Published: September 2022

Abstract
Background: Migraine is a Primary Headache disorder, the exact aetiology of which till date is not established. Various neuroinflammatory conditions, cytokines, oxidative stress, neuropeptides and vasomotor changes have been hypothesized for the pathogenesis of migraine headache.
Aim and Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate inflammatory and non-inflammatory marker levels in patients with migraine and compare with levels measured in controls.
Materials and Methods: This is a case control study of 45 cases of migraine between age group 15-50 years of either sex attending the outpatient department (OPD) of E.N.T, VIMSAR Burla between July 2019 to December 2019.After proper history and clinical evaluations, we analysed the serum level of inflammatory markers like Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), Malondialdehyde (MDA), C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and anti-inflammatory marker Adiponectin in migraine patients. We compared blood levels of these parameters of migraine patients with 45 controls attending the same OPD for ENT diseases other than migraine during the same period.
Results: The Unpaired t test between case and control groups shows significant increase in serum level of NLR,MDA and CRP in migraine patients compared to controls(P≤0.05).The case and control group did not show a significant difference in the value of adiponectin.
Conclusion: This study indicates that oxidative stress marker(MDA) and inflammatory markers like NLR and CRP may be potential risk factor for migraine. So, early prediction of inflammatory markers might be beneficial in management of migraine patients.

Published: September 2022

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most prevalent (0.2%) heritable, genetic cardiovascular disease. Aortopathies also represent a spectrum of familial inheritance with prevalence of ~4%. Previous research evaluating characteristics of the aorta in HCM patients have demonstrated increased vascular stiffness and differences in aortic elastic properties compared to healthy controls. However, a prevalence of aortopathy in HCM patients has not been previously described and a potential relationship between HCM and aortic dilation has not been established limited by relatively small patient cohorts. We report the case of a 64 years old patient who was admitted to our cardiology department for the treatment of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy associated with anevrysmal dilation of the ascending aorta.

Authors: Pal Harish , Kumar Lalit , Trivedi Sameer , Singh Yashasvi , Kumar Ujwal , Agarwal Sakshi
Published: September 2022

Background: CT thorax has been advocated and widely applied in Covid-19 clinical management.
Aims and objectives: We evaluated the diagnostic value of CT thorax as a screening tool for Covid-19 in asymptomatic patients posted for elective urological surgeries & compared it with RT-PCR findings.
Material & Methods: The present retrospective, observational study was conducted among those who were planned for urological surgeries in the department of Urology from April 2019 to March 2021 in a tertiary care centre institute. For each patient, a nasopharyngeal and/or oropharyngeal swab was taken and tested for the presence of SARS‑CoV‑2. If the first RT-PCR was negative, a second RT-PCR was performed within 48 hours after the first test in patients who were still admitted to the hospital. The detection rate of COVID-19 infection based on initial CT thorax & RT-PCR (as reference standard) was compared.
Results: There were 24 true positive, 243 true negative, 7 false positive and 8 false negative patients. Sensitivity was 75% (95% CI: 56.60% – 88.54%), specificity: 97.20% (95% CI: 94.32 – 98.87%, positive predictive value: 61.65% (95% CI: 61.65 – 87.97%), negative predictive value: 96.81% (95% CI: 94.34 – 98.23%) and accuracy: 94.68% (95% CI: 91.38 – 96.99%).
Conclusions: High diagnostic accuracy of CT with typical & relatively atypical CT findings of COVID‑19 leads to a low rate of missed diagnosis. Normal CT can be found in RT‑PCR +ve COVID‑19 cases & typical CT manifestations can be seen in RT‑PCR -ve cases. Thus, a combination of both CT & RT‑PCR may help in improving the diagnostic accuracy of Covid-19.

Published: September 2022

Aim : India has reported a recent surge in Mucormycosis cases. Prevention of COVID-19 associated Mucormycosis needs to focus on aiming for better glycemic control in COVID-19 patients and monitoring the use of systemic corticosteroids in treating severe cases. This study is an attempt to evaluate various patient characteristics that could contribute to Mucormycosis among COVID and post COVID patients.

Materials and Methods : A retrospective observational study was carried out at a tertiary Care Hospital during April 2021–June 2021. After obtaining approval from Institutional Ethics committee, various demographic and clinical details of all patients, such as diabetes mellitus, use of steroids in COVID-19 treatment, use of immunosuppressant drugs, oxygen therapy etc., were noted. All Mucormycosis patients were treated with Amphotericin B and aggressive surgical treatment.

Results : In the present study, majority of the patients who developed COVID associated Mucormycosis were treated in Private Hospitals (65, 62.5 %) for COVID -19 disease . About 78.89 % of Mucormycosis patients were males. In majority of the patient’s onset of symptoms of Mucormycosis was seen during the first week (56 %).Most patients were between 51-60 years (32.1 %). Among risk factors, 91.7 % had COVID-19 infection, 90.47% had received steroids, 80 % had diabetes mellitus and 47.11 % had received oxygen. About 37 % of patients presented in stage III and 35 % presented in stage I and II. In our study mortality was very less compared to other studies ( 12.35 %.).

Conclusion: There is a complex association between COVID -19 and Mucormycosis.The main predisposing factor was use of steroids during the treatment of COVID-19 which led to uncontrolled diabetes mellitus predisposing to Mucormycosis.

Authors: Ghalaut Ragini , Dalal Deepika , Kumar Hemang , K Aggarwal , Ghalaut Veena
Published: September 2022

Background: Diabetes is highly prevalent and it is responsible for the increased financial burden on healthcare. Type II diabetes is a more prevalent form of diabetes. Uncontrolled and unsupervised type II diabetes may lead to various microvascular and macrovascular complications which are responsible for high morbidity and mortality. Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common complication characterized by the expansion of mesangial cells with thickening of the basement and nodular glomerulosis. TNF-alpha and IL-6 play an important role in causing detrimental changes leading to nephropathy. The study of the role of these inflammatory cytokines in patients with DN may help in the early diagnosis and management.

Aims and Objectives: The objectives of this study were to compare the levels of proinflammatory cytokines, TNF-α, and IL-6 in the evolution of DN patients.

Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted in the Department of Biochemistry, in collaboration with the Department of Medicine (Nephrology unit); Pt. B.D. Sharma, Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Rohtak after ethical clearance. Forty patients with DN (Stages 3, 4, and 5) and forty patients with diabetes mellitus without nephropathy were taken up for study after taking informed consent.

Results: The mean serum TNF-α levels in cases was 33.05 ± 29.22 pg/mL and in controls was 17.67 ± 12.33 pg/mL. On the basis of unpaired t-test, the difference between the groups was statistically highly significant (P < 0.05). The mean serum interleukin-6 levels in cases was 24.92 ± 30.16 pg/mL (2.95–155.55 pg/mL) and in controls was 6.76 ± 5.82 pg/mL (2.22–35.42 pg/mL). On the basis of the t-test, the difference between the groups was statistically highly significant (P < 0.05).

Conclusion: TNF-α and IL-6 may serve as potential biomarkers for patients with DN and also in the development of newer therapeutic modalities for the prevention and treatment of DN.

Published: September 2022

Sự thay thế bề mặt phủ tự nhiên thành bề mặt phủ nhân tạo ở các đô thị đã làm mất đi khả năng thấm và lưu giữ nước của các khu vực. Đây là nguyên nhân chính gây ra ngập lụt và ô nhiễm môi trường, suy giảm mực nước ngầm, tăng hiệu ứng đảo nhiệt v,v… cho các đô thị. Để khắc phục tình trạng đó, việc nghiên cứu các giải pháp kỹ thuật thoát nước mặt bền vững trong đó có kết cấu mặt đường bê tông xi măng rỗng có khả năng tăng cường thấm và lưu giữ nước mặt là điều rất cần thiết. Tuy nhiên, hiện nay ở Việt Nam, các đề tài nghiên cứu về vấn đề này chỉ chủ yếu tập trung nghiên cứu lớp bề mặt bê tông xi măng có độ rỗng cao. Trong khi, khả năng thấm và lưu giữ nước mặt của kết cấu mặt đường bê tông xi măng rỗng còn phụ thuộc nhiều vào lớp móng và lớp nền nằm liền kề dưới lớp bề mặt bê tông đó. Vì vậy, nghiên cứu này trình bày mô hình thiết kế toàn bộ kết cấu mặt đường bê tông xi măng rỗng không những đảm bảo về cường độ chịu lực mà còn đảm bảo khả năng thấm và lưu giữ nước tốt. Hơn thế nữa, nghiên cứu cũng trình bày công tác thử nghiệm ở ngoài hiện trường đối với loại kết cấu mặt đường bê tông xi măng rỗng chịu tải trọng nhẹ (phương tiện lưu thông ≤ 2,5 tấn) để đánh giá mô hình thiết kế và đánh giá hiệu quả thoát nước của kết cấu mặt đường bê tông xi măng rỗng.

Students are provided with education, including environmental health education that they develop throughout their lives and the education empowers them to become active participants in the transformation of their communities. Therefore, this study aimed to examine awareness and knowledge about environmental health issues among secondary school students from Mtwara town in Tanzania. A questionnaire survey was used to collect data. Pearson's chi-square and Pearson correlation (R) tests were used to determine whether there was a statistically significant difference between the gender and study variables. A greater proportion of students had awareness and knowledge of infectious diseases (99.8% vs. 97.1%, p=0.004, X2=9.529, OR 1.028, 95% CI 1.005 – 1.051) and non-communicable diseases (98.1% vs. 95%, p=0.031, X2 = 5.370, OR 1.033, 95% CI 1.001 – 1.067). However, awareness of the term school water, sanitation and hygiene (SWASH) was very low among all students, with no statistically significant difference (26.1% vs. 25.5%, p = 0.927). Girls had more understanding of global warming (91.7% vs. 86.2%, p=0.033) and good ventilation prevented the spread of cough and mucus (62.1% vs. 54%, p=0.041) than male students. While no statistically significant difference between students' awareness and knowledge of pollution was observed (99.5% vs. 97.9%, p=0.104), there was a higher proportion of noise and land pollution awareness among students. Female students had higher awareness of noise pollution (70.2% vs. 56.9%, p=0.001) and land pollution (86.1% vs. 78.2%, p=0.010) than their peers. The results of this study add more knowledge to the existing information on students' awareness and knowledge of environmental health problems. The study recommends that programs to disseminate information related to environmental health should be maintained to sustain high student awareness and knowledge of environmental health.

Effective planning and sustainable implementation of vaccination activities require a good understanding of how much a population is aware, perceives and willing to accept the vaccines. A cross-sectional study was carried out between February 22 to April 14, 2021, which assessed 400 participants to ascertain their level of awareness, perception and acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine in south-eastern Nigeria. Data was collected using a structured pre-tested questionnaire and analysed using IBM-SPSS statistics version 21. The mean age of the participants was 36.15 years. About 4% of the participants had tested positive for COVID-19 and 12.5% had a perceived experience of COVID-19 without a test. Overall, 53.5% of the participants had a positive perception of the COVID-19 vaccine, while 55.5% accepted the COVID-19 vaccine. A significant association was not found between awareness and the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine (X 2 = 1.071, p =0.475). No statistical relationship was established between perception of the COVID-19 vaccine and the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine (X 2 =0.024, p = 0.877). Factors including awareness about the vaccine, economic and social status as well as high literacy level may have contributed to the acceptance of the vaccine among study participants. Major concerns relating to vaccine hesitancy were related to the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine. There is a need for continuous public health enlightenment and sensitization on vaccine safety, effectiveness, availability and accessibility by involving all stakeholders in the communities in order to achieve a safe population.

Due to the novelty of COVID-19 disease and the importance of determining the most important factors related to the health behaviors of people, this study was done to determine the structures of Health Belief Model (HBM) following the COVID-19 outbreak. This was an analytical-cross sectional study conducted in 2020. The statistical population included all users of Iranian social networks, of which 385 people participated in this study. Participants were selected using convenience sampling. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire. In this study, demographic variables (being a student, age, reporting violations in health protocols (RVHP), marital status, level of education, gender, and the number of children) were independent variables and constructs of the HBM were dependent variables. Data analysis software was SPSS 16. Data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests. The mean age of participants was 30.11 years. There was a significant difference between the perceived susceptibility of being a student (p=0.02), age (p=0.01), and RVHP (p=0.005). There was also a significant difference between the perceived severity with marital status, being a student, age (P<0.001), RVHP (p=0.04), and level of education (p=0.01). There was also a significant difference between perceived benefits with marital status (p=0.04), RVHP (p=0.01), and being a student (P<0.001) and perceived barriers with gender and number of children (p=0.03). There was also self-efficacy with RVHP (p=0.005). This study demonstrated the effectiveness of HBM constructs in determining the structures of HBM following the COVID-19 outbreak. Therefore, the HBM seems helpful as a framework for designing interventional programs for improving health behaviors among people during the COVID-19 pandemic.
CIVILITY IN ISLAMIC ACTIVISM: TOWARDS A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF SHARED VALUES FOR CIVIL SOCIETY DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Krause Wanda
Published: September 2022

Fethullah Gülen’s works and movement have aimed to mend the tensions and fissures, spe- cifically along racial and ideological lines on both practical and theoretical levels that are emerging in this rapidly globalising world. Within a civil society theoretical framework, this paper addresses the knowledge developed on Islamically inspired forms of activism, before proceeding to an examination of key civil society actors with focus on the Gülen movement. Islam-based forms of organisation are conventionally presented as deficient in ‘civility’ or even antithetical to civil principles. The danger is that they are then simply excluded from normative definitions of civil society and their positive role in it diminished. In this respect, this paper argues for expanding the concepts through which we view and come to judge civil- ity and citizenship. The role of shared values in building civil society is facilitated by expand- ing the concepts through which we measure and exclude crucial components. Recognising the value systems behind Islamic forms of organisation helps develop better tools for deci- phering the shared values among various parts of civil society. Focusing on the Gülen movement, through an investigation of its beliefs, values and prac- tices, the paper illustrates not only its contribution in terms of expanding civil societies in- ternationally, but also how – according to the criteria used for measuring its effect – it is positioned as a leading example of dealing with contemporary challenges. It is hoped that this work will contribute to laying the epistemological groundwork for those struggling against Islamophobia and striving to expose the values shared among all actors in a healthy and vibrant civil society.

Fruit juices are one of the favorite drinks for children these days. As a result, its production must be organized in such a way as to ensure quality and guarantee the safety of consumers in general and schoolchildren in particular. The objective of this study is to analyze the health quality of bissap, lemon and pineapple juices sold in some public schools in the district of Agblangandan. For this, we collected from the vendors, 12 pineapple juice, 14 bissap juice and 8 lemon juice during the morning recess. Then, the microbiological and physico-chemical analyzes were carried out on the juices. The microbiological analyzes made it possible to identify the presence of total mesophilic flora (1.09.104 CFU/ml), total Coliforms (2.78.103 CFU/ml), Escherichia coli (4.44.102 CFU/ml), Enterococci (86.1 CFU/ml) and Clostridium (13.2 CFU/ml) in bissap juices. These same germs have been identified in lemon and pineapple juices with varying loads. As for the physico-chemical parameters, the results revealed a high rate of turbidity, conductivity, temperature and pH of the juices. Factors such as failure to master hygiene rules when bagging juices, non-compliance with hygiene rules during handling and storage and then inappropriate hygiene practices are origin of the contamination of these juices. It is therefore urgent to prioritize the hygiene and health of school children through awareness-raising, education and regular and rigorous health control of the juices sold by sworn agents.

Published: September 2022

This article deals with identity-oriented metaphors in the camp novel. It aims to highlight the metaphorical characterisation of the exaggerated ostentation of certain Nazi characters during the Shoah towards the Jews between 1939 and 1945. It will essentially be based on two criteria of reception aesthetics, that of symbolic meaning and that of connotation. On this basis, the results of our study focus on the metaphors inventoried by the antisemitic protagonists during the aforementioned period, namely that they are God, angels, supermen or blockowa. In sum, our conclusion is that orientation metaphors have negative impacts on those who advocate them. Keywords: Metaphors; orientation; Shoah; Nazis; Jews.

Halal Tourism Factors, National Image, and Behavioral Intention: Perceptions of Muslim Community in South Korea
Authors:   Institute for Euro-African Studies, Ullah Aman , Iffat Tahira Iffat
Published: September 2022

This study examines two models of halal tourism which test the influence of halal tourism factors (involving halal attributes and availability of halal services) and national image (involving national characteristics and destination image) on behavioral intention, collecting empirical data from the Muslim community in Korea. Data was collected from (N=230) respondents through face-to-face questionnaire survey. The results showed that halal tourism factors and national image had a positive significant correlation with behavioral intention. Hierarchical Linear Regression analysis indicated that halal tourism factors model had a less significant contributory factor on behavioral intention, and national image model had a major significant contributory factor in the behavioral intention of Muslims. This study contributes that national characteristics and destination image have an influence on the Muslim community’s behavioral intention. This empirical evidence shows that Korea builds a positive image as a tourist destination rather than a Muslim-friendly destination among Muslims. This could be a reference for the government, tourist marketers, and stakeholders in enhancing the adoption of halal attributes and catering halal services to draw Muslim tourists to promote halal-friendly tourism.

The present study was conducted in 12 intact female dogs presented for elective ovariohysterectomy. Animalswere randomly divided into two groups of six each. Group I animals were subjected to conventional ventral midlineovariohysterectomy and in Group II animals, right flank ovariohysterectomy was performed. Clinical efficacyof surgical techniques was evaluated on the basis of clinico-physiological and haemato-biochemical parameters.Surgical duration for performing ovariohysterectomy was comparatively less in right flank approach as comparedto ventral midline. Physiological parameters like rectal temperature showed non-significant variations in all theanimals. Respiratory rate decreased marginally whereas transitory increase in heart rate was observed for short time. Haematological and biochemical observations revealed marginal changes during the period of study in both the groups. The length of surgical incision, duration of procedure and healing were significantly less in Group II as compared to Group I. However, the operative haemorrhage was comparatively more in right flank ovariohysterectomy. The ease of exteriorization and ligation of uterus and ovaries was easy in Group II (right flank approach) as compared to Group I (ventral midline approach). Wound dehiscence was observed in two dogs of Group I whereas Group II animals showed uneventful recovery. Hence, right flank approach is a good alternative over the conventional midventral approach for performing ovariohysterectomy in female dogs

Indigenous cattle not only provide milk, dung and draught power but are also a crucial part of India’s ecologicaland cultural heritage. Despite this, they are facing threat of extinction. Absence of information regarding theirmultiple roles and monetary estimates of the benefits, obstructs the investment for their conservation. Currentstudy attempts to assess the economic value of different benefits of one of the best indigenous cattle breeds ofIndia, Sahiwal. Choice experiment was used for collecting primary data from 168 dairy farmers which was thenanalyzed using random parameter logit model. ʽCultural valueʼ of Sahiwal occupied the major share (29.93%) oftotal economic value followed by ʽindirect use value (21.25%)ʼ and ʽexistence value (18.40%)ʼ. Interestingly, shareof ʽdirect consumptive use valueʼ was comparatively lower. This indicates that any decision on conservation takensolely on the basis of direct consumptive use value is unlikely to maximize the societal welfare. Development ofspecific market for milk and milk products of Sahiwal, promotion of the breed as symbol of peace and unity throughvarious cultural and heritage parks, and revival of organic farming can incentivize the Sahiwal rearing farmers whichcan then supplement the conservation efforts of the government

The present study aimed at evaluating appropriate feeding strategies to obtain maximum fish production from farm ponds at low/minimum investment costs was carried out under the Tamil Nadu-Irrigated Agriculture Modernization Project financed by the World Bank. The study was carried out for 180 days at the Directorate of Sustainable Aquaculture, Thanjavur, in four, equal-sized, farm ponds with two treatments in duplicates by stocking5 species (Catla catla, Labeo rohita, Cirrhinus mrigala, Ctenopharyngodon idella and Cyprinus carpio) in theratio of 1:1:1:1:2. Treatment 1 (T1) involved the feeding strategy of pelleted feed with 20% CP (crude protein)broadcast twice a day whereas in Treatment 2 (T2), the same feed was provided four times a day as feed ballsusing feed trays. Among the five species, C. carpio (779±189.01 g) and C. mrigala (670±121.38 g) stocked inT2 attained the maximum weight. Production parameters such as gross production, net production, average dailygrowth rate were not significant between the treatments, however T2 showed comparatively better results than T1.Survival rate of fishes was recorded significantly higher in T1 (35.54±2.60%) than in T2 (29.6±2.36%). Nutrientssuch as total phosphorus, total nitrogen and total potassium were significant and highly discharged in T1 than inT2. Experiment revealed that feeding fishes in trays helped to monitor the weight gain and feed intake with reducednutrient discharge, thereby proper feed management was obtained in T2 when compared to T1

A methodology to assess the welfare of laying birds maintained in cages was developed using innovative scorecardmethod without compromising the production and economics in Indian scenario. To develop scorecard, specific keyparameters such as production, economics, egg quality, welfare and behaviour were considered. The scores for these key parameters were assigned on the basis of the performance of the commercial laying hens maintained in different stocking densities in cages (387, 484, 548 and 645 cm2/b) for an experimental period of 20 weeks. The range for each parameter was decided and based on it four groups were formed and the treatment with the best performance received the highest weightage, that is how scoring of each treatment was done according to the range they fitted in. The scoring, weightage and guidelines were devised by Delphi technique, by a panel of national experts from the academics and experts working in the poultry industry. At the end of the experimental period, laying birds maintained at stocking density of 548 cm2/b scored the highest weightage with 84 out of total 100; 48 weightage for production and economics, 12 weightage for egg quality and 40 weightage for welfare and behaviour. From all above results, it could be summarized that this innovative scorecard can be used to determine the best performance of laying birds taking welfare into consideration.
