Natural Flocculant from a Combination of Moringa oleifera Seeds and Cactus Cladodes (Opuntia ficus-indica) to Optimize Flocculation Properties
Authors: Eichhorn Christian , Weckmüller Sina , Urban Wilhelm
Published: November 2022

The lack of access to clean water worldwide and organic, inorganic as well as biological contamination of existing freshwater sources are a major problem for around 2 billion people, especially in the countries of the global south. One sign of polluted water is turbidity. It is generally caused by colloidal and particulate suspended solids. Chemical flocculants are often used to reduce turbidity and thus eliminate the mostly harmful substances that cause it. However, these have some disadvantages, such as cost and availability, so increasingly natural plant-based flocculants are coming into focus and are considered as an alternative option. In this study, Moringa seeds (Moringa oleifera) and cactus cladodes (Opuntia ficus-indica) were investigated as innovative and environmentally friendly flocculants for water treatment. The parameters investigated included absolute turbidity reduction and flocculation activity, as well as shear strength of the resulting flocs. The flocculation experiments were conducted as simultaneous tests in beakers. Experiments were conducted using both a laboratory-prepared model suspension with an initial turbidity of approximately 139 NTU and natural surface water with an initial turbidity of approximately 136 NTU. The flocculant dosages used ranged from 100 to 300 mg/L. The results show that although Moringa seeds had the highest flocculation activity (up to 93%), the flocs were very fragile and were destroyed again even at low induced shear forces. Flocculants from cactus yielded stable flocs, but the flocculation activity (maximum at 54%) was not as high as that of Moringa. The combination of the two materials resulted in a flocculant with sufficiently high flocculation activity (76%) and stable flocs, which could withstand higher shear forces potentially induced in further treatment steps.
Hydrological Impact Assessment of Future Climate Change on a Complex River Basin of Western Ghats, India
Authors: Visweshwaran R. , Ramsankaran RAAJ , Eldho T. I. , Jha Manoj Kumar
Published: November 2022

Climate change (CC) affects millions of people directly or indirectly. Especially, the effect of CC on the hydrological regime is extensive. Hence, understanding its impact is highly essential. In this study, the Bharathapuzha river basin (BRB) lying in the Western Ghats region of southern India is considered for CC impact assessment, as it is a highly complex and challenging watershed, due to its varying topographical features, such as soil texture, land use/land cover types, slope, and climatology, including rainfall and temperature patterns. To understand the CC impact on the hydrological variables at BRB in the future, five downscaled global circulation models (GCMs) were used, namely BNU-ESM, Can-ESM, CNRM, MPI-ESM MR, and MPI-ESM LR. These GCMs were obtained for two representative concentration pathway (RCP) scenarios: 4.5 representing normal condition and 8.5 representing the worst condition of projected carbon and greenhouse gases concentration on the lower atmosphere. To obtain the continuous simulation of hydrological variables, the SWAT hydrological model was adopted in this study. Results showed that rainfall pattern, evapotranspiration, and soil moisture will increase at moderate to significant levels in the future. This is especially seen during the far future period (i.e., 2071 to 2100). Similar results were obtained for surface runoff. For instance, surface runoff will increase up to 19.2% (RCP 4.5) and 36% (RCP 8.5) during 2100, as compared to the average historical condition (1981–2010). The results from this study will be useful for various water resources management and adaptation measures in the future, and the methodology can be adopted for similar regions.
The Causative Agents of Mortalities of Pen-Cultured Coho Salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch, in Japan
Authors: ATSUTA SHIZUO
Published: November 2022

The causes of mortalities of pen-cultured coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch, were investigated using bacterial and histopathological procedures. Three main causative agents were identified: BKD, vibriosis and a nutrient­ deficiency disease represented by lipoid degeneration of the liver. Some 42% of the fish examined were BKD-positive by the dot blot assay; the proportion containing Vibrio anguillarum was 12%; 66% had lipoid degeneration of liver. Although 12% of the fish did not have any of these three agents, they did show some degeneration of the liver. The results suggested that the primary disease in pen-cultured coho salmon was a nutritional disease caused by insufficient feeding and this stress induced infectious diseases such as BKD or vibriosis.

Authors: WANQI CAI
Published: November 2022

This paper reports on the pathology of red-spot disease caused by Aeromonas in the soft shelled turtle, Torianyx sinensis. Histopathological changes included hyperemia, hemorrhage and extensive degene­ration of the liver, kidney and muscle. In diseased turtles, biochemical changes were characterized by the absence of activity of LDH subunit A in the liver and kidney. The mobility of LDH isozymes formed mainly by subunit A became greater, and the total protein content in muscle, liver and kidney decreased significantly.
Interaction of Ration and Unilateral Eyestalk Ablation on Energetics of Female Macrobrachium nobilii
Authors: KUMARI S. SINDHU , PANDIAN T.J.
Published: November 2022

Effects of different feeding levels on moulting, growth, reproduction, food utilization and energy partitioning were studied for 2-5 successive moulting periods in normal and unilaterally eye stalk-ablated female Macrobrachium nobilii. Diminiahingrationa entailed heavy mortality and extended the intermoult period, which was age-rather than weight dependent and more influenced by ablation than ration. Growth was more a ration dependent process. Rates of growth and metabolism. were influenced by the interaction between ration and ablation. Conversion efficiency was influenced more by ration than ablation. Maximum numbers of eggs were produced by the ablated group receiving 80% of an ad libitum diet. Adults set priority for egg production and allocated a major fraction of the converted energy for it.

Authors: Nascimento Tarcília Fernandes , Belletti Rodrigues Luiz Antonio
Published: November 2022

O presente artigo analisa a política de cotas no curso de Medicina da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. A escolha da instituição deveu-se ao fato de se tratar da universidade que recebeu a responsabilidade de inaugurar a política no Brasil, estando sob as críticas e polêmicas desde os primeiros momentos. O curso foi escolhido por ser de alto prestígio social, historicamente ocupado pelas elites, e com grau de dificuldade de entrada muito acentuado. O interesse por descobrir como esta política é encarada em um curso com estas características foi o motor propulsor desta pesquisa. Pretendeu-se descobrir quem são os alunos beneficiários deste programa, atentando para suas características socioeconômicas e de desempenho escolar. Buscou também compreender como são dadas as relações destes alunos, entre eles, entre os demais estudantes, professores e a vida universitária. A metodologia do trabalho de pesquisa partiu da análise de documentos e de pesquisa de campo. Foram analisadas as atas do Conselho Superior da Uerj (Consun), as leis nacionais e estaduais e o banco de dados estatísticos da Uerj, o DataUerj. Foram realizadas também entrevistas com alunos cotistas e não cotistas do curso, sobre o que se refere às percepções destes atores sobre a política analisada. O referencial teórico discute conceitos sobre credencialismo, meritocracia e espaços subordinados.
Rio, Ruas e Sambas:
Authors: Nigro Fernandes Solis Victor
Published: November 2022

O presente artigo procura analisar o processo de constituição do Rio de Janeiro enquanto uma cidade musical. Mais precisamente, sua composição no território enquanto uma cidade do Sul Global foi produzida a partir de múltiplos processos sociais ao longo do tempo, engendrando uma sociedade ao mesmo tempo cosmopolita e desigual. O artigo traz a imagem de um caleidoscópio social, representativo de um movimento espontâneo pelo qual a população se misturaria e se relacionaria, entre si e externamente, de modo diverso em fluxos múltiplos ao longo do tempo, tendo em vista que as relações sociais estão em permanente transformação. As iniciativas seriam tomadas por entre as brechas que haviam no interior das políticas repressivas e excludentes sobre os segmentos populares de maioria negra, ou seja, os indivíduos pertencentes a esses estratos participariam da vida social conjunta, coletivamente construindo seus laços sociais, sua identidade em comum, expressando suas concepções de mundo e consolidando-se enquanto grupo social ativo através das manifestações culturais, nas festas, meios musicais e artísticos em geral, ainda que limitados a períodos e ambientes restritos. 
A partir de uma metodologia de revisão histórica da formação da cidade e de algumas experiências de atores sociais importantes para o samba, pretendo destacar os espaços de sociabilidade comuns à população, tais como as ruas, avenidas e praças, bem como locais de natureza privada, como as residências e os botequins, os quais, de maneira conflituosa, possibilitariam a construção das redes de sociabilidade interna e a reterritorialização de espaços musicais. Procuro, ainda, apontar como essa coesão interna transbordou para além de grupos sociais restritos a uma esfera local, a partir de intensas relações sociais e da circularidade cultural, espalhando assim a “vocação musical” da cidade do Rio de Janeiro como uma produção moderna exterior ao poder colonial cultural.
Música periférica
Authors: Oliveira Wesley
Published: November 2022

Na contemporaneidade, principalmente para os artistas dos circuitos independentes, a internet se tornou uma ferramenta fecunda para a divulgação de suas músicas, bem como para demarcar seu espaço e propor estratégias para se inserir na cena musical, em Macapá-AP. O cenário musical amapaense é atravessado por múltiplos códigos culturais, sociais e políticos, que representam as particularidades de se produzir e fazer música no contexto amazônico. Tendo como enfoque central o rap, o elemento musical da cultura Hip Hop, este artigo tem como objetivo geral analisar qual o lugar que o rap pretende alcançar no cenário artístico e cultural amapaense. Para tal, adotou-se como metodologia a pesquisa documental e a técnica de entrevista como instrumento para coleta de dados. Como resultado, depreendeu-se que o lugar cobiçado pelo rap é o seu reconhecimento como gênero musical e ativismo social, propondo, através da “Nova MPA”, uma nova categoria musical e cultural para o universo do rap, a Música Periférica Amapaense, aplicado como um meio de expressar sua musicalidade, inconformismo social e o embate para se inserir no cenário musical local.

Authors: Schmidt Visentini Íngrid , Donida Alexia , Senna Ferreira Laura
Published: November 2022

Este artigo traz uma análise das relações de gênero e de trabalho na área de Tecnologia da Informação (TI) na cidade de Santa Maria, no Rio Grande do Sul. A partir das questões analisadas, atenta-se para a importância de um recorte de gênero em um campo majoritariamente dominado por homens e caracterizado por exigências tidas como masculinas — liderança, determinação, autonomia —, apresentando-se, assim, um perfil de profissional que reforça a divisão sexual do trabalho, fato expresso pelo baixo número de mulheres no mundo do trabalho da TI. A pesquisa foi realizada ao longo dos anos de 2017 e de 2018, desenvolvida junto a estudantes, a trabalhadores e a empreendedores do setor, bem como entre representantes das principais instituições que fomentam o empreendedorismo na cidade de Santa Maria.
O Estado controla a Internet?
Authors: Guimarães Tatiane
Published: November 2022

O artigo procura entender como os Estados interferem na Internet. De início, a Internet parecia ser um local resguardado do poder estatal, no entanto, a “independência” da Internet logo foi vista como utopia e, então, tentou-se criar vertentes de sua regulação. Assim como a Internet, a linha prevalente hoje da regulação da Internet, proposta por Lessig, de controle do código-fonte das aplicações e serviços da Internet, não deixou de evoluir nas décadas seguintes ao seu surgimento. Os Estados passaram a pressionar os intermediários a seguirem suas determinações por meio de responsabilidades e isenções quando suas leis são seguidas. No entanto, vê-se um crescente protagonismo das plataformas na regulação da liberdade de expressão, um dos direitos mais básicos exercidos online. Conclui-se, com o artigo, que a Internet nos impõe um novo modelo de regulação que tanto se adapta e se altera rapidamente, quanto interfere na capacidade estatal de controlar comportamentos e garantir direitos de seus cidadãos. A Internet não é uma terra sem lei, mas uma terra com muitas leis, cada uma advinda de um agente, fruto de uma mistura de pressões Estatais, mercadológicas e até sociais. Autores como Balkin (2014, 2018) e Frosio (2021) auxiliam a compreensão das atuais tendências de relação e regulação da Internet pelos Estados.
Redes de comunicação pública, múltiplas ontologias e participação política das mulheres a partir da ONG Themis
Authors: Souza Barfknecht Taíse
Published: November 2022

O presente ensaio propõe uma análise inicial da iniciativa Promotoras Legais Populares (PLPs), promovida pela Organização Não-Governamental Themis – Gênero, Justiça e Direitos Humanos de Porto Alegre/RS, com enfoque na formação de redes de mulheres promovida pela instituição.  Valendo-se dos conceitos de Teoria Ator-Rede (ANT), múltiplas ontologias e redes de comunicação pública, o trabalho realiza uma reflexão teórico-metodológica como embasamento para investigar como os projetos da ONG Themis contribuem para a visibilidade e credibilidade das mulheres participantes, promovendo o acesso e a defesa de direitos, bem como sua participação política. A análise demonstrou que o sistema de Justiça apresenta um formato único para lidar com as múltiplas experiências das cidadãs, e que o rastreamento de redes de comunicação pública pode representar uma ação inicial de pesquisa, visando compreender as possibilidades de combate à violência contra a mulher, bem como fomentar sua participação política em espaços decisórios. Assim, a triangulação entre Teoria Ator-Rede (ANT), múltiplas ontologias e redes de comunicação pública compõe um frutífero campo analítico, considerando a agência de humanos e não-humanos nos processos de cidadania.
Disquisiciones en torno al arte sonoro: inflexiones del sentido en un campo en construcción
Authors: Buján Federico
Published: November 2022

El presente artículo propone una aproximación a un conjunto de problemáticas relativas al campo del arte sonoro, un campo que se encuentra actualmente en construcción y que genera profundas rupturas en relación a las formas más consolidadas de las artes aurales y define nuevas modalidades de producción y de emplazamiento de las obras así como nuevas y desafiantes condiciones espectatoriales. A tales efectos, se parte de una problematización general acerca de su estatuto, poniendo foco en la heterogeneidad y complejidad del campo, así como en la diversidad de sus prácticas y de los discursos que se formulan acerca de las mismas. Por otra parte, se circunscriben las principales vertientes que definen sus orientaciones dominantes y se enfatizan sus diferencias más notorias. A partir de allí se propone una exploración más específica sobre diversas dimensiones del objeto de estudio, examinando sus principales cualidades desde una perspectiva semiótica, abordando las condiciones de base sobre las que se despliega la circulación del sentido y las vías por las que se da lugar a la emergencia de una nueva auralidad. Se concluye, finalmente, acerca del modo en que el campo va construyendo sus propios relatos históricos y estéticos.

Пандемія коронавірусу актуалізувала проблематику інформаційної безпеки для України. Маніпуляція інформацією стосовно проблематики COVID-19 становить загрозу захищеності громадян України від деструктивних інформаційно-психологічних впливів. За допомогою контент-аналізу було виділено домінуючі деструктивні міфи стосовно епідемії COVID-19, які найбільш поширені у суспільній свідомості українців. Зазначено, що низький рівень інформаційної грамотності населення призводить до невміння людей забезпечувати власну інформаційну безпеку. Відстежено піки зростання маніпулятивних матеріалів щодо коронавірусу в медіа-просторі просторі України. Констатовано, що пандемія коронавірусу для органів публічної влади України стала тестом на відповідальність. Маючи усі важелі впливу, владні органи України переважно виявилися не готовими формувати своєчасні ефективні механізми протидії деструктивним інформаційно-психологічним впливам, пов’язаних з пандемією COVID-19. Найчастіше неефективність органів влади проявлялася або у повільному реагуванні на виклики та деструктивні інформаційно-психологічні загрози щодо епідемії COVID-19, або в ігноруванні означених загроз.

The Relationship Of Breast Examination Examination Using Video Media With Adolescent's Knowledge About Breading In Simpang Four Village,Sei Rampah District In 2020
Authors: Sinaga Rosmani
Published: November 2022

Cancer is one of the non-communicable diseases that is a burden on health throughout the world. Cancer is a disease characterized by abnormal cells that can grow uncontrollably and have the ability to invade and move between cells and body tissues. The World Health Organization/World Health Organization mentions cancer as one of the main causes of death worldwide (Ministry of Health, 2019). Breast cancer early detection activities can use the Clinical Breast Examination (SADANIS) or Clinical Breast Examination (CBE) method and by teaching Breast Self- Examination (BSE). SADANIS and BSE aim to find lumps in the breast as early as possible so that early action can be taken (Kemenkes, 2015). The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between Breast Self-Examination Extension Using Video Media and Adolescent Knowledge About Consciousness in Simpang Empat Village, Sei Rampah Subdistrict in 2020. The type of research used was a quasi-experimental type of research using a one group pretest posttest design with the man witney test. U. The sample size in this study was 49 respondents who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based on the results of research analysis in the group before and after the intervention, the average value of the knowledge of the respondents before receiving counseling was 63.81, while the average value after receiving counseling was 35.19. After the statistical test was carried out, the Mann Witney U test results obtained p value = 0.000 (p <0.05) meaning that there was an effect of breast self-examination (BSE) counseling using video on respondents' knowledge.

Museología de un retorno imperfecto: la colección Machu Picchu en el Museo Casa Concha
Authors: Decoster Jean-Jacques
Published: November 2022

La repatriación de la colección de Machu Picchu de Yale a Cusco, Perú, fue aclamada como “exitosa”, por ser el primer ejemplo conocido de devolución de artefactos culturales efectuada por un país que no fuera la antigua potencia colonial. Esta evaluación debe ser reevaluada tanto en términos del éxito del retorno como de la relativización de la idea de poder colonial.Se utilizan modelos epistemológicos transculturalistas y poscolonialistas para enmarcar la conceptualización del museo como zona de contacto, mientras que el discurso curatorial no aborda el tema crítico de la polifonía de narrativas históricas en conflicto y, en cambio, reproduce una expresión hegemónica del conocimiento occidental en un espacio intercultural.
K’ayom amal, the Singing Anuran: a New Organological Variant of Classic Maya Period Double Aerophone
Authors: Brohée Jean-Francois
Published: November 2022

This paper aims to present and acoustically analyze a Late Classic Maya Period double flute with a previously unreported organological configuration. This aerophone features a complex airduct assembly, spheroidal chambers, and exit tubes inserted into the tripod figurine of a standing toad. Computational analyses of the acoustic signal recorded throughout the experimental playing of the flute reveal that the instrument maker purposely designed the sonic artifact to emulate the iterative croak of the depicted anuran. Furthermore, the symbolic impact of the interpreter’s gesture is emically studied and correlated with anuran-related Maya iconographic, epigraphic, lexicographic, archaeological, and ethnographic data.

Published: November 2022

Sihó is a Prehispanic archaeological site located in the Northern Maya Lowlands at Yucatan Peninsula, where have been documented a considerable number of percussion and/or abrasive tools made from limestone cobbles. These artifacts have certain physical and chemical characteristics which may be symptomatic of a particular geological origin. The statistical treatment of data extracted by X-ray fluorescence gives us the possibility of discerning limestone materials from different geological formations, based on their proportion of silicon (Si), calcium (Ca) or iron (Fe). Together with a comparative calculation between sphericity indexes of this round cobbles, suggest it catchment at Ticul fault colluvial secondary geological deposits twenty km from the site.

Notar que la devolución parcial en el 2011 al Cuzco de los bienes culturales muebles de Machupicchu que se llevó consigo Hiram Bingham a la Universidad de Yale entre 1909 y 1916 se hizo dejando pendientes; luego observar que el regreso al Cuzco de la Placa Echenique en junio del 2021 representa la exitosa culminación de una gestión peruano estadounidense respetuosa de los respectivos orígenes precolombinos de ambos países; y finalmente percatarse que la Iglesia Católica Peruana todavía no participa con iniciativa propia en la recuperación de las obras de arte religiosas que le han robado en el Cuzco. Estos saqueos son popularmente llamados “robos sacrílegos”. Presento estos tres casos porque las y los cuzqueños son los peruanos que más y mejor se interesan por la recuperación de su patrimonio cultural mueble robado y/o sacado de contrabando fuera del país.

Authors:   , Valle Sofía del
Published: November 2022

Introducción: Se puede definir al sobrepeso y la obesidad como una acumulación anormal o excesiva de grasa que puede ser perjudicial para la salud. Su etiología es multifactorial y de curso crónico lo que representa un desafío para el manejo clínico. No existen actualmente estudios nutricionales en poblaciones rurales del partido de Tandil. Objetivos: Evaluar la prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad, hábitos de alimentación y nivel de actividad física en adolescentes que concurren a escuelas rurales de nivel secundario del partido de Tandil. Material y métodos: Estudio observacional y analítico de corte transversal. Se evaluaron 100 alumnos que concurrían a nivel secundario de escuelas rurales. Se tomaron medidas antropométricas, peso corporal, talla y circunferencia media de brazo (CB). Se calculó el índice de masa corporal (IMC) se determinó la prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad de acuerdo al puntaje Z IMC/Edad. Se evaluó el nivel de diversidad de la dieta, tiempo frente a pantallas y el nivel de actividad física mediante una encuesta. Resultados: La mediana de edad de los participantes fue de 14,75 años. La prevalencia de exceso de peso fue de 37%. El 74% de los encuestados no cumple con el ejercicio recomendado por la OMS. Se encontró una diferencia significativa en el tiempo de actividad física entre el grupo exceso de peso (38,5 min/día) (27,3; 41,9) y el grupo normopeso (48,6 min/día) (34,3; 67,7) (p=0,017). La alimentación presentó, en promedio, una diversidad "intermedia". Ambos grupos refirieron consumir carnes (88%), lácteos (74%) y huevos (56%). Ningún encuestado manifestó consumir pescado. El 70% refirió consumir frutas y verduras aunque se observa poca variedad de las mismas. El 74% de los encuestados no cumple con la recomendación de menos de 2 hs./día de pantalla. No se observaron diferencias significativas en relación al consumo de pantallas entre el grupo normopeso y el grupo con exceso de peso (p=0,179). Conclusiones: La población estudiada presenta una alta prevalencia de exceso de peso y sedentarismo, y exceso de tiempo frente a pantallas. Si bien la dieta presenta una diversidad intermedia con alto consumo de carnes, lácteos y huevos, se observa poca variedad de frutas y verduras. Es necesario promover estrategias de prevención y manejo del peso corporal en la población adolescente de zonas rurales de Tandil.
LA DERECHA CHILENA Y LA POLITICA SOCIAL, 1990-2019
Authors: Miranda Rozas Carlos Javier
Published: November 2022

En este trabajo se intentará demostrar que la supuesta disposición negativa de la derecha chilena respecto de la política social, derivada de su adhesión al neoliberalismo, constituye un prejuicio que no representa las posiciones concretas defendidas por este sector político en las últimas décadas. Para ello se analizarán diversas fuentes que revelan que la derecha no posee un apego irrestricto a los postulados teóricos del neoliberalismo, ni a las recetas de lo que ha sido el neoliberalismo en la práctica. Finamente se plantea la idea de que para la derecha el problema central, en materia de política social, se relaciona con la defensa de los sectores propietarios.
PERIODIZACIÓN DEL MOMENTO CONSTITUTIVO PLURINACIONAL BOLIVIANO: UNA VISIÓN AGROAMBIENTAL
Authors: Ponce de León Iturry Juan Carlos
Published: November 2022

El sistema hegemónico en Bolivia comprendido entre 2006 y 2019 refleja la deconstrucción del Estado republicano y la erección del Estado plurinacional que pretende constituirse más allá de un ciclo reformador y progresista, en una superestructura orgánica de poder ideológico y burocracia estatal. Se presenta, desde una visión agroambiental, tres momentos de análisis político abordando la dimensión formal del discurso que describe la visión del régimen en función de gobierno. Para ello se expone el surgimiento de un discurso político apoyado en el texto constitucional plurinacional que pretende modificar la matriz de pensamiento mediante un marco jurídico significativo, representativo, y suficientemente homogéneo a partir de la masa de documentos producidos. El análisis desarrollado expone desde la perspectiva formal cómo el régimen en gobierno, en el periodo de estudio, pretende mostrar el alejamiento de las ideas republicanas y el establecimiento de un paradigma ambiental armónico de desarrollo pero que en un giro dialéctico retoma las practicas republicanas cuestionadas.

REVIEW OF THE ROLE OF BRACHYTHERAPY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF ORAL CAVITY CANCERS
Authors: Raghava KS Abhishek
Published: November 2022

From the day of invention of Radium, brachytherapy has been practised worldwide. Can any technological advancement in external beam
radiotherapy replace brachytherapy? Answer probably no, especially in Gynaecological cancers as categorically stated by GEC-ESTRO experts.
External beam radiation therapy using contemporary conformal techniques and brachytherapy play a signicant role in the management of oral
cavity cancer. Small sized tumors in most of the oral cavity sites can be managed with brachytherapy alone either with intraoral cone or interstitial
brachytherapy in order to minimize exposure of normal tissue. As these techniques do not treat regional lymph node basins, they are only
appropriate to use as a single modality in selected stage I and II patients. The risk of occult nodal involvement in stage I and II is very low. External
beam radiation therapy to the draining lymph node regions is used as the primary mode of irradiation when regional lymph nodes are at signicant
risk for subclinical involvement, and brachytherapy may be added as a boost to the primary tumor. Since head and neck cancers are Surgeons
domain, number of patients reporting to Radiation Oncology department is too low to carry out large randomized trial. Most of the patients report to
Radiation Oncology department in either in late stage or in an early stage with poor general condition. This paves the way for selection bias and, of
course, inferior results when compared with other modality. To evaluate the role of this therapy in treatment of head and neck cancers, we have
reviewed its outcomes with oral cavity cancer. In conclusion, brachytherapy with or without EBRT can be an alternative to surgery in early and
locally advanced oral cavity cancers although concrete evidence is yet to be produced with a sophisticated study in a reproducible manner

Introduction: A liver abscess is a suppurative cavity in the liver resulting from the invasion and multiplication of microorganisms, entering
directly from an injury, through the blood vessels or by the way of the biliary ductal system. The present proposed study is aimed to assess the
prognostic value of serum C-reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase and gamma glutamyl transferase in the outcome of liver abscess. Methods:
Serum Levels of C-reactive Protein (CRP), Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) and Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) were measured in 125
patients with sonographic evidence of liver abscess at the time of diagnosis and weekly thereafter till 2 weeks after fever subsided. Results: CRP
value at the time of admission was generally high and values were higher in larger size abscesses, indicates severity of disease. Its value gradually
decreased with treatment and resolution of liver abscess. LDH value at the time of admission was generally on higher side of normal limit but
showed a decreasing pattern in response to treatment and resolution of abscess. GGTvalue at the time of admission was high and gradually its level
has decreased with treatment and resolution of liver abscess. However, it remained above normal levels in patients with history of alcohol
addiction. Conclusion: Higher value of CRP, LDH, GGT correlate with severity of liver abscess disease. These serum markers have prognostic
signicance.

Authors: S Anoop , S Vishnu , Raffic M
Published: November 2022

Background:Arthroscopic anterior cruciate reconstruction has become one of the most successful surgical techniques in sports medicine however
initial secure graft xation is essential for the success of any ACL reconstruction. Objective: The study was done to evaluate the functional
outcome of arthroscopic ACLreconstruction using hamstring graft xed with suspension button for femur and interference screw for tibial xation.
Material And Methods: From 2017 to 2018 January in Sree Gokulam Medical College Venjaramoodu, Trivandrum, 48 patients underwent ACL
reconstruction using semitendinous graft xed with suspension button at femur and interference screw at tibial site. 8 patients were excluded from
the study. The age group in our study was between 20-50 years of age. We assessed the patients preoperatively and postoperatively with 6 and 24
months interval by IKDC knee score 2000. Results: Our study showed that Arthroscopically assisted ACL reconstruction could effectively
improve stability and function of knee joint. In our study IKDC score was done at pre op and post-op with 6 and 24 months interval. Mean average
IKDC score was 38.995 during the preoperative period, at 6 months was 55.253 and 24 months was 88.111. On comparison of the mean values for
IKDC scoring for (a) preoperative period to 6 months was 16.258, (b) preoperative period to 24months was 49.116 and (c) 6 months to 24 months
postoperative period was 32.858. The P values for all these comparisons were <0.001, hence signicant. There were eleven Isolated ACL injuries
who had pre-op , six and twenty forth month post-op functional score of 44.04,63.35 and 90.259 respectively. Ten ACL with lateral meniscus
injuries had pre-op , six and twenty forth month post-op functional score of 35.62, 53.85 and 88.348 recpectively. Nineteen ACL with medial
meniscal injuries had pre-op , six and twenty forth month post-op functional score of 37.85, 51.30 and 86.74 respectively. Conclusion: Isolated
ACL had better functional score. The improvement in the IKDC score was during the 6-24 month range. When ACL with meniscal injuries were
compared, the one with ACLreconstruction and lateral meniscetomy showed better outcome.

COVID-19 is one of the corona viruses in which COVID-19 positive patients developed symptoms like fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue,
loss of appetite, sputum production, joint pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Exacerbation of COVID-19 has developed an urge to introduce
vaccine for COVID-19 and UK became rst country to approve COVID-19 vaccine produced by Pzer/BioNtech globally. India launched its
Phase I vaccination programme against COVID-19 on 16th January, 2021 with two vaccines (Covishield and Covaxin). Manipur started
vaccination simultaneously with Covishield among health care workers and frontline workers. A study was conducted about the acceptance of
COVID 19 vaccine among 200 post graduates medical students irrespective of the age and sex by using self administered questionnaries. It was
found that only about 87(43.5%) Postgraduate students got vaccinated.The common side effects include pain, fever, myalgia, increase in sleep
and decrease in sleep. It can be concluded that no major side effects were associated with this vaccine.
TARGETED ULTRASOUND-GUIDED PERINEURAL HYDRODISSECTION OF THE SCIATIC NERVE AND CORTICOSTEROID INJECTION FOR THE TREATMENT OFPIRIFORMIS SYNDROME
Authors: C Kyndiah Ebenezer , Kamal F.
Published: November 2022

Piriformis syndrome is a common cause of lumbar, gluteal, and thigh pain frequently associated with sciatic nerve symptoms. Etiology depends on
individual predisposition or congenital anomalies. The mechanism is sciatic nerve impingement under the tendinous portion of the piriformis
muscle due to spasm of the muscle. There is a common pathological end pathway involving hypertrophy, spasm, contracture, inammation, and
scarring of the piriformis muscle, leading to impingement of the sciatic nerve. Ultrasound guided piriformis injection is frequently used in the
treatment of piriformis syndrome, with most of the published literature describing injection of the muscle. We described a safe, effective
ultrasound-guided injection technique for the treatment of piriformis syndrome among patients attending Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
(PMR) outpatient and inpatient departments in SSKM hospital, Kolkata (December 2019-June 2021) not responding to conservative management
by using the targeted sciatic perineural hydrodissection followed by therapeutic corticosteroid injection.
