Authors: Pandey Chandani , Shrestha Junu , Timilsina Bishwodeep , Bhattarai Prerana , Rana Apariharya
Published: November 2021

Liver haematoma complicating pregnancy with HELLP syndrome is a rare but life-threatening condition. Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion. Here a case of liver haematoma is presented in a 29 years multigravida at 34 weeks of pregnancy. Initially hypertension was not revealed since she had presented in shock. She had presented with on and off epigastric pain for many days. In context of haemoperitoneum in ultrasound, emergency laparotomy was done and liver haematoma diagnosed intraoperatively. Haematoma was managed with packing and second look laparotomy was done to remove the packs. Haematoma gradually resolved over period of months.

Background and Aims: Frontal QRS-T angle has been previously correlated with long term mortality in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of frontal QRS-T angle and in-hospital outcomes in the setting of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
Methods: We evaluated 97 consecutive patients presenting to the emergency department of Shahid Gangalal National Heart Centre with chest pain of less than 12 hours duration, who were subsequently diagnosed as ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in a prospective observational study. The study was conducted from July 2020 to June 2021.The data evaluation included demographics, clinical variables, electrocardiogram, length of hospital stay and in hospital mortality. Patient outcomes were stratified into three groups according to frontal QRS-T angle. The relationship between mortality and frontal QRS-T angle was tested with chi-square test. The p-value across the groups was again tested for inter-group significance.
Results: Out of 97 patients 67 (69.07%) were male and 30 (30.92%) were female., The mean age of study population was 55.8±11.8 years. The patients under study were divided into three groups based on the calculation of fQRST angle as Group 1 (0-45°) being 46(47.4%), Group 2(46-90°) being 20(20.6%) and Group 3 (>90°) with 31(32%) cases. Diabetes and Congestive heart failure (CHF) patients were more likely to have increase in frontal QRST angle (P value 0.029, 0.012 respectively). Atrial fibrillation (AF) was higher among patients in group 3(>90° frontal QRST angle) which was statistically significant (0.012). Although the mean length of hospital stay was higher among patients with highest frontal QRST angle, it was statistically insignificant (p Value 0.062) however, the chance of hospital stay durations significantly increases across three groups at a 5% significance level (p-value: 0.018). In hospital mortality increased with increase in frontal QRST angle with 8.7%, 15% and 22.6% in group 1, 2 and 3 respectively however it was statistically insignificant.
Conclusion:  Diabetes, CHF and AF patients were more likely to have increase in frontal QRST angle. The chance of hospital stay duration significantly increases with increase in frontal QRST angle Although the in hospital mortality increased with increase in the frontal QRST angle, it was statistically insignificant. A prospective study with larger sample size will help to clarify its association.

Published: November 2021

Background and Aims: Factors responsible for complications and outcomes of surgical closure of ventricular septal defect differ between different cardiac centers globally. In this study, we tried to evaluate outcomes and predictors of morbidity and mortality of surgical closure of VSD in a single center.
Methods: The retrospective cohort study was conducted in Shahid Gangalal National Heart Centre from 14th April 2018 to 13th April 2020. It included consecutive series of patients undergoing ventricular septal defect closure as a primary surgery  
Results: Out of a total 166 patients, males were 100 (60%). Adverse complications occurred on 36 (21%) with mortality of 6 (3.6%). The age ranged from 4 months to 35 years. The weight <10 kgs at the time of operation had significant post-operative prolong ventilation duration (more than 6 hours) with a p value of 0.012; significant prolong ICU stays (>2 days) with a p value of <0.001; significant prolong hospital stay (> 7 days) with a p value of <0.001. The longer CPB time was associated with significantly prolonged ventilation duration (p value 0.001); significant longer ICU stay (p value 0.02). The age <1 year at the time of operation had significant prolonged ICU stay; significantly prolonged hospital stays (p value of 0.033). Severe pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) and weight up to 10 kgs at the time of operation demonstrated a trend towards association with mortality.
Conclusion: Surgical VSD closure can be done with acceptable level of mortality and morbidity in our context.

Microplastic (MP) pollution has become a global concern and a hot issue in Vietnam, especially along the coastal hydrosphere. The investigation was carried out by collecting the sediment samples from three typical urbanised beaches in Da Nang: My Khe, T20, and Son Thuy. The qualitative identification and quantitative analysis of MP samples were conducted using micro-Fourier-transform-infrared spectroscopy (μFTIR). A tailored analysis based on adaptation procedure of well-known ones was applied including 5 steps: (1) Drying and homogenising sediment sample; (2) Digestion and cleaning sediment sample; (3) MPs separation by the flotation; (4) MPs sample filtration; (5) MPs quantification and identification. The obtained data showed that the abundances of MPs at three beaches of Son Thuy, T20, and My Khe were 1,460±758, 1,799±370, and 29,232±2,577 items/kg dry sediment, respectively. MPs were classified by different sizes, in which the one with sizes being smaller than 150 μm was accounted for the highest proportion of 77.83% at Son Thuy, 87.96% at T20, and 65.91% at My Khe beach. The chemical composition of MPs with various polymers was precisely identified, in which three dominant polymers were determined as PTFE [Polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon)], EVOH (Ethylene vinyl alcohol), and PA [Polyamide (Nylon)]. Preliminary results of MPs analysis in sediment samples of the three selected beaches in Da Nang can be interpreted as a solid basis for further investigation of MP debris in the shoreline, offshore, and other related samples towards conclusions about the sources of MP pollution in the marine environment in Vietnam’s coastal hydrosphere in future.

Arsenic contamination in groundwater is commonly found in alluvial plains of major river basins, in which the Red river delta has also been reported to be contaminated with high levels of arsenic. In this study, groundwater from 50 household wells was collected to study the spatial distribution of arsenic in northwestern Hanoi. The results showed that arsenic concentration in groundwater varied in a wide range of less than 5 to 334 μg/l, of which up 62% of the wells exceeded the WHO guideline value of 10 μg/l for arsenic content in drinking water. Arsenic groundwater in this area is unevenly distributed throughout the area, high arsenic concentrations are found in a narrow band between Red river and Day river. This pattern of arsenic distribution is strongly related to the sediment age, sedimentary processes, and it is also modified by local groundwater flow parts and the occurrence of hydraulic connection between aquifers, which are observed in the study area. Arsenic is released into the groundwater during the reductive dissolution of arsenic-bearing minerals under the presence of organic matter.

In this paper, the effects of a flame retardant system combining ATH/MPP (aluminum hydroxide/melamine phosphate) and the other additives such as zinc stearate (ZnSt) on some properties of flame retardant PE compound based on LDPE were studied. The total flame retardant content was 35% by weight. Mechanical properties (tensile at break, elongation at break), thermal stability, and fire resistance were determined by the respective methods ASTM D638, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and UL-94 test. The obtained results showed that using the combination of ATH/MPP has increased the fire resistance and thermal stability of the PE compound. The sample CT7 (15%ATH/20%MPP/2%ZnSt) achieved the best fire resistance. The mechanical properties increased slightly when increasing the content of MPP and reached the maximum for samples containing only MPP. The SEM micrographs showed that the addition of zinc stearate improved the dispersion of ATH and MPP in the PE matrix. The effect of flame retardant additives and zinc stearate on the melt index value of the PE compound was also surveyed.

The purpose of the article is to identify shortcomings and substantiate the directions of the state policy to intensify the development of bank lending in the context of overcoming financial imbalances and ensuring structural reform of the national economy of Ukraine. Methods. The research is based on general scientific methods and approaches, system approach, general logical research methods (analysis, synthesis, generalization and comparison), the method of strategic management. Results. The article shows the conceptual relationship between bank lending to the economy and economic growth along with a structural economic reform. The key indicators of volumes, structure and tendencies of bank lending development, as well as measures of distribution of bank lending to the economy are analysed. Conclusions concerning sufficiency of bank lending for its proper contribution to the development of the real sector of the national economy are made. The current research describes the shortcomings of the structure of Ukraine’s economy formed at the current stage of socio-economic development of the country, which, in fact, are systemic obstacles to the restoration of economic growth and modernization of the social sphere of Ukraine. Strategic directions and means of the state policy for bank lending development are identified. Their implementation is supposed to intensify the bank lending to the economy and the consumer sector, on the one hand, and provide a positive impact of these processes on intensifying structural changes in the national economy, on the other hand. The structural scheme of reforming the institutional and legal mechanism of the state policy for bank lending development in Ukraine has been developed. The expected structural changes in the system of the national economy are determined, on which the development of bank lending in Ukraine is focused. Practical contribution. The implementation of the proposed measures at the level of the National Bank of Ukraine and the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Agriculture of Ukraine will stimulate banks, on the one hand, and businesses, on the other hand, to increase bank lending to the economy, in particular in those sectors having a positive effect on the key structural characteristics of the economy, such as development of strategic industries, de-shadowing, growth of innovation activity, the overall strengthening of the economic competitiveness. Prospects for further research. The obtained results are the basis for modelling and forecasting the implications for the state policy for intensification of bank lending and providing necessary structural changes in the national economy.

Published: November 2021

Present study was aimed to evaluate the anti-diabetic efficacy of Ficus glomerata in Alloxan monohydrate induced albino rats. Oral administration of fresh Ficus glomerataleaves (2 - 4 g/day) for 60 days shows significant blood glucose lowering effect in experimental alloxan induced diabetic rats. These diabetic rats blood glucose level became normal when fed with Ficus glomerata leaves. It is amply revealed that fresh Ficus glomerata indica leaves possessed anti-diabetic properties. The results suggest that statistically significant anti-diabetic potential in alloxan monohydrate induced diabetic rats. The Ficus glomerata leaves to be almost similar effect like insulin treatment in alloxan monohydrate administered animal model. From the present investigation it appeared that Ficus glomerata leaves might have some ingredients to increase the output of insulin by binding to the receptors of the Beta cells of the Langerhans located in the pancreas. Once they bind to the Sulphonyl urea receptors, the K+ -ATP channels are probably closed and therefore the membrane is depolarized and insulin production is stimulated.

Published: November 2021

Background Diabetes mellitus is well known as a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy is one of the diabetes complications that has a major impact on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes. Aim : To determine the prevalence of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy in patients with diabetes attending the diabetic center in Cotonou and to identify its risk factors. Materials and Methods : It was a cross-sectional study. Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy was identified using deep breathing test, standind test and the blood pressure response to standing test (orthostatic hypotension). Chi square test was used for statistical analysis and différence was considered significant when p<0.05. Results : A total of 405 subjects were included in the study. Their mean age was 53.67±11,68 years and the mean diabetes duration was 6.66 years. The prevalence of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy was 65.9%. Regarding the severity of the complication in neuropathic patients, 51.7% of them had an early neuropathy, 41.2% have presented a moderate neuropathy and 7.1% have presented a severe neuropathy. Factors associated with cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy were age of patients (p = 0.0002), diabetes duration (p = 0.0012), hypertension (p =0.0015), dyslipidemia (p = 0.027) and high pulsed blood pressure (p = 0.032) Conclusion : Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy is a very frequent complication of diabetes mellitus. Unfortunately this complication of diabetes is not often explored in the patient's follow-up examination. As this complication is recognised to be associated with high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, systematic screening can be recommanded in patients with long duration of diabetes or presenting an other cardiovascular risk factor.

Aim : To study the seasonal characteristics of hyperglycemic decompensations in the endocrinology department of the CNHU-HKM of Cotonou. Materials and methods :It was a cross-sectional, descriptive, and study of diabetic patients hospitalized from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2019. Diabetic patients hospitalized for ketosis decompensation and/or hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome were included in this study. The meteorological data used were obtained from the climate observation network of the Direction de la Météorologie Nationale (DMN) du Bénin. We have considered the means of rainfall and temperature per month and per year. Results : A total of 613 patients were included during the study period. The mean age of the patients was 46.77±15.84 years. The frequency of hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome and ketoacidosis was 14.7% and 69.5% respectively. Hyperglycemic crises were more frequent during the rainy season and periods of low temperature. The main precipitating factors were infections and non-adherence to treatment. The main infectious sites involved in hyperglycemic crises were pulmonary (19%), urogenital (21.3%) and malaria (26.8%). The frequency of these different infections was higher during the rainy season with a statistically significant difference (p=0.02) for malaria. Conclusion : The frequency of hyperglycemic crises was high and had a seasonal distribution. The most frequent precipitating factors were infections and non-adherence to treatment.

Madhumeha is a disease known since ancient times to the mankind, its upsurge is quiet alarming. On the basis of its symptomatology Madhumeha can be correlated to the features of Diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder of carbohydrate, fat, & protein characterized by hyperglycemia with or without glycosuria. It is associated with long-term potentially catastrophic effects on almost all systems of the body. Ayurveda can provide better management for Madhumeha without hazardous side effects. In Ayurveda, Madhumeha has been described as one among one of the 20 types of Prameha and is a sub-type of Vatika Prameha. In the former type the patients are usually asthenic can be correlated with Type I DM and in the latter type patients are obese and can be equated with Type II DM. Nishakatakadi Kwath has been mentioned in Sahasrayoga under Kashaya Prakaran for Prameha Chikitsa, Nishakatakadi Kwath is being used widely for the treatment of Madhumeha in Kerala. That is why Nishakatakadi Kwath has been selected for the present study. In this study to study various clinical symptoms of madhumeha with special reference to Diabetes Mellitus II. To compare efficacy of Nishkatakadi Kwath with Metformin inthe management of Madhumeha, To observe any possible adverse effect of Nishkatakadi kwath if reported during the study. In the present study Trial and Control groups comprising 30 patients each of Madhumeha (Diabetes Mellitus type II) were treated with Nishkatakadi kwath with tab metformin and Tab Metformin alone respectively. This study shows that both the drugs NISHKATAKADI KWATH with metformin are more effective than METFORMIN in Madhumeha to reduce symptoms and patients score.

Purpose: to develop layout and design schemes for the territorial arrangement of drip irrigated commercial fruit orchards. Materials and methods. When the goal was achieved, the tasks on assessing and choosing the layouts of the garden's plant modules – garden squares, quarters and rows that make up tree-fruit plantations, and the development of irrigation network modules that ensure their drip irrigation were solved. The factual basis of the study was formed by the survey data of wood-fruit orchards and well-known recommendations on the organization of the garden plantings territory. Results. Taking a modular approach to the planning of perennial woody-fruit plantations, implying the arrangement of garden squares, quarters and rows as a basis, the corresponding schemes of the section, irrigation and watering modules ensuring their drip irrigation, were suggested. Taking into account the shapes and sizes of eight-squares garden blocks, two schemes of drip sectional modules were proposed, including a sectional distributor, sprinklers and a system of irrigation pipelines. The irrigation module, which provides watering of the garden quarter, includes an irrigation pipeline and irrigation pipelines fed from it. The watering module provides for irrigation of one row of woody-fruit plants and includes one (for a single-line irrigation module) or two (for a two-line irrigation module) irrigation pipelines with a system of built-in drip micro-outlets, placed taking into account the planting pattern of perennial plants and forming contours or strips of soil moisture in the sub-drip soil space. Conclusions. Rational layout solutions for drip irrigation network modules are proposed, corresponding to garden modules and allowing unifying design solutions for organizing the territory of drip irrigated gardens cultivated according to industrial technologies for planting, maintenance and harvesting operations.

Purpose: to define the efficiency of large irrigation canals on the example of the Donskoy main canal and the Bolshoy Stavropol canal during their reconstruction. Materials and methods. The use of geocomposite materials is of interest to creating combined linings of large canals. A geocomposite anti-seepage structure made without a protective layer at the bottom and part of the slope and a concrete-film element in the zone of wave and ice impact is considered. The application of such a combined lining makes it possible to reduce the cost of the anti-seepage screen, to shorten the construction time, to reduce the canal roughness and to increase its water-carrying capacity. The method of hydraulic research is based on the field data of the Bolshoy Stavropol and the Donskoy main canals for average and maximum values of hydraulic parameters. In particular, it was necessary to determine the roughness coefficients of the canal in the area between the sections. Results. A feature of the reconstruction of the most dangerous sections of the Donskoy main canal is the close location of the groundwater level to the surface, which leads to the transition of free filtration to a banked-up one. According to the results of calculations, the total losses are 13.7×10³ cubic meters/day in the section 57–70 km, and with canal lining – 0.504 cubic meters/day, which is 2.09 times less than with banked-up filtration in the earthen bed. Conclusions. The most effective types of linings with the use of geocomposites which, as shown by field surveys, are reliable combined coatings, are presented. Anti-seepage facilities made of concrete and reinforced concrete have high impermeability, though at the same time they are destroyed over time under the influence of water and freezing-thawing processes.

Purpose: an experimental comparison of the optimal operating modes of standard and modernized hydrocyclone for water purification in reclamation systems. Materials and methods: experimental studies to determine the water purification efficiency from dispersed particles for standard and modernized hydrocyclone were carried out, in which the drain pipe is supplemented with a bulk filter. The water with a given concentration of solid particles, the size and concentration of which corresponded to the fractional composition of impurities in a natural reservoir was the simulative suspension. Results and discussions. As a result of the analysis of the water of a natural water source, it was found that the mass concentration of solid particles is 5 %, while 21 % of the total mass of mechanical impurities are particles with a size of 50 microns or less. The optimal value of the diameter of the sand pipe of a standard hydrocyclone GNS-100 for separating the investigated suspension is 10 mm. This design provides a purification degree of 0.79, while the ratio of purified and sludge water discharge is 3.6. The optimal parameters of the hydrocyclone of the proposed design are the diameter of the sand pipe 10 mm and the backfill of the filter layer 75 %. This configuration provides a 0.91 separation efficiency with a 17 % sludge water loss. Conclusions: the proposed design of a hydrocyclone with a drain pipe, supplemented with a bulk filter, makes it possible to increase the efficiency of trapping mechanical impurities by 12 % in comparison with a typical apparatus, which is due to the joint implementation of hydrocyclone processes and filtration through a layer of granular loading.

Purpose: to develop a design-layout scheme for a two-line irrigation module of a drip irrigation system, providing effective drip irrigation of perennial tree fruit crops cultivated in garden plantings. Materials and methods. The main requirements for developing an irrigation module scheme are: ensuring the required proportion of moisture area, ensuring a regulated distance between the woody plant stem and the nearest emitter at least 0.2 m, ensuring the possibility of periodically changing the emitter position relative to the plant stem. When developing the scheme of the irrigation module, the methods of search design were used. Results. A constructive scheme of a two-line irrigation module intended for drip irrigation of one row of plants in a perennial tree fruit plantation is proposed, it includes two irrigation lines symmetrically located relative to the axis of a row of plants with emitters arranged in them. Drip tubing with wall thickness from 0.8 to 1.2 mm is recommended for use as irrigation lines. Drip lines are located on supports at a height of 50 cm from the earth's surface and have the ability to change their position relative to the axis of a row of plants. The head and tail structure of the irrigation module are connected to the supply and discharge pipelines through flexible water conduits. The end part of the irrigation module provides for the possibility of collecting and discharging wash water (solution). Conclusions. As a result of the studies carried out, a constructive solution for a two-line irrigation module of a drip irrigation network was proposed, which allows: to increase the proportion of the moistening area from the area of nutrition of each plant to the standard values, to ensure effective watering of the root-inhabited soil space at different stages of plant growth and development, to reduce the intensity of soil degradation during drip irrigation.
