Authors: Das Tuhina , Raghuveer CV  , Nayak Anwesha , Sinha Ruchi , Ghosh Anirban
Published: August 2024

Background: Osteosarcoma (Os) is the greatest histologic mimicker of all bone tumors. We conducted a retrospective study on its various histopathological patterns, vis-à-vis, clinical and diagnostic features, highlighting its variations.
Aims and Objectives: The objective of this study was to study the demographic distribution of Os presenting to our centers and appreciate the histological variations of the disease prevalent in this part of the world as such a study had not been done before.
Materials and Methods: Over a period of 25 years, we encountered 100 cases of Os at our institution. The clinical details, investigative findings, gross appearance of tumor tissue obtained, and their hematoxylin and eosin-stained microscopic appearance were studied.
Results: The majority were in the 2nd and 3rd decades with a male-to-female ratio of 1.8:1. Long bones were most commonly involved. Microscopically, apart from the conventional type, the histological variants encountered were small cell, soft tissue, malignant fibrous histiocytoma-like, telangiectatic, and juxtacortical including parosteal, periosteal, and dedifferentiated parosteal. Patients were treated with radical amputations, chemo-radiotherapy, and limb salvage surgeries.
Conclusion: Being obvious that Os presents with a variety of presentations eluding any prediction regards its biologic behavior, the pathologist should be keen on thorough sampling of tumor tissue and correlate the histologic type with the radiological appearance and clinical presentation.

Authors: Yesh Veer Singh  , Anirudh Chirania  , Vipin Kumar  , Afroz Ahmed Khan  , Abhishek Pandey  , Abhinav Kumar Srivastava
Published: August 2024

Background: About 1.5 million individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) reside in India. Sixty to seventy percent of the 20,000 new cases of SCI that is added each year are from impoverished, illiterate people. SCI leads to life-altering experiences, encompassing physical, physiological, psychological, and social changes. The sexual orientation of an individual with SCI may directly impact their self-assurance and vice versa.
Aims and Objectives: Patients with SCI may have physical, physiological, psychological, and social changes, including changes in their sexuality. After a SCI, individuals’ sexual health is a crucial topic that is rarely addressed. The purpose of this study was to learn about the patients’ experiences and feelings regarding sexual activity after a SCI.
Materials and Methods: Patients with SCI were given a questionnaire. This study covered all male SCI patients between the ages of 18 and 50 who were married at the time of the injury and were followed up until December 2023. The purpose of this study was to talk about different facets of sexual activity and the issues that came with it. Second, these data will support SCI sufferer’s sexual rehabilitation.
Results: Of the 231 patients, 72.3% had erections but only 32% had ejaculations. 55.8% of patients experienced difficulties with sexual function as a result of other SCI sequelae, such as flexor spasm, bladder, and bowel dysfunction, among others. In response, almost 90% of patients said that they had never received sexual rehabilitation or advice on their sexuality.
Conclusion: Health-care providers and clinicians do not frequently bring up sexuality with patients who have SCI. Patients who frequently inquire about sexual activity following SCI yet are seldom helped. Since there is stigma associated with the topic, every SCI clinic needs to have a specialized sexual rehabilitation staff.

Authors: Shankarappa RV  , Bharat Kiran  , Padmanabha BV  , Sai Sailesh Kumar Goothy  , Mukkadan JK
Published: August 2024

Background: As it was mentioned, the risk of adverse effects and complications is more than what is expected. Hence, the use of epidural analgesia (EA) was decreased in the management of post-operative pain. Hence, there is a need for another pharmacological agent that is more effective. Manly studies reported that buprenorphine transdermal and sublingual both have significant pain relief scores.
Aims and Objectives: The present study was undertaken to compare the pain relief scores of epidural midazolam and buprenorphine for post-operative patients.
Materials and Methods: A total of 60 male and female participants, within the age group with the American Society of Anesthesiologists grades I and II were recruited. After recruiting, they were randomly divided into two groups. Soon after the surgery, the pain scores were recorded using the Visual Analog Scale. Soon after recording the pain scores, the corresponding drugs were administered to the participants. Epidural midazolam 30 g/kg and buprenorphine 0.15 mg diluted in normal saline were administered to the corresponding groups for 24 h.
Results: There is no significant difference in the demographic data of the participants in both groups. There was no significant difference observed between the two groups. Both are equally effective. Nausea and vomiting are the mild side effects observed in the majority of the patients in both groups.
Conclusion: In the present study, we have observed similar actions by both drugs in the management of post-operative pain. The study not only adds to the literature about the effectiveness of these drugs but also explains the mild side effects. Hence, the study recommends the use of both these drugs in the management of post-operative pain so that patient satisfaction can be improved and the patient stay at the hospital can be minimized. Further, detailed and multi-center studies are recommended to generalize the results.

Authors: Tiwari Indra P , Thapa Ajay , Tiwari Surendra , Sirjana Sharma
Published: August 2024

Microenterprises are very small formal and informal non-agricultural activities operated by individuals or micro-organizations encounter different challenges due to changes in resources, market, technologies, know-how, and so on. To survive in such complex and changing entrepreneurial environment, microenterprises need be capable of coping with dynamics of resources, market, technologies, and know-how meanwhile fighting against the poverty they are muddling through. In this context, using primary data enumerated from 160 microentrepreneurs from control and experimental local environments from Parbat and Kaski districts in the Gandaki province of Nepal, this study has analyzed the microenterprises taking dynamics of technologies, resources, market and know-how for their implication to poverty alleviation. On average, there is an increase environment conducive to microenterprise operation. Despite the products, technologies, and know-how being basically outdated, the dynamics of resources, market, and know-how appear having significant positive effects on microenterprises. There is an improvement in employment status, economic status, access to education, access to health services, access in communication, household assets, the capacity to spend more on celebrating socio-cultural festivals and livelihood of the family members over the period after being involved in microenterprises, hence, microenterprise dynamics have confirmed significant positive implications in poverty reduction in Nepal.

Supply Chain Analysis of Municipal Solid Waste Released in Hetauda Sub-Metropolitan City of Nepal
Authors: Kattel Rishi Ram
Published: August 2024

In Nepal, solid waste management is one of the major environmental issues, especially in the urban areas. While solid waste management (SWM) has become a major concern for municipalities and the country as a whole, the status of SWM is not fully understood due to the lack of SWM baseline data, which are also essential for effective planning. Such a back drop, this research attempts to assess the plastic waste released, management and recycling in supply chain in Hetauda Sub-Metropolitan City. This study revealed that about 83.8% households segregate their waste. None of the surveyed households have had public waste collection bin nearby their home whereas all households have had knowledge on solid waste management. About 63% HHs heard of importance of plastic waste recycling and all express their readiness to segregate the plastic solid waste if recycling program is set up in municipal area. Per capita waste generation per day is 141 gm out of which about 15% is plastic waste. On an average daily waste released at household level are 0.8 kg/HH which is 28.1 kg per institution.  Total wastes release per day from Hetauda city is 27.4 MT and 10006.8 MT per year.  About 931 MT plastic per year are gone in dumping sites in the Hetauda Sub-Metropolitan City. This study suggests that municipal office needs to develop an appropriate policy and strategy framework together with technical guidelines on key issues such as organic composting, recycling and landfill operation from dumping sites.

Authors: Ayinla Kuranga. I. , Baba Alafara A. , Tripathy Bankim C. , Dwari Ranjan K.
Published: August 2024

Decades of use have proven that lead chromate (PbCrO4) powder is an excellent paint pigment material. Unfortunately, practically this entire superb chromate compound used for decorative systems, protective systems, and mass dyeing of paper and polymer materials is conventionally made using inorganic synthetic chromium salts. In this study, we reported a promising simple, low-cost lead chromate production route derived from chromite ore from Nigeria. The Nigerian chromite ore was roasted in a 1:1 NaOH salt and then leached with water at 60°C. Lead nitrate was added to the leached liquor to further co-precipitate it. The resulting precipitate was then cleaned in ethanol and oven dried for ten hours at 80°C. The experimental results showed that lead ion concentration, temperature and flow rate have large influence on lead chromate precipitation, and the precipitation data fit a diffusion model. The activation energy of lead precipitation obtained was 4.76 kJ/mol, and the reaction order was 0.873 nearly one in relation to the concentration of lead ion. Additionally, XRD, FT-IR, and SEM/EDS comparative investigation of the properties established which favourable paint pigment performance similar to that of commercial industrial lead chromate powder in a range of all established physicochemical properties clarified the developing direction of research on lead chromate synthesis from Chromite leached liquor.

Published: August 2024

Background: Stroke is the second leading cause of death and disability globally. Intracerebral hemorrhage represents a prominent subtype comprising 10-20% of all strokes and posing substantial challenges, particularly in low-income countries. This study aims to unravel the clinical profile and outcomes of spontaneous ICH patients at our institute.
Materials and Methods: This is a prospective observational study conducted at the department of Neurosurgery Nobel Medical College Teaching Hospital, Biratnagar, Nepal over a period of one and half years.
Results: In the Present study, a total of 285 populations were studied, where there was male preponderance with the mean age of 57.9 years. Commonest clinical manifestation was sudden onset headache (75.1%) followed by decreased level of consciousness.  Hypertension was the commonest cause of ICH. Basal ganglia were the primary location of bleed. The statistical analysis revealed a significant difference in the mean clot volume between survivors and non-survivors. There was a strong association between ventricular extension of hematoma and outcome. Surgical hematoma evacuation was performed in 30.9% of cases. Favorable outcomes, defined by a modified Rankin Scale score of 0-3, were achieved in 58.9% of participants.
Conclusion: Age, sudden onset headache, and hypertension predict mortality in primary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), particularly with advanced age linked to poorer outcomes. A Glasgow Coma Score less than eight increases mortality risk, while clot volume and intraventricular extension play crucial roles in ICH outcome.

Authors: Khanal Mukti Nath , KC Vikash Kumar
Published: August 2024

Background: The importance of providing care to mothers after childbirth is critical for lowering maternal illness and death rates. This research aimed to analyze the factors influencing the use of postnatal services among mothers with having at least one living child three years preceding the survey in the Sunsari district of Eastern Nepal.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted within a community setting, involving 401 ever-married women of reproductive age group. The studyperformed bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses to identify factors associated with the utilization of postnatal care services.
Results: Among 401 women studied, 52% had Postnatal Care (PNC) visits. Among those who utilized PNC services, the majority (96%) had partial utilization, while only 4.3% had complete PNC.PNC visits are more frequent among the wealthy, migrants, and upper castes, as well as those exposed to media, aware of health services, and perceiving higher service quality and awareness at health facilities.
Conclusion: Both the coverage and complete utilization of PNC attendance were low. Increasing focus on mothers from poorer households, pockets of the native population, individuals needing behavioural modification, and those with poor awareness about available services may enhance the overall usage of complete PNC.

Authors: Shrestha Purna Man , Khadka Kamal Kumar
Published: August 2024

This paper aims to evaluate the impact of non-performing loan on the profitability of Nepalese commercial banks. For this purpose, this study employed the annual balanced panel data of 10 commercial banks during the period of 2016/17 to 2022/23. This paper used NPLs measured by the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans as an explanatory variable and profitability measured by ROA as a dependent variable. A multiple linear regression model was used to examine the effect of NPLs on the profitability of banks. The empirical results indicated that NPLs play a substantial role in determining profitability. Further, this paper revealed that NPLs have a significant negative impact on profitability. The findings of this paper suggests that bank management should maintain the lower level of NPLs as much as possible to achieve a higher level of profitability. Therefore, bank management should give more attention to minimize the NPL.

The Feminist Agenda and the Brazilian Art System between the 1960s and the 1970s
Authors: Trizoli Talita
Published: August 2024

The reception of second-wave feminist guidelines in the Brazilian artistic system has been a recurring theme of inquiry in feminist historiography because of its peculiarity: a country that propagated its international image as a place of delight and sexual experience, but crystallised in conservative and colonial values, in conjunction with a highly experimental artistic scene, but under the yoke of violence from a civil-military dictatorship. To show what kind of relationship was established between some of the cultural agents of the period and the feminist agenda that arrived in the Brazilian scene, this essay takes some case studies that point out the strategies and negotiations regarding feminism, even though those concerned were not militants.
Interactive Voice Response Technology as a Data Collection Tool Compared to a Household Survey: What We Learned
Authors: Rahmanian Jeiran , Basil Luay
Published: August 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly affected all aspects of life, including the Canadian Red Cross’s (CRC) operations. To continue delivering projects and evaluations under restrictions, the CRC adapted its methods. This adaptation is exemplified by the Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights project in Mali, launched during global lockdowns. Typically, such projects use standardized monitoring frameworks with pre–post-intervention measurements and household surveys for data collection. However, the pandemic made household surveys impractical.
