Authors: Lumpatki Shraddha B. , Kavitha Karakkattu V. , Manohar Manas V. , Unnikrishnan Ambika G.
Published: August 2023

Painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDPN) is a commonly encountered problem by a physician and poses a major treatment challenge. Although poor glycemic control is considered to be a main cause for the development of peripheral neuropathy, the overall etiopathogenesis remains unclear and needs further research. There are various tools to assess the status of nerves, but PDPN being a subjective factor is often measured in terms of pain scores or pain scale looking at the intensity and the phenotype of pain. PDPN affects the individual's quality of life and daily living and often disturbs the sleep and mental health. The management of PDPN includes achieving good glycemic control, following foot care practices, including the use of appropriate footwear and treatment for pain relief. The treatment of choice varies from topical application to the pain relieving patches and use of drugs such as anticonvulsants, antidepressants, and opioids which have shown some beneficial effect. Interventional and regional anesthesia have also been tried for the treatment of PDPN. Surgical decompression has shown a favorable effect on pain relief. There are unmet needs in the therapeutic management of PDPN, as available drugs give acceptable pain relief in very few patients, and fear of side effects may limit full-dose treatment. Till date, no medicine is available to reverse neuropathy.

Background

There is paucity of Indian studies on comprehensive assessment of systemic comorbidities in psoriasis. This study aimed at assessing the systemic comorbidities in patients of psoriasis in India.

Patients and methods

A case–control study was conducted from September 2019 to August 2021. Study participants of more than 18 years, with 30 psoriasis patients as cases and 30 healthy individuals as controls. Assessment of Psoriasis Area Severity Index in cases, BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, and detailed systemic index evaluation was done in both the groups. Analyses were done using χ
2 test and independent t test. Analysis of variance test is used to compare continuous variables among more than two groups. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval were calculated.

Results

The mean age of psoriasis cases was 45.03±13.1 years with 73.3% of male and 26.7% of female population. Mean duration of psoriasis observed is 6.9±4.2 years with the mean Psoriasis Area Severity Index of 17.73±6.389. Comparison of systemic indices demonstrated significant increase in neutrophil count (P=0.006), erythrocyte-sedimentation rate (P<0.0001), glycated hemoglobin (P=0.037), low-density lipoprotein (P=0.0418), T3 (P<0.0001), and T4 (P=0.018). No significant difference in the liver-function test and renal-function test was seen in both the groups. Comparison of the prevalence of diseases associated with psoriasis, shows that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (60 vs. 30%, OR=3.5, P=0.021), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (26.6 vs. 6.6%, P=0.002, OR=14), increase in the carotid artery intimal thickness on both sides (right P=0.007, OR=5; left P=0.005, OR=7), and the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (70 vs. 33.3%, P=0.005, OR=4.66) is significantly increased in cases as compared with controls. Other diseases like obesity (BMI: OR=2.0417, P=0.187; waist circumference: OR=2.25, P=0.123), type-2 diabetes mellitus (P=0.56, OR=1.40), hypertension (P=0.78, OR=1.15), and renal disease (P=1, OR=1) is found to have greater risk in psoriasis patients than controls, but the reflecting difference is not statistically significant.

Conclusion

The study revealed that the patients of psoriasis are more likely to have systemic comorbidities as compared with patients without psoriasis.

Published: August 2023

Background & objectives:

Government of India (GoI) released operational guidelines for maternal near miss-review (MNM-R) in 2014 for use by programme managers of public health system to assist them for conducting MNM-R. The objective of the present study was to review the incidence and factors influencing MNM events in two tertiary hospitals of Maharashtra, India, as per the operational guidelines of the GoI released in 2014 and identify delays based on three-delay model to prevent such events in future.

Methods:

This prospective observational study was conducted in two tertiary hospitals of Maharashtra, from July 2018 to November 2020. All women during pregnancy, childbirth or postpartum upto 42 days meeting the eligibility criteria of MNM as per the 2014 GoI guidelines were included as cases (n=228), interviewed and discussed during the monthly MNM meetings at these hospitals.

Results:

The incidence of MNM was 11/1000 live births; the ratio of MNM to maternal deaths was 1.2:1. Leading causes of MNM were haemorrhage (36.4%) and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (30.3%). Haemorrhage was maximum (70.6%) in abortion and ectopic pregnancies. Majority of the women (80.2%) were anaemic, of whom 32.4 per cent had severe anaemia. Eighty six per cent of women included in the study had MNM events at the time of admission and 81 per cent were referred from lower facilities. Level one and two delays were reported by 52.6 and 32.5 per cent of women, respectively. Level three delay at referral centres and at tertiary hospitals was reported by 69.7 and 48.2 per cent of women, respectively.

Interpretation & conclusions:

The findings of this study suggest that MNM-R should be undertaken at all tertiary hospitals in India as per GoI guidelines to identify gaps based on three-delay model. These hospitals should implement interventions as per the identified gaps with emphasis on strengthening the infrastructure, facilities and manpower at the first-referral units.

Published: August 2023

Skin biopsy has a crucial place in arriving at a definitive diagnosis in many pediatric dermatologic conditions. The need to perform a skin biopsy on a child may provoke apprehension in the parents/caregivers, which can be alleviated by establishing a good rapport with them. The details of the procedure, including benefits and risks involved, and the expected result should be communicated to the parents in an easy-to-understand language to have an informed decision. In this review, literature search was done across the PubMed database from January 1992 to January 2022 using the following keywords “skin biopsy in children,” “skin biopsy in pediatric age group,” “pediatric dermatopathology,” “dermatologic surgery in children,” “dermatologic surgery in pediatric age group,” “pediatric dermatologic surgery,” and “procedures in pediatric dermatology.” Articles not written in the English language were excluded.

ABSTRACT

Objectives:

The purpose of this study is to explore and evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of using antibiotics among the community in the Eastern Province, of Saudi Arabia.

Methods:

A cross-sectional study was conducted, from February 2022 through March 2022, among people in Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia.

Results:

The study population was 753 of the Saudi community. The questionnaire used open-ended and multiple-choice questions. Out of 753 participants, only 254 (55.6%) think that antibiotics can treat a bacterial infection, whereas 163 (35.7%) and 82 (17.9%) think it treats viral and fungal infections respectively. 26 (5.7%) of the respondents think that they should be stopped when the antibiotics are finished, while 72 (15.8%) think that they should be stopped when the symptoms disappear. The most common side effect in the respondent’s opinion was diarrhea 183 (40%), followed by 168 (36.76%) antibiotics resistance. The major reason for taking antibiotics without a prescription was found to be mild symptoms 28 (50.90%), adequate information 21 (38.18%), difficulty in taking appointments 17 (30.90%), long waiting hours during the hospital visits 15 (27.27%). 169 (36.9%) kept the leftover antibiotics for reuse. The most common antibiotics used for self-medication were found to be Amoxicillin and clavulanic acid 23 (41.8%), followed by Amoxicillin 9 (16.36%). Knowledge of antibiotic resistance was highest in the age group 20-30 (62.7%) (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

People in Saudi Arabia show a high awareness of antibiotics’ proper usage, and this returns to the great awareness campaign held by The Ministry of Health (MoH).

Published: August 2023

Background:

MGMT (O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase) is a DNA repair enzyme, that rescues tumor cells from damage by alkylating agents like temozolomide (TMZ). Promotor methylation of MGMT leads to epigenetic silencing and potentially increased sensitivity to TMZ. MGMT methylation (mMGMT) is an independent favorable prognostic factor, and has confounded its role as a predictive biomarker in making therapeutic decisions for glial tumors, particularly glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).

Materials and Methods:

This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted for 5 years in high-grade tumors (HCG) Cancer Hospital between January 2016 and December 2020. Methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction of MGMT gene using bisulfite modification of tumor DNA was utilized to ascertain the methylation status of cases in the cohort.

Results:

A total of 54 glial tumors comprising 35 males and 18 females between the age group 11 years to 76 years underwent mMGMT testing. About 64.8% (35 cases) of all glial tumors demonstrated mMGMT in the cohort; GBM accounting for a majority of the cases (80.0%; 28 cases). The percentage of mMGMT cases in males and females was found to be 60.0% and 73.0% of cases, respectively. The confluent necrosis commonly seen in GBM is present in 41.0% of methylated cases and minimal in 77.3% of unmethylated cases with a significant P < 0.05.

Conclusion:

MMGMT is a valuable predictive biomarker and is essential in taking the therapeutic decision in newly diagnosed glial tumors. Necrosis can be used as an indicator of mMGMT status according to the present study.

Published: August 2023

Background:

Lung cancer is the poster child for advances in molecular oncology with a myriad of targeted therapies in NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer) management. Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) mutations are routinely isolated in NSCLC and account for a third of NSCLC oncogene driver tumors in Caucasian populations. The mutation is classically notorious to target with most therapies employed in management of KRASmut NSCLC being inhibitors of downstream signaling such as mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitors (trametinib and selumetinib). There is a lacuna of information regarding prevalence and molecular epidemiology of KRAS mutations in NSCLC from an Indian context.

Materials and Methods:

The following study is a retrospective analysis of the incidence of KRAS epidemiology in high concentration epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) samples at a tertiary care hospital in South India from 2015 to 2017. Samples were selected following histopathological assessment and were subjected to nucleic acid extraction. KRAS mutation testing was performed using real-time polymerase chain reaction to ascertain the molecular epidemiology of KRAS in NSCLC patients.

Results:

KRAS mutations were observed in 15/44 NSCLC patients (34.09%) with a M:F ratio of 2:1. Majority of the mutations were single mutations, with 3 cases showing double mutations. Codon 12 mutations were observed in 6 cases followed by codon 146 mutations seen in 5 cases. Exon 3 (codon 59 and codon 61) and exon 4 (codon 117 and codon 146) were isolated in 5 and 3 cases, respectively. The current study demonstrated an elevated frequency for KRAS mutations in comparison to Asian cohorts.

Conclusion:

The advent of directly targeting KRAS inhibitors such as sotorasib (KRAS G12C inhibitor) necessitates KRAS mutation testing and warrants inclusion in the initial molecular workup of NSCLC.

Published: August 2023

INTRODUCTION: Even while studying programming languages is essential for science and technology education, some students, especially novices, may find it challenging. One reason might be that these pupils are unable to comprehend programming basics, notably the usage of selective and repeated structures (loops), which are too complex and abstract for them to comprehend. OBJECTIVES: Programming structured applications requires understanding the relationship between variable-operators and declarations, so a more intuitive and practical visualization technique is needed. In view of this, this article presents an augmented reality (AR) learning system using a DF-RA mobile application that offers visual representation and interactivity to help college students in entry-level computer science-related majors learn to program structured applications using dynamic and interactive flowcharts. METHODS: In order to examine the influences of said Augmented Reality-enhanced system on student learning, an experiment will be carried out within the group with 34 university students. All students used both an augmented reality-enhanced version and a conventional paper version (classic methodology with paper flowcharts). RESULTS: The expected results is that the augmented reality version through the DF-RA mobile application made students have a better learning efficiency than the traditional paper system. In addition, the system enhanced with Augmented Reality also made students have improved perceptions in terms of system usability, flow experience, and usage perception. CONCLUSION: Experimental findings were analyzed to demonstrate that the augmented reality learning system increases students' motivation to study structured programming fundamentals and their practical competence.

Published: August 2023

The Halal Product Process (PPH) with a self-declare scheme is one of the facilities provided by the Indonesian government to small micro enterprises (UMK) to obtain halal certificates for their products. In 2023 the government through Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Produk Halal (BPJPH) of the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia has targeted 1 million UMK products to get halal certificates. To realize this target, the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia then issued a Minister of Religion Regulation which requires assistance to business actors in applying for halal certification through a self-declare scheme. The purpose of this Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (PKM) is to assist business actors in applying for halal product certification by verifying and validating the halal statement submitted by business actors before being forwarded to the fatwa committee to determine the certificate. The assistance process begins with assisting business actors in submitting a risk-based business identification number (NIB) from the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) of the Republic of Indonesia. The process of assisting in submitting halal products begins after a business actor obtains an NIB. After carrying out intensive assistance for approximately 2 months, the business actor succeeded in obtaining a halal certificate for his product.Keywords: Halal Certification; Self Declare; Small Micro Business.

Generally speaking, while making decisions, it is more customary to rely on intuition rather than any form of numerical technique. In areas where there are many options and many factors impacting the choice, such as the selection of materials, a more precise approach would be necessary. It is necessary to understand the material's characteristics, price, design principles, and interactions while making mechanical parts. Material science has not only produced traditional materials such as metals, ceramics, and polymers but has also given rise to various novel materials like composites, smart (intelligent) materials, and functionally graded materials.
A designer now has access to a wider range of materials than ever before thanks to the growth of knowledge. In these instances, a strategic choice must be made in order to satisfy all the functional specifications of the product while upholding client requests and preferences. The performance criteria of the component must be specified, along with a general description of the properties and processing needs of the primary material,
As the first stage of the material selection process. Consequently, certain material types might be ruled out, while others are chosen as potential options for the component. The relevant material properties are subsequently listed and assigned a priority ranking. The best material can then be chosen using optimization techniques. The result of the COPRAS analysis is followed by Al 2024-T4 is the first rank, Carbon 63% Epoxy is last rank. Based on the analysis, the materials ranked highest for usage are as follows: Al 2024-T4 aluminum alloy, E-glass 73%-Epoxy, E-glass 56% Epoxy, and E-glass 65% Polyester. These selections have been carefully assessed and determined to be the most suitable options, taking into account their specific properties and how well they align with the intended application. The Al 2024-T4 aluminum alloy exhibits excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for structural components. E-glass 73%-Epoxy, E-glass 56% Epoxy, and E-glass 65% Polyester offer a combination of strength, flexibility, and durability, catering to various requirements within the application. The meticulous evaluation of these materials ensures that the chosen ones will deliver optimal performance and reliability in the designated context.

In this paper, the fabrication of CNTFET with the help of simulation using cadence virtuoso is presented. The process of fabricating Carbon Nanotube Field-Effect Transistors (CNTFETs) is a sophisticated task that demands great attention to detail. To aid in the design and optimization of CNTFET fabrication processes, simulation tools are often utilized. CNTFET fabrication simulations generally involve modeling the physical and chemical processes of creating the carbon nanotube channel, as well as the device's metal contacts and other components. Simulation tools such as COMSOL Multiphysics or Lumerical are used to model the mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of the materials involved, and to predict how they will behave during fabrication. An essential challenge in CNTFET fabrication is obtaining precise control over the nanotube placement and orientation, which can be addressed through modeling the nanotube growth and optimizing the growth parameters to achieve the desired properties. Furthermore, simulations can assist in optimizing the process parameters for depositing metal contacts on the nanotubes, which is critical for achieving good device performance. Overall, simulation tools play a vital role in the CNTFET fabrication process, enabling researchers to optimize the device design and fabrication parameters for improved performance and yield.

Learning difficulties refer to situations faced by students during their participation in the learning process, caused by disruptions in neurological (cognitive) and psychological functions, as well as other aspects. These learning difficulties can be experienced by students in both general academic aspects and more specific fields. The purpose of this research is to integrate cognitive principles into pedagogical competencies with the aim of enhancing the quality of teaching and learning. To achieve this objective, the research utilizes a qualitative approach, relying on data collection and analysis rather than statistical calculations. Additionally, the author conducted a literature review using relevant sources on the pedagogical competencies of CRE teachers, integrating cognitive factors into the learning process, providing analysis, and explanations. The results of this research are intended to help improve the professionalism of CRE teachers in delivering more engaging, relevant, and meaningful learning materials to students.
