BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

The complexity of pediatric patients’ outpatient medication regimens is increasing, and risk for medication errors is compounded in a busy emergency department (ED). As ED length of stay (LOS) increases, timely and accurate administration of essential outpatient medications has become increasingly challenging. Our objective was to increase the frequency of ordering of essential outpatient medications for patients with ED LOS >4 hours from 56% to 80% by June 2023.

METHODS

We conducted a quality improvement (QI) initiative in a pediatric ED with ∼60 000 annual visits comprising a total of 91 000 annual medication orders. We defined essential outpatient medications as antiepileptic drugs, cardiovascular medications, and immunosuppressants. Our QI interventions included a combination of electronic health record interventions, a triage notification system to identify patients with essential outpatient medications, and widespread educational interventions including trainee orientation and individualized nursing education. The primary outcome measure was percentage of essential outpatient medications ordered among patients with an ED LOS >4 hours, with a secondary measure of outpatient medication safety events.

RESULTS

Baseline monthly ordering rate of selected medications for patients with an ED LOS >4 hours was 54%, with an increase to 66% over the study period. Refining our population yielded a rate of 81%. Outpatient medication safety events remained unchanged, with an average of 952 ED encounters between events.

CONCLUSIONS

A multidisciplinary QI initiative led to increased essential outpatient medication ordering for patients in a pediatric ED with no change in safety events.
Preserving Maccera Tasi of Bugis Migrants in Bandar Lampung: The Transformation of Cultural Identity
Authors: Nururi Imam , Yudianto Asep , Fauzi Ahmad
Published: September 2024

This research is due to transmigration and cultural adaptation, where the movement of the Bugis community to Bandar Lampung required them to adapt their cultural traditions and practices to the new environment. This research is essential for uncovering cultural dynamics and the assimilation process and providing academic contributions and benefits to the Bugis community in Bandar Lampung. This research examines a cultural tradition, Maccera Tasi (sea alms ceremony), performed by the Bugis community in Bandar Lampung. Specifically, this study investigates whether this tradition has undergone a transformation and its role in preserving the Bugis cultural identity in diverse environments. This research employs a qualitative method with field research involving observation and interviews and an anthropological diffusion theory approach. The research results show that Maccera Tasi has experienced changes in the land of Lampung, such as implementation practices, meaning and symbolism, prayers and rituals, and socio-economic changes. Maccera Tasi is also the identity of the Bugis people who live in Bandar Lampung, so as an overseas ethnic minority, they can introduce the culture of sea parties to the broader community. The main findings show that this tradition is experiencing a process of Islamisation, integrating Islamic prayers and symbols with Islamic teachings. This study highlights the importance of understanding local context and external influences in cultural change and using diffusion theory to analyse the spread of cultural elements. This transformation allows overseas Bugis communities to maintain their cultural identity, strengthen communities and preserve cultural heritage.

Published: September 2024

On December 2, 2018, Immanuel Church of GPM Amahusu Klasis in Moluccas, Indonesia, hosted a cross-religious ritual involving the Muslim and Christian communities. The "worship orang basudara" (worship of brothers) ritual took place during the first advent week, with participation from Tial Village and Laha Village (Muslim community) and Amahusu Village and Hatalai Village (Christian community). The ritual incorporated religious symbols such as the call to prayer, recitation of the Rawi Barzani, lighting one of four candles, and singing hymns. This article examines how the social interaction process manages the frontstage and backstage impressions displayed by the Muslim community after participating in the ritual. Data were collected from fifteen individuals through participant observation and interviews, using a qualitative approach based on a subjective interpretive paradigm from a dramaturgical perspective. The findings reveal that the Muslim community involved in the ritual manages impressions through self-repentance, supplication to Allah SWT, and mutual acceptance with the Christian community in social contexts. After the ritual, the Muslim community engages in frontstage social interactions with fellow involved Muslims, non-involved families (negation families), non-involved communities (exclusion communities), religious organisations, and government institutions. Backstage actions include self-introspection (self-evaluation of engagement), repentance (admission of guilt), and prayer (asking for help). This article contributes to understanding the subjective experiences of Muslim communities following ritual involvement, particularly in managing backstage impressions. It suggests that Muslim-Christian communities can overcome disharmony through mutual acceptance of religious differences, promoting peace through contemporary human values.
Ho Chi Minh i wietnamska szkoła dyplomacji. Pragmatyczne podejście do tradycyjnej narracji
Authors:   Uniwersytet Łódzki, Pietrasiak Małgorzata
Published: September 2024

The aim of the article is to define and analyze the specific, traditional features of Vietnamese diplomacy that are associated with the international activities of the first Vietnamese president, Ho Chi Minh (1890–1969). The basis of the Vietnamese leader’s official rhetoric is communist (Marxist-Leninist) ideology, which, adapted to Vietnamese realities, is often referred to as hoshiminism. Alongside communist ideas in Ho’s speeches and activities, patriotism and nationalism or sovereign decision-making should be mentioned. These are reflected in the documents of the recent 13th Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam, a brief analysis of which in the context of contemporary diplomacy is presented in the article. The blending of global and regional trends, the ability to navigate the tangle of interests of the great powers, to extract as much benefit for oneself as possible from the contradictions of their interests, to build an image of a flexible, friendly, pragmatic state have all been adopted from the war period are characteristics reflected in the term used for Vietnam’s diplomacy today – ‘bamboo diplomacy’.

The article concerns candidates for city mayors in the 2002-2018 elections in West Pomerania. It aims to analyse which of the contenders played the role of so-called locomotives in the city council elections and which owed their result to the banner of the committee/party from which they ran. The Civic Platform of the Republic of Poland was examined. It was examined whether the candidate for the president enjoyed greater support among voters, or whether candidates from the committee to the city council received more votes in total. How many won the presidential seat? Did presidential candidates also compete for a mandate on the city council and were they successful? What share did they have in the votes won by a given list? This made it possible to see whether the decisions of the Civic Platform’s leadership, in terms of choosing a presidential candidate, were beneficial to the party.
Советская семейно-демографическая политика в памятниках права периода Великой Отечественной войны
Authors: Болдырев Владимир , Кархалев Денис
Published: September 2024

Обращение к советскому опыту решения демографической проблемы, возникшей в период Великой Отечественной войны, обусловлено новейшими решениями российского государства: принятием Основ государственной политики по сохранению и укреплению традиционных российских духовно-нравственных ценностей, восстановлением в наградной системе звания «Мать-героиня», объявлением года семьи. Цель работы — оценить влияние на социум законотворческих решений, принятых для улучшения демографической ситуации в период Великой Отечественной войны, с позиции современных научных представлений о потребностях человека. Задачи исследования: описание и характеристика новых правовых мер в области демографии, установление влияния законотворческих решений на семейные ценности для определения перспектив их использования на современном этапе. В работе используются историко-правовой, формально-догматический, статистический и сравнительный методы исследования. Анализируются меры, направленные на стимулирование рождаемости: налог на бездетность; материальная поддержка многодетных семей и матерей-одиночек; отмена права на иск об установлении отцовства; усложнение процедуры расторжения брака; моральное поощрение материнства. Делается вывод, что демографическая политика была нацелена на стимулирование репродуктивного поведения за счет игры на витальных и ролевых потребностях человека. Проблема внебрачной беременности и рождения ребенка стала проблемой женщины и общества, но не биологического отца. Выработанная правовая стратегия была альтернативой узаконению многоженства, она стимулировала множественность фактических семейных отношений. Потребность саморазвития, ценность непосредственной передачи отцовского опыта детям в рамках избранной стратегии оказалось практически невозможно предусмотреть. Советскую политику стимулирования деторождения трудно назвать семейной по ее сути: запрет иска об установлении отцовства и другие правовые меры поощряли репродуктивное поведение, приводящее к увеличению количества неполных семей и передаче детей на воспитание детским учреждениям. Изменение общественной морали — проявление терпимости в отношении мужчин, безразличных к судьбе потомства, приведшее к усугублению проблемы безотцовщины, стало побочным результатом радикального пересмотра семейного законодательства.

Describes the two-step approach to interface adaptation. At the first stage, the selection of each component of the prototype is implemented, taking into account the results of assessing the distinctive features of users and the technical characteristics of its mobile device. The second stage involves personalizing the interface taking into account user behavior. As a tool for implementing the developed adaptation algorithm, the use of a deep artificial neural network (INS) presented in the form of a multilayer perceptron is proposed. Input data, when operating INS, are the values of the formation of distinctive features of users (professional, psychophysiological, age, gender, as well as emotional state), output — components of the future interface. A software implementation of a neural network two-stage algorithm was developed when creating an adaptive interface of a mobile application of the training system. As a result of this application, a unique interface is generated for each student, generated taking into account its features. The introduction of the developed mobile application will provide a comfortable interaction between the student and the program, will reduce his emotional load, which will ultimately contribute to improving the efficiency and quality of training of university students.

Authors: Turan Salih Rahmi , Ülkir Osman , Kuncan Melih
Published: September 2024

In this study, a capacitive microelectromechanical system (MEMS) based DC/AC power inverter design for renewable energy applications is proposed, modeled, and analyzed. In the proposed approach, electrostatic actuation is preferred to develop a DC/AC power inverter with varying phase overlap lengths for solar energy systems. The operating voltage required during the analysis is applied to the active part as the tensile stress. Thus, the maximum displacement is achieved with less instability. The developed inverter is based on MEMS to achieve miniaturized performances, producing smooth sine wave output, efficiently obtaining the signal frequency, and low power consumption. The proposed inverter has a thickness of 325 μm, an active settlement area of 45x45x0.585 mm3, and an initial capacitance value of 2.9 pF. In addition, a 50 Hz mechanical resonance frequency was used to be compatible with the frequency of the city network. It can convert voltage values between 0.5V and 24V DC with a MEMS power inverter. Since the inverter is based on a capacitive structure, it provides near-zero power consumption. The frequency and waveform of the converted DC/AC signal match the AC signal of a power grid with an efficiency of 5%.

Background: The combination of nanophotonic devices with Radio Over Fibre (RoF) technology has the potential to enhance telecommunications networks significantly. RoF technology, known for its ability to transport wireless data rapidly across optical fibres, has challenges such as capacity limitations and latency issues. Nanophotonic devices overcome these challenges using their small size and advanced ability to manipulate light. Objective: This study aims to investigate the capability of nanophotonic devices to improve the performance of RoF systems in telecommunications networks. It focuses on evaluating the system's energy efficiency, bandwidth, and latency caused by these devices. Methodology: The effectiveness of RoF systems combining various nanophotonic devices, including modulators, photonic crystals, and nanolasers, was assessed using experimental and computational methods. The research included quantifying and examining pivotal performance metrics, such as the mitigation of delay, the minimization of energy usage, and the augmentation of bandwidth. Results: Integrating nanophotonic devices into RoF systems led to significant improvements, including a substantial increase in bandwidth, a decrease in latency, and an upgrade in energy efficiency. The progress above may be attributed to the nanophotonic devices' enhanced modulation and signal processing capability. Conclusion: Nanophotonic devices offer a practical alternative to the current limitations of RoF technology in telecommunications networks. Integrating these components into RoF systems can significantly enhance network performance, making it a promising path for developing telecommunications infrastructure in the future. Further investigation is recommended to explore the practicality of incorporating these devices into real-world networks and to ascertain their scalability.

In recent years, the number of complications associated with orthopedic dental treatment has increased, which can lead to serious pathologies and conflict situations and negatively affect the quality of life of patients, which entails the professional responsibility of medical workers. A crucial piece of evidence when considering and investigating civil cases to hold medical workers accountable for providing improper medical care (services) in the field of orthopedic dentistry is the conclusion of commission (complex) forensic medical examinations.
During the forensic medical examination of patients’ claims against dental institutions and dentists, issues regarding their organization and production remains to be determined and studied. Scientifically based objective criteria for evaluating professional errors and defects in dental care have not been developed, and effective methods for analyzing therapeutic and diagnostic processes are not used in forensic medical practice, which makes it challenging to comprehensively analyze a specific clinical situation.
This article provides detailed information on the clinical condition of existing teeth and fixed and removable dentures, characteristics of their position in the oral cavity, defects in fixation, and stabilization of dentures. A comprehensive analysis of the possible use of existing removable and nonremovable dental structures for full-fledged chewing function and their aesthetic condition was performed. Significant errors and limitations in the planning, manufacture, and fixation of removable and nonremovable dentures were identified. A comprehensive assessment and recommendations for forensic medical examination in a civil case are provided.
Organizational and legal problems of recognizing an event as an insured event and paying the insured amount to employees of the forensic medical examination bureau as a result of infection with a new coronavirus infection
Authors: Bogovskaya Elizaveta A.
Published: September 2024

The World Health Organization has repeatedly documented the need to protect healthcare workers, and the outbreak of the novel COVID-19 infection has demonstrated the importance of staff in healthcare organizations during emergencies.
Owing to their professional duties, employees of the forensic medical examination bureau conduct autopsies of the dead, collect biological material for research, and examine victims, accused individuals, and other persons in accordance with the directions and decisions of law enforcement agencies. During work, it is not always possible to determine whether the personnel of a medical organization had contact with infected persons or materials. In this regard, many countries, including Russia, have prepared additional measures, such as additional payments, to protect healthcare personnel. Norms have been developed and implemented to ensure payments in case of infection of employees of medical organizations. This issue is critical in the event of the death of an employee, because of the fact that the family of the deceased may not receive payments if the connection between the death of the employee and his professional activity is not established.
To illustrate the point, this article presents a case of a claim for a lump sum from the wife of a forensic medical expert who, shortly before his death, in the course of his official duties, had examined the corpse of a woman who had died of chronic heart failure exacerbated by a severe viral infection in the emergency room of a central district hospital. The regional department of the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation, the Centre for Occupational Pathology, and the forensic medical examination bureau did not consider the outcome of the expert’s illness as occupational. However, the court, having studied the case materials in the context of the current legislative framework, declared the conclusion of the medical commissions invalid and established that the medical worker’s death was caused by infection with a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) in the performance of his labor duties.

Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND: The trophic function is one of the important but insufficiently studied features of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), their microvesicles (MVs), and plasma enriched with soluble platelet factors (PRPs), which ensure the viability of target cells.
AIM: To analyze the capability of MSCs, MVs, and PRP to affect the viability and spontaneous and activation-induced apoptosis of rat spleen lymphocytes during culturing in vitro.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: MSCs were isolated from the mononuclear cell fraction of the femoral bone marrow of Wistar rats using the plastic adhesion method. MVs were obtained from the conditioned medium of MSCs by centrifugation at 14,500 g. PRP was prepared by freezing/thawing rat peripheral blood platelet concentrate. Rat spleen lymphocytes were isolated on a density gradient of 1.077 g/cm3. The viability and degree of lymphocyte apoptosis in vitro were assessed by flow cytometry for 7-AAD incorporation and binding to annexin V.
RESULTS: The presence of MSCs at 10 and 20% concentrations caused an increase in the number of living intact and PMA-activated lymphocytes by the end of 3-day in vitro cultivation. Compared with controls, the amount of necrotic cells decreased 8.3–13.5 times, and the number of apoptotic cells decreased 2.3–4.0 times, mainly due to lymphocytes at the late stage of apoptosis. MVs of MSCs at the indicated concentrations did not significantly affect the viability of lymphocytes cultured in vitro but reduced the level of apoptosis of intact and PMA-activated lymphocytes by 3.6 (р=0.03) and 4.8–5.2 (р=0.048; р=0.03) times respectively. Studies have shown that 1.25% rat PRP has a growth-stimulatory activity against MSCs but not against lymphocytes cultured in vitro. In the culture of intact lymphocytes, PRPs did not significantly affect cell viability with a slight decrease (2.7–2.9 fold, p 0.05) in the number of necrotic cells. In the culture of PMA-activated lymphocytes, 1.25–2.50% PRP increased the number of living cells by 1.6–2.2 times (р=0.002; р=0.01) and the number of necrotic cells by two times (р=0.02).
CONCLUSION: MSCs, MVs of MSCs, and PRP, in decreasing order, enhanced the viability of rat spleen lymphocytes and suppressed late apoptosis during in vitro cultivation. Lymphocytes activated by phorbol myristate acetate are more sensitive to their vital action compared with resting cells.
Approaches to Soil Hazard in Partially Nonergodic Ground-Motion Models
Authors: Liou Irene , Abrahamson Norman A. , Pretell Renmin
Published: September 2024

Partially nonergodic ground-motion models (GMMs) are used in probabilistic seismic hazard analysis for calculating site-specific hazards for soil sites. In calculating soil hazard as a part of the partially nonergodic methodology (also called single-station sigma), the ergodic sigma is reduced by modeling the median site-specific site term relative to the ergodic GMM. The standard deviation of the median site-specific site term is removed from the ergodic standard deviation, but the global value of the site-amplification (AF) variability about the median site term remains in the single-station sigma. It has been common practice to include the aleatory variability of site amplification from analytical modeling of the site response in the soil hazard calculation combined with the single-station sigma for the input motion variability, but this double counts the site-amplification variability by including both the global AF variability and the site-specific AF variability. Two approaches for avoiding this double counting are presented: (1) remove the global AF variability and add the site-specific AF variability for both linear and nonlinear behavior; and (2) assume that at low strain, the site-specific AF variability is equal to the global AF variability. This second approach eliminates the need to estimate global AF variability for the linear range, which is currently not well calibrated. A second issue related to aleatory variability for site response is the treatment of the model error from a 1D site response analysis. In some approaches, the model error is combined with aleatory variability for a simplified approach to estimating the mean hazard, but the model error should be modeled as an epistemic uncertainty as the model error can be reduced with improvements to the model.
A Brief, Emotion-Coaching Intervention for Caregivers of Pediatric Eating Disorder Patients: Feasibility, Acceptability, and Preliminary Impacts on Emotion Regulation
Authors:   , Trainor Claire , Manasse Stephanie M
Published: September 2024

Pediatric eating disorders (EDs) are serious psychiatric illnesses with often low remission rates following gold-standard, evidence-based interventions. Extant research highlights both emotion regulation (ER) and family factors as contributing factors to low remission rates. Caregivers play a critical role in helping adolescents to develop adaptive ER skills by modeling healthy strategies and appropriately responding to their child's emotions. As such, an intervention targeting parent emotional responding, by (1) identifying and remedying maladaptive ER strategies within the caregiver and (2) teaching caregivers skills to appropriately attune and respond to their child's emotions, may improve treatment outcomes. Accordingly, this mixed-methods study enrolled parents of children and adolescents (N = 9) who were in ED treatment to test the feasibility and acceptability of a four-session adjunctive emotion coaching. It assessed preliminary associations with changes in parent ER, coping with children's negative emotions, and adolescent ER, as well as adolescent ED symptoms. The intervention was overall feasible and acceptable to participants, indicated by overall acceptability ratings of 4.7/5 and positive qualitative feedback. Retention was high in the study. Effect sizes, as measured by Cohen's d, highlighted large, positive effects on parental global emotion regulation (d = .81), as well as parental ability to engage in goal directed behavior (d = .99) and regulate impulsivity (d = .99). There was a large, positive effect on parental emotion focused response to children's negative affect (d = -.81). Parents also reported greater adolescent awareness of emotion, with a medium effect size (d = .72). ED pathology improved significantly, though this is likely attributable to involvement in other treatment. Given high retention, acceptability ratings, and improvements in dyadic family processes likely to improve treatment outcomes, this intervention warrants future testing as an adjunct to other treatments for adolescent EDs.

Published: September 2024

Suriye’de savaş ortamının olması insanları göç etme mecburiyetinde bırakmaktadır. Suriye iç savaşının 2011 yılında çıkması Suriyelilerin Türkiye’ye göç etmesiyle sonuçlanmıştır. 22 Aralık 2022 verilerine göre Türkiye’de 3 milyon 543 bin 837 geçici koruma statülü Suriyeli bulunmaktadır. Yaklaşık 88 bini Kilis’te yaşamaktadır. Yerli nüfusa oranı yaklaşık yüzde 60’tır. Fakat bu oranın 2017 yılında yaklaşık olarak yüzde 97 olduğu görülmüştür. Bu çalışmada bariz bir şekilde azalmış olan Suriyeli nüfusun Kilis’ten neden göç ettiği araştırılmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı Kilis’ten ayrılıp gittikleri illerde beklentilerinin karşılanıp karşılanmadığını tespit etmektir. Konuya uygunluğu sebebiyle nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılarak Kilis’ten göç eden Suriyelilerle mülakat yapılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak yarı yapılandırılmış mülakat oluşturulmuştur. Çalışma kapsamında amaca yönelik örnekleme tekniği kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda Suriyelilerin Kilis’te iş olanaklarının olmamasından dolayı geçinmede problem yaşadıkları, çözümü ise sosyal sermayeleri sayesinde geçinebileceği başka bir yere giderek buldukları görülmüştür. Ayrıca gittikleri yerde her ne kadar geçinebilseler de Kilis’e hissettikleri aidiyeti tam olarak hissetmedikleri sonucuna da ulaşılmıştır. Son olarak Kilis’teki Suriyeliler üzerine çalışmalar yapılmıştır, fakat Kilis’te yaşayıp daha sonra başka bir yere göç eden Suriyelilerin göç etme nedenleri herhangi bir çalışmada ele alınmamış olması özgün değerini ortaya koymaktadır.

Published: September 2024

18. yüzyılda Hanlıklar şeklinde bölünmüş olan Azerbaycan’da merkezî bir devleti yoktu. 18. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında Azerbaycan’da hanlıklar ortaya çıktı. Hanlıklar arasında çıkan iç savaşlar sonucunda, ayrışarak bölünen Azerbaycan’ı işgal ve dış tehditlerden koruyabilecek merkezi bir güç yoktu. Dolayısıyla Azerbaycan coğrafyasını hâkimiyetine almak için birbirileriyle kıyasıya mücadele eden Rusya, İran ve Osmanlı devletleri arasında savaşlar olmuştur. 1800’lü yılların ilk çeyreğindeki savaşların galibi olarak öne çıkan Rusya, askerî güç kullanarak işgal ettiği Kafkasya’nın en önemli ülkesi olan Azerbaycan’ı işgal ederek siyasî ve askerî yönden tahakküm altına almıştır. Rusya; işgalden sonra Azerbaycan’a Hristiyan halkları taşıyarak demografik yapısını değiştirmiş, dinî yönden dönüştürmek ve Hristiyanlaştırmak için çalışmalar yapmış, iktisadî kaynaklarını sömürmüş ve tamamen ele geçirmiştir. Rusya, Azerbaycan’ı işgal ederek ülkesine katmak ve hâkimiyeti altında tutmak için stratejiler geliştirmiş ve projeler hazırlayıp uygulamıştır. 1830 yılına doğru Azerbaycan’ın da içinde yer aldığı Güney Kafkasya’nın tamamı Rusya’nın eline geçmiştir. Bu makalede, Yakın Çağ’da Rusya’nın Azerbaycan’ı ilhak etme, sömürme ve Hristiyanlaştırma süreci irdelenerek açıklanmıştır.

La finalidad del presente trabajo es ofrecer una visión amplia y comprensiva de la presencia de la que goza la región española de La Rioja en la literatura francesa, a lo largo de su historia. La Rioja no es un tema abordado muy en profundidad en el conjunto de la producción literaria en lengua francesa. Sin embargo, tiene una presencia de una notable continuidad en el curso de los siglos. Además, aparece en textos pertenecientes a géneros bastante variados (cantares de gesta, crónicas, biografías, relatos de viajes y de peregrinación jacobea, cantos populares relacionados con Compostela, novelas). Esto se explica por tres factores históricos: La Rioja ha sido recorrida por peregrinos, ocupada por ejércitos procedentes de Francia y visitada por viajeros no piadosos.

Authors: Paliwal Mohan , Munde Kalyan , Munde Anant
Published: September 2024

Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) represent a substantial portion of congenital heart diseases, with perimembranous VSD (pmVSD) being the most prevalent variant. While surgical closure is conventional, it carries risks such as atrioventricular block, infection, and neurological issues. In contrast, catheter-based interventions have shown promise, particularly for muscular VSDs, but data for pmVSD closure remains limited. We present a case of a 2-month-old male infant referred for heart failure symptoms, characterized by a grade 3/6 pan systolic murmur and mild cardiomegaly on chest X-ray. Echocardiography revealed a 5.5 mm pmVSD with a peak gradient of 32 mm of Hg and pulmonary artery systolic pressure of 10 mm of Hg. Despite de-congestive therapy, the patient showed no symptomatic improvement, prompting consideration of percutaneous device closure due to the infant's low body weight (3 kg) and failure to thrive.

This case report discusses the successful percutaneous closure of a perimembranous ventricular septal defect (pmVSD) in the youngest patient ever recorded. It highlights the effectiveness of transcatheter techniques in managing congenital heart defects in young patients.

Erythroxylum P. Browne represents the largest genus in the Erythroxylaceae family, comprising around 230 species. It is widely distributed in South America, Madagascar, Asia, and Australia. A significant number of species from the genus have been employed in traditional medicine to alleviate a variety of health issues. Except for cocaine-producing species, the genus has not received substantial chemical investigation. However, phytochemicals such as terpenoids and flavonoids from other species have also been found in Erythroxylum. Thus, the review aims to collect and analyze the scientific data available about the Erythroxylum species in terms of their phytoconstituents and pharmacological actions. The review also focuses on summarizing past study results and analyzing future directions of Erythroxylum species research.

Published: September 2024

Background: Osteonecrosis, popularly also called as Avascular necrosis is defined as insufficiency in arterial feeding of the head of the femur which creates a complex of symptoms, characterized by pain, impaired function, and structural breakdown, resulting in considerable deterioration, even necrosis of bone. Osteonecrosis can occur by a number of reasons. They can be traumatic (after femoral neck fractures or hip joint dislocations), idiopathic, corticosteroid-induced, alcohol-induced, and infection-related. In Ayurveda classics, this disease can be precisely correlated with Asthimajjagat Vata, which basically occurs due to the deficiency of Asthi and Majja dhatus. Case Report: This is a case report of a 52-years-old female patient who visited to the OPD, with pain in lumbar region that radiated to both lower limbs, pain in both hip joints and she couldn't walk a short distance and sit without the support of hand. She had a history of fall 2 years back after which the complaints started. Results and Observations: The patient got significant relief in his range of movement, abduction, adduction, flexion, extension, internal rotation and external rotation are improved after the treatment. Discussion: Combination of ksheera and tikta rasa dravya can produce snigdha and soshana property at the same time. All this contributes to the samprapti vighatana of this condition. Conclusion: The main aim of this study is to encourage the classical Ayurvedic remedies in the management of Osteonecrosis. This case study demonstrates the management of Osteonecrosis through classical Ayurvedic treatment.

Background: The objective of this research was to create a dependable RP-HPLC analytical technique for concurrently determining the levels of conessine, berberine HCl, and plumbagin in an ayurvedic formulation. Aim: The main goals were to develop a straightforward, precise, and consistent method for the pharmaceutical analysis of these compounds. Methods: The analytical method was developed using a BDS hypersil C18 tertiary mode column with a mobile phase incorporating 1% perchloric acid in water: methanol: acetonitrile (10:40:65% v/v/v). The analysis utilized a 1 ml/min flow rate, and detection was performed at 212 nm utilizing a PDA detector, SPD-20 A. The retention times for conessine, berberine HCl, and plumbagin were determined to be 3.12 minutes, 6.60 minutes, and 13.64 minutes, respectively. Linearity assessments were conducted in the concentration range of 25–75 ppm for all three phytomarkers. The correlation coefficients for conessine, berberine HCl, and plumbagin were found to be 0.999, 0.999, and 0.997, respectively. Results: The developed RP-HPLC method exhibited excellent linearity for all three compounds. Limit of detection and limit of quantification values were determined, with conessine at 1.36 μg/ml and 1.78 μg/ml, berberine HCl at 3.52 μg/ml and 4.12 μg/ml, and plumbagin at 5.40 μg/ml and 10.67 μg/ml, respectively. Precision studies, including inter-day and intra-day, demonstrated RSD values less than 2.00%. Accuracy was assessed through standard recovery methods, revealing satisfactory recovery values for conessine (100.0%–99.8%), berberine HCl (101.0%–100.9%), and plumbagin (101.4%–99.4%). Conclusion: The developed RP-HPLC method offers a robust and precise tool for the simultaneous estimation of conessine, berberine HCl, and plumbagin in ayurvedic formulations. The method’s accuracy and reproducibility make it suitable for use as a standardization tool in the evaluation of formulations containing these marker compounds. This study contributes to the analytical methods available for quality control in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in the context of ayurvedic formulations.

Published: September 2024

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a progressive disorder that leads to the degeneration of nerve cells, marked by a decline in cognitive abilities, including memory, reasoning, and behaviour. It stands as the primary cause of dementia in the elderly, leading to a gradual erosion of autonomy. Despite considerable research efforts, a definitive cure for AD remains out of reach, with existing treatments mainly focused on alleviating symptoms. The intricate nature of AD, which involves multiple pathological mechanisms, indicates that drugs targeting a single pathway might be inadequate. Herbal remedies, renowned for their diverse and multifunctional properties, present a promising alternative. This review examines the potential of herbal remedies to act as effective pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals in treating and preventing AD. By addressing various aspects of AD concurrently, these natural therapies offer a new and hopeful strategy for managing this debilitating condition.
