Published: November 2022

Background: Health seeking behaviour of mothers plays an important part in the well-being of low birth weight (LBW) babies. Infant mortality is very high in Assam and care seeking behaviours of mothers influence the health outcomes of infants. Objective: This study was attempted with the objective of assessing the prevailing care seeking behaviours among mothers from tribal community for their LBW babies during their first year of life. Materials & Methods: A cross section study was conducted among 112 tribal mothers of LBW babies in a rural block of Kamrup district of Assam. A predesigned pretested questionnaire was used to collect data among mothers of LBW babies after obtaining informed consent, regarding socio-demographic characteristics of mothers, feeding and care practices for LBW babies, knowledge on special care to LBW babies, health seeking behaviours of mothers. Collected data compiled, tabulated and analysed using appropriate software. Results: Our study found that 87.5% of mothers could recognize LBW condition. Most of them (84.8%) understood the need for special care to their LBW babies. Exclusive breastfeeding, good nutrition to mother and baby, Kangaroo Mother Care, delayed bathing were some of the special care practices adopted by our study population. In our study 30% mothers were found to be practising KMC. Conclusion: On analysis of determinants of health seeking behaviours we found that adequate exposure of mothers to mass media was significantly associated with appropriate health seeking behaviours.

Published: November 2022

Post COVID-19 MIS-C cases are on the rise recently and various cardiac abnormalities are reported among them in different literature. Here we have presented six cases of MIS-C with significant echocardiographic abnormality. They have a varied presentation like acute encephalitis, acute renal failure, incomplete Kawasaki, shock or acute gastroenteritis along with fever. Our cases have raised inflammatory markers like ESR, CRP, IL-6 with increased D-dimer, CPK-MB and positive COVID serology. Except case5, none has any cardiovascular presentation but every case has some important echocardiographic finding. Mild pericardial effusion was present in two cases, gross LV systolic dysfunction with LVEF 40-45% in one case, significant coronary artery dilatation in three cases and valvular abnormality like MR or TR in three cases. So it is extremely important to evaluate every case of MIS-C with proper echocardiography even if they had no cardiac manifestation at presentation to prevent complication afterwards. Keywords: COVID -19, MIS-C, Echocardiography

Authors: MBONDOBARI Sylvère
Published: November 2022

Cet article s’attache surtout au renouvellement du discours sur l’Afrique. Il s’intéresse à la pensée africaine contemporaine, à ses perspectives, à ses paradigmes. Soucieux de penser le monde à partir de l’Afrique, Achille Mbembe, Souleymane Bachir Diagne, Felwine Sarr, etc. cherchent, dans une époque marquée par le tournant postcolonial, à faire entendre une voix dissidente et singulière. Notre étude examine les voies que Mbembe emprunte pour élaborer un nouveau discours sur l’Afrique et comment l’historien de l’Afrique devient un théoricien de la globalisation en initiant une réflexion sur l’afropolitanisme et le cosmopolitisme.
A Performance Analysis of MANET Routing Protocols
Authors: Veepin Kumar  , Sanjay Singla
Published: November 2022

A group of mobile nodes creates an arrangement connected to a remote media, forming a dynamic topology. In adhoc networks, Any time a device sends data to another node, that node uses energy, and occasionally the data transmission will halt when all the power is used up. The difficulty with MANET is reducing the energy consumption of the network's intermediary devices so that the network is active during data transmission because Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) devices are often power-driven. Then, using performance measurements, a performance analysis is carried out across several routing protocols, including Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Ad-hoc On-Demand Multipath Distance Vector (AOMDV), Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector Routing (DSDV), and Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV). The performance analysis is done using the NS2.35 simulator.

Possible reasons for cracking of composite scintillators after irradiation in an electron accelerator at a high dose rate are proposed. The main causes of cracking of composite scintillators, such as ionizing radiation and thermal expansion, are considered. Ionizing radiation can affect the polymer part of the composite scintillator, while thermal
expansion mainly affects the crystal grains. A possible mechanism of cracking the composite scintillator during high dose rate irradiation is described.
A World Re-Created : The Life of The Hungarian Ballet Dancer, Dance Educator, and Choreographer Kalman Solymossy in Australian Emigration
Authors: Tongori Ágota
Published: November 2022

After fleeing Hungary due to his participation in the 1956 revolution, Kalman Solymossy left behind his renowned status as a dancer of the Budapest Opera House and had to start his life from scratch. Dance held a central position in Solymossy’s life, whatever the circumstances. Although there was no demand for dancers when he arrived in Australia, his everlasting optimism, endurance and courage helped him stick to the path he had chosen, leading him to establish the largest ballet school of his time in Australia while educating and supporting dancers, many of whom later chose dance as their profession. With his choreography and his presence on TV, Solymossy significantly contributed to the cultural life of Australia and its Hungarian community. The present article is based on primary, secondary, and tertiary sources, relying mainly on convenience sampling of the available resources accessed through both Australian and Hungarian online archives. This study presents a critical period in Solymossy’s influential career and highlights a number of uncertain aspects of his life, topics which have so far been sparsely examined.

UNFOLDING THE REALITY OF SMOKING PARADOX IN PATIENTS PRESENTING WITH STE-ACS UNDERGOING PRIMARY PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY TREATMENT
Authors: Siddiqui Maria Noor , Kumar Rajesh , Sial Jawaid Akbar , Karim Musa
Published: November 2022

Objectives: Main objective for this study to unfold this controversy in South Asian population in terms of clinical, angiographic parameters and its in-hospital outcomes.

Methodology: In this study, we included 1756 consecutive patients diagnosed with STEMI undergoing primary PCI. Patients were classified into smokers and nonsmokers. Comparison was done on the basis of baseline characteristics, clinical presentation, angiographic features and in-hospital mortality between two groups. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the paradoxical role of smoking.

Results: Smokers were younger (53.78±11.16 years vs. 56.43±11.17 years; p<0.001) and more frequently male (98.7% vs. 69.9%; p<0.001), and had less diabetes (19.6% vs. 44.8%; p<0.001) and hypertension (38.5% vs. 64.9%; p<0.001). Smokers presented less frequently in Killip III (5.6% vs. 8.1%; p<0.001) and Killip IV (2.5% vs. 4.8%; p<0.001) in smokers group. Smokers mostly had single vessel disease (41.7% vs. 34.4%; p=0.013) whereas non-smokers had complex disease and frequently presented with total occlusion of the culprit vessel (64.6% vs. 58.8%; p=0.040). Complication such as slow flow/no-flow (24.3% vs. 33.2%; p<0.001) and cardiogenic shock (2.3% vs. 4.6%; p<0.001) were also seen less often among smokers. Smokers has significantly lesser mortality (1.8% vs. 4.3%; p=0.009) compared to non-smokers with an odds ratio (OR) of 0.41 [95% CI: 0.21-0.82, p=0.011], however, adjusted OR on multivariable analysis was 0.67 [95% CI: 0.31-1.41, p=0.290]. Independent predictors of mortality were found to be history of CVA/stroke, pre-procedure LVEDP, multi-vessel diseases, and RBS in ER adjusted OR of 3.83 [95% CI: 1.24-11.79; p=0.019], 1.07 [95% CI: 1.03-1.12; p=0.002], 2.2 [95% CI: 1.07-4.54; p=0.033], and 1 [95% CI: 1.0-1.01; p=0.032], respectively.

Conclusion: The controversial phenomenon of smoking paradox seems to be unfolded in South Asian population in post STE-ACS patients. The paradoxical protective role of smoking is confounding effect of mainly younger age, less coronary artery disease burden and complexity, lower prevalence of diabetes and hypertension and lower rate of Killip III/IV at presentation. Hence, the protective effect is insignificant in multivariable analysis and history of CVA/stroke, pre-procedure LVEDP, multi-vessel diseases, and RBS in ER were found to be independent predictors of in-hospital mortality.

Authors: Shafiq Umer , Wahab Muhammad Abdul , Rahman Syed Kashif ur
Published: November 2022

Objectives: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is considered as one of the important priorities in the health systems of all countries. Approximately 550,000 first episodes and 200,000 recurrent episodes of acute myocardial infarction occur annually worldwide. Globally, ischemic heart disease has become the leading contributor to the burden of disease as assessed on the basis of disability-adjusted life-years. To determine the efficacy of accelerated streptokinase in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction.

Methodology: This Descriptive study was done in the Department of Cardiology, Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar from August 2020 to February 2021. Total 144 patients were observed. All patients were subjected to SK in a dose of 1.5million units over 60 minutes. All patients were under strict observation and a repeat ECG was performed to determine the efficacy of accelerated SK.

Results: Our study shows that among 144 patients mean age and standard deviation was 61± 8.19. 88(61%) patients were male and 56(39%) patients were female. More over accelerated streptokinase was effective in 92(64%) patients and was not effective in 52(36%) patients.

Conclusion: The accelerated SK infusion regimen of 1.5 MU in 20 min is safe and well tolerated with significantly faster and higher clinical reperfusion rates, more preserved LV systolic function, less atrial and ventricular sustained arrhythmias, and less in-hospital and 1 year mortality rates in acute STEMI.
USE OF THE STERI-STRIPS IN ACHIEVING RADIAL ARTERIAL ACCESS HEMOSTASIS
Authors: Khan Kamran Ahmed
Published: November 2022

Objectives: The compression duration of the radial artery remained a key concern after coronary angiography (CA) and interventions via trans-radial access (TRA). We evaluate the impact of application of steri-strips along with conventional pneumatic trans-radial (TR) band on duration of compression required for hemostasis after diagnostic CA.

Methodology: In this open labeled randomized clinical trial, total of 209 patients who underwent diagnostic CA were randomized in 1:1 ratio into TR band with steri-strips (treatment) and conventional TR band alone (control) for achieving hemostasis. All patients were followed for 1 month. The primary endpoint was the duration of application of TR band and secondary endpoints were radial artery occlusion (RAO) and major bleeding.

Results: 106 patients received steri-strip along with TR band and 103 patients received TR band alone. The median duration of application of TR band was 60 [IQR: 60-60] min in the treatment group and 250 [IQR: 240-360] min in the control group; p≤0.001. The major bleed requiring reapplication of TR band was 9.4% vs. 4.9%; p=0.364 and hematoma (type I only) was 7.5% vs. 9.7%, p=0.578 in the treatment and control group respectively. Radial artery was palpable in 95.3% vs. 85.4%; p=0.016 after 24 hours and 96.2% vs. 88.3%; p=0.0.032, at 1 month in the treatment and control arm respectively.

Conclusion: Use of steri-strips is helpful in significantly reducing the compression duration of TR band and improving the patency of radial artery after diagnostic angiography with no significant rise in hematoma or major bleeding complications. Keywords: Steri-strips, radial artery, pneumatic TR band, coronary angiography, radial artery patency, radial artery occlusion.

Objectives: Discharge/Left Against Medical Advice (AMA) is associated with worse outcomes in terms of MACE. There are no descriptions of ACS patients who left AMA in our nation cohorts. The aims of this study is to determine MACE in patients signing DAMA/LAMA and quantifying factors associated with LAMA in ACS patients in our population.

Methodology: An Ambi directional cohort study conducted on a total of n=257 patients from Jan 2014 to Dec 2018 who left AMA from a tertiary care hospital. Background data was collected from hospital electronic database and then patients/attendants were contacted through telephonic calls and email for follow up. Primary and secondary end points were to determine MACE and quantify factors associated with discharge AMA respectively.

Results: A total of n=346 patients signed discharge AMA from Jan 2014 to Dec 2018 out of which n=257 were successfully contacted and shared data after informed verbal consents. Out of 257, 63%(n=163) were men and 36.57%(n=94) were female. Hypertension was the common risk factor in both genders 80%(n=205) followed by DM and family history of premature coronary artery disease. Most common mode of presentation was NSTEMI followed by unstable angina and STEMI. Most common reason of LAMA was financial constraints in 43.1%(n=111) followed by treatment preferences in another setup and code DNR (don’t resuscitate). 22.57% patients belonged to low socioeconomic status. Total mortality till date of follow up was 60.7% (n=156) with One-year mortality of 78.8% (n=123) and 1st week mortality after LAMA was 15.18% (n=39). About 35.40% (n=91) of patient left to home and had mortality of 41%(n=64) and 64.56% (n=166) left for another hospital and had mortality of 58.97% (n=92). Those who survived had prevalence of recurrent MI and heart failure of 76% and 49% respectively on follow up.

Conclusion: Discharge against medical advice in ACS patients is associated with higher mortality. We need to educate our patients/attendant regarding disease severity, need of timely interventions and prognosis to decrease frequency of discharge AMA and minimize mortality.

Results: As per changes in RV parameters before PTMC and 24 hours PTMC, mean and SDs for RVSAP was 5.70+4.50 with P Value 0.000. Mean and SDs for RVOT-FS was -1.22+3.02 with P Value 0.003. Mean and SDs for RV ETi index was 0.14+0.015 with P Value 0.000. Mean and SDs for RV wall thickness was 0.10+0.03 with P Value 0.000.  Mean and SDs for pulmonary artery systolic pressure 17.099+4.20 with P Value 0.000.

Conclusion: PTMC has significant effect on pre and post changes in right ventricular function amongst patients subjected to percutaneous mitral valve commissurotomy for mitral stenosis.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF HEPATOTOXIC POTENTIAL OF SIMVASTATIN WITH ROSUVASTATIN AND REVERSAL VIA MONTELUKAST & COENZYME Q10 IN BALB/C MICE
Authors: Khan Manzoor , Jahan Sarwat , Ashraf Amber
Published: November 2022

Objectives: Statins cause elevations of AST and ALT, cholestatic hepatotoxicity, fulminant hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, and cirrhosis. (2) Various mechanisms are hypothesized including reduced levels of Coenzyme Q10, inflammation and oxidative stress. Coenzyme Q10 is anti-apoptotic and possess antioxidative potential whereas Montelukast can reduce the inflammation via inhibition of leukotrienepathway. Hence both these drugs may have a protective effect against statin induced hepatotoxicity. This study will include the comparison of hepatotoxic potential of simvastatin and rosuvastatin and assess the hepatoprotective efficacy of montelukast and coenzyme 10.

Methodology: An experimental study of 2 weeks was conducted in the department of Pharmacology on a sample of 35 mice, randomly divided into 7 groups of 5 mice each for 2 weeks.  Group 1 was used as control. Group 2 received simvastatin 50mg/kg/day of simvastatin intraperitoneally (I/P). Group 3 received I/P 50mg/kg/day rosuvastatin. Group 4 received 50mg/kg/day I/P simvastatin+3mg/kg of Montelukast. Group 5 received 50mg/kg/day of rosuvastatin +3mg/kg of Montelukast. Group 6 received 50mg/kg/day of simvastatin+10mg/kg of coenzyme Q10. Group 7 received 50mg/kg/day of rosuvastatin+10mg/kg of coenzyme Q10 I/P.

Results: Both the statins showed hepatotoxicity, however Simvastatin showed higher liver function derangements. Montelukast did not reduce hepatotoxicity significantly. A slightly lower rise in liver parameters was however observed. Coenzyme Q10 did not show any protective potential against the statins, rather higher liver function derangements were observed.

Conclusion: Simvastatin is more hepatotoxic as compared to Rosuvastatin. Motelukast does have a slight protective effect but is not significant enough. Coenzyme Q10 was not only not protective but infact indicated a hepatotoxic rend either by itself or via potentiating of statin induced hepatotoxicity.
Peniocereus serpentinus AND Austrocylindropuntia subulata, NEW HOSTS OF THE CACTUS WEEVIL (Metamasius spinolae Gyllenhal) IN THE STATE OF MEXICO
Authors: Sánchez Pale Jesús Ricardo , QUEZADA SALINAS ANDRES , Moreno Velázquez Magnolia , Oliva Hurtado María Margarita
Published: November 2022

The cactus weevil (Metamasius spinolae) is a pest of Opuntia ficus-indica. It can develop not only in Opuntia species but also in other cacti and members of the Asparagaceae family. In 2017, damage and presence of adult insects with characteristics similar to the cactus weevil were reported in two species of cacti, Austrocylindropuntia subulata and Peniocereus serpentinus. The objective was to identify the insect and determine if the two cacti species are hosts, field and laboratory research was conducted from 2017 to 2019 in the municipality of Axapusco, State of Mexico. Stems with larval damage were selected at four study sites, whic remained in field conditions until the emergence of adult insects. The behaviour of M. spinolae on the host plant, mating sites, incubation period and damage development over time were recorded. M. spinolae was identified and determined to fulfill its life cycle on A. subulata and P. serpentinus. Larvae cause the most damage by feeding on the internal part (pith) of the stems, which causes tissue rotting and death of the affected part. The adult feeds on tender buds and mature stems, causing deformation and weakening of the plant. The two cacti species proved to be host plants that can harbour populations of M. spinolae and, therefore, have a high potential to act as reservoirs of the pest, which can then migrate to prickly-pear cactus crop. This report expands the knowledge of hosts of the cactus weevil. The information obtained shall be useful for vegetable growers to apply phytosanitary measures in alternate hosts, combat reservoirs and avoid re-infestations of the pest.
DIGITAL TWIN METHODOLOGY FOR OBJECTIVE CONTROL OF LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY (THROUGH THE EXAMPLE OF PIG BREEDING)
Authors: SOLYANIK V. V. , SOLYANIK S. V.
Published: November 2022

According to the materials of the article, the digital twin of objective control of the agricultural enterprise should be based on monitoring the enterprise’s current account, on accounting entries, on the analysis of waybills, etc. Moreover, objective control should be carried out in real time by persons concerned with the obligatory informing of all employees of the enterprise. The temporal equality of two technological periods is justified: suckling, completion of growing, fattening of young pigs and rearing of replacement gilts, their insemination and pregnancy. The regularity in the equality of the two technological periods is the basis for the implementation of self-developing type-related technology (ST-technology), one of the elements of which is

the exclusion of the group of main sows from the production cycle and the transfer for slaughter of the first-litter sows, from which suckling piglets are weaned.

Published: November 2022

Various factors influence the milk productivity of cows. The article presents the results of studies conducted in the APB “Zaozerie” of JSC “Vitebsk Meat Processing Plant” on 326 cows with completed lactation. In the course of scientific and economic

experiment, it was found that the highest milk yield of 8417 kg was obtained from the cows of the 3rd lactation, with a significant increase in milk fat to the level of 316.4 kg. Gain in the live weight of cows in the herd to 651-700 kg contributes to a significant increase in their milk productivity to the level of 8430 kg of milk with a milk fat yield of 312.1 kg. The highest milk yield was obtained from cows with a dry period of 51-70 days - 9415 kg of milk (p≤0.001) with a milk fat yield of 358.7 kg and with a service period of 61-90 days - 7675 kg of milk with a milk fat yield of 285.5 kg (p≤0.001).

When raising young cattle, the aim is to minimize the consumption of whole milk, using a variety of milk substitutes to ensure normal growth and development of calves.

The purpose of the research, to which the article is devoted, was to develop the technology of feeding breeding heifers in the preweaning period, providing the normalization of metabolic processes in the body, as well as the improvement of feed use

efficiency. It has been established that feeding calves aged 10-65 days with the whole milk replacer according to the developed scheme has a positive effect on feed intake and enhances redox processes. It was also found that the average daily gain in live

weight of calves fed with whole milk was higher than that of counterparts consuming WMR by 3.7 % for the experiment. The cost of gain was almost the same.

The use of “protected” fats in feeding cows provides the animals with the necessary amount of energy. One of the most guaranteed sources of energy in diets and feed mixtures of cows are rapeseed products. The article presents research materials, the purpose of which was to establish the effect of a complex energy feed based on dry protected fat as part of rations for dairy cows during the period of increasing the milk yield on milk productivity and hematological parameters. Studies showed that the inclusion of energy feed based on dry protected fat in the diet of experimental animals in the amount of 3% by weight of the compound feed contributed to an increase in milk productivity by 8.1% and had a positive effect on hematological parameters.

Until recently, farms traditionally fed calves with dairy feed for 4 months, but the preweaning period can be reduced to 2-3 months. The main criterion for this is physiological development of calves and their ability to consume vegetable feed in the required quantities. The aim of the research was to develop the calf rearing system with the most effective duration of the preweaning period, ensuring the normal course of digestion processes and animal productivity. For this purpose, whole milk and dried skim milk replacers were developed. It was found that their inclusion in the diet instead of whole milk contributed to the strengthening of metabolic processes in the animals of experimental groups compared with the control counterparts. The use of dried skim milk and whole milk replacers when raising young animals during the preweaning period of 115 days reduced the cost of the diet by 10.3% and 5.8% and the cost of gain by 8.5% and 4.8%.

Percepção, emoção e escrita criativa
Authors: Larroza Andersen   Elenice
Published: November 2022

Este artículo analiza la escritura creativa como un proceso que trasciende el recurso del dominio cognitivo, representado por el conocimiento de las técnicas e instrumentos de escritura, para lograr la experiencia perceptiva y afectiva del escritor. Basado en hipótesis de Psicología Cognitiva (Lazarus, 1984) y Neurociencias (Damásio, 2012 [1994]) sobre la interdependencia entre razón y emoción, examina un libro de texto recientemente publicado, en el que un experimentado escritor y profesor brasileño (Assis Brasil, 2019) se ocupa de la creación literaria de narrativas de ficción, en busca de índices de estrategias de escritura que se asocien a la percepción sensorial y afectividad del escritor. A través de una metodología de abordaje cualitativo y guiada por los procedimientos de Análisis de Contenido, según Bardin (2016 [1977]), identifica los índices y los interpreta a la luz del marco teórico, discutiendo relaciones entre las ideas del autor que sustentan un proceso de creación literaria, con enfoque intrasubjetivo. Concluye que, en procesos creativos de mayor experiencia y complejidad, en lugar de dominar las técnicas lingüísticas y literarias, comprender el complejo funcionamiento biopsicosocial humano es un factor clave en la escritura de ficción y posiblemente una característica importante de los escritores hábiles.

In this study, we provide a subtitle synchronisation and placement system intended to improve deaf and hearing-impaired individuals' access to multimedia content. The paper's main contributions are a novel synchronisation algorithm that can reliably align the closed caption with the audio transcript without any human involvement and a timestamp refinement technique that can modify the duration of the subtitle segments in accordance with audiovisual recommendations. Regardless of the kind of video, the experimental evaluation of the strategy on a sizable dataset of 30 films pulled from the French national television verifies the method with average accuracy scores above 90%. The success of our strategy is demonstrated by the subjective assessment of the suggested subtitle synchronization and location system, carried out with real hearing challenged persons.
