators in the AMP dependent protein kinase (AMPK) pathway. Result: The results demonstrated that energy consumption in E. miletus was decreased by fasting and that the process of survival adaption was significantly influenced by body mass, ghrelin concentration and AMPK activity. Following refeeding, pertinent physiological markers leveled off in the control group, demonstrating the high phenotypic plasticity of E. miletus and the critical role that leptin, ghrelin and AMPK pathways play in energy metabolism and environmental adaption during food fasting. Moreover, there may be a connection between geographical variations in physiological indicators under fasting conditions and variations in the ambient temperature and the food available to E. miletus in various places.

Depuis plusieurs décennies, des entreprises appartenant à des secteurs d’activité qui présentent un danger pour la santé des êtres humains, voire pour la planète, ont su déployer des outils puissants de communication en vue d’instiller le doute sur la réalité dudit danger dans l’esprit du grand public, mais aussi du personnel politique. Pour y parvenir, des travaux scientifiques contradictoires sont mobilisés, largement diffusés dans les médias et sur les réseaux sociaux, et leurs conclusions ne permettant pas de trancher définitivement dans un sens ou dans un autre, l’absence de certitude avérée freine la mise en œuvre de toute action réglementaire de protection. Vendre le doute est une démarche désormais largement étudiée par des chercheurs en sociologie critique ou en histoire des sciences, mais encore peu, voire pas investiguée en systèmes d’information et de communication. Il s’agit pourtant d’une thématique majeure pour mieux comprendre l’usage des outils de communication par des entreprises qui cherchent ainsi à manipuler les masses. En référence à une méthodologie fondée sur des « traces », la note de recherche identifie les soubassements historiques de la propagation massive du doute, à partir des débats fondés sur le « faux équilibre ». L’enjeu est de systématiser le relativisme dans une perspective de triomphe de la post-vérité dont les avancées depuis deux décennies s’expliquent à la fois par le silence des élites scientifiques et par le dévoiement d’un journalisme parfois peu rigoureux.

 

For decades, companies operating in sectors that pose a threat to human health, or even to the planet, have been deploying powerful communication tools to instill doubt in the minds of the public, as well as politicians, as to the reality of the danger. To achieve this, contradictory scientific studies are used, and widely disseminated on media and social networks, and their conclusions do not allow a definitive decision to be made. The absence of proven certainty thus slows down the implementation of any regulatory protective action. Selling doubt is an approach now widely studied by researchers in critical sociology and the history of science, but still little or no investigation into information and communication systems. Yet it is a major theme in understanding the use of communication tools by companies seeking to manipulate the crowd. With reference to a methodology based on “traces,” the research note identifies the historical underpinnings of the massive spread of doubt, starting with debates based on “false balance” (or bothsidesism). The aim is to systematize relativism in the context of the triumph of post-truth, whose advances over the past two decades can be explained both by the silence of scientific elites and by the misuse of sometimes not very rigorous journalism.

Introduction : Le carcinome papillaire intra-kystique est une entité histologique rare de cancer du sein dont les principales caractéristiques sont l’évolution lente et un bon pronostic. Du fait de sa rareté, l’attitude thérapeutique varie selon les équipes. Nous rapportons une expérience de la prise en charge d’un de carcinome papillaire intra-kystique du sein chez une patiente de 59 ans. Observation médicale : Il s’agissait d’une patiente âgée de 59 ans, G8P8, ménopausée, ayant consulté pour masse du sein gauche. Cliniquement, le sein était de volume normal, le revêtement cutané était normal. La masse était ferme, mobile par rapport au plan superficiel et profond. Il n’y avait pas d’écoulement mamelonnaire ni d’adénopathie axillaire. La mammographie et l’échographie mammaire retrouvaient une lésion tissulaire probablement suspecte du QSE du sein gauche, classée ACR4. L’examen histologique après tumorectomie concluait à un carcinome papillaire intrakystique in situ du sein gauche. Une radiothérapie complémentaire a été réalisée avec bonne tolérance de la patiente. Après 3ans de recul, les examens de contrôle clinique et paraclinique étaient normaux.   Conclusion : Le carcinome papillaire intra-kystique est rare avec une prise en charge thérapeutique mal codifiée. Néanmoins il reste une entité histologique de bon pronostic.

 

Introduction: Intracystic papillary carcinoma is a rare histological entity of breast cancer whose main characteristics are slow evolution and good prognosis. Because of its rarity, the therapeutic attitude varies according to the team. We report our experience managing breast intracystic papillary carcinoma in patients 55-year-female. Medical observation: A 59-years old, woman( gravida 8, para 8), postmenopausal, consulted for breast lump. The lump was movable, without adenopathy. Mammography and breast ultrasound revealed a probably suspicious tissue lesion of the left breast, classified as ACR4. Histological examination after tumorectomy concluded an intracystic papillary carcinoma. Complementary radiotherapy was performed with good tolerance of the patient. After 3 years of follow-up, the clinical and imaging findings were normal. Conclusion: Intracystic papillary carcinoma is a rare disease with poorly codified therapeutic management. Nevertheless, it remains a histological entity with a good prognosis.
