Epidemiological Overview HIV-AIDS in the Microregion of Varginha (MG)
Authors: FS Larissa
Published: September 2022

Since the emergence of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), with the consequent development of the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) in the 1980s, the identification of the infection has been a milestone for science and is considered a public health problem. Currently, about 38 million people live with HIV/AIDS in the world, of which 920,000 of these people are in Brazil, in the micro-region of Varginha (Varginha, Três Corações, Três Pontas, Campos Gerais, Boa Esperança, Elói Mendes , Campanha, Guapé, Ilicínea, Carmo da Cachoeira, Campo do Meio, Coqueiral, Monsenhor Paulo, Santana da Vargem, São Thomé das Letras and São Bento Abade), with an estimated population of 478 thousand inhabitants, between 2010 and 2020, 510 people were diagnosed with HIV and 533 people living with AIDS. In this way, the present article aimed to carry out a survey of epidemiological data on HIV/AIDS in the last 10 years, on platforms made available by the Government, and to relate it to the variables of sex and age, where it was possible to observe a masculinization of cases, with higher prevalence in the age group of 30 to 39 years in the general population. The importance of understanding the infection at its beginning is essential for diagnosis, since it allows alternative therapeutic decisions to be made, avoiding exacerbated viral replication, mitigating the AIDS pathology picture and its subsequent systemic damage to the body, which promotes greater expenses for the patient's public agencies. Therefore, the epidemiological study of HIV/AIDS is of great importance, as it can assist in the development of effective programs to control the infection by governments, in addition to contributing to the control and awareness of vulnerable populations, bringing benefits to public health in the region.
Significance of Heart Rate Profile during Treadmill Stress Test - A Critical Appraisal
Authors: Mittal SR
Published: September 2022

Several studies have tried to correlate heart rate profile during treadmill stress test with presence and severity of coronary artery disease and long term prognosis. These studies have concluded that higher resting heart rate, inability to increase heart rate commensurate with increase in work load (chronotropic incompetence), and inadequate decline in heart rate after stopping exercise (abnormal heart rate recovery) are all associated with increased long term mortality. Detailed evaluation, however, shows that these studies had important limitations e.g.(i) failure to exclude subclinical myocardial ischemia and/or left ventricular dysfunction (ii) failure to exclude subclinical systemic diseases by thorough clinical and laboratory evaluation (iii) not excluding symptomatic patients (iv) failure to correlate heart rate parameters with clinical and electrocardiographic parameters (v) failure to correlate their observation with echocardiographic and angiographic findings (vi) failure to perform multivariate analysis to find independent significance of heart rate parameters. Therefore, these studies do not provide any conclusive evidence of any diagnostic or prognostic significance of various heart rate parameters observed during treadmill stress test. Well-designed studies are needed.
A Case Report of Recurrent Flash Pulmonary Edema: The Pickering Syndrome
Authors: Sherpa Kunjang
Published: September 2022

Flash Pulmonary Edema (FPE) is a type of recurrent pulmonary edema that usually develops in patients with critical bilateral renal artery stenosis (RAS) or renal artery stenosis to a solitary kidney. A recent recommendation from the 20th European Meeting on Hypertension proposes naming this clinical entity Pickering Syndrome. Currently, it is one of the few clear indications for endovascular procedures in atherosclerotic renovascular disease. We present a case of a 45-year old female with Pickering syndrome and good outcome after revascularization.

In our review we talk about the historical aspects and future perspectives of paediatric myocardial protection.
Cardiac Surgery and Covid-19 Insight into Peri-Operative Management
Authors: Taneja Aditi
Published: September 2022

Background: Health care is seriously affected by the corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic with alarming effects upon conduct of cardiac surgery. The initial resource conservation strategy has to modify for handling the surging case load due to deference of routine care in the face of pandemic. Methods: The cardiac surgical practice during the lockdown period (from 25th March till 30TH November 2020) at a tertiary care centre was observed. The cardiac diagnosis of the ones operated, conduct algorithm, and working policy were analyzed. Descriptive statistics was applied to calculate the percentages of different case subsets in both adult and pediatrics groups. Results: Total of 333 emergency cases were operated on during the time frame from 25thMarch 2020 to 30thNovember 2020. Cases were divided into adult and pediatric cases. Total adult cases were 160 (48%) in number. Adult cases were further classified into aortic cases, coronary artery disease, valvular pathologies and miscellaneous ones. Total 11 aortic cases (6.8%), 43 CABG cases (26.8%), 42 valvular cases (26.2%) and 83 miscellaneous cases (51.8%) were operated. In the pediatric population, a total of 173 cases (52%) were operated, with 42 cases (24.2%) being arterial switch operations, one case of ALCAPA repair (0.5%), 25 cases (14.4%) of TAPVC repair and others (60.6%). All cases were preoperatively COVID-19 negative. However postoperatively 10 patients (3%) showed symptoms of COVID-19 and on testing turned out to be COVID-19 positive. 8 patients (80%) were transferred to dedicated COVID-19 facility for management and later 6 (60%) were discharged after successful management. There was no COVID-19-related mortality and none of the health-care workers developed COVID-19 in the entire study period. Conclusion: The initial phase of resource conservation has undermined the routine cardiac surgical practice. The study showed that strict adherence to management algorithm is necessary for persisting smooth continuation of cardiac surgical practice with provision of optimum critical care. The strategic comeback against COVID-19 would urge institutional development of protocols to aid the post-surge period.
Is there Any Justification in Use Oof Expensive In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Add-Ons for Improving Endometrial Receptivity with no Concrete Proof-A Systematic Review
Authors: Kulvinder Kochar Kaur
Published: September 2022

The chances of live birth following in vitro fertilization (IVF) have plateaued despite lot of advances. A lot of extra therapies are available that suggest a lot of effectiveness in enhancing the success of IVF. The idea of this review is to detail whether any benefit is there regarding the add ones utilized with the idea of increasing endometrium receptivity. We included systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials (RCT’s) including separate trials. Basically 5 add ones were scrutinized namely Immune therapies comprising of corticosteroids, Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF), as well as intralipid, Endometrial Scratching; Endometrial Receptivity Array (ERA); Uterine Artery Vasodilation including Platelet rich plasma (PRP) as well as Intrauterine Human Chorionic Gonadotropins (HCG). The results point that no strong proof is there that such add on are efficacious as well as safe. Many of these are expensive and it is better to use that money for any treatment that has been proven by evidence. Need for large RCT’s as well as proper safety examination are a must before they get used during routine clinical practice.

Authors: M Ettaouil
Published: September 2022

Bladder calculi are a common long-term complication of enterocystoplasty. Increasingly, mini-invasive techniques are taking the place of open cystolithotomy in the management of this patient category. Options include extra-coropreal lithotripsy, endoscopic management, percutaneous or combined technique using both endoscopic and laparoscopic approaches. Reports of Mitrofanoff cystolitholapaxy are rare and are not free from complications, the challenge is to obtain a free stone patient without compromising or the continence mechanism or inducing a mucosal lesion that could lead to the stenosis of the conduit. We report the case of a large neobladder calculi managed endoscopically using semi-rigid ureteroscope, which allowed a complete stone cleansing without damage to the Mitrofanoff conduit.

Penile Self-Mutilation: Cause and Management
Authors: A EL Moustapha
Published: September 2022

Self-mutilation of the penis is an unusual situation, which occurs in the majority of cases in a psychotic illness. The diagnosis is clinical and the management is multidisciplinary. We present a case of penile self-mutilation in a 36-year-old patient who was being treated for schizophrenia and had poor adherence to medication. The family went to the emergency room after seeing blood on his clothes by mistake. A severed penis with à 3 cm stump, a massive blood clot, and an amputation of part of the right hemi scrotum were discovered during the urogenital examination. A urethrostomy was performed, followed by suturing of the various plants of the residual stump and the scrotum. The postoperative follow-up was simple. The patient is followed up with his psychiatrist at the same time. The management of genital self-mutilation requires coordination between urologists and psychiatrists.
Key Enzymes in the Nitroglycerin Degradation Pathway
Authors: JB Hughes
Published: September 2022

Nitroglycerin (NG), widely used in explosives, propellants and pharmaceuticals, can be found in contaminated groundwater and soil and poses potential hazards to the environment. Arthrobacter sp. JBH1 was the first bacterial isolate able to grow on nitroglycerin (NG) as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen. The initial reaction and some of the enzymes involved in the NG transformation pathway were proposed, but the genes that encode the initial enzymes and the mechanism of release of the third nitrate group were unknown. In order to rigorously establish the degradation pathway, four old yellow enzyme (OYE) homologs from the genome of JBH1, and a glycerol kinase homolog, MngP, involved in the lower NG transformation pathway were overexpressed and purified from E. coli. The enzyme assays showed that the old yellow enzyme, PfvA, was 8 times more effective than PfvC in catalyzing the initial step of NG transformation. In addition to 1,2-dinitroglycerin (1,2-DNG), 1,3-DNG was a major denitration product. PfvA could also catalyze the transformation of both DNG isomers to 1-MNG and/or 2-MNG. 1-MNG was then subject to phosphorylation by MngP. Another key finding of this study is that the phosphorylated 1-MNG is a substrate for PfvC, which can catalyze removal of the last nitro group to produce glycerol-3-phosphate that enters central metabolism

Authors: RA Mandal
Published: September 2022

Macaca mulatta, and Macaca assamensis are common monkeys in Nepal. The Macaca assamensis was categorized as ‘Vulnerable’ under IUCN Red List. The habitat of the monkey was disturbed because of human interference and hence the consequence is frequent damage of human’s properties. However, there was limited study regarding the crop damage caused by monkeys in Nepal. Therefore, this study was objectively conducted to assess the damages and their spatial distribution caused by Monkeys nearby Shivapuri-Nagarjun National Park and also find the causes of interface between humans and Monkey. Four sites were visited and 120 house hold survey was done to collect the primary data. The GPS coordinates of the spatial distribution of damages were recorded. Secondary information about the damages was collected from 2019 to 2022. Descriptive and statistical analysis like trend analysis, principle component analysis and mapping of distribution of damages was done. The result showed that, the highest damage of the maize at Nayagaun, Thulogaun with 650 Kg while this was the lowest around 280 Kg. Similarly, the highest maize damage at Naagarjun, Gufagairi, Sarung danda was 400 Kg while the highest record of crop damage at Raniban, Ichangu Narayan was 190 Kg. The distribution map showed that there were 12 locations of maize damage over 450 kg at Nayagaun, Thulogaun. Similarly, the map of Goldhunga showed 17 places having medium damage (120-350 kg), 28 places of low damage (50-120 kg) while the 5 places of very low damage (<50 kg). The principle component analysis showed the causes of interface between humans and monkeys. The use of catapult in Nayagaun, Thulogaun, shout and charge threat in Naagarjun, Gufagairi, Sarung danda and in Raniban, Ichangu Narayan were the most influencing factors of this interface. This research will be useful for scientific community and policy maker.
The Destiny of “Refuse” in a Impure Society
Authors: S Dalzero
Published: September 2022

We want to be even too angelis: our city wants to get rid of odors, bad or good ones in every way possible…dirty is politics: politics is shame, but the degree of shame varies from culture to culture, from one historical moment to another. An objective condition however, is the existence of the need to dispose waste and this is why I believe it is a reality we need to accept and take advantage of, not to battle against and see as a shame and, therefore, need to “hide”. According to Godard, history today is contained in the history of cinema and the rest exists in the images we have. Our eyes are compelled to see through lenses of those that have already taken the picture, filmed, documented. In effect, I have no choice: form and direction are already embedded in the territory, and my task is only to reveal them, by building little by little the inner structure: the rhythm, the melody and harmony, the out of key places, subjected to my study. I find myself in the conditions of the founders when they had to domesticate an uninhabited place or a place inhabited before. A territory, for those who have just arrived is actually caos, a land that has to be acknowledged for its power, and to work with it by looking for it or avoiding it, strenghtening it or weakening it. Cities are scattered by buidings that do not belong to us, shored up by questionable, ambiguous, insignificant, indifferent architectures.Consider in this case the different incinerators, the fenced in places for waste disposal waiting to be treated to later reach other contexts, other dumps and consider all those spaces that interest the theme, object of this study. The environment is just not a figure. In it there are objective physical conditions and proportions of hygeine, climate, and of pollution. What do we feel in observing the magma of waste invading the earth sometimes in a respectful way, controlled, and sometimes completely free imposing without respect? The landscape continuously modifies to accomodate disposal and collection of waste but how aware are we that it’s a reality that will always accompany our life and how much are we willing to accept it and see it as an opportunity to plan and not as a problem to battle? In particular, this article is part of a more integrated study on the subject of waste, which has now descripted through the eyes of artists who have looked for the material, the feeling… of their works in the waste.
Ex-situ Conservation: A Source of Revenue Generation and Visitors’ Attraction (A Study from Central Zoo, Lalitpur, Nepal)
Authors: RA Mandal
Published: September 2022

The Zoo is famous example of ex-situ conservation. Central Zoo is only one Zoo of Nepal having high potentiality of ecotourism but the study regarding this is very limited. Thus, this research was objectively done to assess the trend of visitor in Central Zoo from 2009 to 2019 and revenue generation, visitor’s perception about the features in the Zoo. Total 108 visitors were interviewed to collect primary data to know their perception about features and facility in the Zoo. Among this, it was about 56.48% male and 43.52% female visitor. The secondary data were collected from published and unpublished report and documents of Central Zoo. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Rating analysis was also done to know perception of visitors about different features and their satisfaction about the available facility. The highest record of visitors was 1,154,436 in 2018/2019 which was more in comparison to 1,063,217 in fiscal year 2009/2008. The highest number of visitors were Nepali Adult that was 6, 73,323 followed by Nepali Children with 2,156,352 and Nepali students and other with 1,414,961 from 2009 to 2019. The maximum revenue generated from visitors was US$124, 09, 32 in 2018/2019 while this was the lowest about US$ 5, 66,502 in 2009/2010. Similarly, most satisfied facility was sanitation of the toilet with mean score 6.5. The visitors choose the information was easily accessible in the Zoo as most important item with 6.4 score. The estimated highest coefficient of variance of revenue generation from Zoo was same 2.17 (inconsistency) in 2017/2018 but it was lowest 1.45 (consistency) in 2009/2010 which showed the variation of monthly flow of visitors. This study helps to improve the important feature of the Zoo’s such as signpost around the entrance, animals view point, and animal shelter and provision of the guide for visitors and ease of car parking and possible implication for Zoo management are discussed.
Derechos de los seres sintientes en el marco jurídico mexicano
Authors: González Flores Juan Antonio , De La Cruz Díaz Eduardo
Published: September 2022

Se trata de una investigación jurídica, documental descriptiva que propone una nueva terminología para sustituir el concepto de animal por el de seres sintientes en el marco jurídico mexicano. Expone la inexistencia de directrices generales en el artículo 4 de la Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos para reconocer y garantizar de manera real los derechos de estos seres. La dispersión legislativa y la falta de reconocimiento limitan su protección y bienestar. Se analiza el marco jurídico y estudios en la materia, teorías, instrumentos de carácter internacional y se propone que los seres sintientes deben ser sujetos de derechos. A pesar de que en México las 32 entidades federativas tienen leyes de protección animal, no son suficientes para garantizar el derecho a la vida, la libertad, al no maltrato y a la salud de los seres sintientes. En la legislación no existen sanciones de carácter penal que contribuyan a prevenir, erradicar los abusos y actos inhumanos hacia estos seres y las investigaciones en este campo son incipientes.
Allophonic Variations in Educated Yoruba-English Bilinguals’ Pronunciation
Authors: Bankole Mercy Adenike
Published: September 2022

The study of Nigerian English phonology had been taken to the regional levels such as Hausa-English, Igbo-English and Yoruba-English by different scholars. This study is a response to the clarion call of Jowitt (2020:28) that the concentration of the scholars should be on the task of identifying, describing, and analyzing the forms of English usage in Nigeria for the purpose of working towards the codification of the variety called Nigerian English and, most importantly, the reception of the international recognition it deserves. While Standard English remains a model and a reference point against which other varieties can be evaluated, the local standard also needs to be specified, described, and recognized as belonging to the assemblage of world Englishes. A total number of 64 respondents comprising newscasters, lecturers, pastors, and part three University students were purposively selected for the study. The study employed Chomsky and Halle’s Generative Phonology to generate rules which account for the variations attested in the realisations of conditioned past tense morphs by educated Yoruba-English bilinguals in Southwestern Nigeria. Findings reveal that the pronunciation of Nigerian broadcasters can be described as a supportive model of Standard British English for Nigerian users of English. Also, noticeable variations in the realisations of the conditioned past tense morphemes by other participants; lecturers, pastors and students can be described as the reflections of Nigerian spoken English which can be arranged in form of re-written rules explicable within the scope of Generative Phonology.
Study of Inflation using Stationary Test with Augmented Dickey Fuller & Phillips-Peron Unit Root Test (Case in Bukittinggi City Inflation for 2014-2019)
Authors: Roza Afnita , Violita Evony Silvino , Aktivani Sherly
Published: September 2022

This classical regression model is designed to handle the relationship between stationary variables and should not be applied to non-stationary series. A time series data is said to be stationary if the mean, variance, and covariance remain constant over time. The problem associated with non-stationary variables, and often encountered by researchers when dealing with time series data, is spurious regression. A clear indicator of false regression is the low Durbin-Watson statistic but has a higher coefficient of determination (R2). Therefore, before doing modeling or forecasting using time series data, it is very important to do a stationary test. In this study, we use inflation data in the City of Bukittinggi from January 2014 to December 2019 as a case study. The data shows an uptrend and correlated error terms. Empirical results show that inflation data in Bukittinggi City is a stationary series.
