Authors: Hymavathi Kaliki , Paturi Bhaavya , Akshitha Duvvuru , Sravya K
Published: October 2021

Preeclampsia is a multi-system disorder manifested primarily by hypertension and proteinuria during second half of pregnancy. It is a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite decades of research into the condition, the ability of clinicians to predict preeclampsia prior to the onset of symptoms has not improved significantly. In this review we will look at potential biomarkers for early prediction and diagnosis of preeclampsia.

To evaluate the efficacy of different biochemical and biophysical markers in the early weeks of gestation as screening tools for early prediction of preeclampsia.

This hospital-based prospective observational study conducted on 52 pregnant women, at less than 13 weeks of gestation were recruited. Maternal urine microalbumin, urinary albumin to creatinine ratio, and USG uterine artery PI levels were analyzed among the pregnant women who subsequently developed PE and compare with those who did not develop PE. Methods used for the detection of markers are: immunoturbidimetric method for urine albumin, modified kinetic Jaffe reaction without deproteinization for Urine creatinine and Uterine artery Doppler velocimetry was done by PHILIPS HD11XE transabdominal ultrasound machine using a 4-6 MHz probe with the same sonographer.

In the present study, spot urine microalbumin and spot urine albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) at 11-13 were significantly higher in women who developed PE subsequently when compared to nonpreeclamptic women.(P<0.0001). The mean levels of 1st and 2nd-trimester uterine artery PI significantly high in women who subsequently developed PE when compared to those who did not develop preeclampsia (P<0.0001). Study results showed a strong association between gestational age at delivery and neonatal outcome (neonatal birth weight and APGAR) with preeclampsia. The maternal urine microalbumin, albumin to creatinine ratio, and uterine artery PI found to have good sensitivity and specificity for early prediction of PE.

Study concluded that the women who are prone to develop PE subsequently, had high levels of MAP, UAPI, microalbuminuria and urine albumin to creatinine ratio than the normotensive women. In our setting, MAP, UAPI, microalbuminuria, and UACR markers appeared to be better screening modalities.

The combination of biochemical markers with the biophysical markers, demographic characteristics, and other novel markers will establish the effective screening models for early prediction of PE. Early identification of high-risk cases will offer an opportunity for prophylactic therapy, such as Low- dose Aspirin in selected groups of high-risk women screened in the first trimester, thus improving the maternal and perinatal outcome.

Authors: Subburaj Lakshmi , Rajkumar K
Published: October 2021

The prevalence of menstrual problems is high during adolescence according to published literature. It is essential to determine the menstrual hygiene practices among the adolescent girls and their predictors so as to ascertain the modalities for prevention of menstrual problems. The present study was conducted to evaluate the menstrual problems, menstrual hygiene and their risk factors.

This cross-sectional study was carried out among 244 school going adolescent girls in the field practice area of our institution. The participants were selected using two stage sampling. A structured interview schedule was used to obtain information regarding the demographic details, menstrual problems and menstrual hygiene. The data was entered and analyzed using SPSS software. Chi square test was used to analyze the statistical significance.

The present study showed a high prevalence for dysmenorrhea (75.4%). About 72.1% of the participants consume over-the-counter medicines for menstrual problems. Majority of the participants (92.2%) use sanitary napkins as absorbent materials. Only 22.1% of the participants wash their genitalia with soap and water during menstruation. About 10.2% of the participants do not take bath during menstruation. Age was a significant risk factor for menstrual hygiene (p<0.05).

The present study has emphasized on the need for creating awareness during the early adolescent age in order to inculcate hygienic menstrual practices. It is essential to make sanitary napkins available and affordable in the lower income groups. Moreover, there is a growing need to incorporate adolescent specific health services in the public health system.
Antenatal injection betamethasone- A fetal lung warrior
Authors: Pandya Manish R , Khandheriya Kalpana , Trivedi Vinay , Patel Khushbu
Published: October 2021

One of the most frequent causes of neonatal mortality or NICU admission of neonates especially in premature infants is Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome (NRDS). Antenatal steroids are the most important and widely utilized interventions for improvement of neonatal outcomes like reducing incidence of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), reducing neonatal NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) admission rates and also improve outcomes of pre-term infants. Antenatal steroids (ANS) like betamethasone 12 mg are given at 24 hourly IM at 28-34 weeks of gestation to mother. For administration of corticosteroids at less than 24 weeks of gestational age decision should be made at a senior level by taking all clinical aspects into consideration.

To observe the effect of Betamethasone administration IM in pregnant women at risk of pre-term delivery and fetal outcomes in terms of development of Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) admission rate by giving it between 28 to 34 weeks of gestation.

Antenatal corticosteroids (betamethasone) play an important role for prevention of respiratory distress syndrome and reducing NICU admission rate of new borns and also reduce neonatal mortality and morbidity but benefits related to the time between administration of corticosteroid and delivery needed to be explored. Benefits of the injection betamethasone administration IM 12 mg between 24 hours and seven days on pre-term delivery has been established.,

This was prospective study conducted in private setup from November 2020 to March 2021 in Scientific Research Institute, Surendranagar, Gujarat, India. Study comprised of 100 women with single tone pregnancies (28 – 36 weeks gestational age) in age group of 19 – 33 years not in labour, but at risk for pre-term delivery based on fetal or maternal indications. These pregnant women were treated with two doses of 12 mg Betamethasone Intramuscularly apart of 24 hourly for maturation of fetal lungs.

Antenatal corticosteroids like betamethasone have a significant benefit on neonatal outcome even if used after 34 weeks of pregnancy. This was given prophylactically to those who are known to have increased risk of pre-term labour. Antenatal steroid like betamethasone 12 mg IM is also of benefit to reduce neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) and NICU admission rates by giving it at 28-34 weeks of gestational age.
The right timing for surgical exploration is the key to saving lives: An analysis of near- miss mortality cases in a tertiary care hospital in North East India
Authors: Agarwal Manika , Rongmei Lungan , Jante Vinayak
Published: October 2021

Those pregnant women who suffer severe complications and come close to maternal death but do not die are the “near misses”. As India being a country with higher maternal mortality, maternal death review system has been institutionalised in India, however much more needs to be known. Near miss cases often precede the loss but are largely ignored because nothing (death) happened. Sometimes we may face difficulty in diagnosing of these near miss cases due to presence of complex presentation.

These cases were documented to highlight the importance of appropriate management at the appropriate time to save the patient’s life, which were diagnostic challenge and near miss cases.
Symptomatic fibroids in a perimenopausal woman with previous two caesarean sections and incisional hernia repair. Can surgery be avoided?
Authors: Annal Anjana , Sagili Haritha
Published: October 2021

Leiomyomas are the most common benign gynaecological tumour and contribute to 40-60% of hysterectomies performed all over the world. Despite proven benefits of GnRH analogues in reducing the size of myoma, it is used mostly as a temporary preoperative drug, as it has not shown to be associated with complete mass regression. We present a case of an abnormal uterine bleeding in a perimenopausal woman with history of multiple caesarean sections and incisional hernia repair. The patient was diagnosed with leiomyoma and was severely symptomatic due to anaemia. She responded to GnRH analogues and the mass regressed completely after 6 months. A favourable outcome in this patient establishes the role of medical treatment in symptomatic uterine fibroids in perimenopausal woman with previous abdominal surgeries where the risks of surgical intervention may be higher.
Uterine torsion of term pregnant uterus due to anterior fibroid
Authors: Shukla Anju , Somani Anjali , Kumari Alisha
Published: October 2021

We present a case of uterine torsion caused by a large 7.0x8.0 cm subserosal myoma in a gravid uterus. This is an uncommon disorder where the prospective diagnosis is difficult thus raises challenges in management.

Uterine torsion in gravid uterus is found to carry a substantial degree of risk of perinatal mortality. Leiomyoma is found to be a potential risk factor in these cases. Therefore the diagnosis must not be delayed to prevent complications. Though there are no imaging criteria, CT or MRI can produce a preoperative diagnosis. Uterine torsion can be asymptomatic and in most cases is an accidental finding during cesarian section. Thereby many times cesarian section yields the most certain diagnosis. Posterior low transverse incision is an accessible and effective approach in uterine torsion cases. High degree of suspicion along with swift management is essential factors contributing to favorable outcome.

revolución verde como revolución tecnocientífica
Authors: Molina-Zapata Jorge Eliécer
Published: October 2021

La revolución verde se implanta en los cuatro rincones del planeta transformando los agroecosistemas biodiversos en monocultivos dependientes de agroquímicos de síntesis. En este artículo se defiende la tesis según la cual con esta revolución agrícola estamos ante una revolución tecnocientífica que, al transformar en profundidad las prácticas agrícolas genera relaciones inéditas con la naturaleza y entre humanos, poniendo en juego diferentes tipos de valores que entran en conflicto. Pesticidas y fertilizantes de síntesis química, variedades híbridas de alto rendimiento y resistentes a fitopatologías constituyen dispositivos tecnocientíficos al servicio del forzamiento de los agroecosistemas con cuyo uso se genera una espiral creciente de degradación ecológica y social traducida en riesgos y amenazas.

Published: October 2021

La filosofía de las ciencias sociales tradicionalmente ha ocupado un rol secundario dentro de la filosofía de las ciencias. Sin embargo, esta situación ha cambiado en las últimas décadas. Dado lo anterior, en este artículo muestro el desarrollo de una filosofía de las ciencias sociales motivada tanto por la filosofía de las ciencias como por las ciencias sociales. En lo práctico, tres son las ideas desarrolladas: 1) existe una conexión entre filosofía de las ciencias sociales y filosofía de las ciencias; 2) dicha conexión se explica a partir de las transformaciones recientes en filosofía de las ciencias, y 3) esta conexión ofrece nuevos enfoques para comprender la realidad social y la práctica de las ciencias sociales.
Relación del volumen de agua corporal total, el extracelular, y preeclampsia. Revisión narrativa de la literatura
Authors: Calvo Herrera Daniel Eduardo , Benjumea Bedoya Dione
Published: October 2021

La preeclampsia es una importante causa de mortalidad materna mundial, identificar de manera temprana las gestantes con riesgo de desarrollarla, es una medida preventiva de gran impacto. La medición del agua corporal se ha documentado desde 1994, y desde 2015 se demostró su relación con el riesgo de desarrollar preeclampsia. Por lo anterior se realizó una revisión de la relación del agua corporal y la preeclampsia hasta junio de 2019, con 17 artículos seleccionados. Producto de la revisión se concluyó que la medición del agua corporal en gestantes podría detectar la aparición de preeclampsia para establecer un seguimiento estricto temprano a las mujeres con mayor riesgo de presentarla. Estas mediciones se realizan con métodos sencillos, no invasivos y de bajo costo, como la impedancia eléctrica por análisis espectral. Sin embargo, se requieren estudios con mayor rigor metodológico para el estudio de una prueba diagnóstica como la que se propone.

Published: October 2021

El síndrome de la bolsa de orina púrpura es una entidad poco frecuente, con una prevalencia hasta de un 8% en pacientes con catéteres permanentes crónicos por más de 2 años. Esta condición se presenta en portadores de sonda vesical, siendo su principal signo clínico la aparición de orina de color púrpura, debida a la producción de sulfatasas y fosfatasas por enterobacterias. Se presenta un caso de una mujer de 63 años con diagnóstico de vejiga neurogénica, antecedente de enfermedad cerebrovascular y secuelas motoras debidas a neoplasia cerebral, quien consultó por presentar el color característico, con síntomas de infección del tracto urinario inferior. Se trató con nitrofurantoína y tuvo normalización del color urinario al quinto día de tratamiento. El diagnóstico de este síndrome implica un reto para el médico, y deben detectarse los factores de riesgo para proveer un adecuado manejo antimicrobiano y evitar el uso de recursos diagnósticos innecesarios.

Authors: Тимонин А.Н. , Раджабкадиев Р.М. , Выборная К.В.
Published: October 2021

В работе представлены метаналитические аспекты активности КФК спортсменов различных видов спорта, проведенные в рамках модели «серого ящика» при планировании многофакторного пассивного эксперимента. Конечная модель плана пассивного эксперимента была представлена как 2х4х5х6, а ведущим методом анализа являлся - двухфакторный дисперсионный анализ. В качестве фиксируемых факторов были использованы: пол (фактор А, два уровня), тип тренировки (фактор В, четыре уровня), вид спорта (фактор С, шесть уровней), стресс нагрузка (факто D, пять уровней, а в качестве зависимой переменной рассматривается активность КФК-ММ (Ед/л). Установлено, что пол имеет значимую статистическую ассоциацию с видами спорта, а активность КФК-ММ мужчин соответствующих видов спорта всегда достоверно выше, чем у женщин. Также установлено, что тип тренинга недостоверно влияет на активность КФК-ММ, а стресс- фактор достоверно влияет на активность КФК-ММ.

Authors: Thakur Dr. Digbijay Kumar , Mahaseth Dr. Rameshwar , Sah Dr. Shambhu Kumar
Published: October 2021

Background: Urinary tract infections are most common bacterial infection in routine clinical practice. It is also most common nosocomial infection in many hospitals. Antibiotics are usually given empirically before urine culture reports available and treatment failure rate used to be significantly high. Study of causative agents and their antimicrobial sensitivity pattern are important factors helping formulating antibiotic policy. Generally, most common uropathogene is Escherichia Coli. Tertiary care hospitals, catering of already partially treated or mal treated patients as major chunk, may have varying etiologies and different sensitivity patterns.
Objective: To study the culture and sensitivity patterns of urinary tract infections in patients presenting with urinary symptoms in local hospitals.
Study design: A cross sectional study
Materials and methods:
Study was conducted at Madanta Research Clinic Private Limited from 12th march 021 to 12th September 021. Urine from cases suspected to have symptoms suggestive of UTI were send for bacteriological culture and sensitivity. Demographic profiles of each participant along with pathogen isolated, culture sensitivity pattern was documented. Data analysis was done in IBM spss 25.
Results:
A total 200 samples were selected for bacteriological culture and sensitivity out of which 32% were male and 68% were female. Around 50% of participants were in age group 20-40. There was no growth in 64% sample. Among positive samples (36%), E. coli (most common) was detected in 91.66%, Klebsiella was detected in 6.94%. Gentamicin, Amikacin and Nitrofurantoin were most common antibiotics sensitive to organisms in culture and Cephalosporins group of antibiotics are commonly resistant.
Conclusions:
coli is the most common organism isolated in urine culture in our region Janakpur. Cephalosporins are resistant in majority of cases where as Aminoglycosides like Amikacin, Gentamicin and Nitrofurantoin are found to be highly sensitive in most of positive cases.

​Challenges of Herbicide Resistant Weeds in Wheat in India and its Management: A Review
Authors: Sharma Kartik , Dhanda Sachin , Leharwan Munish , Singh Kuldeep
Published: October 2021

Agriculture is an important part of the India’s economy. India ranks first in net cropland area in the world with 179.8 mha which is 9.6% of global net cropland area and India’s agriculture sector makes up 16% of the country’s economy, while accounting for 49% of employment (FAOSTAT, 2020). The rice-wheat cropping system (RWCS) is extensive in the subtropical areas of the Indo-Gangetic Plains of India while maize-wheat is widespread in tropical, sub-tropical and warm temperate regions. In north India, rice is grown in the summer season (June/July to September/October) whereas wheat is grown in the winter season (October/November to February/March). The area under wheat in India was 30.59 mha with an annual production of 99.78 mt and average productivity of 3.22 t ha-1 (Anonymous, 2019). The weeds are accounting as a major factor in yield reduction of wheat. The mechanical weed control is not so much effective in controlling weeds in wheat because of narrow inter row spacing. Further, the manual weeding is not much feasible because of mimicry weeds like Phalaris minor which are very much similar to wheat during initial stages. Therefore, the role of herbicides cannot be neglected. But the continuous application of herbicides with same mode of action year by year has resulted in evolution of herbicide resistance in weed species. The management of herbicide resistant weeds in crop production is a major challenge. This review mainly focuses on the current status of herbicide resistant weeds in India associated with wheat along with their management strategies.

Supporting the Surviving Parent to Support their Bereaved Children: a psycho-educational group for parents
Authors: Finucane Niamh , Concannon Noirin
Published: October 2021

This paper describes the rationale for developing a psycho-educational group about supporting bereaved children. The group is for surviving parents following the death of their partner. As social workers in a specialist palliative care setting, we noticed a similarity in the concerns and questions raised by the surviving parents the social work team met with. It is broadly recognised that there are distinct difficulties for children losing a parent and caregiver, as this is often the person that previously was central in the provision of love, security and daily care. It is well documented that the adjustment of the surviving caregiver and the quality of care received by the child after the loss, are substantially related to how children cope (The Harvard Child Bereavement Study, 1996). Studies revealed that when parents are supported, they can demonstrate an enhanced capacity to support their children. The group provided guidance on how to support their bereaved children. The importance of creating a support network for families by connecting them with others who have experienced similar events is well documented in the literature and was also a significant rationale for developing the programme. Keywords: parental death; childhood bereavement; surviving parent; psycho-educational group

The purpose of the study is to identify ways of inversion of professional knowledge and competencies of an architect on the example of managerial ones. The research problem is caused by the need to include professional education in the implementation of programs for the socio-economic development of the country and regions, to increase the competitiveness of graduates and to develop technologies for introducing innovations in education. The research hypothesizes that it is necessary to provide conditions for communication of the academic society of higher architectural schools with representatives of the external environment – administrative structures, industrial, design and other organizations, as well as representatives of civil society. A comparative analysis of the organizational and administrative components of the process of professional architectural education revealed four types of strategies for its development and four different approaches to the management of architectural schools: achieving leadership in all areas, promoting the dissemination of knowledge in society, raising the level of culture in society, pragmatic idea of providing access to the market of design services by obtaining a professional license. The comparison criteria were the goals, motivation, methods, principles, content, evaluation and learning outcomes laid down in the development strategies. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the approach to the study of the processes of inversion of professional knowledge and competencies acquired during architectural education, a look at the organizations of architectural education that are in demand by modern practice, the use of intra-professional, interdisciplinary and public communications for this purpose. As a result of the study, four approaches to the inversion of professional knowledge and competencies in architecture were identified, differing in administrative and managerial components of the educational process. Common to all approaches is the involvement of representatives of the external society, who are carriers of new knowledge and experience for expert evaluation of the components of professional education, selection of research directions, evaluation of the results of scientific and educational activities of students, development and implementation of strategies for the development of the university and architectural faculties.

We consider the issue of using documentaries in teaching speaking in a foreign language to high school students. Documentaries in the system of teaching high school students to speak a foreign language can be used as an audiovisual support for organizing role-playing games, discussions, debates on the documentary topics, brainstorming in the process of solving the problem stated in the documentary. Videos containing socio-cultural and linguistic information help to reveal the peculiarities of culture, history, customs and traditions of the target-language country. Also, the use of authentic video materials creates conditions for the development of a high level of motivation to learn a foreign language, independent work of students. In order to activate the oral speech activity of high school students, we have developed the stages of teaching speaking in a foreign language: preparatory (working with supports, the lexical and grammatical side of the utterance), implementation (making a dialogical or monological utterance) and control (presentation of the utterance).
